Real Patient Results
What Is a Non-Surgical Facelift?
Non-surgical facelifts use minimally invasive procedures to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance. These techniques don’t require large incisions, general anesthesia, or hospitalization like traditional facelifts. Typically, non-surgical facelift patients experience very little discomfort and minimal downtime.
A non-surgical facelift requires knowledge of when and how to use different products, meticulous injection skills and artistic eyes for beauty and details. During a non-surgical facelift, Dr. Naz may use:
Dr. Naz uses ultrasound technology to guide her placement of injectables in delicate areas during treatments. This extra step ensures precise injections and the correct amount of filler units for optimal results and patient safety.
Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Options
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers hydrate as they stimulate collagen production, add volume, smooth lines, wrinkles, and folds, and restore contours.
Fillers can help refresh your youthful appearance by treating moderate to severe wrinkles or volume loss in:
- Lips and perioral area
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Nasolabial folds
Botox
Botox reduces the appearance of fine lines by preventing repetitive muscular movements, keeping your natural overall look. The result is a refreshed, younger version of yourself.
While preserving your ability to make fluid facial expressions in the untreated areas, Botox minimizes wrinkles such as crow’s feet, brow furrows, and 11 lines.
Belkyra
Belkyra is a non-surgical treatment to reduce the amount of submental fat and improve the appearance of a double chin. It consists of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that aids in fat digestion. Typically, patients require three to five treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Many of Dr. Naz’s patients request a nose enhancement as part of their non-surgical facelift. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not effective for patients looking to dramatically restore crooked or broken noses or to repair breathing issues like a deviated septum. A non-surgical rhinoplasty can temporarily address minor issues, including:
- Smoothing out small bumps
- Addressing asymmetries
- Improving contours
- Correcting drooping nasal tips

At Art of Lines MD, we carefully customize each non-surgical facelift procedure for our patients, but here are some general steps you can expect.
Before your session
Check-in
Non-Surgical Facelift Procedure
Non-Surgical Facelift Aftercare
Before your session
Reduce your risk of bruising by avoiding any blood thinners – such as aspirin, Advil, Motrin, vitamin E, and alcohol – for one to two days before treatment.
Come to your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face.
Check-in
When you arrive, our team will greet you and ask you to complete all necessary documentation, including a consent form. We’ll take photographs of treatment areas before injection. Dr. Naz will ensure you’re comfortable and review your treatment plan. She will then answer any last questions and evaluate the treatment areas.
Non-Surgical Facelift Procedure
Anxiety is typical with injectable procedures, but Dr. Naz will use her friendly bedside manner to put you at ease. Typically, non-surgical facelift procedures are quick and relatively painless. Most patients report only minimal discomfort, like a slight pinch. The procedure lasts approximately 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas.
Non-Surgical Facelift Aftercare
While most injectable treatments require minimal downtime, it is vital to thoroughly follow Dr. Naz’s instructions.
You can resume most normal activities immediately. Redness and swelling are typical and should resolve on their own within a few hours. Bruising at the injection site can take up to two weeks to fade. You can apply ice packs to help minimize these side effects.
Following your non-surgical facelift, you should avoid:
- Wearing makeup for 24 hours
- Sun exposure for about a week
- Products with retinoids, vitamin C, or other exfoliants
- Heating the treated area
- Activities that cause sweating
- Rubbing, massaging, or putting pressure on the treated area
- Lying on your back for four hours after treatment
How Soon Will I See My Non-Surgical Facelift Results?
Many patients notice significant enhancements immediately following dermal fillers. Results vary based upon individual patient response, area treated, and filler placement. With optimal treatment, fillers can last from six months to two years.
Following Botox, most patients’ muscles begin to relax within 24 to 48 hours, with full results visible in one week. Botox results typically last between three to six months.
Belkyra patients experience visible improvement after a series of two to four treatments. Retreatment and touch-up appointments are not necessary once you achieve your ideal chin profile. You’ll experience long-lasting results by maintaining a healthy weight.

North Vancouver Non-Surgical Facelift - FAQs
Unlike a liquid facelift, a surgical facelift addresses excess loose, sagging skin, especially around the lower portion of the face. If this is your primary area of concern, then a surgical facelift may be the more appropriate option for your rejuvenation
A non-surgical facelift uses non-invasive techniques such as Botox or dermal fillers to improve the appearance of signs of aging. Treatments like Botox relax facial muscles to help reduce expressions that cause wrinkles, and dermal fillers restore volume for smooth, youthful results.
A non-surgical facelift requires minimal preparation; however, there are some things you can do to help your results appear faster and enjoy them for longer.
Arrive at your consultation ready to discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history. Dr. Naz will ask about your skin concerns or conditions and skincare routine. If a non-surgical facelift is the right treatment for you, Dr. Naz will develop a plan for your treatment, provide you with detailed preparation instructions, and discuss any follow-up care.
After your non-surgical facelift, it’s completely understandable that you would want to prolong your beautiful, youthful results. To increase the longevity of your results and allow you to enjoy a younger look for longer, you can:
- Prioritize your post-care instructions.
- Let go of the nicotine.
- Stay protected from the sun
- Lead a healthy lifestyle
- Establish a relationship with an esthetician
- Establish healthy sleeping patterns and positions
You should avoid lying flat for at least four hours after treatment. We also encourage our patients to refrain from taking over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or Advil to help reduce the chances of bruising. Likewise, postpone all strenuous activities, such as exercise, for the first 12 hours to help avoid infection at the injection sites.
Dr. Naz aims for natural, subtle results that allow her patients to retain their natural expressions and facial movements, avoiding the dreaded “frozen” effect. Your friends and family may notice that your skin looks smoother or that you look refreshed and well-rested, but they will not think you look overdone.
Every patient has their own unique features and desired results, which is why Dr. Naz carefully customizes each initial procedure and maintenance procedure to achieve their specific requirements. While some patients are ecstatic about their results after their first treatment, some patients need another session to reach their optimal outcome. Additionally, Dr. Naz takes a less-is-more approach to ensure that results remain natural and cohesive with the rest of her patient’s features, but rest assured that with her expertise, she will help you find the perfect balance.
Individual results may vary, depending on how fast your body metabolizes the injectable treatments. However, most patients see results that last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Additionally, a non-invasive facelift is an excellent preventative treatment. With the continued use of dermal fillers to boost your skin’s volume and stimulate collagen, the skin’s ability to crease is limited, meaning a non-surgical facelift helps fight against dynamic wrinkles and slows volume loss for long-term results.
While little compares to the more permanent anti-aging effects of a traditional facelift, a non-surgical facelift offers patients an affordable option while they’re in that in-between stage of not yet requiring the extensive results of a traditional facelift. What most patients find appealing about a non-surgical facelift is the brief recovery time. With a busy schedule, you may not have time to undergo 1 to 2 weeks of recovery following surgery. A non-surgical facelift offers those who want an anti-aging or facial lifting treatment but aren’t ready for the expense, recovery, and risks of a surgical facelift.
Non-surgical facelifts are considered safe and effective when provided by a board-certified professional.
The most common risks and side effects include:
- Bruising at injection sites
- Swelling
- Redness
- Tenderness
- Minor discomfort when smiling or laughing
There are common ways of avoiding these side effects or helping them dissipate faster. For bruising, avoid taking over-the-counter pain medications, such as aspirin, Advil, or ibuprofen, before your treatment unless it’s medically necessary. Swelling can be minimized with cold compresses pressed gently against the treatment area for 15 to 20 minute intervals.
