Have you recently been doing double takes on your own photos? You’re not alone. As we grow older, our collagen diminishes and gravity + repeated expressions take their toll. You may be considering showing your skin some extra care and giving it the tools to combat premature signs of aging.
Change is normal. So is taking better care of your skin.
As these signs of aging start to appear, there are various non-surgical options to give your skin tools to be healthy, experience rejuvenation, and defy gravity.
Thanks to advancements in non-surgical cosmetic procedures, achieving a youthful and revitalized appearance is now more accessible than ever before. Explore how laser skin resurfacing and radiofrequency skin tightening can work together to provide a non-surgical facelift, and find the perfect solution for where your skin is at.
Non-Surgical Facelifts Based on Your Skin Age:
Non-Surgical Facelift for Early Signs of Aging
If you’ve started noticing the initial signs of aging, such as fine lines, enlarged pores, and skin laxity under your eyes and around your mouth, a combination of face and eye TempSure RF skin tightening + Picosure laser resurfacing will work wonders. For early signs of aging, we recommend starting with 3 treatments that combine RF and laser (about one a month).
1- TempSure RF utilizes radiofrequency technology to gently heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening skin for a refreshed surface. Your skin becomes denser, diminishing dark circles while undereye bags are significantly tightened and smoothed.
How it works:
Firmness: This innovative treatment utilizes targeted heat through multiple layers of your skin to activate your body’s natural collagen-generating ability. The newly formed collagen fibres are tight, dense, and have a rejuvenated and firmer structure at the cellular level, leading to tightened skin.

2 – Picosure laser resurfacing targets uneven skin texture, pigmentation irregularities, and fine lines, revealing smoother and more youthful-looking skin. It addresses old acne scars and sun spots while diminishing the appearance of pores for a smoother canvas. You may even start skipping foundation use after seeing your results!
How it works:
Texture & Tone: Through the innovative PicoSure technology, laser energy is transformed into gentle pressure waves. These waves vibrate rapidly, effectively breaking down the melanin present in pigmentation spots into minuscule particles to clear away blemishes. These particles are naturally absorbed and eliminated by the lymphatic system. This process also stimulates the targeted skin cells, triggering the synthesis of collagen and elastin to rejuvenate your skin’s surface. The result is a complexion that is not only smoother but also radiantly healthy and dewy.

If you would like to experience a non-laser alternative for improving texture and tone, a microneedling treatment can also be combined with a TempSure RF treatment and provide skin resurfacing benefits by stimulating collagen production, improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, and promoting overall skin rejuvenation.
What can I add to my routine to support my non-surgical facelift?
Facials
Receiving a monthly facial and utilizing pharmaceutical-grade skincare products greatly support the rejuvenating work of RF and laser treatments. Getting a facial after each natural cycle of your skin cells (a cycle lasts about a month) helps maintain skin health by providing deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration. This helps proper absorption of moisturizing skincare and slows down the inevitable loss of your skin barrier function, another contributor to wrinkle formation.
Skincare Products
Adding pharmaceutical-grade skincare products to your daily routine that are formulated with high-quality, active ingredients, further enhances the benefits of RF and laser treatments. They support collagen production, boost moisture, reduce inflammation, and accelerate skin healing, leading to improved skin rejuvenation and long-lasting results.
Non-Surgical Facelift for Moderate Signs of Aging
When moderate signs of aging become more prominent, our comprehensive treatment approach lifts and smoothes your face and facial contour.
1 – The ThreeForMe procedure combines Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial and fractional laser treatments to stimulate skin cell turnover. The IPL Photofacial addresses skin discoloration, sun damage, age spots, and broken capillaries, while the fractional laser treatment targets wrinkles, scars, and skin texture irregularities.
How it works:
Tone: First, an IPL photofacial emits broad-spectrum light pulses that target melanin and hemoglobin in the skin. This process helps reduce skin discoloration, diminishes the appearance of sun damage, clears blemishes, and addresses redness, resulting in a more even skin tone and a rejuvenated complexion. Depending on your unique skin, your laser technician may recommend performing this step with a PicoSure Pigmentation laser.
Texture: Next, fractional laser works by delivering precise microbeams of laser energy to the skin, creating microscopic treatment zones. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production, and leading to improved skin texture and a reduction in wrinkles.
2 – TempSure RF for the full face and neck addresses skin tightening and firmness under your jawline as well as on your face and neck to sculpt and tone. How it works:
Firmness: This cutting-edge radiofrequency procedure harnesses the power of focused heat, penetrating multiple layers of your skin, to trigger your body’s natural capacity to generate collagen. The resulting collagen fibres are firm, robust, and infused with a renewed vitality at the cellular level. As a result, the skin regains tightness, and your facial contour, including the area along the lower jawline and below the cheeks are visibly sculpted, creating a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
For moderate signs of aging, we recommend starting with 5 combined treatments (ThreeForMe + TempSure RF) about once a month. Think of it as your monthly skin gym!
What can I add to my routine to support my non-surgical facelift?
Facials
Receiving a monthly facial and incorporating pharmaceutical-grade skincare products into your daily routine significantly complement the rejuvenating effects of non-surgical facelift treatments for moderate and advanced signs of aging.
Regular facials, aligned with the natural skin cell cycle, provide deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, promoting proper absorption of moisturizing skincare and helping preserve the skin’s barrier function to minimize wrinkle formation.

Addressing More Advanced Signs of Aging
For the next stage of your beautiful skin’s journey, which includes more advanced signs of aging, begin with the above treatments recommended for moderate signs of aging to stimulate cell turnover, and add on intense hydrating/moisturizing treatments for the crucial moisture preservation your skin particularly needs in this stage.
How does moisture loss and decreased cell turnover contribute to signs of aging?
As we age, the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture decreases and slowing cell turnover impairs the skin’s ability to renew itself. The production of natural oils and humectants, which help lock in moisture, diminishes over time, impairing your skin’s natural barrier function, and leading to increased formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and a dull complexion.
Treatments that stimulate cell turnover and skincare products that push in moisture are necessary for collagen production and maintaining skin elasticity, all of which play crucial roles in maintaining a healthy, rejuvenated appearance.
How can I boost skin cell turnover and push in moisture?
Combining targetted, hydrating facials with energy-based treatments such as laser synergistically promotes both rejuvenation and proper hydration of the skin. Hydrating facials focus on increasing and maintaining the water content in your skin and nourishing it, while laser and radiofrequency stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone. Moisturizing skincare focuses on sealing and trapping moisture within the skin, creating a protective barrier to prevent water loss.
Treatments for mature skin to enhance non-surgical facelifts:
Meso Advanced Anti-Aging: This needle-free mesotherapy facial offers a powerful and hydrating boost. This innovative procedure delivers a potent combination of skin-nourishing ingredients, vitamins, and antioxidants directly into the deeper layers of the skin, promoting hydration, firmness, and overall skin revitalization.
How it works:
Needle-free mesotherapy uses a technique that delivers active ingredients into the skin without the use of traditional needles. Meso facials allow potent ingredients to penetrate and target specific areas effectively by enabling the uptake of molecules that would not typically be able to pass through the epidermis (top layer of skin) in a classic facial.
OxyGlam Superfacial: This treatment combines exfoliation, infusion, and oxygenation to rejuvenate the skin. It helps lock in moisture through its hydrating and nourishing effects, improving moisture retention in mature skin, and leaving it plump, hydrated, and rejuvenated. In addition to being a great choice for your monthly facial, OxyGlam is a guest favourite to get before a special event for the dewy glow it gives.
How it works:
The treatment gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells and allowing better absorption of moisturizing products. The infusion step delivers active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, into the skin, providing deep hydration and helping to lock in moisture. Next, the oxygenation process promotes increased circulation, which enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture and improve overall hydration levels.
Ask your skin technician to give you personalized, daily routine recommendations after your consultation for high-quality, active ingredient-based pharmaceutical-grade skincare products.
Can I combine my non-surgical facelift with Botox and fillers?
Yes. Generally speaking, laser and RF skin rejuvenation and injectable treatments like Botox and fillers can be combined effectively for enhanced skin rejuvenation.
While Botox and fillers primarily target specific, dynamic wrinkles and volume loss by relaxing muscles and adding volume, energy-based treatments, such as RF and laser resurfacing, work differently to address skin concerns. They stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and target issues like pigmentation, uneven tone, skin laxity, dark circles, and overall fine lines and wrinkles.
Our expert laser technicians have in-depth knowledge about non-surgical facelifts for skin that also receives injectable treatments.
We recommend that you receive your TempSure RF and photofacial and/or laser skin resurfacing before your next injectables appointment. If you have recently received an injectable treatment, we recommend that you wait 4 weeks before your energy-based treatment.
