Face lift procedures aim to tighten your skin and provide a subtle lift to counteract some of the natural collagen loss and skin laxity you experience with age. Naturopathic physician Jake Schmutz, NMD, and the team at Integrative Medica Spa in Salt Lake City, Utah, provide face lifts without surgery, prioritizing state-of-the-art collagen-inducing treatments like Morpheus8 instead.

A natural face lift works by increasing supportive collagen fibers in your face and jaw. Face lifting procedures can elevate and tighten the skin on your face to provide a more youthful appearance with fewer (or shallower) wrinkles.
Using the state-of-the-art face lift procedures at Integrative Medica Spa, you can:
- Reduce marionette lines
- Reduce smile lines
- Define your jawline by reducing jowls
- Achieve a less tired appearance
A surgical face lift offers dramatic results, but many people prefer nonsurgical facelifts because their results look more natural. The procedures are also safer, sparing you from lengthy recovery time, postoperative bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia.
Which procedures are used for a natural face lift?
Integrative Medica Spa provides natural face lift procedures that work by stimulating collagen and elastin growth in your face. You can find these fibers in all of your body’s tissues, providing them with structure, firmness, and elasticity. Getting older means having less collagen and elastin, which leads to age-related changes, such as wrinkles, lines, and sagging.
The team at Integrative Medica Spa may perform your face lift using Morpheus8 microneedling, an advanced procedure that induces collagen growth using two mechanisms:
Microneedling
Microneedling is also called collagen induction therapy because of its effectiveness in increasing collagen growth. Tiny needles penetrate your skin at shallow depths to trigger the natural healing process, which heavily relies on collagen and elastin growth.
Radiofrequency (RF) energy
RF energy travels through the microneedles to warm your skin and tissues. This magnifies the healing process for greater collagen and elastin production and skin tightening.
How long do the results of a natural face lift last?
Morpheus8 results can last for a substantial time because they involve natural collagen and elastin. These fibers will eventually weaken just as all collagen and elastin does, but it takes time.
It takes three to four weeks for you to see the complete results of your Morpheus8 treatments, and you’ll likely require several sessions to get the results you want. Most people enjoy their results for one to three years and can maintain them by minimizing sun exposure, wearing sunscreen, and avoiding smoking.
