What Is a Non-Surgical Facelift?

A non-surgical facelift is an umbrella term for minimally invasive treatments that lift sagging skin, smooth wrinkles, and restore lost volume without surgery. Instead of cutting and tightening skin like a traditional facelift, these treatments use injectables and energy-based devices to refresh your appearance.

Common concerns treated:

  • Sagging cheeks, early jowls & jawline sagging
  • Hollow temples and under-eyes
  • Deep smile lines and marionette folds
  • Drooping brows and loose skin on the neck
  • Wrinkles, crepey skin, and texture changes

The result: a refreshed, more youthful version of yourself — with little to no downtime.

Why Choose a Non-Surgical Facelift?

  • No Surgery or Scars – avoid anesthesia, incisions, and long recovery
  • Minimal Downtime – back to normal in 24–72 hours
  • CustomizablePDO threads, Ultherapy, Ellacor, Dermal Fillers, Botox, Lasers
  • Natural-Looking Results – artistry-driven approach by Dr. Schwarzburg
  • Cost-Effective – at a fraction of surgical facelift prices

Non-Surgical Facelift Options at Skinly Aesthetics

Dr. Schwarzburg’s facelift alternatives often combine multiple modalities for the best outcome:

PDO Thread Lift

Dissolvable sutures placed under the skin provide an instant lift and stimulate new collagen. Best for early jowls, sagging cheeks, and brow lifting. Results last 12–18 months.

Ultherapy (Ultrasound Skin Tightening)

FDA-cleared ultrasound penetrates the SMAS layer to contract collagen and tighten skin on the jawline, brow, and neck. Results build gradually over 2–3 months and last up to 2 years.

Ellacor Micro-Coring®

The newest FDA-cleared non-surgical device, Ellacor physically removes micro-cores of skin to tighten and smooth wrinkles without leaving scars. It’s particularly effective for lower face laxity, perioral lines, and early jowls.

Dermal Fillers & Botox (Liquid Facelift)

  • Fillers restore youthful contours to cheeks, temples, jawline, and under-eyes.
  • Botox/Dysport relax wrinkles on the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
     

Together they deliver subtle volume restoration and wrinkle reduction.

Laser Resurfacing & RF Microneedling

Fractional CO2, Fraxel, and RF microneedling (Morpheus8, SecretRF) improve fine lines, skin texture, pores, and laxity by stimulating collagen and resurfacing the skin.
