What Is the Express Lift?

The Express Lift is an innovative, minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to tighten skin, reduce fat, and stimulate collagen production. Working above and below the skin, this treatment creates firmer, smoother, more youthful contours. It may also be combined with RF microneedling or laser resurfacing to further enhance skin texture and tone.

Am I a Good Candidate for the Express Lift?

The Express Lift is ideal for patients with mild to moderate signs of facial and neck aging who want visible improvement without surgery. It’s also a great option for patients who had a facelift 10–15 years ago and want to maintain or refresh their results. If you’ve already tried BOTOX®, fillers, or lasers and are looking for something more, the Express Lift may be the next step.

Your Consultation Experience

Our signature Express Lift begins with a thorough consultation so our team can clearly understand your goals. Next, Dr. Clevens or Dr. Barbee will work in partnership with you to develop a treatment plan, combining multiple modalities to achieve the result you want.

Once we’ve finalized the details of your treatment plan, your surgeon will talk you through the experience, so you can understand exactly what to expect both during and after your procedure.

Finally, we’ll explore your pricing and financing options, before setting up your treatment date, as well as any pre- and post-procedural appointments that may be necessary. Our support team will remain available to you at every step of the process, ensuring your comfort and addressing any concerns that may arise.

How Does the Express Lift Work?

Our signature Express Lift utilizes a combination of modern advancements in aesthetic medicine, powered by radio-frequency technology, to tighten skin, remove fat, and build collagen. Your treatment plan will be customized to your specific goals by one of our facial plastic surgery specialists. The Express Lift takes about 45 to 90 minutes to perform under local anesthesia, and your recovery will only last a few days.

To ensure your comfort, our providers may offer you a numbing cream and/or local anesthesia. During the Express Lift, your doctor will utilize a radiofrequency-powered system that delivers heat via two small probes: one above the skin, and one beneath. This heat exchange, known as radio-frequency assisted lipolysis, results in dramatic skin tightening and fat reduction, all at once. 

Finally, your doctor may recommend a resurfacing treatment using RF microneedling or laser skin resurfacing to improve the quality and texture of your skin for a polished look.


Express Lift Recovery & Results

Recovery after the Express Lift is quick, with most patients returning to normal activities in just a few days. Mild swelling or bruising may occur and usually resolves within a week. You’ll see noticeable improvements immediately, with continued enhancements over three to six months as collagen production increases. Results are long-lasting, giving you a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery.

Hear From One of Our Satisfied Patients

"The staff was wonderful in preparing me for the procedure and treated me warmly throughout the process.  During the procedure, I experienced no discomfort and was relaxed the entire time. The doctor even took the time to check in verbally with me to make sure I was comfortable and doing okay while performing the procedure. I experienced no discomfort or pain, but did have some swelling after for about 1 to 2 weeks, which they had prepared me for, and was able to go back to work in just a few days.  Overall, the healing process has been very easy and I am very pleased with my result thus far and continue to see improvements every day!"
