Quick answer

What is non-surgical lifting?

Non-surgical lifting tightens and repositions sagging facial tissue without incisions. Focused ultrasound (such as Ultherapy) lifts the deep SMAS layer, radiofrequency tightens the dermis, and dissolvable threads physically reposition tissue. The result is a firmer jawline and mid-face with little downtime. Energy-based results build over 2–3 months; thread lifts show an immediate change.

Most faces benefit from a combination. Your doctor assesses skin thickness, fat and laxity and then chooses the layers to treat. The photos on this page are real MIN Clinic patients, shown with consent.

FAQ

Non-surgical lifting questions we hear most

Can’t find your answer? Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp.

Which lifting treatment is best for me?

It depends on which layer is sagging. Ultherapy targets the deep SMAS, RF tightens the skin and threads reposition tissue. Your doctor will recommend one or a combination at consultation.

How long do lifting results last?

Energy-based lifts typically last about 12–18 months; thread lifts often about a year or more. Collagen naturally declines, so maintenance is usual.

Is there downtime?

Ultherapy and RF usually have none. Thread lifts may cause swelling or tenderness for a few days.

Are there risks?

Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising are common. Rare risks include nerve irritation or thread visibility, which is why treatment is physician-led.

Can I have lifting during a short trip?

Yes. Energy-based lifting has no downtime. For thread lifts, allow a few days before flying and plan a check-up.
