Non-Surgical Facelift | V-Lift Microcurrent | Ladera Ranch
Microcurrent · No needles · No downtime
The
non-surgical
facelift
Sixty minutes of slow, deliberate work along the contours of the face. Nothing injected. Nothing to recover from.
What it is
A workout for the face,
not a filler for it.
Microcurrent is a very low-level current, delivered through a handheld probe and worked slowly along the jaw, cheek, brow and neck. You feel almost nothing. There is no needle, no heat, no peeling, and nothing to hide afterwards.
It works on the muscle beneath the skin rather than the surface of it, which is why it changes the shape of the jaw and brow rather than the texture of the skin over them.
Most people notice it in the mirror the same day: a lifted look through the cheek and jaw, a cleaner line along the neck, skin that simply reads more awake.
It is the treatment I have performed more than any other, and the one clients return for on a rhythm. If you are not yet sure whether microcurrent is what your skin needs, start with firmness and fine lines instead, where I set out all the options side by side.
The hour, pass by pass
How a V-Lift session runs
We look first
A short consultation, a double cleanse, then your skin under magnification. I note where the face holds tension and where it has lost definition. That decides where the hour goes.
Conductive prep
A conductive gel or serum so the current travels evenly. This layer is chosen for your skin, not applied by default.
The lift
The bulk of the hour. Slow, repeated passes along jaw, cheek, brow and neck, section by section. Most clients fall asleep partway through.
Finish
LED, a lymphatic drainage massage, and a mask or serum suited to your skin that day. Sunscreen last, always.
Your rhythm
We agree on the spacing that makes sense for you. One session is a beautiful reset. A series is how the change holds.
Suitability
Who this is for
- Softening definitionAlong the jawline, cheek and neck, where the face reads tired rather than lined.

Why a series does what one session can't
One session gives you a lift you can see that week. A series builds on itself, because the effect is cumulative and spacing matters more than intensity.
A single session is $240. Language here describes the appearance of the skin rather than any medical outcome, and individual results vary. If you would rather keep a steady rhythm than buy a block, the membership may suit you better.
- Straight after. No redness to hide, no peeling. Back to work, to dinner, anywhere.
- Makeup. Fine the same day, though skin usually looks better without it.
- How long it holds. A single session is temporary by nature. A series is what makes the change stick, and results vary from person to person.
- At home. Hydration and daily sunscreen do more for the result than any extra product.
- Coming back. Closer spacing at the start of a series, then a maintenance rhythm we set together.
Questions
Before you book
Does it hurt?
No. Most people feel nothing at all, or a very faint tingle. It is one of the most relaxing treatments I offer, and clients regularly fall asleep during it.
Is this the same as a surgical facelift?
No, and it isn't sold as one. It is a non-surgical treatment that improves how lifted and defined the face appears. Nothing is cut, nothing is injected, nothing is permanent.
How soon will I see something?
Often the same day, most visibly through the cheek and jaw. Individual results vary, and a series gives a more lasting change than one session.
Is there downtime?
None. No redness, no flaking, no recovery. Book it before an event rather than after.
How many sessions do I need?
Six is the usual starting point for visible, holding change. Ten and fourteen session packages exist for those who want to go further, and we decide together at your consultation.
Microcurrent or radiofrequency?
Microcurrent works on the muscle and changes the shape of the jaw and brow. Radiofrequency works in the dermis and changes the quality of the skin. If both apply to you, the firmness page compares them properly.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes. It pairs well with LED, hydration facials and radiofrequency. If you want everything in one visit, The Icon is the ninety-minute option.

First of all it was the best facial I've ever had, she does so many different treatments and procedures that really goes above and beyond a normal facial. Her studio is so adorable, relaxing and private. She is also so friendly, kind and helpful. And she really wants what's best for your skin!"
