Non-Surgical Facelift and Skin Tightening Near Corona del Mar
Newport Beach Skin Tightening provides personalized, nonsurgical facial rejuvenation for clients from Corona del Mar and surrounding coastal communities. Located a short drive away in Costa Mesa near John Wayne Airport, our private studio specializes in the Butterfly Facelift® — a customized, five-technology approach created by James Hooper.
The treatment is designed for women who want a firmer jawline, smoother-looking skin and a naturally refreshed appearance without surgery, fillers or cosmetic injections.
Individual results vary.
A Private Alternative for Corona del Mar Clients
If you have hesitated at the door of a busy med spa, our studio will feel different. Appointments are private and unhurried — we see one client at a time, so you are never treated as one of many faces moving through a schedule. Every relationship begins with a free consultation and skin analysis, an honest conversation about your face and what may realistically be possible for you.
From there, nothing is pulled from a fixed menu. Your treatment is customized to you — your facial structure, your skin, your concerns — rather than to whichever device happens to be popular this season. And because we do not offer cosmetic injections, you will never feel pressure to receive them.
Our Costa Mesa location near John Wayne Airport is a convenient, discreet drive from Corona del Mar, with free parking right on-site.

Skin Concerns and Coastal Living
Many of our Corona del Mar clients spend real time outdoors — on the beach, on the water, on the golf course. Years of sun exposure may contribute to visible changes in skin tone, texture and firmness for some people, though everyone's skin is different. During your consultation, James evaluates your skin quality and recommends a personalized approach based on your specific concerns — whether that involves the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, crepey-looking skin on the neck and décolleté, or loss of firmness along the jawline.
The Butterfly Facelift®
The Butterfly Facelift® brings together five technologies in a single session of about 2.5 hours:
The plan is personalized. Not every client receives identical settings or treatment intensity — which technologies are emphasized, and how, depends on your skin and your goals as discussed in your consultation.
- 1Apollo Tripolar — radiofrequency energy that gently warms the deeper layers of the skin to support a firmer look
- 2Cavitation — focused ultrasonic energy used to help refine and contour
- 3Ultherapy — noninvasive focused ultrasound that targets the foundational layers of the skin
- 4Microneedling — controlled micro-channels that support skin texture and tone
- 5Red Light Therapy — soothing light used to support the skin after treatment
Butterfly Facelift or a Standalone Treatment?
Not everyone needs the full combination. Some clients start with a single technology; others want the comprehensive session. Which is appropriate depends on your skin and your goals — that is exactly what the free consultation is for.
No option is automatically "best" for everyone — the recommendation comes after James has actually looked at your skin.
| Option | May be appropriate for |
|---|---|
| Apollo Tripolar | Clients wanting a gentler standalone firming treatment |
| Ultherapy | Clients interested in treatment at deeper structural levels |
| Microneedling with RF | Clients concerned about texture and collagen remodeling |
| Butterfly Facelift® | Clients wanting a comprehensive, customized combination |
