Non-Surgical Face Lifting in Canberra: The Best Treatment Options Explained | Sycamore Medi Spa

A youthful and lifted appearance doesn’t always require surgery. With the rise of advanced non-invasive technology, non-surgical face lifting has become one of the most popular options for clients looking to rejuvenate their facial contours, improve skin elasticity, and restore a younger-looking complexion — all without scalpels, scars, or extended downtime.

At Sycamore Medi Spa, we specialise in delivering the latest non-surgical face lifting treatments tailored for long-lasting, natural results. Whether you're experiencing early signs of aging or aiming to firm facial skin without undergoing surgery, this comprehensive guide will help you understand your options right here in Canberra.

What Is Non-Surgical Face Lifting?

Non-surgical face lifting refers to a range of medical-grade aesthetic treatments designed to tighten, lift, and rejuvenate the skin without surgical intervention. Unlike traditional facelifts which involve incisions and anesthesia, these treatments:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin production

• Improve firmness and skin texture

• Offer natural lifting effects with minimal discomfort and downtime

  
  

Non-surgical face lifting is ideal for addressing concerns such as mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, sagging jawline, and drooping cheeks.

Why Non-Surgical? Top Benefits

• Little to no downtime

• Natural-looking, gradual improvements

• More affordable than surgical facelifts

• Suitable for all skin types

• Can target specific facial areas (jowls, brow, cheeks, under eyes)

  
  

These treatments are performed in-clinic, often in under 90 minutes, making them perfect for busy professionals and individuals who want noticeable results without the recovery phase of surgery.

The Best Non-Surgical Face Lifting Options in Canberra

At Sycamore Medi Spa, we offer several cutting-edge treatments that deliver face-lifting and tightening effects. Below are the most popular procedures, including how they work and who they are best suited for.

1. Ultherapy – The Gold Standard in Skin Lifting

Ultherapy uses FDA-cleared ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production deep within the skin layers. It is one of the most trusted non-surgical treatments for:

• Sagging jawline

• Brow lifting

• Neck and décolletage tightening

It works by sending precise ultrasound waves beneath the skin surface, triggering a natural healing response that results in firmer, tighter skin over time.

2. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

A powerful alternative to Ultherapy, HIFU offers non-invasive lifting and contouring using focused ultrasound energy. It's especially effective for:

• Improving cheek volume

• Defining facial contours

• Reducing the appearance of wrinkles

This treatment is known for its immediate tightening effect and long-term collagen stimulation, making it a popular choice for clients who want results without needles or surgery.

3. Radiofrequency Skin Tightening (RF Skin Lifting)

RF Skin Tightening uses radiofrequency technology to gently heat the deeper skin layers, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production. It’s a safe and effective option for:

• Mild to moderate skin laxity

• Wrinkles around mouth and eyes

• Maintenance after fillers or Ultherapy

This treatment is painless and can even be paired with facials or LED therapy for enhanced results.

4. PDO Thread Lifts

Unlike topical treatments or lasers, PDO Thread Lifts insert dissolvable sutures beneath the skin to lift sagging tissue. They work by:

• Providing an instant lift

• Triggering fibrosis (tightening) and collagen renewal

• Sculpting facial contours

Perfect for clients who want visible lifting without surgery, this treatment is often used on the mid-face, jawline, and neck.

5. Dermal Fillers for Lifting and Contour

Strategic placement of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can lift and contour facial structures. They are particularly effective for:

• Cheekbone enhancement

• Jawline definition

• Softening nasolabial folds (smile lines)

While fillers are often not classified as “lifting” in a traditional sense, their volumizing effect contributes significantly to a youthful look.

What Results Can You Expect?

Non-surgical face lifting delivers gradual but noticeable improvements, with many clients reporting:

• Lifted, firmer facial structure

• More defined jawline or cheekbones

• Reduced wrinkles and fine lines

• Fresher, more youthful appearance

Since the results rely heavily on collagen regeneration, most treatments produce peak results between 3 to 6 months, with effects lasting up to 18 months or more depending on the method.

Post-Treatment Care and Maintenance

After your treatment, it’s essential to protect and nourish your skin to maximise results. Our team will provide customised aftercare instructions, depending on the treatment you’ve undergone, but general recommendations include:

• Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 50 daily

• Maintain hydration for skin healing

• Avoid smoking and alcohol for 48 hours

• Pair treatment with skincare boosters like Vitamin C or collagen masks

  
  

For long-term maintenance, follow-up treatments like RF Skin Tightening, LED Light Therapy, or HydraFacials can enhance and preserve lifting results.
