The Instant Face Lift is our non surgical face lift that gives predictable facial re-contouring results for an immediate face lift that typically lasts between 12 and 24 months.
The essential element of the Instant face lift
The Instant Face Lift treatment plan combines a number of Botox and dermal filler techniques to achieve the results agreed with you in your medical consultation. Everyone is unique and therefore the treatment plan varies per individual. However, every treatment plan is likely to contain one of the following facial contouring dermal fillers.
Dr Victoria Dobbie BDS will advise you at you consultation which dermal filler is best suited to your needs.
The expertise behind the face lift
Dr Dobbie is qualified as an Advanced Practitioner in Restylane Sub Q and Juvederm Voluma and can use her knowledge and skill to restore the natural balance and contours of your face. As these long lasting dermal fillers are not permanent, Victoria can alter your treatment plan to suit your face as you age, so that you always look your best whilst ageing gracefully. In Victoria's hands you need never fear the Pillow Face - as you will always look natural and appropriate for your age - whilst looking naturally youthful.
Voluma is a specialised treatment which can only be used by specially trained doctors. Victoria is one of the first doctors in the UK to specialise in Voluma and was one of only six doctors across the UK selected for a Masterclass with the world leading expert Mauricio de Miao in May 2010.

Whose products have the most research to prove safety and efficiency and endorsed by the worlds strictest regulatory body Americas Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
What can I expect during and after the treatment?
Your comfort during all of our treatments is very important to you and to us. We have a magic numbing cream, especially made for Face and Body, that works very quickly under the eyes and on lips - taking only 15 mins for your skin to be blissfully numb. For a treatment elsewhere you will need between 30 - 45 minutes. Alternatively Victoria is an expert at using local anaesthetic to give you quick and profound numbness in minutes.
After your treatment you will get some redness and inflammation which can be covered using mineral make-up. You will feel profoundly numb for several hours, so it is a good idea to go directly home. When the numbness wears off you may feel slightly uncomfortable as there will be some inflammation under your skin which may cause localised tenderness on touching, warmth and tightness, or a low grade throbbing. These symptoms may last for a few days and should not require you to take pain killers. Generally these signs are not visible although there may be a little puffiness in the area treated on close inspection.
When can I return to work or my social life?
You can continue your normal working or social routine, the day after treatment.
Will people notice?
The change can be dramatic depending on your age and amount of volume we are restoring. So it is best to discuss this with your love ones before your treatment. It may also take you a little time to adjust to a more youthful look. For a slower more subtle rejuvenation read about the Liquid Face Lift.
Where is the treatment performed?
The Instant Face Lift can be performed at any of our clinics.
Why is the Instant Face Lift better than a surgical face lift?
Restylane Sub Q and Juvederm Voluma are long lasting dermal fillers that are not permanent. Consequently Victoria can alter your treatment plan to suit your face as you age, so that you always look your best whilst ageing gracefully. Unlike surgical face lifts you will have no scarring from the treatment and there is no need for a general anaesthetic with it's associated risks.
