Preparing for a HIFU non-surgical facelift treatment at LUMOS Clinic

What it is

A non-surgical facelift uses HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) to deliver energy to the SMAS layer — the deepest supportive layer of the face, and the same one a surgeon tightens during a surgical facelift. The ultrasound triggers a natural collagen response at that depth, lifting and firming the skin gradually over the weeks that follow.

Anne uses medical-grade technology from Lynton — the same systems trusted by NHS clinics across the UK. Each treatment is tailored to your face, targeting the specific areas where you want lifting and firming.

What it treats

  • Softening jawline and early jowls
  • Loose skin under the chin and neck
  • Drooping brows and heaviness above the eyes
  • Cheeks and midface that have lost their lift

What to expect

A session takes around 45–90 minutes depending on the areas treated. You’ll feel a brief warmth with each pulse — manageable without numbing. There’s no downtime; you can return to your day immediately.

Results build gradually over 8–12 weeks as new collagen lifts and firms the treated areas. The effect is natural — unmistakably your own face, just looking fresher and more defined. Results typically last around 12 months.

The evidence

The “non-surgical facelift” here is a combination protocol (HIFU + RF microneedling + polynucleotides), and each component carries its own evidence. A 2023 systematic review found microfocused ultrasound effective for mild-to-moderate facial laxity; a 2026 systematic review of 68 studies concluded radiofrequency microneedling is safe and effective across wrinkles, scarring and laxity; and early polynucleotide trials show skin-quality improvements. What the research is honest about: no non-surgical treatment replicates a surgical facelift — these protocols deliver meaningful but incremental tightening and skin-quality gains, and no single study has tested this exact combination — we assemble it from components with individual evidence.

Is it right for me?

A non-surgical facelift works best for mild to moderate laxity — the softening and sagging that comes naturally with ageing. If your skin is very loose, it may not be the right tool, and Anne will tell you that honestly at consultation rather than promise a result she can’t deliver. That honesty is the point.

Pricing

Non-surgical facelift treatment starts from £225 per area. The right plan — how many areas, how many sessions — depends on your skin and what you want to achieve. Anne will set out a clear, realistic plan at consultation.

Common questions

How is a non-surgical facelift different from surgery?

A non-surgical facelift reaches the same SMAS layer through the skin rather than through a surgical incision. Results are gradual over weeks rather than instant, but there is no downtime, scarring or surgical risk.

How long does it last?

Results typically last around 12 months. Annual top-up sessions maintain the lift, and many people find each treatment builds on the last.

Does it hurt?

Most people find it very manageable — a brief warmth with each pulse, no anaesthetic needed. Anne will make sure you’re comfortable throughout.
