Turn Back the Clock Without Surgery: Your Guide to a Nonsurgical Facelift

In the past, achieving a more youthful, refined facial contour required an invasive facelift. But today, advanced cosmetic procedures deliver dramatic results without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended downtime.

At Cascade MedSpa and Laser Centre, our team can help you turn back the clock on your appearance. We offer a comprehensive suite of noninvasive anti-aging treatments that provide natural, long-lasting rejuvenation. 

Don’t let wrinkles, lines, and laxity keep you from feeling confident and vibrant this year. Here’s everything you need to know about a nonsurgical facelift.

What is a nonsurgical facelift?

The term “nonsurgical facelift” refers to a procedure or combination of procedures that firm, lift, and smooth the surface of the skin without surgery. Depending on your skin type and specific concerns, we may recommend one or more of the following treatment methods:

EmFace® by BTL Esthetics for deep lifting and muscle tone

The BTL EmFace® treatment combines radiofrequency (RF) and electromagnetic energy to stimulate facial muscles, restoring definition and creating a visible lifting effect. There’s no pain, downtime, or disruption to the skin’s surface — think of it as a high-intensity workout for your face.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling for structural tightening

Microneedling uses ultrafine needles to create microchannels in the skin, which stimulate collagen and elastin production as your body repairs the minor wounds. It’s an effective treatment on its own, but our advanced Exion™ procedure adds RF energy to provide even deeper stimulation and more noticeable, longer-lasting tightening.

Laser resurfacing for a smooth, even texture

To correct texture and tone, we use specialized lasers such as Halo®, ProFractional®, and MicroLaserPeel®. These resurfacing procedures remove the damaged outer layers of skin to reveal a smoother, more youthful complexion and promote ongoing collagen production for firmness and lift.

Light-based treatments to correct tone and clarity

Treatments like intense pulsed light (IPL) and broadband light (BBL) target specific pigment cells in the dermis. When the light energy hits these cells, it converts into heat, stimulating cell turnover and fading unwanted dark spots to provide a clear, even tone and lasting firmness.

What to expect from your treatment experience

We begin with an in-depth consultation, during which we assess your skin and discuss your specific treatment goals. This helps us determine the appropriate procedure(s) to deliver maximum lift, tightening, and surface renewal while safely avoiding adverse effects, such as postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Whichever option you choose, your comfort is our top priority. For treatments such as microneedling and laser resurfacing, we apply a topical numbing cream or use ice to minimize discomfort during the procedure. 

While you may experience some temporary redness or swelling immediately following your “facelift”, this typically clears up within a week. Full results will appear gradually over the next few weeks and months as your body begins producing new collagen and elastin.

To achieve optimal, long-lasting rejuvenation, we typically recommend a series of initial sessions, followed by yearly or twice-yearly maintenance treatments.
