signature treatment
Butterfly Facelift
Our proprietary multi-modality treatment that combines advanced non-surgical technologies into a single session.
FDA-cleared
Ultherapy
Focused ultrasound energy targets the deep structural layers of skin — the same layers addressed in surgery — to lift the brow, neck, and décolletage.
collagen induction
RF Microneedling
Combines microneedling's collagen-stimulating power with deep radiofrequency heat for dramatically tighter, smoother skin and refined texture.
deep tissue firming
Radiofrequency Tightening
Controlled radiofrequency heat triggers collagen remodeling deep in the dermis — producing visibly firmer, smoother skin and an unmistakable lift.
definition & contour
Non-Surgical Jawline
Sharpen and define your jawline without surgery. Help improve the appearance of jowls and support a crisp, youthful-looking profile with our non-surgical contouring protocols.
neck rejuvenation
Neck Tightening
Help improve the appearance of neck sagging, soften the look of platysma bands, and support a smoother, more youthful-looking profile — without surgery or scarring, and with minimal downtime for many clients.
youthful eyes
Eye Area Rejuvenation
Lift the look of droopy lids, smooth crow's feet, and help improve the appearance of under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and visible under-eye concerns — all without going under the knife. The most expressive feature, refreshed.
Non-Surgical vs. Surgical Facelift
Non-Surgical Facelift
✓ Minimal downtime for many clients — most return to normal life the same day
✓ No anesthesia — fully awake and comfortable
✓ No incisions, no scars
✓ May involve less recovery time than surgery — risks and suitability vary by treatment and individual
✓ Fraction of the cost of surgical alternatives
✓ Natural-looking, gradual results
Surgical Facelift
✕ 2–4 weeks downtime
✕ General or local anesthesia required
✕ Incisions and visible scars
✕ Surgical risk profile
✕ $10,000–$30,000+ cost range
✕ A different approach — surgical and non-surgical treatments involve different approaches, recovery periods, costs, and potential outcomes

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.

Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do non-surgical facelift results last?+
Many clients may see benefits for approximately 12–18 months, although longevity varies based on age, skin condition, treatment plan, lifestyle, and individual response. Some clients report longer-lasting improvement, and many schedule annual maintenance sessions to sustain results long-term.
Is a non-surgical facelift painful?+
Most treatments are well-tolerated with little to no discomfort. Ultherapy produces a mild warming sensation. RF Microneedling uses topical numbing cream for a comfortable experience. We prioritize your comfort throughout every session.
How much does a non-surgical facelift cost in Newport Beach?+
Pricing varies depending on the treatment plan we design for you. Non-surgical options start at a fraction of surgical costs ($10K–$30K+), and we offer flexible financing so you can begin treatment now. View our pricing page for details.
How many treatments do I need?+
Many clients see significant improvement after a single session. A series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart often produces optimal results for moderate skin laxity. Your consultation will determine exactly what you need.
Can I combine non-surgical facelift treatments?+
Absolutely — and we often recommend it. Combining Ultherapy with RF Microneedling, or following our proprietary Butterfly Facelift protocol, can enhance results by targeting multiple layers of the skin simultaneously.
