The medical lift has become one of the most sought-after procedures in aesthetic-oriented medicine, as it makes it possible to reshape the facial oval and rejuvenate the features without surgery. Several medical lift techniques are now available to target signs of aging, such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, and tissue sagging.
The medical lift encompasses a set of non-surgical techniques aimed at firming, smoothing, and redefining the contours of the face and neck. Unlike surgical lifting, the medical lift does not involve incisions and does not cause social downtime, making it an ideal solution for people who want a natural and progressive result. The different methods make it possible to treat specific areas of the face, such as the cheekbones and the oval, or to provide an overall lifting effect by rejuvenating the entire face.
Medical lift techniques offer several advantages for patients wishing to avoid surgery.
• No recovery time : unlike surgical lifting, medical lifts are performed without incisions and do not cause social downtime.
• Natural and progressive results : non-invasive methods offer effects that improve over time, providing a discreet and natural result.
• Adaptability and customization : medical lift techniques can be adjusted according to each patient’s needs for a tailor-made result.
• Fewer risks and side effects : medical lifting procedures involve minimal risks, with few or no side effects.
The medical lift is an ideal solution for people who want to correct signs of aging but do not want to resort to surgery. It is intended for patients who feel a loss of firmness or skin laxity, but who prefer a gentler procedure than a surgical lift.
People who begin to notice wrinkles, skin sagging, a less defined oval, or laxity in the neck area are good candidates for the medical lift. This approach is also suitable for patients wishing to maintain their face progressively, improving skin quality and volumes in a natural way, without excessive modification.
An initial consultation precedes the medical lift session. During this first evaluation, Dr. Romano examines the condition of the skin, the anatomy of the face, and the patient’s expectations. This step makes it possible to determine the protocol or technique best suited to the needs and morphology of each patient, thus ensuring an optimal result.
The doctor also takes the time to explain the process, the expected results, and the available options to maintain the lifting effect. The choice of technique will depend on many factors, including age, skin type, the areas concerned, and the degree of skin laxity.
Facial aging results from a combination of anatomical and biological processes. Over time, the skin gradually loses its elasticity, firmness, and radiance, becoming thinner, less dense, and sometimes more marked. The subcutaneous fatty tissue fragments, migrates, or atrophies, leading to a loss of volume, particularly in the cheekbones, temples, cheeks, and chin. The bone structure also undergoes progressive resorption, which accentuates sagging and modifies the contours. The tissues supporting the face lose their tension capacity and slide under the effect of gravity, forming folds, creases, or hollows. The light-reflecting points, essential to the aesthetic balance of the face, shift, resulting in a loss of projection and definition. A precise analysis of these transformations makes it possible to define an appropriate treatment plan, combining volumetric correction, tissue stimulation, and natural tightening.
Hyaluronic acid occupies a central place in medical lifting. This molecule, naturally present in the dermis, has the ability to retain water, restore lost volumes, and support the tissues. Two approaches are used in a medical lift.
The first consists in restoring the volumes lost over time. The areas concerned are often the cheekbones, temples, cheeks, chin, or jawline. By injecting a volumizing hyaluronic acid, the hollow areas are filled, the volumes are restored, and the natural contours of the face are recovered. This volumetric correction gives back structure, projection, and restores the face’s light-reflecting areas.
The second approach constitutes a true medical lift. It consists in repositioning the tissues using more cohesive and structural hyaluronic acids, injected into deeper areas of the face, in contact with the bone. This technique subtly tightens the sagging structures, reshapes the contours, and corrects the folds without weighing down the face. The desired effect is dynamic, natural, and physiological.
Skinboosters are composed of a lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, specially designed to improve deep hydration and skin suppleness without altering volumes. Injected in a mesh pattern into the dermis, they help restore skin quality, enhance radiance, strengthen the water barrier, and increase skin suppleness. They are particularly suitable for faces showing dehydrated skin, dullness, or fine lines. As a complement to other medical lifting techniques, Skinboosters offer a subtle but essential result : healthier, more resilient, more elastic skin.
The Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid . Its action does not rely on an immediate volumizing effect, but on a progressive stimulation of fibroblasts, which restart the natural production of collagen in the dermis. Injected deeply, it induces true tissue regeneration, allowing the skin to regain structure, density and support capacity. This treatment is particularly suitable for thinned and lax skin, where the loss of collagen is accompanied by a loss of firmness and an alteration of skin quality. Over the weeks, the skin thickens, becomes more even and toned, more resilient. The result builds progressively and stabilizes over several months.
The laser de photorejuvenation is indicated when the skin has lost density or luminosity, or shows superficial irregularities. It delivers controlled light energy capable of stimulating fibroblasts, which restart the natural production of collagen and elastin. The skin becomes firmer, gains homogeneity and becomes smoother and denser. The laser also acts on redness, enlarged pores, pigmentation irregularities and loss of radiance. It represents an essential technique within aesthetic-oriented medicine because it improves skin quality and prepares it for other treatments.
The medium peel or deep peel uses a chemical solution adapted to the thickness of the skin to induce controlled exfoliation and stimulate true skin regeneration. By penetrating the superficial or medium dermis, depending on the type of peel, it causes desquamation that leads to the formation of a new skin layer, more homogeneous, thicker and better structured. This stimulation promotes the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which improves the density, firmness and suppleness of the skin. Over time, fine lines, certain surface irregularities and small residual pigmentations fade, leaving the skin more even, smoother and visibly younger. As part of aesthetic-oriented medicine, the medium or deep peel does not replace injections and is not always indicated.

The medical lifting is a minimally painful procedure. Non-invasive techniques, such as hyaluronic acid injections, botulinum toxin, radiofrequency or lasers, are used. A numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort. Most patients describe a mild tingling sensation, well tolerated.
The number of sessions depends on the technique used and the patient’s anatomy. In general, 1 to 3 sessions are enough to achieve a perfect, visible, and harmonious result, with possible touch-ups depending on the needs. A personalized assessment allows for protocol adjustment.
Medical lifting repositions sagging fat and loose skin, stimulates collagen production, and restores skin firmness without surgery. Depending on the technique (injections, laser, peels), it firms the tissues, restores lost volume, and smooths wrinkles. The result is a visibly rejuvenated and natural-looking face, without excessive transformation.
Among the most common techniques, we find thread lifting, lifting with hyaluronic acid injections, and laser lifting. Each method is adapted according to age, skin quality and the patient’s expectations.
Yes, certain contraindications exist, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune diseases, skin infections or coagulation disorders. A prior diagnosis is essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
