As the skin moves through the next stage of ageing, collagen production gradually slows and the skin can begin to lose some of its natural firmness and elasticity. The complexion may appear less lifted, facial contours may soften, and the skin can feel thinner or more tired than before.
The Lift & Recovery Facial is designed to support the skin during this stage by stimulating natural collagen activity while restoring hydration and resilience within the skin.
Using a combination of advanced radio frequency technology and targeted nano-needling, the treatment gently stimulates the deeper layers of the skin. Radio frequency warms the dermal layers to encourage collagen renewal, while nano-needling enhances the delivery of powerful active ingredients that help support hydration, texture and overall skin vitality.
As the skin responds to this stimulation, the complexion gradually appears firmer, smoother and more lifted, with improved elasticity and a healthier, more radiant appearance.
Performed by experienced Level 4–5 skin specialists at Skinportant Clinic in Southsea, Portsmouth, this treatment forms part of our carefully developed age-based facial system, designed to support the skin through each stage of ageing and maintain long-term skin health.











Cleansing is where true skincare begins. It does far more than simply remove surface impurities — it awakens the skin and prepares it to fully benefit from everything that follows. When the skin is thoroughly yet gently cleansed, active ingredients can penetrate more effectively, allowing them to work deeper within the skin and deliver visible results.
For this step, we use a brightening facial cleanser followed by a refreshing toner to purify the skin, rebalance its natural pH and prepare it for the advanced stages of the treatment that follow.
Next, we apply a customised enzyme peel to gently resurface the skin. This step helps remove the build-up of dull, dead skin cells without the need for harsh scrubs or strong acids, making it both effective and skin-friendly.
Using bioactive enzymes that support the skin’s natural renewal process, the treatment works by loosening the bonds between old skin cells so they can be lifted away effortlessly. As these cells are removed, the complexion appears brighter, smoother and more refined, while the skin becomes better prepared to absorb the active ingredients used in the following stages of the facial.
Nano-needling is where we elevate the facial with advanced, needle-free skin infusion technology. This innovative method delivers many of the rejuvenating benefits associated with traditional microneedling — but without needles, discomfort or downtime.
Rather than puncturing the skin, the treatment creates microscopic pathways that allow powerful active ingredients to absorb far more effectively beneath the surface. These invisible channels help deliver collagen-supporting, skin-plumping serums exactly where they can make the greatest visible difference.
The result is skin that feels smoother, looks brighter and appears more refined — with improved hydration, enhanced radiance and a naturally healthy glow.
Next, we perform radio frequency skin lifting, where advanced technology is used to gently stimulate the skin from within. This non-invasive treatment delivers controlled, comforting warmth into the deeper layers of the skin.
The heat energy encourages the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin — the structural proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity. As the skin responds to this stimulation, facial contours gradually appear firmer, smoother and more refined.
Radio frequency is particularly effective for softening fine lines, improving skin tone and restoring a more lifted appearance to areas where the skin may feel less firm. Over time, the complexion becomes smoother, tighter and naturally more radiant.
Next, we apply a bio-cellulose mask designed to nourish, seal and strengthen the skin. Rich in collagen and amino acids, this mask helps lock in hydration, support elasticity and reinforce the skin’s natural protective barrier.
This is a quiet moment in the treatment where the skin begins to absorb the restorative ingredients applied during the previous stages, leaving the complexion feeling smoother, calmer and deeply nourished.
While the mask works, you can relax with a soothing scalp massage or a gentle pressure-point eye massage — a calming pause designed to help both skin and mind unwind.
Once the mask is removed, we apply a targeted eye treatment to support the delicate skin around the eyes and help soften the appearance of fine lines. The facial is then completed with protective skincare and high-protection SPF, helping shield the skin from environmental stressors such as wind, pollution and daily exposure — leaving your complexion calm, lifted and beautifully radiant.
