Face lifting:
TOP 5 methods of non-surgical face lifting
With age, many people find that their skin becomes saggy and puffy, and wrinkles become more noticeable. Outwardly, this manifests itself in a tired appearance, the appearance of nasolabial folds, drooping eyebrows and eyelids, and the appearance of a double chin, i.e. visual signs of ageing.
This occurs due to age-related changes in the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) layer. Over time, this layer loses its elasticity and stretches, resulting in sagging facial skin. In addition, with age, the collagen fibres of the skin delaminate and become unable to keep the skin toned.
On the one hand, cosmetic products (such as masks and creams) do not have the desired effect and do not help to tighten the skin of the face, and on the other hand, you do not want to go under the surgeon's knife because of the risk of irreversible consequences. In this case, it is worth considering a non-surgical facelift, which has a number of advantages:
- is clearly more effective than cosmetic products;
- non-surgical lifting techniques are completely bloodless and safe;
- they are relatively comfortable and do not take much time;
- Non-surgical facelifts are characterised by a short or non-existent recovery period. After a non-surgical facelift, there is no recovery period as such.
There are many different methods of non-surgical facelifts. We will introduce you to those that, in our opinion, deserve attention first and foremost:
- endolift;
- ultrasonic SMAS lifting;
- microneedle RF lifting;
- contour face lift;
- thread lifting.
Although these techniques are non-surgical, there are still certain differences between them.
1 Endolift
Endolift is a laser method of facial rejuvenation that affects different layers of the dermis, providing a long-lasting and pronounced effect. This is due to the stimulation of the synthesis of the body's own collagen. In addition to skin tightening, Endolift eliminates double chin, adds clarity to the oval and reduces the volume of adipose tissue. The Endolift procedure is suitable for those who want to get the most effective facelift but do not want to undergo surgery.
Advantages of non-surgical facial lifting using laser technology:
- no incisions, stitches or lengthy rehabilitation;
- safety of the procedure;
- immediate rejuvenation results and gradual improvement, as natural collagen production is stimulated
- compatibility with other cosmetic procedures;
- one session is sufficient;
- affordability compared to plastic surgery.
At Esteva Clinic aesthetic medicine clinic, Endolift is performed using the original Endolift device (manufactured by Eufoton S.R.L, Italy).
This is certified equipment that guarantees the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
Endolift is performed under local anaesthesia, so it is comfortable. The procedure lasts about 2 hours. After it is completed, the doctor will provide recommendations for a comfortable recovery.
The average cost of the procedure is 30-40 thousand UAH (depending on the area of influence)

2 Ultrasonic SMAS lifting
Ultrasonic SMAS lifting affects the muscles and ligaments of the subcutaneous fat pads and promotes the formation of new collagen. This, in turn, increases tissue elasticity, helps to reduce volume in the lower part of the face, allowing you to achieve a clear oval shape and thus tighten the skin.
The SMAS lifting procedure, as an effective rejuvenation procedure, is suitable for almost all patients and is characterised by a combination of minimal intervention and high efficiency.
According to clinical studies, ultrasonic SMAS lifting is the most effective method of non-surgical facelift. This technique is very popular among global celebrities. For example, it is performed by the eternally young actresses from the series ‘Friends’ Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston.
The main advantages of SMAS lifting include:
- maximum effective non-surgical lifting;
- the procedure eliminates double chin and allows you to create a more defined facial contour;
- SMAS lifting allows you to lift your eyebrows, making your eyes look more open;
- makes the skin more elastic;
- can be used for both the face and body;
- The procedure is not very painful, but for particularly sensitive patients, anaesthesia in the form of a cream can be used;
- The recovery period after the sessions lasts only a few hours.
SMAS lifting is a one-time procedure, and the effect is noticeable for 1-3 years.
The average cost of the procedure is 14-20 thousand UAH (depending on the area of influence)
Among the disadvantages of the procedure is that the results of ultrasonic SMAS lifting may not be satisfactory for vegans with long-term experience.
In addition, the cost of the procedure is quite high compared to other non-surgical lifting methods.

3 Micro-needle RF lifting
Microneedle RF lifting is a modern cosmetic procedure that combines radiofrequency exposure and micro-punctures. The principle of microneedle RF lifting is that radio waves are transmitted through disposable needles into the skin, creating vertical columns.
Subsequently, the skin around these columns contracts, providing a lifting effect:
- controlled tissue compaction;
- collagen fibre contraction;
- activation of natural collagen synthesis.
As a result, the skin becomes more elastic and toned, and the contours of the face become more defined. The method is particularly effective for gravitational ptosis, as it affects the deep tissues responsible for maintaining the oval shape of the face.
It should be noted that fractional RF lifting differs from the similar fractional laser in that it can be used on all skin types, including tanned skin.
The technique is suitable for patients aged 25 and older with skin defects such as sagging skin or post-acne. In addition to wrinkles, the method copes well with scars, improves the structure and overall condition of the skin.
The advantages of fractional RF lifting include:
- has a beneficial effect on skin texture defects, including not only wrinkles, but also scars
- significantly improves skin quality and structure, has the ability to tighten facial skin, making it less flaccid
- has a long-lasting effect that lasts for over a year
Among the disadvantages of the technique are a certain degree of painfulness of the procedure (cream anaesthesia is required) and a somewhat lengthy recovery period (slight redness and swelling of the skin for several days).
The course of procedures consists of 3-4 sessions with an interval of 2-3 weeks.
The average cost of such a course is 13-17 thousand UAH.

4 Radiesse contouring
Contour facelift is also called ‘contour plastic surgery’, ‘filler facelift’ and ‘vector lifting’.
Since the ageing process is accompanied by a loss of volume in the face, this deficiency must be compensated for. Fillers are used for this purpose. As a result, in addition to filling in the missing volume, there is also a lifting effect on the skin of the face, including thanks to the strengthening of the anatomical structures of the face, which provides a natural result and a fresher appearance.
In addition to the lifting effect, contouring brilliantly copes with the following tasks:
- make facial features more harmonious;
- enlarge cheekbones;
- correct the oval of the face;
- enlarge lips;
- eliminate the nasolabial fold.
To achieve the desired effect, 1-2 sessions are required. The results of the procedure are noticeable for 12-18 months, and the cost is calculated individually, depending on the volume of the preparation (on average, 9-19 thousand UAH).
It should be noted that injectable facelifts with fillers give excellent results when combined with SMAS lifting.
According to the clinic's specialists, it is the combination of ultrasonic SMAS lifting and filler injections that gives the most visible effect among non-surgical rejuvenation methods
5 Thread lifting
Thread lifting provides an instant facelift effect — without surgery and in just one session. It involves inserting thin absorbable threads into the subcutaneous tissue to form a supporting framework for the face.
They fix the layers of the dermis in the correct position, providing an instant rejuvenating effect.
Thread lift results:
- clear oval face;
- reduction of jowls;
- smoothing of nasolabial folds and marionette lines;
- lifting of the corners of the lips and eyebrows.
- The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. The duration of the procedure is 1-2 hours. The patient is discharged on the same day.
Thread lifting is a good solution for people aged 35-55, when visible age-related changes have already appeared, but it is still possible to eliminate them without radical intervention.
The method is ideal for the lower third of the face, chin and neck, chin area and area around the eyes.
After the threads are inserted, active collagen synthesis begins around them, so over time the effect not only persists but also intensifies. The result is noticeable immediately and can last up to 3 months, depending on the type of threads and individual characteristics.
The average cost of the procedure is 11-20 thousand UAH.

Face lifting: top 3 methods of non-surgical facelift
With age, many people experience that their skin becomes loose and swollen, and wrinkles become more noticeable. Outwardly, this is manifested by a tired appearance, the appearance of nasolabial folds, drooping eyebrows and eyelids, the appearance of a double chin, that is, visual signs of aging.
This occurs due to age-related changes in the muscular-aponeurotic layer SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System). Over time, this layer loses its elasticity and stretches, resulting in sagging facial skin. In addition, with age, the collagen fibers of the skin become exfoliated and become unable to keep the skin toned.
On the one hand, cosmetic products (for example, masks and creams) do not have the desired effect and do not help tighten the skin of the face, and on the other hand, you do not want to go under the surgeon’s knife due to the risk of irreversible consequences.
In this case, it is worth considering a non-surgical facelift, which has a number of advantages:
◼ is definitely more effective than cosmetic products;
◼ non-surgical lifting techniques are completely bloodless and safe;
◼ they are relatively comfortable and do not take much time;
◼ non-surgical lifting is characterized by a short-term or completely absent rehabilitation period. After non-surgical lifting there is no recovery period as such.
Facelift without surgery – the best methods
There are many different lifting techniques without surgery. We will introduce you to those that, in our opinion, deserve attention first:
◼ ultrasonic SMAS lifting;
◼ contour facelift;
◼ fractional RF lifting (micro-needling).
Despite the fact that all these methods are non-surgical, they still have certain differences.
Ultrasonic SMAS lifting
Ultrasonic SMAS lifting affects muscles, ligaments, subcutaneous fat packets, and also promotes the formation of new collagen. This, in turn, increases tissue elasticity, helps reduce volume in the lower part of the face, which allows you to achieve a clear oval and thus tightens the skin.
Based on data from clinical studies, ultrasonic SMAS lifting is the most effective method of non-surgical lifting. This technique is very popular among world celebrities. For example, it is performed by the eternally young actresses from the TV series “Friends” Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston.
The SMAS lifting procedure is suitable for those who want to get the most effective lifting, but do not want to undergo surgery.
The main advantages of SMAS lifting include:
◼ this is the most effective non-surgical lifting;
◼ the procedure eliminates the double chin and allows you to create a clearer oval of the face;
◼ SMAS lifting allows you to achieve eyebrow lifting, which makes your look more open;
◼ makes the skin more elastic;
◼ the technique can be used for both the face and body;
◼ the procedure is slightly painful, while for particularly sensitive patients it is possible to use anesthesia with a cream;
◼ the rehabilitation period after the sessions lasts only a couple of hours.
SMAS lifting is a one-time procedure, and its effect is noticeable for 1-3 years. The average cost of the procedure is 14-17 thousand UAH.
Among the disadvantages of the procedure, one can point out that the result of using ultrasonic SMAS lifting may not be sufficiently satisfactory for long-term vegans. In addition, the cost of the procedure is quite high compared to other non-surgical lifting methods.
You can find out more about the procedure in our article “” or in the video below.
Contour facelift
Contour facelift is also called “contour plastic”, “filler lift” and “vector lifting”.
Since the aging process is accompanied by a loss of volume in the face, the missing volume must be replenished. This is why fillers are used. As a result, in addition to replenishing the missing volume, there is also a tightening effect on the facial skin, including by strengthening the anatomical structures of the face, which provides a natural result and a more refreshed appearance.
In addition to the lifting effect, contour plastic brilliantly copes with the following tasks:
◼ make facial features more harmonious;
◼ increase cheekbones;
◼ correct the oval of the face;
◼ enlarge lips;
◼ eliminate the nasolacrimal groove.
To achieve the desired effect, 1-2 sessions are required. The results of the procedure are visible within 12-18 months, and the cost is calculated individually depending on the chosen drug (on average 6-12 thousand UAH).
It should be especially noted that injection facelift with fillers gives excellent results in combination with SMAS lifting. You can see this for yourself by looking at the before/after photographs taken at Esteva Clinic.
According to the clinic’s specialists, it is the combination of ultrasonic SMAS lifting and filler injections gives the most visible effect among non-surgical rejuvenation methods.
You can learn more about how fillers work in the article “Contour plastic surgery” or by watching our short video.
Fractional RF lifting (micro-needling)
The operating principle of fractional RF lifting is that radio waves are transmitted through disposable ones into the skin, which create vertical columns. Subsequently, the skin flap is reduced around these columns, which provides the lifting effect.
It should be noted that fractional RF lifting differs from the fractional laser, which is similar in effect, in that its use is possible on all skin types, including tanned.
The technique is suitable for patients over the age of 25 with skin defects, such as sagging skin or post-acne. In addition to wrinkles, the method copes well with scars, improves the structure and general condition of the skin.
The advantages of fractional RF lifting include:
◼ good effect on raised skin defects, including not only wrinkles, but also scars;
◼ significant improvement in the quality and structure of the skin,
◼ has the ability to tighten facial skin, making it less flabby;
◼ long-lasting effect that lasts for more than a year.
Among the disadvantages of the technique, one can indicate a certain painfulness of the procedure (anesthesia with cream is required) and a certain duration of the recovery period (slight redness and swelling of the skin for several days).
The course of procedures is 3-4 sessions with an interval of 2-3 weeks. The average cost of such a course is 11-15 thousand UAH.
In the article “Microneedling RF lifting” you can learn more about the procedure. You can also see how RF lifting is carried out in our video.
