In recent years, there's been a noticeable rise in the number of people in their 30s and 40s exploring surgical facelifts to address early signs of ageing. While surgery is a personal decision and may be the right choice for some, it's not the only option available.
In fact, many clients are looking for ways to refresh and rejuvenate their appearance without the cost, pain, and extended downtime that comes with surgery.
Fortunately, several effective non-surgical alternatives can deliver impressive results - lifting, tightening, and refreshing the face while maintaining a natural and balanced look. Here are some of our recommendations…
PDO Threads: Lift and Support
PDO (polydioxanone) Threads are one of the most popular non-surgical lifting treatments available today. This minimally invasive procedure uses dissolvable threads placed under the skin to provide structural support and a subtle lift to areas like the mid-face, jowls, jawline, and neck.
As the threads gradually dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time. Results are natural and continue to improve in the weeks following treatment.
RF Skin Tightening: Plump and Define
Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening is another favourite when it comes to non-invasive lifting and contouring. This treatment uses controlled RF energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production.
It’s ideal for clients wanting to define the jawline, tighten loose skin on the face or neck, and improve overall skin tone. With no downtime and a comfortable treatment experience, RF Skin Tightening is perfect for those wanting gradual, long-lasting results.
Volume Restoration and Fine Line Treatments
As we age, we naturally lose volume in key areas of the face, particularly the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. This can lead to sagging, shadowing, and an overall tired appearance. Treatments performed by our Registered Nurses can restore lost volume and soften fine lines to help refresh your appearance in a subtle but effective way.
For those wanting to open the eye area or create a more lifted brow, there are also treatment options available that don’t involve surgery.
Skin Quality Matters Too
When thinking about age management, many people focus solely on lines, volume, and sagging, but the quality of your skin plays an equally important role in maintaining a youthful appearance. Elasticity, hydration, smooth texture, and even tone all contribute to how refreshed your skin looks.
That’s why regular skin treatments and a personalised homecare routine are essential. Treatments like skin needling, enzyme therapy, LED light therapy, and chemical peels can improve skin quality, promote healthy cell turnover, and support long-term results. Combining these with non-surgical lifting techniques ensures a well-rounded, age-management strategy.
