Soft Lift: Non-Invasive Facelift – Strategy for
Looking Younger

Did you know that you can get an effective facelift without committing to cosmetic surgery? Non-invasive facelifts are a twofold, popular solution for facial rejuvenation—creating dramatic results in a shorter period.

For example, Soft Lift™, otherwise known as a mini facelift, is a new treatment that combines the benefits of Botox® Cosmetic and Juvéderm dermal filler to address multiple signs of aging. The goal is to treat all three areas of the face (upper, mid, and lower) to create an overall natural, refreshed appearance. The effect is balanced, subtle and entirely natural looking.

Areas of Concern:

Fine Lines ↗ Wrinkles ↗ Non-Surgical Facelift ↗ Cheek Volume Restoration ↗ Feature Enhancement ↗

How Soft Lift™ Restores a Youthful Appearance

As we age, our skin loses collagen and hyaluronic acid—two important anti-aging substances that naturally hydrate skin. When our skin loses these essential ingredients, we experience the three D’s of aging:

  • Deterioration (the development of fine lines, wrinkles and texture change)
  • Descent (drooping or sagging skin)
  • Deflation (loss of facial skin volume and fullness)

Defying the aging process is about more than just fine lines and wrinkles, as loose skin and lost volume also need to be addressed. Deep volume loss and deflation may also cause the face to lose definition, balance and change shape. For those who don’t want to undergo a surgical procedure, here’s how Soft Lift™ can help:

Juvéderm® Dermal Filler ↗

uses hyaluronic acid, a sugar that occurs naturally in the body, to smooth wrinkles and bring back lost fullness that can occur with aging in the cheeks, lips, and chin.

Botox® Cosmetic ↗

softens and relaxes lines, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines and frown lines between the brows.

Soft Lift™ Treats Facial Skin In Three Key Areas

  • Upper Face: Relaxes fine lines and wrinkles. Botox® Cosmetic specifically relaxes underlying facial muscles and smoothes out horizontal forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines) and crow’s feet.
  • Mid-Face: Restores volume to sunken skin. Juvéderm VOLUMA® XC restores deep volume loss in the cheeks, enhances cheekbones, and softens facial contours around the mid-face
  • Lower Face: Fill fine lines, wrinkles and thinning lips. Juvéderm® Ultra XC and Ultra Plus fills nasiolabial folds (smile lines), perioral lines (smoker’s lines), oral commissures (marionette lines), vermillion border (lip line border) and acne scarring. Targeted amounts of Juvéderm® are used to add volume to the lips and fill in lines around the mouth.

Soft Lift™ Vs. Traditional Facelifts

Unlike traditional options, Soft Lift™ is a non-surgical facelift. The non-invasive cosmetic procedure is performed without incisions, making it ideal for patients who want results without committing to facial plastic surgery. Many facial plastic surgery clinics offer this alternative because it provides natural-looking results with little downtime.

  • Soft Lift™: Utilizes Juvéderm® and Botox® injections to enhance and restore youthful facial tissues. Soft Lift™ is one of the best non-surgical facelifts for patients who want subtle, refreshed results and prefer minimal recovery time.
  • Surgical Facelift: Facial cosmetic surgeries performed by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for increased volume and skin tightening around the face and neck. Facelift surgery addresses significant sagging, deep wrinkles, and facial laxity in underlying tissues, offering dramatic and long-lasting results. On the downside, it’s more invasive nature requires general anesthesia and a longer recovery period. Common examples include SMAS facelifts and deep plane facelifts.

What to Expect from Your
Non-Surgical Facelift

Preparing the Area

After we assess your facial structures, a licensed medical professional will numb the ideal treatment area by gently freezing the skin or using a dermal filler that already contains local anesthesia. This preliminary step keeps you comfortable during the procedure and minimizes swelling.

Dermal Filler Injections

The doctor carefully injects the Juvéderm® dermal filler into the facial fat of treated areas, such as your cheeks, under eyes, lower and upper lips, or jawline. An ice pack is applied after each injection to further reduce swelling and bruising.

Botox® Treatment

Next, we precisely inject a tiny amount of Botox® into the deeper tissues that cause wrinkles. Most patients describe the feeling as similar to a quick bug bite, with no severe pain. The procedure only takes minutes, with no sedation or downtime, so you can return to your normal routine immediately.

Recovery & Aftercare

After your nonsurgical facelift, you may experience slight bruising at the injection site. However, this is temporary and can be easily covered up with makeup. Results start to appear quickly, improving skin elasticity and natural contours.

Maintenance Treatments

To maintain youthful facial features, we recommend regular maintenance sessions. We’ll help you schedule follow-up sessions based on your unique needs and treatment timeline.
