Ultherapy (focused ultrasound)

TGA-approved focused ultrasound; brow-lifting effect; targets the deeper structural layer; typically one session of 60–90 minutes

Pixel RF microneedling

Fractional microneedling with RF energy for fine lines, crepiness and texture improvement around the eye area; 2–4 sessions

Best suited to

Earlier-stage laxity and skin changes not yet requiring surgery; patients who prefer a non-surgical approach; post-surgical maintenance

Facelift surgery (for comprehensive rejuvenation); blepharoplasty aftercare; other non-surgical facial treatments

Downtime

Minimal to none for Viora and Ultherapy; mild redness and swelling for 1–2 days for Pixel RF microneedling

Non-surgical eye rejuvenation is most effective at the earlier end of the ageing spectrum — where skin laxity and brow changes are present but not yet significant enough to require surgical removal of excess tissue. Your clinician will advise honestly on which approach, if any, is most appropriate for your individual concerns.

Surgery may be more appropriate if you have

Significant excess upper eyelid skin Under-eye fat pads requiring removal Changes affecting vision

Non-Surgical Eye Rejuvenation at Aesthetica

This page covers the non-surgical treatment options available at Aesthetica Image Centre for concerns around the upper and lower eyelids, including skin laxity, heaviness, fine lines, and brow position. These treatments are an alternative to — or complement for — blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), depending on the nature and extent of the changes involved.

For information about surgical blepharoplasty at Aesthetica, see our main eyelid surgery page.

What Non-Surgical Eye Lift Treatments Can Address

Non-surgical eye lift and rejuvenation is most effective at the earlier end of the ageing spectrum — where changes are present but the skin has not yet developed the degree of excess or laxity that requires surgical removal. Treatments may assist with:

  • Mild to moderate upper eyelid skin laxity or crepiness
  • Softening of the brow, contributing to a heavier appearance over the eyes
  • Fine lines and skin texture concerns around the upper and lower lids
  • Early lower eyelid skin changes, where fat pads have not yet significantly descended
  • Maintenance of results following blepharoplasty surgery

Important: Non-surgical treatments cannot remove excess skin, address significant fat pad descent beneath the eyes, or lift the brow to the extent that surgery can. Where these changes are present, blepharoplasty or a combined surgical approach may be more appropriate. Your clinician will advise honestly on this at consultation.

Treatments Available at Aesthetica

Three treatment modalities are available at Aesthetica Image Centre for non-surgical eye rejuvenation, each suited to different concerns and stages of change. They can be used individually or as part of a combined treatment plan.

Viora V-ST — Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

The Viora V-ST uses advanced radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and gradual firmness improvement around the eyelid and brow area. It is well suited to mild to moderate skin laxity and is performed by our qualified Dermal Clinician. Sessions are typically 30–60 minutes, with a course of 3–6 treatments recommended, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to target the same structural layer addressed in a brow lift — stimulating collagen production at depth and producing a gradual lifting effect on the brow and upper eyelid area. It is a TGA-approved treatment delivered in a single session of 60–90 minutes, with results developing gradually over 2–6 months. Ultherapy is particularly suited to patients seeking a measurable brow-lifting effect without surgery or downtime.

Pixel RF microneedling combines fractional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to improve skin texture, crepiness, and fine lines in the delicate skin around the eyes. It is not a skin-tightening treatment in the same sense as Viora or Ultherapy, but addresses skin quality concerns that often accompany laxity changes. A course of 2–4 sessions is typically recommended, spaced 4 weeks apart.

Who Is Most Suited to Non-Surgical Eye Lift Treatments?

Non-surgical eye lift rejuvenation is most appropriate for patients who:

  • Have earlier-stage laxity or brow changes that do not yet require surgical correction
  • Prefer a non-surgical approach and have realistic expectations about what it can achieve
  • Have previously had blepharoplasty and wish to maintain results over time
  • Are exploring options before deciding whether to proceed with surgery
  • Want to address skin quality and texture concerns around the eyes alongside other treatments

A consultation is the appropriate starting point — your clinician will assess your individual anatomy and advise on which treatment, or combination of treatments, may be suitable, and whether a surgical opinion from Dr Tony Prochazka is worth exploring alongside.

Can Non-Surgical Eye Treatments Be Combined With Surgery?

Yes — and in some cases this is a particularly effective approach:

  • With facelift surgery: Patients having a facelift at Aesthetica sometimes combine this with non-surgical eye rejuvenation — addressing the upper face without a second surgical procedure. Ultherapy or Viora V-ST around the eye and brow area can complement the structural work of a facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
  • After blepharoplasty: Following eyelid surgery, non-surgical treatments can support ongoing skin quality and help maintain results as the ageing process continues. This is something your clinician can discuss at follow-up visits.
  • Before considering surgery: For patients not yet ready to commit to blepharoplasty, a course of non-surgical treatment may be a useful first step — providing some improvement while the decision about surgery is considered over time.

When Surgery Is the Better Option

Non-surgical treatments work best when changes are mild to moderate. If any of the following apply, blepharoplasty surgery is likely to be more appropriate:

  • Significant excess skin overhanging the upper eyelid crease
  • Visible fat pads or puffiness beneath the lower eyes that have descended significantly
  • Changes that are affecting vision or peripheral sight
  • Previous non-surgical treatments that have not produced adequate improvement

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about non-surgical eye rejuvenation at Aesthetica Image Centre, Armadale Melbourne.

A non-surgical eye lift refers to a range of treatment modalities — including radiofrequency skin tightening, focused ultrasound, and RF microneedling — that address skin laxity, brow position, and skin quality around the upper and lower eyelids without incisions or anaesthesia. Unlike surgical blepharoplasty, these treatments work by stimulating collagen production and gradual skin tightening rather than physically removing tissue.

Aesthetica Image Centre offers Viora V-ST radiofrequency skin tightening, Ultherapy (TGA-approved focused ultrasound with a brow-lifting effect), and Pixel RF microneedling for skin texture and fine lines around the eye area. Each addresses slightly different concerns, and a combination approach may be recommended depending on your individual assessment.

Non-surgical eye rejuvenation is most appropriate for patients with earlier-stage changes — mild to moderate skin laxity, a softening of the brow, fine lines, or crepiness around the eyelids — that do not yet require surgical correction. It is also well suited to patients who prefer a non-surgical approach and have realistic expectations, and to those who have previously had blepharoplasty and wish to maintain results over time.

Yes. Non-surgical eye rejuvenation can complement facelift surgery for patients wanting comprehensive facial rejuvenation without a second surgical procedure. It can also be used following blepharoplasty to support ongoing skin quality and help maintain results over time. Your clinician will discuss the most appropriate sequence and combination at consultation.

Surgical blepharoplasty is likely to be more appropriate where there is significant excess skin overhanging the upper eyelid crease, visible fat pads beneath the lower eyes that have descended considerably, or changes affecting vision or peripheral sight. Non-surgical treatments work best at the earlier end of the spectrum — they cannot remove excess skin or address more advanced structural changes.

Results vary depending on the treatment used, the individual's skin condition, and the natural ageing process. Viora V-ST results may last up to a year with maintenance treatments; Ultherapy results typically develop over 2–6 months and may last 1–2 years; Pixel RF microneedling results develop over 1–3 months. As the ageing process continues, periodic maintenance is generally recommended to sustain improvement.
