NECK & JAWLINE FOCUS
Mini Butterfly Facelift Starter Session
The targeted version of our signature treatment — the same non-surgical technologies focused on the jawline and neck for a sharper jaw and smoother neck, with no surgery.
As Seen On
A Focused Version of the Butterfly Facelift
The full Butterfly Facelift treats the whole face, neck, and décolletage by layering several skin-tightening technologies in one session. Many patients, though, are happy with their cheeks and mid-face — what bothers them is a softening jawline, early jowls, or loose, crepey skin on the neck.
The Mini Butterfly Facelift answers that. It applies the same proven, FDA-cleared technologies James Hooper uses in the flagship protocol, but concentrates them on the lower face and neck rather than treating every zone. A more targeted treatment means a more focused, often more affordable session — without changing the no-surgery, no-injection philosophy the practice is built on.
What It Targets
The Mini Butterfly Facelift is designed for concerns along the lower third of the face and the neck:
✓ A softening or blurred jawline ✓ Early jowls and loose skin along the jaw ✓ Crepey, lax skin on the neck ✓ Loss of definition between the chin and neck
If your concerns extend across the cheeks, mid-face, and décolletage as well, the full Butterfly Facelift is usually the better fit — and your consultation will make that call clearly and honestly.
The Science Behind the Results
The Same Technologies, Concentrated
Rather than one device working one layer, the Mini Butterfly Facelift layers complementary technologies on the jawline and neck so each does what it does best — the same collagen-stimulating approach, focused where you need it.
01
Apollo Tripolar
TriPollar radiofrequency warms the deeper layers to contract collagen and firm the skin from the very first session.
02
Radiofrequency
Delivers deep, controlled heat to stimulate collagen and elastin, tightening laxity and refining tone over time.
03
Ultherapy
Micro-focused ultrasound lifts and tightens at the foundational layer — the same layer surgeons address in a facelift.
04
Microneedling
Microchannels paired with RF remodel scar tissue and boost collagen, refining texture, pores and overall skin quality.
05
Infrared Light
Infrared light penetrates deep to calm inflammation, boost circulation and accelerate the skin's natural repair.
What to Expect
Results from any collagen-based treatment build over time. You may notice firmer skin early, but the real change develops over the following three to six months as new collagen forms and matures along the jaw and neck. Downtime is minimal, and most patients return to normal activity the same day.
Because the Mini Butterfly Facelift is more targeted, it is a smaller investment than the full Butterfly Facelift — most plans range from $2,500 to $2,750. Every plan is tailored at your free consultation, so the most accurate way to compare the two is to come in and have James assess your skin directly.
Mini or Full — How to Decide
Choosing between the two comes down to how much of the face you want to address:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mini Butterfly Facelift?+
It is a focused version of the Butterfly Facelift that concentrates the same non-surgical skin-tightening technologies — focused ultrasound, radiofrequency, and RF microneedling — on the lower face, jawline, and neck instead of treating the whole face and décolletage. There is no surgery, no injections, and no filler.
How is it different from the full Butterfly Facelift?+
The technologies and the no-surgery philosophy are the same. The difference is the treatment area: the Mini focuses on the jawline and neck, while the full Butterfly Facelift treats the entire face, neck, and décolletage. Because the Mini is more targeted, it is typically a smaller investment.
Who is a good candidate?+
It is best suited to patients whose main concerns are a softening jawline, early jowls, or loose, crepey neck skin. If you also want to address the cheeks, mid-face, and décolletage, the full Butterfly Facelift is usually the better choice. A complimentary consultation confirms which is right for you.
Does it involve surgery, injections, or fillers?+
No. Like every treatment at Newport Beach Skin Tightening, the Mini Butterfly Facelift uses no incisions, no anesthesia, and no injectable fillers. Downtime is minimal and most patients resume normal activity the same day.
Is the Mini Butterfly Facelift painful?+
Most patients find it very comfortable, describing gentle warmth and mild tingling during the session. Topical numbing is used where helpful, and there is no pain from surgery because none is involved.
Is there any downtime?+
Downtime is minimal. You may have brief redness or mild swelling along the jaw and neck for a short time, and most patients return to normal activity the same day.
When will I see results?+
Results build gradually as your own collagen rebuilds, with the most noticeable change developing over three to six months along the jaw and neck.
How long do results last?+
Because the lift comes from your own rebuilt collagen, results typically last around 12–18 months. Many patients return for a maintenance session to keep the jawline and neck looking their best.
How much does it cost?+
The Mini Butterfly Facelift ranges from $2,500 to $2,750 — a lower investment than the full Butterfly Facelift ($3,500 – $7,500) because it concentrates on the lower face and neck.
