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 clients, 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 advanced, non-surgical 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-cosmetic-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.
Proven Tools, Concentrated on the Lower Face
Rather than one device working one layer, the Mini Butterfly Facelift layers complementary tools that also power the Butterfly Facelift, focused on the jawline and neck so each does what it does best:
Because the work is focused on a smaller area, the treatment is more efficient than the full-face protocol while using the same collagen-stimulating approach. As with every treatment here, there are no incisions, no anesthesia, and no injectable fillers.
- 1Focused ultrasound (Ultherapy) reaches the deep foundation layer to create genuine lift along the jaw and under the chin.
- 2Radiofrequency (RF skin tightening) heats the dermis to contract existing collagen and firm slack skin on the neck.
- 3Microneedling with AQ Growth Factors creates controlled microchannels, followed by AQ growth-factor serum, to refine crepey surface texture and support the skin's natural rejuvenation.
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 clients return to normal activity the same day.
Individual results vary.
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:

Is Apollo TriPollar RF Right for You?
Apollo TriPollar RF radiofrequency energy may be appropriate for adults seeking a non-surgical treatment to improve the appearance of mild skin laxity, fine lines, and reduced facial or jawline definition.
Radiofrequency treatment may not be appropriate over active infections, open wounds, compromised skin, certain metal implants, or electronic medical devices such as pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. Tattoos containing metallic particles in the treatment area may also require additional evaluation.
Tell us about all implanted devices, medical conditions, medications, pregnancy, and previous facial procedures during your consultation. Results vary, and multiple sessions may be recommended.
Treatment suitability is determined during your consultation. Medical clearance may be required, and treatment may be adjusted, postponed, or declined for safety reasons.

What Our Clients Say
Hak S
July 2026
I definitely recommend James. I came to him because I was concerned about wrinkles, loose skin, and the visible signs of aging. He did the Mini Butterfly Facelift, which combines radio frequency microneedling, TriPollar, and Ultherapy to address those concerns. From the very beginning, he took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly, and create a treatment plan that was personalized to exceed my goals. I’ve been so happy with the results. My skin looks smoother, firmer, and more youthful. What impressed me most was the level of care and attention Jim brings to my appointment. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and detail oriented, and I can tell he genuinely enjoys helping his patients achieve the best possible results. I always felt comfortable asking questions because he took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel confident throughout the entire process. His experience and dedication are evident in the quality of his work, and I’m so thankful I found him. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jim to anyone looking for someone who is skilled, professional, and truly cares about delivering beautiful, youthful looking results.

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 — Apollo TriPollar RF, Ultrasonic Cavitation, Ultherapy/HIFU, Microneedling with AQ Growth Factors, and Red Light and Near-Infrared Therapy — on the lower face, jawline, and neck instead of treating the whole face and décolletage. There is no surgery, no cosmetic 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 clients 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 clients resume normal activity the same day.
Is the Mini Butterfly Facelift painful?+
Most clients 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 clients 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 clients 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 – $4,500) because it concentrates on the lower face and neck. Every plan is finalized at your free consultation — see our pricing and financing options, or contact us for a personalized quote.
