Why It Works
The Off-Ramp from Injectables
While other practices ask you to book five separate appointments across five different devices, the Butterfly Facelift delivers all five technologies in one session — designed to work together synergistically for results no single device can achieve alone.
The session uses nothing but your body's own collagen response. No needles. No fillers. No foreign substances. No blood draws. No lasers. Ever. This means there's no risk of looking "overdone," no foreign materials in your face, and no trade-off between results and looking natural.
Invented by James Hooper, who has dedicated over 20 years to mastering non-surgical facial rejuvenation, the Butterfly Facelift has been featured on Dr. Oz, The Doctors, and LA Channel 11 News for its remarkable, visible results.
How It Works
The 5 Technologies
Apollo Tripolar
TriPollar radiofrequency combines multiple energy poles to gently heat the deeper dermis, contracting existing collagen for immediate tightening while triggering fresh collagen for lasting firmness.
Radiofrequency
Deep-penetrating radiofrequency energy heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, tighter, more youthful skin over time.
Ultherapy
Micro-focused ultrasound energy reaches the foundational SMAS layer — the same layer surgeons address in a surgical facelift — triggering your body's natural lifting and regenerative response, with zero downtime.
Microneedling
Fine microchannels, paired with radiofrequency, remodel scar tissue and stimulate fresh collagen, refining texture, minimizing pores and improving overall skin quality and tone.
Infrared Light
Targeted infrared wavelengths penetrate deep into the skin to reduce inflammation, boost cellular energy and circulation, and accelerate collagen synthesis and natural repair.

Questions, Answered
Common Questions
What is the Butterfly Facelift?+
The Butterfly Facelift is our signature non-surgical treatment that combines five complementary technologies — including focused ultrasound, radiofrequency, and RF microneedling — in a single session to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the face, neck, and décolletage. There is no surgery, no injectable fillers, and no downtime.
Am I a good candidate?+
The Butterfly Facelift is ideal for adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, jowling, drooping brows, loose neck skin, or general loss of facial volume and contour. A complimentary consultation will confirm your candidacy.
What does the treatment feel like?+
Most patients describe the session as relaxing. You may feel warmth and gentle pressure during certain technologies, but there is no pain. Many patients even fall asleep.
How long does the Butterfly Facelift take?+
A complete Butterfly Facelift session takes approximately 2.5 hours, because it combines several technologies in one visit. Most patients relax — or even nap — throughout, then return to their day.
Is there any downtime?+
There is zero downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately following your treatment. Mild redness or warmth may be present for a few hours.
When will I see results?+
Visible results are typically seen the same day. Your skin will continue to improve over the following 3–6 months as your collagen rebuilds and remodels naturally.
How long do results last?+
Results vary by individual, but most patients enjoy benefits for 12–18 months. Many choose to return annually to maintain their results.
How does this compare to a surgical facelift?+
The Butterfly Facelift delivers natural lifting and tightening without the incisions, general anesthesia, scarring, or weeks of recovery a surgical facelift requires. It won't replace surgery for very advanced sagging, but for mild to moderate aging it offers remarkable rejuvenation with no downtime.
How much does the Butterfly Facelift cost?+
The Butterfly Facelift ranges from $3,500 to $7,500 depending on the areas treated and your personalized plan. Financing is available, and every plan is confirmed at your complimentary consultation.
