What Is a Non-Surgical Facelift?
A non-surgical facelift, also known as a liquid facelift, is a combination of minimally invasive rejuvenation procedures. Without incisions, anesthesia, pain, or a lengthy recovery, you can significantly reduce the signs of aging.
This procedure is ideal for anyone with a busy lifestyle who wants to save time and money, since a non-surgical facelift costs considerably less than having surgery.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are an effective non-surgical treatment to minimize fine lines and wrinkles and promote natural collagen production to improve skin’s resilience. These injectables are typically safe for most patients.
Plastic Surgery of Michigan offers the versatile Juvéderm® and Restylane® dermal filler lines. These fillers add volume to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds and restore facial contours in many areas, including:
- Lips and perioral area
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Nasolabial folds
Botox®
Botox is a neuromodulator that blocks nerve signals to the muscles in the treated area. By stopping the repetitive motions from repeated facial expressions, Botox® reduces the appearance of fine lines and moderate to severe wrinkles.
With a smoother, natural-looking appearance, Botox® doesn’t diminish movements in untreated areas of the face. Botox® can address lines and wrinkles around the:
- Eyes
- Eyebrows
- Forehead
- Neck
- Lips
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a highly effective treatment for various skin issues, including fine lines and wrinkles and textural concerns. Laser resurfacing also stimulates collagen production and skin regeneration without significant downtime.
Laser resurfacing can treat:
- Unwanted hair
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dark spots and hyperpigmentation
- Texture issues

IPL Rejuvenation
Intense pulsed light, or IPL, treatments release different wavelengths of light at your skin like a photo flash. These treatments are virtually painless and require no downtime. Most patients can resume their daily activities almost immediately following IPL treatments. Without damaging the top layer of your skin, IPL breaks apart the unwanted pigments, which your body will process and eliminate. A series of three to five IPL treatments provides the best results. IPL procedures can improve the appearance of many skin conditions, including:
- Acne and scars
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Melasma
- Freckles
- Redness from rosacea

What Can I Expect During a Non-Surgical Facelift in Michigan?
Each customizable Michigan non-surgical facelift will be unique, but here are some general steps to expect.
Before Your Non-Surgical Facelift Procedure
Before your non-surgical facelift, you may need to avoid specific things to reduce your risk of bruising, including:
- Blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, or vitamin E
- Alcohol for at least one to two days
- Direct sunlight or tanning beds for several weeks
- Waxing
- Chemical peels
- Collagen injections
- Skin care products that contain vitamin A
During Your Non-Surgical Facelift Procedure
Depending on your unique needs and the procedures included in your non-surgical facelift, your procedure may take approximately 45 to 60 minutes, and you may or may not receive topical anesthesia.
Typically, Juvéderm® and Restylane® injectable procedures are quick and tolerable, with most patients reporting only minimal discomfort. These injectable procedures take approximately 15 to 30 minutes and require little to no downtime.
Mild side effects can include bruising or swelling at the injection site, which typically subside within a few days. You can resume most of your usual daily activities immediately, but please do not do strenuous activities, including exercising, for at least 24 to 48 hours.
Most patients notice an improvement immediately following dermal filler treatment. However, depending on the product used, your results may reveal themselves more gradually.
Depending on the product and placement, dermal filler results can last from six months to two years. To maintain optimal results, follow-up injections may be necessary.
Botox injections are quick and relatively painless, with patients reporting only minimal discomfort. With little to no downtime, Botox® procedures take approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Afterward, you can return to work or any of your other usual responsibilities. Side effects include mild bruising or swelling at the injection site, which will normally disappear on their own within a few days.
Following Botox treatments, avoid:
- Heating the treated area, including strenuous exercise, hot tubs, and saunas
- Consuming alcohol for 24 to 48 hours
- Massaging the area for 24 hours
Most patients notice wrinkles like crow’s feet becoming less prominent within two to four days following a Botox® treatment. Skin in the treated area will look smoother and more refreshed as the muscles continue to relax.
Depending on individual response, Botox® results typically last between three to six months.
Before IPL, you will receive dark glasses for eye protection. Our provider will clean your skin, then apply a thin gel before guiding the IPL device over the target area. Most IPL sessions are well-tolerated, but some patients experience a stinging sensation, like a rubber band snap. Depending on the size of the treatment area, IPL procedures last 20 to 30 minutes.
Patients can resume most of their usual routine following IPL. However, this procedure will make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, so you must stay out of direct sun for at least two weeks before and after IPL treatment.
You can expect to experience the first subtle improvements to your skin one to two weeks after your first IPL appointment. As collagen production increases, your results continue to improve for three to six months.
Before laser resurfacing, you’ll need to put on eye protection. Your provider will clean and treat your skin with a topical anesthetic, then aim the laser device at the target area. Most patients do not report any pain during laser resurfacing, though you may feel a slight stinging sensation. Depending on the size of the treatment area, your laser resurfacing appointment may last 30 to 45 minutes.
Laser treatments are fully customizable and require little to no downtime. You can return to your typical daily schedule afterward, but you must be careful to remain out of direct sun for at least a week after your treatment.
Recovery time after laser resurfacing is typically four days. After you heal, you will experience significant improvements to your skin’s tone and texture.
