Non-Surgical Facelift
Often when people start to notice signs of aging in their face such as skin laxity and the development of jowls, a simple non-surgical facelift can be the answer to help restore the youthful appearance they once had.
This is great news for patients looking to achieve a rejuvenated, fresh appearance but who are not yet ready for a full facial plastic surgery procedure.
Undergoing non-surgical treatments will contour the face, tighten the skin, and smooth out the appearance of wrinkles, creases, or lines. Because of the non-invasive techniques, most of these treatments are known for producing immediate results without the recovery time normally associated with the traditional facelift.
The term “non-surgical facelift” can be a confusing one because different cosmetic practices will define it differently. In truth, the term “non-invasive facelift” can actually refer to a number of procedures.
About Non-Surgical Facelift
The non-surgical facelift options that Dr. Torgerson offers at his Toronto Facial Cosmetic Clinic are:
Liquid Facelift – This involves the use of injectable dermal fillers, which help to restore volume and fill out hollow features, plump lips, and reduce wrinkles. The results are instantly gratifying and will last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the injectable filler you choose.
Ulthera Facelift – Ultherapy uses ultrasound to penetrate deep below the skin’s surface and stimulate collagen, causing the skin to tighten for a more youthful appearance. The initial results can be seen immediately, with full results coming out in approximately 3 months.
C02 Laser resurfacing can also improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkle and offer some tightening benefits as well.
Will a Non-surgical Facelift Improve my Appearance?
A non-surgical facelift is an excellent way to achieve a tighter, smoother look to your face, while also improving the quality of your skin without surgery.
It is important to remember, however, what these types of non surgical treatments can and cannot do. While the results of most of these cosmetic procedures are immediate, they are not long lasting, and patients with more severe sagging skin or wrinkles may benefit more from a traditional facelift. During your consultation, Dr. Torgerson will be able to review the best and most suitable options for you to achieve the best results.

The Non-Surgical Facelift Consultation
If you are considering any type of non-surgical procedure, you should schedule a consultation with Dr. Torgerson at his Toronto clinic so that he can determine which procedure or which combination of procedures is likely to give you the best facelift results.
He will examine your face and discuss the goals you would like to achieve through the cosmetic procedure. This will give him a good idea of which non-surgical treatment would be a good fit for you.
It is important to be upfront with him about your medical history as well as about any prescriptions or over-the-counter medications or supplements that you may be taking.
While most healthy adults will be good candidates for a non-surgical facelift, it is still important to be completely honest during the consultation. Dr. Torgerson will be able to give you a good idea of what to expect during the procedure and answer any questions which you may have. With dermal fillers and Ultherapy, should a patient decide to proceed at the initial consultation, the treatment can be provided on the same day.
Who Can Benefit from a Non-Surgical Facelift?
Dr. Torgerson understands that many people would like tighter and more youthful-looking skin, but not all are willing or ready to undergo a surgical procedure. If you are worried about the effects of surgery of a traditional facelift, non surgical facelift options such as Ultherapy or Dermal Filler could be an excellent option for you.
Some benefits of a non-surgical facelift include reduced risk, lower cost, little to no downtime, and the fact that it is a cosmetic procedure that can be done easily and quickly compared to plastic surgery.
What Can I Expect During the Non-Invasive Facelift?
Depending on the treatment or combination of treatments selected, the procedure may take place in a single session or in multiple sessions over the course of a few weeks.
For a procedure such as injectable dermal fillers, you may experience a bit of mild discomfort, but generally not pain.
Depending on the type of non-surgical facelift treatment selected, Dr. Torgerson will discuss with you in more detail what to expect and how to prepare.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Because a non-surgical facelift involves minimally invasive techniques, there is usually minimal to no recovery time necessary for most non-surgical procedures, and you will be set to enjoy your tighter, smoother face in much less time than a traditional facelift.
