What is a minimally surgical Face / Neck Lift?
A minimally invasive face or neck lift is a modern cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the face / neck with less downtime, scarring, and risk than traditional surgical facelifts. While a facelift (rhytidectomy) remains the gold standard for dramatic skin tightening and repositioning of deeper facial tissues, many clients today are seeking a gentler, technology-driven alternative that delivers meaningful improvement without incisions, general anaesthesia or extended recovery.
That’s where Quantum RF comes in.
Quantum RF
Quantum RF is a non-invasive bipolar radiofrequency treatment that delivers uniform heat to the deeper dermal layers of the skin. This heat triggers collagen contraction and new collagen formation, tightening the skin and improving its overall tone, elasticity, and contour - all without breaking the surface.
There are no incisions, sutures, or scars, and treatment takes about 30–60 minutes with minimal redness or swelling afterwards.
Unlike traditional liposuction, which mechanically removes fat through suction, RF-assisted fat coagulation is gentler and more precise. It’s particularly effective for smaller, localised fat pockets such as:
Jowls and jawline definition
Submental (under-chin) fullness
Nasolabial or marionette areas
Small body zones like the bra roll, upper arms, or knees
The result is a refined contour and firmer skin, achieved through controlled thermal sculpting rather than invasive removal.
Why choose Quantum RF over surgery?
Quantum RF delivers natural skin tightening with minimal downtime and or scars, letting you refresh your skin without visible recovery. Results develop gradually as collagen remodels, preserving natural contours. The treatment is customisable for the face, neck, and body, and can be paired with Morpheus8 for enhanced rejuvenation. It’s safe to repeat for ongoing collagen stimulation—ideal for clients in their 30s to 50s seeking early tightening or to delay surgery.
When surgery may be more appropriate
For individuals with advanced skin laxity, pronounced jowling, or substantial tissue descent, a surgical facelift may still provide the most effective and comprehensive correction by repositioning deeper structures and removing excess skin.
However, many clients opt to begin with Quantum RF as a proactive approach - strengthening collagen, improving skin quality, and often delaying or minimising the need for future surgical intervention.

Combining Quantum RF with Morpheus8 - Advanced collagen stimulation
Quantum RF and Morpheus8 are two of the most powerful skin-tightening and rejuvenation technologies available today — and when used together, they deliver complementary results that are greater than either treatment alone.
How they work together
Quantum RF is a non-invasive, bipolar radiofrequency treatment that heats the skin’s dermal layer evenly from the surface, improving overall tone, firmness, and elasticity.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with fractional RF energy, delivering heat through fine needles to deeper layers of the dermis and subdermis. This remodels collagen, smooths lines, and refines texture from within.
When combined, Quantum RF enhances superficial tightening and glow, while Morpheus8 rebuilds deeper collagen and addresses texture, scars, and laxity at a structural level.
Benefits of combining treatments
Comprehensive rejuvenation: Targets all layers of the skin — surface, mid-dermis, and deep connective tissue.
Enhanced collagen production: Dual-depth stimulation accelerates collagen and elastin remodelling for longer-lasting firmness.
Improved texture and tone: Morpheus8 refines pores, scars, and fine lines while Quantum RF boosts surface smoothness and radiance.
Progressive, natural results: The combination produces gradual tightening and skin quality improvement without an over-treated look.
Personalised sequencing: Treatments can be performed in the same session or staged several weeks apart, depending on skin sensitivity and goals.
Quantum RF FAQ’s
What areas can be treated?
Quantum RF can be safely used on the face, neck, and body, including the jawline, cheeks, under-chin area, décolletage, abdomen, upper arms, and above the knees.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients describe Quantum RF as comfortable. You may feel a gentle warmth or mild heat during treatment. A local anaesthetic injections is applied before the treatment.
When will I see results?
Some clients notice a subtle lift after the first session. Collagen production continues over the following 8–12 weeks, with full tightening and textural improvements becoming visible around 3–6 months.
How does RF energy break down fat?
RF energy gently heats the targeted area beneath the skin. The heat damages fat cell membranes, causing them to liquefy or be reabsorbed by the body’s natural metabolic processes. Over time, this results in a smoother, slimmer contour with tighter skin.
Is RF fat reduction the same as liposuction?
No. RF-assisted fat coagulation is non-surgical and gentler than liposuction. Instead of suctioning fat out mechanically, it uses heat to shrink, liquefy, and tighten targeted fat and tissue. It’s best suited for smaller, localised pockets rather than large-volume fat removal.
Does fat coagulation mean fat is permanently removed?
Yes — once fat cells are destroyed and cleared from the body, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining results depends on a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, as remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain.
What are the most common side effects?
Mild and temporary effects are normal after treatment. You may experience:
Slight redness or warmth for a few hours
Swelling or puffiness lasting 1–7 days
Mild tenderness or tightness as collagen contracts
Occasional bruising or firmness at treatment points. These are expected signs of the skin’s healing and collagen-remodelling process.
Can RF treatments cause burns?
This is extremely rare. Our devices feature real-time temperature monitoring to maintain safe, even heating and prevent overheating. Our practitioners are trained to continuously adjust energy levels for your comfort and safety.
