What is Non-Surgical Face Lift?
Non-surgical face lift is an aesthetic treatment method that aims to reduce signs of aging and sagging of the skin without the need for surgical intervention. These methods are generally non-invasive (non-surgical) applications and are used to increase skin elasticity, tighten facial lines and provide a youthful appearance.
It works using a variety of techniques that support the production of collagen and elastin under the skin. Applications include methods such as radio frequency, laser treatments, ultrasound energy and rope suspension system. Each of them targets the skin texture, correcting sagging and helping to tighten the skin. Non-surgical facelift is generally preferred with minimal pain and recovery process, allowing patients to quickly return to their daily lives.
It helps to achieve a young and healthy appearance by preserving the natural structure of the skin while improving the general appearance of the face. Non-surgical facelift options can be customized based on individual needs and goals, so the most appropriate treatment plan should be determined for each individual.
How to Perform a Non-Surgical Face Lift?
Non-surgical face lift is the general name of the methods applied to rejuvenate and tighten the skin using advanced technologies of plastic surgery. These methods are applied to rejuvenate the appearance of the face and increase the elasticity of the skin without the need for surgical intervention.
Among these treatments, techniques such as radio frequency, ultrasound energy, laser treatments, rope suspension systems and carboxytherapy stand out. Radio frequency sends heat energy to the lower layers of the skin and stimulates collagen production, tightening the skin. Ultrasound energy, on the other hand, sends energy to the deep skin layers, supporting skin tightening and providing rejuvenation. Laser treatments increase collagen production and renew skin tissue by sending energy to the upper and lower layers of the skin.
The thread suspension system allows the skin to be pulled upwards with thin threads placed under the skin. These threads dissolve over time and increase collagen production under the skin. Carboxytherapy, on the other hand, encourages skin rejuvenation and tightening by injecting carbon dioxide gas under the skin.
Each method may differ in terms of application process and recovery process. With a detailed evaluation before the treatment, the most suitable method for the person is selected and the treatment process is planned accordingly.
Who is Non-Surgical Face Lift Suitable for?
Non-surgical face lift treatments are an ideal option for people who have aesthetic concerns but do not decide on surgical intervention. These methods are generally suitable for individuals whose skin begins to show signs of aging and whose skin loses its elasticity. However, some criteria must be taken into account to determine who can benefit from these treatments.
Non-surgical facelift treatments are generally recommended for people of middle age and older. Signs of aging can be seen on the skin starting from the age of 30, and in this process, non-surgical methods can help maintain the young and fresh appearance of the skin. Especially people with problems such as fine lines, slight wrinkles and skin loosening can benefit from these treatments. However, skin condition, age, general health status and aesthetic goals are also factors that affect treatment suitability. People with severe sagging of the skin, deep wrinkles or large volume loss may not get sufficient results from non-surgical methods, and in these cases, surgical options may be more appropriate. Additionally, some health problems or allergic reactions may limit the application of certain treatment methods.
What are Non-Surgical Face Lift Methods?
Non-surgical facelift involves various techniques that tighten and rejuvenate the skin without requiring surgical intervention. Ultherapy is a technique that stands out among non-surgical face lift methods. This method uses ultrasound energy to act on the deep layers of the skin and stimulate collagen production. As a result, the skin becomes firmer and more youthful over time. Ultherapy is especially effective on the eyebrows, jawline and neck area. Radio frequency (RF) therapy is also among the non-surgical face lift methods. Radio frequency energy increases the production of collagen and elastin under the skin, tightening the skin. This method reduces the appearance of wrinkles and helps the skin become smoother. Carboxytherapy is a treatment performed by injecting carbon dioxide gas under the skin. This method increases blood flow to the skin and encourages cell regeneration. As a result, the skin becomes more vibrant and smooth. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to add volume to certain areas of the skin and fill wrinkles. Injecting hyaluronic acid under the skin provides immediate results and can be especially effective in sunken areas of the face.

Carboxytherapy and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) applications generally last between 45 minutes and 1 hour. Hyaluronic acid fillers may vary depending on the treatment and are usually completed within 30-60 minutes. The treatment process can be customized according to the application area and skin condition, so our patients can quickly achieve the most effective results.
How Permanent Is Non-Surgical Face Lift?
The permanence of non-surgical facelift treatment varies depending on the methods used and individual skin characteristics. We offer our patients treatment options that will provide the most appropriate and long-lasting results.

The effect of PRP treatment generally lasts for 6-9 months. To increase permanence, it is important to follow the treatment process regularly and renew it at necessary intervals. For long-term effects, paying attention to post-treatment skin care and planning regular sessions can increase permanence.

Who is Not Suitable for Non-Surgical Face Lift Treatment?
While non-surgical facelift treatment offers an effective rejuvenation option for many people, there are some situations where this treatment is not suitable. Dr. As Esra Nur Ünal, I would like to prioritize safety in the treatment process and point out that some groups may not benefit from these methods. First of all, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid these treatment methods due to hormonal changes and skin sensitivities. People with skin infections, open wounds or active dermatological problems are also not suitable for treatment; Such situations can negatively affect the healing process and compromise treatment results.
Individuals with bleeding disorders or immune system-related health problems should also avoid non-surgical facelift treatment. These health conditions can increase the risk of complications during treatment and complicate the recovery process. Additionally, non-surgical methods may not be sufficient for people with severe sagging or deep wrinkles on their faces. In such cases, surgical intervention is required. Each individual's skin characteristics and health status should be evaluated individually; Therefore, a comprehensive examination should be performed before treatment and the most appropriate treatment plan should be determined. In our clinic, we offer the most appropriate methods to ensure you achieve the best results according to your personal needs and health condition.
