Non-Surgical Face Lifts
in Birmingham
There are Three types of non-surgical face lift procedures:
- Ultraformer III
- Clear lift
- Radio Frequency and Micro-Needling with Infini
How exactly you can benefit from Ultraformer III
Collagen is what preserves our skin’s younger energy and elasticity. From our mid to late twenties, our skin starts to provide 1% less collagen each year as we age. Reduction in collagen can lead to skin laxity and wrinkles.
Using Ultraformer treatment will improve collagen production, tightening and strengthening your skin for a more youthful look and feel.
Ultraformer warms the deeper layers of skin, thus stimulating collagen fibres. The warmth encourages the fibres to regenerate, restoring their energy and elasticity.
Our machines are able to deliver strength to manage depths of 0.5 mm, 3 mm, 4.5 mm and up to 13 mm, enabling us to treat various areas of the body as well as the face.
For example, at 4.5 mm deep, Ultraformer can also target subcutaneous fat cells, breaking down the fat cells and smoothing out cellulite. In addition to its anti-getting effects, Ultraformer is also an effective treatment for minimising a double chin.

All you need to know about Ultraformer III
You may have other questions about the procedure that may not have been answered yet. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Ultraformer III.
Ultraformer therapy uses high-intensity ultrasound (HIFU) to lift and tighten the skin. HIFU targets not only the epidermis and dermis, but the SMAS layer too – the layer of tissue that surgeons pull during a surgical facelift procedure.
The levels of discomfort can vary from person to person. The majority of our patients tolerate the treatment without anaesthesia, however, a topical numbing can be applied prior to the procedure to make the treatment feel more comfortable.
We recommend a minimum of 2 treatments, spaced 3 months apart, for significant results. Maintenance treatments are usually performed once a year. Ultraformer is often teamed with tightening treatments at the clinic, such as radiofrequency and Clearlift to maximise results.
How exactly you can benefit from Clear Lift
Clearlift is an innovative, pain-free, non-ablative laser skin treatment that can provide instant rejuvenation, plumping and smoothing of the skin.
This cutting-edge type of laser can penetrate four times deeper than other lasers without damaging the upper layers of the skin.
It is a fast skin rejuvenation treatment that can be easily fitted into even the busiest of schedules. Dubbed the ‘lunchtime lift,’ this treatment has no downtime or pain associated with the treatment, and only mild redness can be seen post-treatment.
Clearlift is suitable for all skin types and can help tackle fine lines, wrinkles, dull texture and can provide an amazing boost for the look and feel of your skin as well as your self-esteem!
Summary of Clear Lift Treatment
All you need to know about Clear Lift
You may have other questions about the procedure that may not have been answered yet. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Clear Lift.
This groundbreaking treatment delivers a pixelated laser into the skin, which heats the dermis, stimulating a wound healing response in the skin. It prompts increased production of collagen and elastin, improving skin laxity and health.
This is laser treatment, and so some risk is associated with this treatment. Tanned skin cannot be treated, and some medications can increase your risk of photosensitivity. This is why a thorough skin consultation and patch test will be performed prior to your first treatment, and changes in health will be reviewed regularly.
Your aesthetician will perform a thorough cleanse of your skin first. After goggles are applied, the laser is applied to the skin and the whole process can take anywhere between 30-60 minutes.
The treatment is incredibly comfortable, and you will only experience the slightest bit of warmth. Straight after, the skin can look slightly flushed, but this dissipates within an hour after treatment.
How exactly you can benefit from Radio Frequency and Micro-Needling with Infini
High-intensity focused radiofrequency micro-needling rejuvenates the skin by boosting collagen production. It improves wrinkles, scars, stretch marks and tightens the skin, improving tone and radiance.
Radiofrequency stimulates collagen production at deep levels of the skin, which gives an overall tightening and lifting effect, as well as improving the skin’s appearance on the surface.
Radiofrequency and micro-needling have individually been used as effective anti-ageing treatments for a number of years. But the ability to offer both treatments together at the same time – with the radio frequency providing added heat to deliver a more intense treatment and exceptional results, is something new.
We are proud to be able to offer a Two-in-One Micro-Needle Fractional Radio Frequency device that offers a choice of penetration depths from 0.1 mm to 3.5 mm, for bespoke treatments.
Our Lutronic’s INFINI machine is clinically proven to increase collagen production in the skin, helping to reduce wrinkles and resurface the skin through 3D volumisation. INFINI™ is widely regarded among aesthetic practitioners as an effective solution for treating loose, sagging skin, stretch marks, enlarged pores and acne scars on the face and neck. INFINI is approved for all skin types.
Summary of Radio Frequency and Micro-Needling with Infini Treatment
All you need to know about Radio Frequency and Micro-Needling with Infini
You may have other questions about the procedure that may not have been answered yet. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Radio Frequency and Micro-Needling with Infini.
Its gold-plated micro-needles allow for the deeper penetration of the radio frequency at the same time as causing thousands of micro-injuries to the skin. This stimulates the production of new collagen, dramatically tightening and rejuvenating the skin.
INFINI is ideal for treating aesthetic issues such as ageing, sagging, wrinkled skin, acne scarring and skin with pigmentation.
A great advantage is that it can be used on people with active acne and on all skin types, including darker skin and tanned skin, and can help to effectively reduce the appearance of acne scars over time, leaving the skin smoother and clearer than it was before.
By volumising dermal tissue and smoothing out wrinkles and sagging skin, INFINI can help restore elasticity and freshness to the face without medical intervention.
As it Is non-surgical, patients can carry on with their daily lives almost immediately after treatment.
INFINI protects the epidermis where pigment cells are because its needles are insulated. Also, the depth can be adjusted so the heat from the radiofrequency stays in the dermis, below the most superficial layer. Other devices are either not insulated, or try to push heat through the skin, potentially damaging the pigment cells.
The INFINI is safer than a laser, with less downtime, and no risk to the eyes. As stated above, dark skin patients can be treated more safely with the INFINI when compared to a laser because the laser heats the upper layer of skin, the epidermis. Lasers carry the risk of pigment changes in the skin and can make it lighter or darker.
INFINI appears to deliver better results than lasers when treating acne scars. An added benefit is that elastin is also produced (elastosis) in response to a radiofrequency treatment, which is not the case with laser resurfacing treatments.
The neck and décolleté can usually be treated in conjunction with the face. Other possible treatment areas include skin laxity on the arms, knees, stretch marks and scars from surgery. Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating can also be successfully treated with INFINI. With appropriate training and the correct settings, INFINI can be used on all areas of the body.
