What is face lifting and why is it important?
Facelift, or face lifting, has become a popular treatment in aesthetic medicine due to its remarkable results in restoring a youthful appearance. As we age, our skin loses elasticity, wrinkles and sagging appear, and facial contours gradually weaken. However, face lifting treatments offer an effective way to slow down these processes and restore firmness and tone to the facial skin.
Unlike surgical procedures, modern face lifting techniques allow for achieving a natural, tightened look without the need for a scalpel. At the In Locco Physio and Aesthetic Center, we use the latest technologies and approaches to provide you with a safe and effective way to refresh your appearance, improve skin tone, and reduce the visibility of wrinkles — all with minimal invasiveness and quick recovery.
How does aging affect facial skin and what happens to our tissues?
Aging is a natural process that everyone goes through, and when it comes to facial skin, this process gradually becomes more noticeable. As the years pass, the skin loses its natural elasticity and moisture, leading to changes in the skin’s structure and appearance. These changes are most evident on the face because facial skin is thinner and more sensitive, while also being more exposed to external factors such as sun exposure, pollution, and stress.
Here’s what exactly happens to the skin and tissues of the face during aging:
Decreased production of collagen and elastin: Collagen and elastin are proteins responsible for the firmness, elasticity, and flexibility of the skin. As we age, their production slows down, causing the skin to become looser and prone to wrinkles and fine lines.
Increased skin dryness: Over the years, the natural oils and moisture reserves in the skin diminish, which can lead to dryness, tightness, and loss of radiance. Dry skin is more susceptible to irritation and faster wrinkle formation.
Loss of volume: With age, the facial skin also loses volume due to a reduction in subcutaneous fat tissue. This can make the skin appear saggy, especially around the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Reduced microcirculation: Blood flow to the skin decreases with age, meaning the skin receives less nutrients and oxygen necessary for its health. This reduced microcirculation can cause loss of freshness and skin tone.
Weakening of muscles and connective tissue: Facial skin is not directly attached to the bones but supported by muscles and connective tissues that form a firm foundation. Over time, these muscles and connective fibers lose their strength and elasticity, leading to skin sagging and shifting of facial contours.
Aging thus affects all layers of the skin and tissues, with effects especially visible on the face, as facial skin gradually loses its ability to maintain tone and tightness. However, modern face lifting treatments, like those offered at the Fizio i Estetik center In Locco, can help restore skin structure, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and bring back the skin’s natural appearance and vitality.
Non-surgical face lifting at the Fizio and Estetik Center In Locco
Many people want to improve the appearance of their face but fear invasive surgical procedures, long recovery times, and possible complications. Fortunately, modern medicine offers numerous non-surgical treatments that can effectively rejuvenate the skin, reduce wrinkles, and tighten the face without the need for a scalpel. At the Fizio and Estetik Center In Locco, we use the latest technologies and approaches to achieve outstanding results that restore a youthful look with minimal invasiveness and quick recovery.
Here are some of the most effective face tightening treatments available at our center:
Exilis Elite 360 is an advanced system for non-invasive body contouring, fat reduction, and skin rejuvenation. It uses radiofrequency technology combined with ultrasound to stimulate the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The main goals of the treatment are to improve body contours, reduce fat deposits, and increase skin elasticity.
How it works: Exilis Elite 360 uses patented technology that combines radiofrequency and ultrasonic waves. Radiofrequency waves penetrate the skin and heat the subcutaneous tissue, stimulating collagen production and destroying fat cells. Ultrasonic waves help the energy penetrate deeper into the skin and fat tissue. The therapy is painless and requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking results without surgery.
Results: Improvements in skin texture, increased firmness, and reduction in body circumference can be noticed after just a few treatments. The treatment is especially effective on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and double chin. Usually, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended. Results are long-lasting, but occasional maintenance sessions may be suggested to preserve the effect.
Compared to other body contouring methods, Exilis Elite 360 delivers faster results without the risk of complications, making it a popular option.

When is it time for a face lifting?
As we age, the skin on our face naturally changes—it becomes looser, wrinkles appear, and facial contours lose their firm tone. This is a completely natural process, but many people want to regain a youthful appearance, feel better in their bodies, and improve their skin’s tone once again. That’s when treatments like face lifting are often considered, as they can provide excellent results in restoring firmness and revitalizing the facial appearance without the need for invasive surgical interventions.
Some of the most common reasons people choose non-surgical face lifting treatments include:
Appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
One of the most common reasons people opt for face lifting treatments is the appearance of wrinkles that deepen over time. The delicate skin around the eyes, forehead, and mouth often shows signs of aging first. When these wrinkles become more pronounced and the skin starts to lose its youthful tone, many decide to invest in treatments that reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate their look.
Sagging facial skin
Over the years, the skin loses collagen and elastin—proteins responsible for skin’s elasticity and firmness. This can result in sagging skin, especially around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Sagging skin can make the face look tired, older, and less vibrant. Face lifting treatments help restore tone and rejuvenate the skin, making the face appear visibly firmer and younger.
Loss of volume
As we age, subcutaneous fat decreases, which can cause skin to sag and volume to reduce, especially around the cheeks and jawline. This leads to a loss of facial contour definition, sagging areas, and accentuation of aging signs. Treatments like hyaluronic acid injections or radiofrequency can restore volume and shape, bringing back the face’s natural symmetry.
Deepening lines on the neck and around the eyes
The skin on the neck is particularly prone to sagging, and with age, horizontal lines or “neck bands” often become visible. Fine lines and bags around the eyes also become more noticeable. Face lifting treatments can target these areas as well, reducing deep lines and restoring a youthful appearance.
Desire for rejuvenation without invasive procedures
For many, surgical face lifting is too invasive, so they choose non-surgical treatments that offer similar results with minimal risk, faster recovery, and a more natural look. Non-invasive face lifting treatments, such as radiofrequency, HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), or hyaluronic fillers, have become popular choices because they provide long-lasting results without the need for a scalpel.
Poor skin tone due to stress or unhealthy lifestyle habits
Stress, poor nutrition, smoking, and sun exposure can accelerate skin aging. People who notice loss of skin tone or wrinkle formation due to stress or other negative lifestyle factors often turn to face lifting treatments to restore natural vitality and refresh their appearance.
Preparation for special occasions
Face lifting treatments are also popular as a “preparation” for special events such as weddings, celebrations, or important social gatherings. Faces that have undergone lifting treatments tend to look fresher and healthier, boosting confidence and helping people feel better about their appearance.
How Face Lifting Treatments Affect Your Skin: Benefits and Long-Term Results
Face lifting treatments have become an essential part of modern aesthetics, offering a youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgical procedures. These treatments not only improve the external appearance of the skin but also provide many long-term benefits that contribute to skin health and regeneration. At the Fizio i Estetik Center In Locco, we use the latest technologies and treatments that stimulate natural processes within the skin, delivering lasting results and visible improvements.
Stimulate Collagen and Elastin Production
One of the most important effects of face lifting treatments is the stimulation of collagen and elastin production—two key proteins responsible for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and youthfulness. Through treatments such as radiofrequency, HIFU, or mesotherapy, the deeper layers of the skin are stimulated, activating natural regeneration processes. This results in skin tightening and wrinkle reduction, especially noticeable in areas prone to sagging like the lower jawline, cheeks, and neck.
Improve Skin Tone and Texture
Face lifting treatments not only reduce wrinkles but also enhance the overall tone and texture of the skin. By stimulating circulation and cellular renewal, the skin becomes more even, smooth, and firm. Additionally, treatments like chemical peels or microneedling help remove dead skin cells from the surface, resulting in a fresh and radiant complexion.
Reduce Signs of Aging
A primary reason people opt for face lifting treatments is to diminish visible signs of aging. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin are the first indicators of aging that appear on the face. Face lifting treatments activate skin renewal, making it firmer and smoother. These treatments are effective in reducing deep wrinkles and restoring the skin’s freshness and vitality, achieving a youthful appearance.
Long-Term Rejuvenation Effects
Although the effects of face lifting treatments are immediately visible, the true benefits often develop over weeks and months after the procedure. The skin continues to renew and regenerate, meaning results become increasingly noticeable over time. For example, treatments like HIFU or radiofrequency trigger collagen production that continues after the session, resulting in long-lasting improvements in skin tone and firmness.
No Surgery, No Long Recovery
One of the greatest benefits of face lifting treatments is that they are completely non-invasive, meaning no surgical procedures, lengthy operations, or painful recoveries are needed. These treatments are quick to perform and usually require only one to two days of downtime, allowing you to immediately resume your daily activities. This makes them an ideal solution for those seeking a youthful look without the extended recovery period often associated with surgical facelifts.
Natural and Safe Appearance
Unlike invasive procedures, face lifting treatments at Fizio i Estetik Center In Locco harness the skin’s natural regeneration processes. This means treatment results look natural and safe, without unwanted side effects. The skin is rejuvenated in harmony with its own structure and needs, avoiding the unnatural appearance sometimes seen after surgical interventions.
Boosts Self-Confidence
As a result of the achieved improvements, many clients who opt for face lifting treatments report increased self-confidence. Skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and improved tone allow clients to feel better in their own skin, positively impacting their daily lives and interactions with others. A youthful look and vitality not only enhance physical appearance but also mental well-being by increasing feelings of satisfaction and inner beauty.
Recovery and post-treatment care – How to maintain results and ensure long-lasting effects
After a face lifting treatment, it is important to follow certain guidelines to ensure maximum results and long-lasting effects. Although our treatments are non-invasive and require minimal recovery time, proper post-treatment care plays a key role in maintaining results and improving skin condition. At Fizio and Estetik Center In Locco, we provide not only effective treatments but also comprehensive advice on how to care for your skin after the procedure.
Rest and Avoid Direct Sunlight
One of the basic recommendations after treatment is to avoid direct exposure to sunlight, especially during the first few days. Sun exposure can negatively affect the treated skin, increasing the risk of burns, irritation, or hyperpigmentation. It is advised to use high SPF sunscreen when outdoors and wear protective accessories such as hats or sunglasses.
Skin Hydration
Your skin may be drier than usual after treatment, so regular hydration is essential. Use moisturizers rich in vitamins and nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or peptides, which help restore and retain moisture. We recommend applying the cream morning and evening to ensure optimal hydration and improve skin elasticity.
Avoid Intense Physical Activity
In the first few days after treatment, avoid strenuous physical activities that can cause sweating or excessive facial muscle strain. Excessive sweating can negatively impact skin regeneration. Light activity is recommended until the skin stabilizes, allowing for faster recovery and better treatment outcomes.
Maintain a Healthy Diet
Your diet also plays a crucial role in preserving the results of face lifting treatments. Foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins (especially C and E), omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals such as zinc and magnesium help accelerate skin regeneration. Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from within and maintain a healthy appearance. Incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and fish into your meals.
Use Recommended Skincare Products
To maintain long-term results, we recommend using cosmetic products selected by our expert team based on your individual needs. These products usually contain ingredients that aid skin regeneration, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cell renewal. Incorporating them into your daily routine will help continue improvements after treatment completion.
Regular Treatments and Consultations with Experts
For lasting effects, regular maintenance and possible additional treatments are recommended. Based on your individual needs, our team at Fizio and Estetik Center In Locco may suggest a treatment series to further enhance results. Ongoing check-ups and consultations help monitor progress and adjust care as necessary.
Patience and Gradual Results
Patience is key in post-treatment care. While you may notice improvements immediately, the full and lasting effects often become visible weeks or months later. The skin regenerates gradually, and tightening effects become more pronounced over time.
At Fizio and Estetik Center In Locco, our goal is to provide you not only with effective treatments but also with comprehensive post-treatment care to achieve the best possible results. With proper post-treatment care, your skin will maintain a youthful appearance and vitality, and you will enjoy the long-lasting effects of our face lifting treatments.
