The Procedure

How Does Non Surgical Facial Contouring Procedure Work?

Full-face contouring is a tailored medical procedure designed according to individual facial anatomy and soft tissue condition. It uses a combination of muscle-relaxing injections, dermal fillers, or energy-based devices to improve facial support, reduce asymmetry, and improve age-related laxity.

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel collagen and tighten skin for a smoother, firmer appearance.

Sofwave™ uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness while reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Endolift uses laser technology to target fat deposits and stimulate collagen, sculpting heavy jowls and saggy necks by tightening the skin from within.

Dr Sabrina Shah-Desai How Does Non Surgical Facial Contouring Procedure Work?

What is Non Surgical Facial Contouring?

Face contouring is now a popular way to achieve a "sculpted" look with a defined jawline and defined cheekbones. Suitable for all ages, this non-invasive treatment is painless.

Non-surgical facial contouring with dermal fillers is a great way to achieve a more youthful facial profile and appearance without the cost and downtime of surgery. Precisely placed hyaluronic acid filler can support sagging brows, mask heavy jowls, plump nasolabial folds, and more. These fillers also shape your face as well as stimulate collagen production and hydrate your skin, so you end up with improved quality skin and an impeccable glow.

Non Surgical Treatments for Facial Contouring

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers add volume and shape to areas like cheeks, jawline, or lips by injecting hyaluronic acid or similar substances under the skin.

Non-Surgical Facelift

This treatment uses a combination of fillers, or ultrasound-based therapies, to lift and tighten sagging skin without surgery. In a non-surgical facelift, Dr Shah-Desai and her team strategically place filler at anatomical points to gently and naturally support the face by addressing localised volume loss.
