The non-surgical facelift — also known as the liquid facelift — is one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments in London. By combining carefully selected injectable treatments, an experienced practitioner can restore lost volume, lift sagging skin, define facial contours, and smooth wrinkles — achieving results that were once only possible through surgery, but without the risks, cost, or recovery time.
At The London Aesthetic Clinic, we specialise in bespoke non-surgical facial rejuvenation programmes. Every treatment plan is individually designed to address your specific concerns and deliver natural, harmonious results that enhance rather than alter your appearance.
What Is a Non-Surgical Facelift?
A non-surgical facelift is not a single treatment — it is a strategic combination of injectable procedures, tailored to each patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals. The term "liquid facelift" refers to the use of dermal fillers to restore facial volume and structure, often combined with anti-wrinkle injections to relax overactive muscles, and skin quality treatments such as Profhilo or skin boosters to improve texture and hydration.
The result is a comprehensive facial rejuvenation that addresses multiple signs of ageing simultaneously — without a single incision.
What Does a Non-Surgical Facelift Include?
A typical non-surgical facelift at our London Aesthetic Clinic may include a combination of the following treatments:
| Treatment | Purpose | Areas Treated |
|---|---|---|
| Dermal Fillers | Restore volume, lift, and define contours | Cheeks, temples, jawline, chin, tear troughs |
| Anti-Wrinkle Injections | Relax muscles, smooth lines, lift brow | Forehead, glabella, crow's feet, brow |
| Profhilo | Improve skin quality, firmness, and hydration | Face, neck, décolletage |
| Skin Boosters | Deep hydration and skin texture improvement | Face, neck, hands |
| Lip Fillers | Restore lip volume and definition | Upper and lower lips, Cupid's bow |
Non-Surgical Facelift vs Surgical Facelift
Many patients considering a facelift are drawn to the non-surgical option because of the significantly lower risk profile, no general anaesthesia, no scarring, and no extended recovery period. However, it is important to understand the differences:
- Surgical facelift: Addresses significant skin laxity and deeper structural changes. Results are more dramatic and longer-lasting (5–10 years), but carry surgical risks and require weeks of recovery.
- Non-surgical facelift: Best for mild to moderate signs of ageing — volume loss, early skin laxity, and contour changes. Results are natural-looking, require no downtime, and can be maintained with regular treatments. Not suitable for significant skin excess.
For many patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, a non-surgical approach at a reputable London Aesthetic Clinic can deliver remarkable rejuvenation without the need for surgery.
How Long Does a Non-Surgical Facelift Last?
The longevity of a non-surgical facelift depends on the specific treatments used and the individual patient's metabolism and lifestyle. As a general guide:
- Dermal fillers in the cheeks and jawline: 12–18 months
- Anti-wrinkle injections: 3–4 months
- Profhilo: 6–9 months (two initial sessions recommended)
- Skin boosters: 6–9 months
With a maintenance programme, the results of a non-surgical facelift can be sustained long-term, with many patients finding that they require less product over time as collagen stimulation accumulates.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The ideal candidate for a non-surgical facelift is someone who is experiencing mild to moderate signs of facial ageing, including volume loss in the cheeks and temples, early jowling, loss of jawline definition, deep nasolabial folds, and overall skin dullness or laxity. Patients should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about what non-surgical treatments can achieve.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a non-surgical facelift cost in London?
The cost of a non-surgical facelift in London varies depending on the number of treatments included and the amount of product used. A comprehensive liquid facelift combining fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, and Profhilo typically costs between £1,500 and £3,500. Individual treatments can be staged over multiple appointments to spread the cost.
Is a non-surgical facelift painful?
Most patients find the treatments very tolerable. Topical anaesthetic cream is applied before filler injections, and anti-wrinkle injections feel like a small pinch. Profhilo and skin boosters are also well-tolerated.
How many sessions do I need?
For a comprehensive non-surgical facelift, we typically recommend starting with a consultation to assess your concerns, followed by a staged treatment plan. Some patients achieve their goals in one or two sessions, while others prefer a gradual approach over several appointments.
Can a non-surgical facelift be reversed?
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase if needed. Anti-wrinkle injections wear off naturally over 3–4 months. Profhilo and skin boosters cannot be reversed but are naturally metabolised over time.
