What Does a Facial Lifting Procedure Involve and What Types Are Available?

As we age, the structure of our skin gradually changes — it loses firmness and begins to sag. Facial lifting refers to a range of cosmetic procedures designed to tighten the skin and improve its tone and elasticity. These treatments target both the skin and the underlying connective tissue, helping to restore smoothness, definition, and a more youthful appearance.

The appropriate lifting technique should be selected based on the individual’s age, skin type, current skin condition, and the specific area of concern. Tailored treatment plans are essential to achieving optimal results.

In this blog, we present 6 types of non-surgical facial lifting procedures:

1. KRF (Radiofrequency) Lifting

KRF lifting is a non-invasive radiofrequency procedure targeting loose, sagging skin prone to wrinkles. It can be performed on the face, neck, décolleté, periorbital area (around the eyes), and nasolabial folds.

The treatment works by delivering thermal energy deep into the skin layers, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. As a result, the skin becomes firmer, tighter, and more elastic.
Recommended for Individuals aged 30+, when the skin begins to lose tone but deeper wrinkles have not yet formed.

2. Sculptra® Collagen Stimulating Treatmen

Sculptra® promotes the body’s natural collagen production by up to 66.7%, leading to gradual skin firming, improved elasticity, and restoration of facial volume and contours. This injectable biostimulator is ideal for addressing sagging cheeks, loss of volume, and deeper wrinkles. Results begin to appear within a few weeks and can last 2–3 years.
Recommended for Individuals aged 35–65, when visible signs of aging have started to appear.

3. Needle-Free Biostimulation

This innovative, non-invasive method stimulates the skin using advanced technology that enables active ingredients to penetrate deeply into the skin cells without injections. It supports skin regeneration, enhances hydration, and increases elasticity.

Recommended for Ages 25–45, either as a preventive treatment or to restore skin hydration and vitality.

4. Needle-Free Mesotherapy

Similar to biostimulation, needle-free mesotherapy delivers essential vitamins and hyaluronic acid into the deeper layers of the skin without needles. Using the DermoRegen device, active serums and medications are transdermally infused for intensive hydration and improved skin tone and radiance.

Ideal for younger skin, typically ages 20–40, for prevention and maintenance

5. LPG Endermologie® (Face)

LPG Endermolift is a patented facial treatment using mechanical vacuum-assisted rollers to stimulate microcirculation and boost collagen synthesis. It reduces puffiness, enhances facial contours, and improves skin firmness.

Recommended for all age groups, both for anti-aging purposes and as a preventive measure, particularly effective for individuals aged 30–55.

6. Facial Massage

A professional facial massage enhances blood circulation, reduces fatigue and puffiness, and promotes muscle tone. When performed regularly, it helps prolong the results of other aesthetic treatments and contributes to a healthy glow.

Suitable for all ages, either as an entry-level skincare routine or as a complementary procedure.

All of these facial lifting treatments aim to minimize visible signs of aging while preserving natural facial features and expressions. The goal is not to alter your appearance but to refresh and rejuvenate your skin in the most natural way possible.
