Non-surgical laser face lifting

Treatment overview

Over time, the face gradually loses its firmness and clearly defined contours — the skin begins to sag, and our appearance can seem more tired than we actually feel.

Non-surgical laser face lifting allows for subtle yet visible skin tightening and redefinition of facial contours — without surgery, without sudden changes, and without disrupting your natural expression.

At our laser centre, we use advanced technologies such as Candela Nordlys, which enable precise action on skin quality and structure, with a high level of safety.

Notably, the true lifting effect does not come from the skin’s surface alone — it originates in the deeper layers where collagen fibres reside. This is precisely why the modern approach involves stimulating those deeper layers, delivering a more natural and longer-lasting result.


How is the treatment performed?

The treatment is carried out by applying laser energy that penetrates the skin and acts on multiple levels.

During the treatment:

  • new collagen production is stimulated
  • existing fibres are tightened
  • skin tone and elasticity are improved

The procedure is precise and tailored to the individual condition of each patient’s skin, with the aim of achieving a natural lifting effect.


Who is the treatment for?

The treatment is ideal for those who:

  • notice sagging skin on the face
  • have lost definition in the contours (jawline, cheeks)
  • wish to refresh their appearance without surgery
  • want a natural result without any change to their facial expression

It is suitable for those who wish to act preventatively, as well as for those who are already noticing the early signs of ageing.


Our approach

Facial lifting is not merely a question of technology — it is about understanding proportions, facial dynamics, and natural expression.

At our clinic, every treatment is planned by a specialist dermatologist who analyses the facial structure, skin quality, and the individual pattern of ageing. We do not approach the face in segments — we consider it as a whole.

We use advanced technologies such as Candela Nordlys, but the key lies in the manner of application — precise, individualised, and with a clear objective in mind.

The time we dedicate to each patient enables us to create a plan that does not alter the face — but rather restores it to its finest version.


Preparing for the treatment

Prior to the treatment, we recommend:

  • avoiding sun exposure for at least 2 weeks beforehand
  • refraining from aggressive skincare products for a few days before the appointment
  • arriving with clean, product-free skin

Anaesthetic cream is not usually required, depending on the type of treatment selected.


Recovery and precautions

Recovery is minimal, with an immediate return to daily activities possible in most cases.

Possible reactions:

  • mild redness
  • a sensation of warmth
  • slight skin sensitivity

Recommendations:

  • apply SPF sun protection daily
  • avoid sun and heat exposure for a few days
  • use the recommended skincare routine

When will results be visible?

Initial results become visible relatively quickly, whilst the full effect develops gradually over several weeks.

Patients can expect:

  • firmer, tighter skin
  • more defined facial contours
  • a fresher, more rested appearance

The result is natural and progressive.


Treatment combinations

For an optimal lifting effect, this treatment is frequently combined with technologies that act on different layers of the skin:

  • HIFU — for lifting of deeper structures and tissue support
  • Morpheus8 — for deep skin tightening and remodelling
  • CO2 Smaxel — for skin regeneration and texture improvement
  • Candela Nordlys — for evening skin tone and further improvement of skin quality
  • Icoone Laser Med — for stimulating microcirculation and regeneration

Additionally, where indicated:

  • dermal fillers to restore lost volume
  • botulinum toxin to soften expression lines
  • biostimulatory treatments

Combinations are planned on an individual basis — with the aim of achieving a natural, balanced, and long-lasting result.
