Have you reached the point where good skincare still isn't enough — where jowls, a softening jawline, or crepey skin along the neck don't respond to creams the way they used to? For a long time, the only real fix for that kind of laxity was a surgical facelift, with its incisions, anaesthetic, and weeks of recovery. That's no longer the case. At our Edmonton clinic, we use non-surgical, energy-based technology to volumize, lift, and tighten the face and neck — no scalpel, no needles, and no extended time away from your life.
The most natural-looking results don't come from a single machine, though. They come from treating the face the way it actually ages: in layers. By combining Everesse RF, a radiofrequency device that firms, tightens, and restores soft fullness through the dermis, with Ultraformer MPT, a focused-ultrasound device that lifts deep within the skin's support structure, we address both the surface quality and the deep foundation of your skin in one plan. This is the thinking behind a modern non-surgical facelift in Edmonton.
Individual results vary. Consultation required to determine suitability.
Why a Layered Approach Lifts Better
A convincing lift isn't just about tightening the surface of the skin. Underneath, your face is held up by a deeper structural layer called the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system). As this layer and its surrounding tissue lose tension — and as the dermis above it loses collagen and volume — the result is the drooping, jowling, and loss of definition most people start to notice from their late thirties onward.
That's why we don't rely on one energy source. Everesse RF works through the dermis to firm, tighten, and re-volumize the skin, while Ultraformer MPT reaches down to the deeper foundational layers to create a genuine lifting effect. One firms and refills the surface layers; the other rebuilds the scaffolding underneath. Together, they cover more of the aging picture than either could alone.
Everesse RF: Volumize, Firm & Tighten — No Needles
Everesse is a non-invasive monopolar radiofrequency device that delivers precisely controlled 6.78 MHz energy into both the upper and deeper layers of the dermis at once — while protecting the surface of the skin. That gentle, deep warmth does two things: it causes existing collagen to contract for an immediate firming and lifting effect, and it prompts your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin over the weeks that follow.
- Lift & tighten: Firms lax skin and helps redefine the jawline, lower face, neck, and the area around the eyes.
- Restores soft volume: By reactivating your own collagen, Everesse can bring back gentle fullness and definition — a natural option for those who'd rather avoid injectables.
- Comfort by design: A continuous water-cooling system keeps the skin's surface comfortable while the energy works deep, so most people need no numbing and describe the feeling as a warm, relaxing massage.
- No downtime: You may see mild, short-lived redness or warmth, but you can return to your day right away.
Ultraformer MPT: The Deep Lift
Where Everesse firms and re-volumizes the dermis, Ultraformer MPT does the deep structural work. It uses micro- and macro-focused ultrasound (MMFU) to deliver controlled heat to specific depths beneath the skin — including the SMAS layer a surgeon would tighten during a facelift. Because the energy is focused, it bypasses the surface and concentrates exactly where structural support has weakened.
- Targeted depth: Focused ultrasound creates tiny, controlled heating points at the precise levels where the skin's support structure sits.
- Immediate tightening: That heat prompts the deeper tissue to contract, which begins the lifting effect right away.
- Long-term collagen: Over the following weeks and months, your body produces fresh collagen, so results continue to build gradually rather than appearing overnight.
It's especially effective for softening jowls, redefining the jawline, and lifting the mid-face — with minimal downtime.
Better Together: How the Two Work as One Plan
Think of Ultraformer MPT as the architect rebuilding the deep framework, and Everesse RF as the work that firms, tightens, and re-volumizes everything above it. Used within a single tailored plan, they deliver both structural lift and refined skin quality — without the pulled, over-tightened look people worry about with surgery, and without a single needle.
Areas This Combination Can Address
- Jowls & jawline: Ultraformer targets the deeper laxity behind sagging jowls while Everesse firms the skin above, for a cleaner, more defined jawline.
- Cheeks & mid-face: Both devices encourage collagen renewal to help restore youthful support, lift, and soft volume through the cheeks.
- Neck & décolleté: Effective for tightening loose skin on the neck and softening crepey texture below the chin.
- Brow & eye area: Focused energy along the upper face can create a subtle, natural brow lift and refresh the eye area.
Individual results vary.
What to Expect & How to Prepare
These are non-surgical treatments, but they're still medical procedures — a little preparation goes a long way. In the days beforehand, your provider will usually ask you to keep skin healthy and calm by pausing strong actives (like retinoids and acid exfoliants) and avoiding sunburn or fresh tans. We'll give you specific instructions at your consultation.
- Everesse RF: Thanks to continuous water cooling, most people find it genuinely comfortable — a warm, pulsing heat, usually with no numbing needed. Expect little more than brief, mild redness, and you can head straight back to your day.
- Ultraformer MPT: You'll feel short pulses of deep warmth as the energy reaches its target depth — a sign it's working. Most facial treatments take under an hour, with little more than temporary redness or tingling afterward.
- Building results: Because both treatments rely on your body's own collagen renewal, the fullest results develop gradually over the following weeks and months. Each is often recommended as a short series of sessions, and your plan will be mapped out for you.
These treatments are an excellent option for mild to moderate laxity. For very advanced sagging, they may not fully replace surgery — and we'll always tell you honestly what's realistic for your skin.

Is a Non-Surgical Facelift Right for You?
This combination tends to be a great fit if you're noticing early-to-moderate sagging, a less defined jawline, or crepey texture, and you want a meaningful improvement without surgery, needles, or downtime. Both technologies are non-invasive and suitable across a wide range of skin types and tones, and Everesse is FDA- and Health Canada–cleared. The best way to know whether Everesse RF, Ultraformer MPT, or a combination of both suits your goals is a personalized assessment — that's where every plan at Aspen Aesthetics begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a non-surgical facelift painful?
Most clients tolerate both treatments well. Everesse is kept comfortable by continuous water cooling and usually needs no numbing, while Ultraformer MPT feels like brief pulses of deep warmth.
Is this an alternative to filler?
For some concerns, yes. Because Everesse restores soft fullness by reactivating your own collagen, it's a popular option for those who want lift and volume without injectables.
How long until I see results?
You may notice some immediate tightening, but the main results build gradually over several weeks and months as your skin produces new collagen.
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting but not permanent, since your skin keeps aging naturally. Many clients maintain their results with periodic maintenance sessions.
Is there any downtime?
Very little. Everesse may cause brief, mild redness or warmth; Ultraformer MPT may leave temporary redness or tingling. Most people resume normal activities right away.
