Newport Beach Skin Tightening welcomes clients from Newport Coast, Pelican Hill, Crystal Cove and the coastal neighborhoods along this stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway.

Individual results vary.
A Discreet Alternative for Newport Coast & Crystal Cove Clients
Clients from Newport Coast and Crystal Cove tend to value two things above all: privacy and results that look like nothing was "done." Our studio was built around both. We see one client at a time — there is no crowded lobby, no assembly-line schedule, and no one hovering with a menu of injectables.
Every relationship begins with a free consultation and skin analysis: an honest conversation about your face, your skin and what may realistically be possible for you. From there, your plan is customized — to your facial structure, your concerns and your goals — not pulled from a fixed treatment menu. Because we do not offer cosmetic injections at all, you will never feel pressure to add them.
Our location near John Wayne Airport is an easy, discreet drive up MacArthur Boulevard or the 73, with free parking steps from the door.

Sun, Sea Air and Your Skin
Life along Crystal Cove State Park and the Newport Coast bluffs means real time in the sun — walks on the sand, rounds at Pelican Hill, afternoons on the water. Over the years, 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 — the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, crepey-looking skin on the neck and décolleté, or softening along the jawline.
The Butterfly Facelift®
The Butterfly Facelift® brings together five technologies in a single session of about 2.5 hours:
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 TriPollar RF — radiofrequency energy that gently warms the deeper layers of the skin to support a firmer look
- 2Ultrasonic Cavitation — focused ultrasonic energy used to help refine and contour
- 3Ultherapy (HIFU) — noninvasive focused ultrasound that targets the foundational layers of the skin
- 4Microneedling with AQ Growth Factors — controlled microchannels followed by AQ growth-factor serum to support skin texture and tone
- 5Red Light and Near-Infrared Therapy — soothing light used to support the skin after treatment
Full Session or a Single Treatment?
Some clients want the comprehensive session; others start with one technology. Which is appropriate depends on your skin — that is exactly what the free consultation is for.
No option is automatically "best" — the recommendation comes after James has actually looked at your skin.
| Option | May be appropriate for |
|---|---|
| Apollo TriPollar RF | 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 |

About James Hooper
James Hooper is the founder of Newport Beach Skin Tightening and the sole creator of the Butterfly Facelift®. His approach was shaped by three decades of experience in advanced wellness, anti-aging, and individualized care — and by more than 6,000 client visits at his Costa Mesa studio.
His philosophy is simple: rejuvenation should never leave a woman looking frozen, overfilled, or unlike herself. Rather than running every face through the same device and the same protocol, he built a studio around one question — what does this woman's face actually need?
