Non-Surgical Facelifts in Boston, MA
Facelifts are among the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the world today. But for some of us, taking that surgical plunge just doesn’t make sense. While the procedure is widely considered safe and effective, every surgery poses an inherent risk. Other points of reluctance have to do with the expense (upwards of $10,000) or the ultimate results (natural vs. unnatural).
Thankfully, at Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery, there’s a non-surgical alternative to the classic facelift. Non-surgical facelifts are performed by combining several non-surgical facial procedures in order to achieve the cumulative effect of a surgical facelift. Without incisions, dangerous anesthetics, or a large, lump-sum expense, non-surgical facelifts offer a middleground to those of us not quite ready or willing to undergo more drastic procedures.
How Non-Surgical Facelifts Work
People often seek surgical facelifts to address several signs of aging, including sunken cheeks, flat lips, pronounced wrinkles, and overall skin laxity (loose skin along the cheeks, jowls, brow, and eyebrows). Surgical facelifts succeed because they address many of these concerns in one procedure.
Non-surgical facelifts work by using separate procedures to address each issue independently, contributing to a total facial rejuvenation. By combining minimally- and non-invasive procedures, you’re spared the risks, downtime, and expense of surgery.
Depending on your ultimate goals, we recommend a combination of the following procedures:
Strategic Botox® Injections
Radio Frequency Microneedling
Laser Resurfacing
Dermal Fillers
Fat Injections/Transfer
Platelet Rich Plasma
Chemical Peels
Thread Lifting
Microdermabrasion
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

Additionally, if for whatever reason you’re dissatisfied with the results of your procedures, we can make adjustments to bring expectations more in line with your goals. Surgical facelifts cannot be undone or tailored for a substantial difference after the fact.
Are You Eligible for a Non-Surgical Facelift?
Because non-surgical facelifts consist of many individual procedures, your candidacy will depend on your overall suitability and fitness. Thankfully, these procedures are recommended as a non-surgical approach simply because they’re less risky, less invasive, and more likely to apply to a greater number of interested patients.
During your consultation at Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery, we’ll speak with you about your medical history, listen to your desires and goals, and recommend a course of action in keeping with your expectations.
Non-Surgical Facelift FAQs
Determining a timeframe for the cumulative effect of multiple procedures is nearly impossible. Each procedure’s results have their own expected duration. Age spots and hyperpigmentation may be permanently destroyed, for instance, while the effects of dermal fillers and injectables can wear off in 3-9 months.
Most patients would not describe non-surgical facelifts as painful. Designed to be minimally- and non-invasive alternatives to a surgical procedure, comfort and ease are at the heart of this treatment option. At worst, your non-surgical facelift will require needles or intense light—neither of which feel like anything more than a rubber band snapping on your skin.
As with surgical procedures, it can be difficult to foresee complications before they happen. That being said, surgical techniques and anesthesia can (in some patients) pose a fatal risk. In this way, non-surgical techniques are safer since (on average) they do not require life-threatening methods to perform.
At Regeneris Medspa & cosmetic Surgery, we won’t recommend procedures that could be dangerous for you as an individual. During your consultation, we’ll speak at length about your medical history to determine the best approach for you.
