NeoGen Lift

NeoGen Lift is a non-surgical facelift and anti-aging practice in Suite E6 at 20331 Irvine Avenue, Newport Beach. The same suite is listed under the Aesthetics MD name, whose website describes the clinic as a premier plastic surgery and med spa clinic in Newport and shows a 5 out of 5 rating from 402 reviews. The business describes itself as offering the best non-surgical facelifts and says its team is renowned. It also says it is the only provider of its signature NeoGen Lift treatment.

The Signature Non-Surgical Facelifts begin with Lite Lift, a low-energy facial for early signs of aging, aimed at people in their 20s and 30s. It includes a CO2 Lift and involves no social downtime, and the protocol is usually repeated one to two times a year. NeoGen Lift combines multiple passes on low and high energy settings, adjusted to skin type and concerns, with a CellSound pretreatment and a CO2 Lift mask. It carries 3-5 days of social downtime. Lift Plus is a NeoGen Lift followed three months later by a NeoGen Lite Lift, typically suggested from the 50s onward. NeoGen Lift Plasma uses nitrogen plasma energy delivered by a handheld device. The site describes it as not a laser and states it is FDA-cleared. It is said to create micro-injuries in deep tissue without breaking the skin barrier and to stimulate collagen types I, II and IV. Healing takes about 5-7 days, visible changes are expected between months 3 and 6 and continuing to months 9-12, and the site says results can last up to 2 years.

A visit begins with a consultation where a provider reviews medical history and goals to decide candidacy. Cost depends on individual needs and is discussed at that appointment. A pre-treatment visit two days ahead includes photos and a 30-minute CellSound ultrasound session, which the business says is available in Orange County only at NeoGen Lift. On treatment day a topical numbing cream goes on first. Sessions run from about 30 minutes to over an hour, and a full face usually takes 45 minutes to an hour. Afterward a CO2 Lift mask and a moisturizer such as Aquaphor are applied. Patients are asked to avoid caffeine on the day and to reduce or stop alcohol three days before. A personalized plan may involve one to six sessions, sun protection is recommended to keep results, and treatments can be combined with dermal fillers or with surgical or other non-surgical procedures. The site lists pregnancy or breastfeeding, current Accutane use, certain medical conditions and prior reactions to plasma or energy treatments as contraindications.

Targeted protocols address undereye lines, crow's feet, heavy upper eyelids and sagging around the eyes, as well as lipstick lines, marionette lines and loss of lip volume. The lip protocol is three NeoGen Lite Lift treatments around the lips. Age-based protocols are listed as Lite Lift for the 20s, an Eye and Lip Lift for the 30s through 50s, Lift for the 50s and 60s, and Lift Plus for the 60s and up. The Aesthetics MD site also lists fractionated CO2 laser, Morpheus8, Sculptra, Fractora, LaseMD, microneedling and red-light facials, along with treatment for pigmentation, sun damage, age spots, uneven skin tone, active acne and existing acne scars. For darker skin tones, the practice recommends pre- and post-treatment care with hydroquinone or other bleaching agents.

The practice is open Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM, and is closed on weekends. Phone is (949) 518-0407. Financing is offered through Prosper HealthCare Lending, CareCredit and Cherry, with convenience fees applying, according to the Aesthetics MD site. The business also says it offers affordability plans, with details available by contacting the practice. The practice aims to enhance natural results and keep a natural appearance.
