Why get a Nonsurgical Facelift?
The autologous serum facelift is a noninvasive alternative to the surgical facelift.
By combining autologous serum with hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers and/or PDO threads, the nonsurgical facelift provides instant gratification and promotes long-term improvements over the 2 to 3 months following the procedure.
What can be treated with a Nonsurgical Facelift?
If you want plumper skin and to give your face contour and glow, the autologous serum facelift is a great option for nonsurgical facial rejuvenation. It is an excellent solution for plumper skin, contour, and restored volume in the under eye area.
Other benefits of the nonsurgical facelift include:
- Tighter, firmer skin
- Improved moisture retention
- Increased collagen production
How does the Nonsurgical Facelift work?
While the revitalizing complex in autologous serum takes time to naturally generate new collagen, the filler and PDO threads add immediate volume and lift.
The fillers immediately smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, soften creases, enhance your facial contour, and restore volume where it’s depleted. The autologous serum, on the other hand, uses skin-renewing proteins to gradually improve skin tone and texture over time.
We may also recommend adding PDO threads to give your face an immediate lift to help you get the most out of your non-surgical face lift.
When will I see the results of my Nonsurgical Facelift treatment?
You’ll see a difference immediately after your treatment because of the volume added from dermal fillers and/or the lift provided by the PDO threads. The final results of your treatment, however, will gradually become apparent as the autologous serum takes effect and any post-procedural swelling subsides.
It usually takes autologous serum about 8 to 12 weeks to generate new collagen, blood vessels, and tissues. The results from the procedure will continue to improve over time.
How much does Nonsurgical Facelift cost?
At all 3 of our RejuvenationMD medical spa locations in Bothell, Burlington, and Bellingham, we offer nonsurgical facelifts for $1,995 and up.
The cost of a nonsurgical facelift will depend on whether you combine it with dermal fillers and/or a PDO thread lift. When you consult with us for an autologous serum facelift, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored for you.
All new patients at RejuvenationMD receive a $200 credit toward any treatment, which can be used toward a nonsurgical facelift.
How long do Nonsurgical Facelift results last?
At the 3 to 4-month mark, patients will realize the full results of their treatment. Results can last 1 to 2 years.
What is a Nonsurgical Facelift treatment like?
When you visit RejuvenationMD for your nonsurgical facelift, we’ll first apply a numbing cream and draw blood from your arm. One of our specialists will use a centrifuge to separate your platelets from your red blood cells. We consider these skin-renewing ingredients “liquid gold.”
The nonsurgical facelift is a quick treatment that typically takes about 90 minutes. Depending on your goals and the number of filler syringes or PDO Threads you’re getting, it may take a little longer.
Your aesthetic provider will inject the filler to achieve immediate volume, then place the autologous serum beneath it. If you’ve chosen to combine PDO threads, after your aesthetic provider administers the revitalizing complex, the threads will be placed to give you an immediate lift.
Does a Nonsurgical Facelift hurt?
You shouldn’t feel much pain during your nonsurgical facelift. We’ll use numbing cream 20 to 30 minutes ahead of the treatment. We may inject lidocaine if necessary, and dermal fillers also include lidocaine to enhance the numbing. We also offer Pro-Nox™ if you’re worried about pain.
Can the Nonsurgical Facelift get rid of wrinkles?
Because autologous serum naturally stimulates collagen and elastin, you’ll notice your skin gradually become smoother, more radiant, and younger-looking. It may even prevent future wrinkles from forming. If you add filler to your nonsurgical facelift, it will immediately fill in any obvious wrinkles.
Does a Nonsurgical Facelift actually work?
The nonsurgical facelift with dermal fillers gives you better results than you would get if you chose to have either autologous serum or hyaluronic filler injected during separate procedures, according to doctors on RealSelf.com. Set realistic expectations ahead of time, though, and understand that no noninvasive treatment has the power to give you results quite as dramatic and long-lasting as a surgical facelift would.
How do I prepare for a Nonsurgical Facelift treatment?
At your nonsurgical facelift consultation, we’ll give you the full instructions on how to prepare for your facial rejuvenation treatment, but general instructions include:
- Stop taking blood-thinning medication, aspirin, or ibuprofen for the week leading up to your treatment.
- Stop consuming herbal supplements for at least a week prior to your injections.
- Limit sun exposure as much as possible and wear plenty of sunscreen for 1 to 2 weeks before your appointment.
- Avoid consuming alcohol for at least a week before your injections.
- Stay extra hydrated throughout the days leading up to your treatment.
- To minimize swelling and bruising, take arnica tablets throughout the days leading up to your appointment.
We ask that you arrive at our office for your nonsurgical facelift appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.
What are alternatives to a Nonsurgical Facelift?
At RejuvenationMD®, we have many ways to rejuvenate the face. We offer some alternatives to the autologous serum facelift that can also play a role in delaying the need for a surgical facelift.
Botox and Dysport – These are popular muscle relaxers at RejuvenationMD that can temporarily smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, especially telltale signs of aging like crow’s feet and the “eleven” lines between the eyebrows.
Liquid facelift – Using a combination of hyaluronic acid fillers and neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport, the liquid face lift temporarily restores facial volume, lifts your cheeks, and smooths out fine lines and wrinkles.
Am I a candidate for Nonsurgical Facelift?
Autologous serum is safe for all skin tones and types. The nonsurgical facelift is a great procedure for anyone who wants to turn back the clock without surgery—even those in their 50s and beyond. The younger you are, however, the better your body will respond to the autologous serum.
When you meet with one of our specialists during a complimentary consultation, they will listen closely to your goals and medical history, look at where your face is in the aging process, and determine whether this treatment is right for you. Big determining factors can include your age, health, and muscle.
Is the Nonsurgical Facelift safe? What are the possible side effects?
Since hyaluronic acid is naturally found in your body, there’s little chance of getting an allergic reaction from your nonsurgical facelift.
The nonsurgical facelift is a safe procedure, but if you don’t visit an experienced provider for your treatment, there’s a risk of blood-borne disease transmission, including HIV. Our experts RejuvenationMD always ensure they are following protocol according to the FDA-approved, sterile process for obtaining, concentrating, and administering autologous serum.
If filler is unintentionally injected into a blood vessel during the procedure, it can block blood flow. A mistake like this only happens in the hands of an inexperienced injector.
We recommend avoiding autologous serum treatments like the nonsurgical facelift if you have:
- Hepatitis C, HIV, or AIDS
- Blood cancer of any kind
- Cardiovascular disease that requires you to always take blood thinning medications
- Skin cancer in the areas of the face you’ll be having treated
Is there any downtime needed after a Nonsurgical Facelift treatment?
There’s no downtime. After treatment, you may experience swelling, bruising, and/or redness in the treatment areas, but this should resolve in a few days.
Most of our patients return to their usual routines as early as the next day.

“I am an older lady way into my golden years. The aging process is not what anyone compares to gold, so I’m not sure how that phrase got “coined,” but I did find gold when I met Dr. Tianna Tsitsis. She beautified my face and directed me in treatments for tightening my neck. The results are stunning! She is skilled, kind and highly professional at all times. I am so happy with the results. I would recommend her to anyone who has entered the world of Seniors. Dr. Tsitsis understands the feelings that come with these years and gives you a new confidence to brighten and tighten you; to make you glow, and really look “golden”.”
