Preparing for Your First Non-Surgical Facelift: What to Expect

Did you know non-surgical facelifts were a thing? Yes! And everyone is loving the results!

Pre-Treatment Tips to Ensure the Best Results

One of the most significant ways to prepare for a non-surgical, non-invasive facelift is to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications. These could worsen bruising, turning your beautiful skin purple until the swelling goes down. Further, prepare with proper hydration: Drink plenty of water before the procedure and get at least 8 hours of sleep the night before.

What to Expect During the Procedure and Post-Treatment Care for Quicker Recovery

You can expect a quick, minimally uncomfortable procedure that allows you to return to everyday life within 24 to 48 hours. Non-surgical facelifts are non-invasive, but you may feel mild heat or tingling on your skin—nothing painful. Follow post-treatment care instructions to quicken recovery, then bask in your restored beauty.

Common Side Effects and How to Manage Them

Non-surgical facelifts have minor side effects, disappearing within 3 to 7 days. Ice packs and topical creams can soothe inflammation, but avoid excessively touching the area because it could worsen the redness and swelling.

Long-Term Care to Maintain Your Rejuvenated Look

• Drink a gallon of water daily. Hydration is crucial to maintaining plump, younger-looking skin and healthy skin cells. One gallon may seem ambitious, so work your way up. Eight 8-ounce cups are the standard—start there.
• Use daily sunscreen! Even on overcast days, broad-spectrum sunscreen protects your skin from damaging UV rays. Reapply every half-hour, especially if you go swimming.
• Avoid bad habits. Smoking and drinking alcohol are detrimental to your skin, causing cells to die and accelerating aging.
• Invest in your skincare. Use skincare products like serums and moisturizers that contain anti-aging retinoids. These keep your skin nourished, firm, and refreshed!
• Schedule maintenance treatments. Prolong results with follow-up sessions to monitor progress and determine if you need a touch-up
