August 2026
I am extremely pleased with my experience at James’s Newport Beach location. I came in feeling unhappy with the changes I was seeing in my face, especially the tired and hollow appearance around my eyes, enlarged pores, and sagging beneath my jawline and chin. James listened carefully, understood my concerns, and made me feel comfortable and confident about my treatment. The difference has been amazing. My face looks tighter, my jawline appears more defined, and I look refreshed and rejuvenated. I honestly feel like I jumped into the fountain of youth! Everyone has been complimenting me and noticing how good I look. James didn’t just improve my appearance—he gave me my youth and confidence back. I finally feel like myself again. I am truly grateful and very pleased with the care and service I received. I plan to continue allowing James to treat my face, and I would gladly recommend him to others.

I heard about Newport Beach Skin Tightening from a friend who had great results. She hadn’t seen me in a while and noticed the dark circles and bags under my eyes, so she suggested I visit the facility in Newport Beach that had helped her. The staff was very friendly, and when I met Mr. Hooper, he had great energy and was optimistic that he could help me regain some of my youthful appearance. I decided to go ahead with the treatment. The process took a little under three hours, with absolutely zero pain, and I was comfortable the entire time. When I looked in the mirror afterward, I felt the dark circles and bags under my eyes had improved by at least 50%. Later, I FaceTimed two friends without telling them I had done anything, and both immediately asked why I looked so young and what I had done. I also had people I see regularly ask, “Wow, what happened to you?” The biggest difference for me was the confidence I felt afterward. I’m very pleased with my experience at the Newport Beach Skin Tightening facility in Newport Beach.

What did I do to it? You're a magician. Oh my God. Oh yeah, look at those dents right here. Look really close with, notice the dent right here. Yeah, that's nice. Oh my God, I could have never gotten rid of that. Straighten out the jawline, take away the extra fat around here. My neck looks fantastic. Wow. Thin out the nose. He's made everything tighter. My forehead's even, coloration is much more even. It's just all pulled back the way it should be. Are you happy? I'm ecstatic, thank you. My face is a lot thinner and a lot tighter, like a lot smoother. Get this, this is up, and like the marks underneath my eyes, the bags are much less, but this part is the best so far that I see. Like my face looks like it's been lifted. So what do you notice? Like the jawline looks more clear. Baby, good job or bad job? Good job. That's good. You like it? I love it. You see the jawline? Yeah. Do you like everything you see? Looks very tight. Very tight. Are you happy? Yeah.
Hear From a Real Client
A Newport Beach Skin Tightening client reacts on camera to her same-day, non-surgical results — including a more defined jawline and reduced-looking fullness under the chin and neck. Watch more real stories on our video testimonials page. Individual results vary.
A Comprehensive Alternative for the Face and Neck
People considering a facelift are often looking beyond one patch of loose skin. They may want the cheeks, jawline, jowls, neck, eye area and overall skin quality to look more balanced and refreshed together.
The Butterfly Facelift® is James Hooper’s customized, multi-technology facial-rejuvenation approach for suitable clients who want to avoid surgery, Botox, fillers, cosmetic injections and threads. It is intended to support lifting, tightening, contour and skin quality without surgical incisions or surgical anesthesia. It does not reproduce or promise results equivalent to surgery.
If your priority is narrower — comparing radiofrequency, ultrasound or RF microneedling for a specific area of loose skin — use the Newport Beach skin-tightening technology guide instead.
How a Butterfly Facelift® Plan Is Built
The treatment plan begins with the face as a whole. James considers the client’s skin condition, facial structure, areas of concern, goals and treatment suitability, then selects the package and settings that fit the agreed scope.
The Mini Butterfly Facelift® combines 4 technologies, the Butterfly Facelift® combines 6, and the Signature Butterfly Facelift® combines 7. The most comprehensive package is not automatically the right package for every client.
| Rejuvenation goal | Role in a coordinated plan | Approved options that may be discussed |
|---|---|---|
| Lift and firm | Support collagen renewal and a firmer-looking face or neck | Apollo TriPollar® RF, radiofrequency tightening and Ultherapy/HIFU |
| Define and contour | Address the appearance of lower-face fullness and softened jawline definition | Ultrasonic cavitation and other suitable technologies within the selected plan |
| Refresh skin quality | Support smoother-looking texture and collagen renewal | RF microneedling, AQ growth-factor skin solution, red light and near-infrared therapy where included |
| Coordinate the whole face | Balance the treatment areas and technology roles within one personalized session | Mini Butterfly Facelift®, Butterfly Facelift® or Signature Butterfly Facelift® |
Skin Tightening vs. a Non-Surgical Facelift
Skin tightening focuses primarily on loose or lax-looking skin and the choice among radiofrequency, focused ultrasound and RF microneedling. A non-surgical facelift discussion is broader: it considers the cheeks, lower face, jawline, jowls, neck, facial contours and skin quality together, then determines whether a coordinated Butterfly Facelift® plan or a focused treatment such as Ultherapy may fit.
The distinction is scope, not a promise of greater results. A broader plan may support lift, contour and natural-looking face-and-neck rejuvenation for suitable clients, while a focused skin-tightening treatment may be more appropriate when laxity in one area is the primary concern. Neither path promises an outcome equivalent to surgery.
Surgical Facelift vs. a Non-Surgical Facelift
A neutral consultation should help clarify which path matches your goals. If the change you want requires surgery, a non-surgical plan should not be presented as an equivalent substitute.
| Consideration | Surgical facelift | Butterfly Facelift® / non-surgical path |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure | Surgery performed by a qualified surgeon; may involve incisions, anesthesia and tissue repositioning | Personalized, multi-technology treatment with no surgical incisions or surgical anesthesia |
| Scope | May be appropriate for people seeking changes non-surgical treatments cannot provide | Intended for suitable clients seeking lift, tightening, contour and refreshed-looking skin without surgery |
| Recovery | Recovery varies; swelling, bruising, scarring, anesthesia considerations and other risks should be discussed with the surgeon | Recovery varies by technology and person; temporary redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness, pinpoint marks or other side effects may occur |
| Results | Surgical and non-surgical outcomes are different | Does not promise or reproduce results equivalent to surgery |
| Who to consult | A qualified plastic surgeon for surgical candidacy, risks and expected outcome | Newport Beach Skin Tightening for non-surgical treatment suitability and realistic expectations |
How It Differs From Botox and Fillers
Botox temporarily relaxes selected muscles, while fillers add volume. They are separate non-surgical categories with their own benefits, limitations, risks, side effects and maintenance schedules.
The Butterfly Facelift® uses no Botox, fillers, cosmetic injections or threads. Its technologies are selected to support collagen renewal, skin firmness, contour and skin quality. Some clients exploring this route are stepping away from injectables and want a different kind of rejuvenation plan.
Who May Be a Candidate?
A non-surgical facelift discussion may be appropriate for adults with mild to moderate facial, jawline, jowl or neck laxity who want visible rejuvenation without surgery and understand that results will differ from a surgical facelift.
It may also be worth discussing if you:
- Want the face and neck considered together rather than treating one isolated area
- Prefer to avoid Botox, fillers, cosmetic injections or threads
- Are not ready for surgery or surgical recovery
- Want to maintain or complement the appearance achieved after a previous procedure
- Can accept temporary treatment-specific side effects and variable results
Suitability depends on health history, skin condition, facial structure, goals and the selected technologies. A consultation is required; treatment is not recommended solely because someone matches a checklist.

Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a non-surgical facelift?+
A non-surgical facelift is a broad term for treatments intended to lift, tighten, contour or rejuvenate the face without facelift surgery. The Butterfly Facelift® is a personalized, multi-technology option for suitable clients. Non-surgical approaches use no surgical incisions or surgical anesthesia and should not be presented as equivalent to surgery.
Can a non-surgical facelift provide the same result as surgery?+
No equivalent result is promised. Non-surgical treatment may support visible lifting, tightening, contour and skin-quality improvement for suitable clients, but surgery and non-surgical treatment differ in procedure, recovery, risks and potential outcomes. Consult a qualified plastic surgeon if you are considering surgical results.
What nonsurgical facelift options are available in Newport Beach?+
For suitable clients, options may include a focused treatment such as Ultherapy, non-surgical neck tightening when the concern sits below the jaw, or a coordinated Butterfly Facelift® plan that considers the face, jawline, jowls, neck and skin quality together. The appropriate scope depends on your concerns, skin condition and goals. These are non-surgical options and are not substitutes for a surgical facelift when surgery is needed to achieve the desired change.
What is a non-surgical alternative to a facelift in Newport Beach?+
For suitable clients seeking a facelift alternative in Newport Beach, a consultation may compare focused skin-tightening treatments with a coordinated Butterfly Facelift® plan. The non-surgical route is designed to support lifting, tightening, contour and skin quality without surgical incisions or anesthesia, but it does not reposition facial tissue or promise results equivalent to a surgical facelift.
How much does a facelift cost in Newport Beach?+
Our non-surgical package pricing is $400–$900 for the Mini Butterfly Facelift®, $2,500–$3,000 for the Butterfly Facelift® and $4,500–$7,500 for the Signature Butterfly Facelift®. Those prices apply to the stated non-surgical treatment scope, not to facelift surgery. Surgical facelift pricing, procedure details and candidacy should be discussed directly with a qualified plastic surgeon. For a non-surgical plan, the recommended package depends on goals, treatment scope and suitability; financing information is available on the pricing page.
Does the Butterfly Facelift® use Botox, fillers or threads?+
No. The Butterfly Facelift® uses no Botox, fillers, cosmetic injections or threads. It combines complementary technologies selected according to the client’s skin, facial structure, concerns, goals and suitability.
How long can non-surgical facelift results last?+
Many clients may see benefits for approximately 12–18 months, although longevity varies with age, skin condition, treatment plan, lifestyle, maintenance and individual response. A consultation can explain the expected timeline for the technologies included in the proposed plan.
Is there downtime after a Butterfly Facelift®?+
Downtime is limited for many clients, but recovery varies by the technologies used and the individual. Temporary redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness, pinpoint marks or other treatment-specific side effects may occur. Expected recovery should be discussed for the exact plan before treatment.
Who creates the Butterfly Facelift® treatment plan?+
James Hooper is an aesthetic specialist and the Founder and Sole Creator of the Butterfly Facelift®. He develops customized rejuvenation plans according to the client’s concerns, goals and treatment suitability. James Hooper is not a physician. Medical oversight and licensed-provider involvement are determined according to the service performed and applicable requirements.
