Your Guide to Non-Surgical Treatments at Transform | Transform Surgical Center

Not every patient is looking for surgery. Sometimes the goal is to refresh rather than reconstruct. At Transform Surgical Center in Beverly Hills, we offer a full range of non-surgical treatments. These are designed to address everything from fine lines and skin laxity to volume loss and uneven texture.

Non-surgical options have come a long way. Today’s treatments are clinically advanced and capable of delivering results that were once only achievable in the operating room. The key is knowing which treatment is right for your goals and your skin.

This guide walks you through every non-surgical treatment we offer at Transform. You will find out what each one does, who it is best suited to, and what kind of results you can expect.

What Are Non-Surgical Treatments?

Non-surgical treatments are medical aesthetic procedures performed without incisions or general anesthesia. They are carried out by qualified practitioners using injectable products, energy-based devices, or biostimulatory compounds.

Most treatments take between 30 and 90 minutes. Downtime is minimal to none, depending on the procedure. Results build over time, and a course of treatments is often recommended for the best outcome.

Non-surgical treatments are not a substitute for surgery in every case. However, for patients with mild to moderate concerns, they can deliver meaningful improvements. For surgical patients, they are often used to enhance and maintain results long-term.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments in the world. At Transform, they are used to relax the muscles responsible for dynamic facial lines. These are the lines that form when you frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows. Learn more on our anti-wrinkle injections page.

How They Work

A small amount of purified protein is injected into targeted muscles. The muscle activity is temporarily reduced. This softens existing lines and prevents new ones from forming.

Treatment Areas

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the brows
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Brow lifting
• Lip lines and lip flip
• Jawline slimming and teeth grinding (bruxism)

What to Expect

Treatment takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Results begin to appear within three to five days. Full results are visible at two weeks. The effects typically last three to four months. Regular treatment can extend the duration over time.

Who Is It For?

Anti-wrinkle injections suit patients who want to soften facial lines without surgery. They are also used as a preventative measure by younger patients who want to slow the formation of deeper lines.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers restore volume, define facial contours, and smooth deeper lines that anti-wrinkle injections cannot address. At Transform, our practitioners use a range of premium filler products tailored to each area of the face. Explore our dermal fillers treatments to see what is available.

How They Work

Fillers are injectable gels, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid. They are placed under the skin to add volume or definition. Different thicknesses of filler are used for different areas of the face.

Treatment Areas

• Lips: volume, shape, and definition
• Cheeks: volume restoration and lifting
• Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
• Under-eye hollows (tear trough)
• Jawline and chin definition
• Temple hollowing

What to Expect

Treatment takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Results are immediate. Some swelling and bruising can occur in the first 48 hours. Final results are visible at two weeks. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last between 9 and 18 months, depending on the area treated.

Who Is It For?

Dermal fillers are well suited to patients experiencing volume loss, facial asymmetry, or deeper lines. They work across a wide age range and can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with anti-wrinkle injections.

HIFU Skin Tightening

HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is one of the most effective non-surgical skin tightening treatments available. At Transform, HIFU is used to lift and firm areas of the face and neck that have lost their youthful definition. Find out more on our HIFU skin tightening page.

How It Works

HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin’s structural layers. This stimulates the production of new collagen. The result is a gradual lifting and tightening of the treated area over the following three to six months.

Treatment Areas

• Brow and upper face lifting
• Jowl and lower face tightening
• Neck laxity
• Decolletage

What to Expect

A single HIFU session typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes. There is no downtime. Some patients experience mild redness or tenderness immediately after treatment. Results develop gradually as collagen production increases. Peak results are usually seen at three months.

Who Is It For?

HIFU is ideal for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. It is also used by surgical patients to maintain their results between procedures.

Profhilo

Profhilo is a bio-remodeling injectable that is quite different from a traditional filler. It does not add volume or define contours. Instead, it works by deeply hydrating the skin from within and stimulating collagen and elastin production. Discover what Profhilo can do for your skin on our Profhilo treatment page.

How It Works

Profhilo contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. It is injected at five specific points on each side of the face. The product spreads through the tissue, delivering intense hydration and triggering the skin’s natural remodeling response.

What to Expect

The initial course consists of two treatments, four weeks apart. Each session takes around 30 minutes. Results are visible from the first treatment, with full results apparent after the second. Most patients return for a maintenance treatment every six months.

Who Is It For?

Profhilo suits patients who notice their skin looks dull, tired, or crepey. It is particularly effective for patients in their 40s and above who want to restore skin quality rather than add volume. It can be combined with other treatments for a more comprehensive result.

RF Microneedling

RF Microneedling combines two proven technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Together, they deliver deeper skin remodeling than either treatment achieves alone. At Transform, RF microneedling is used to address skin texture, laxity, scarring, and pore size. Read more about the treatment on our RF microneedling page.

How It Works

Fine needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Radiofrequency energy is delivered simultaneously at precise depths. This triggers collagen and elastin production throughout the dermis. The result is firmer, smoother, and more refined skin over the following weeks.

What It Treats

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Skin laxity on the face and body
• Acne scarring and surgical scars
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin texture

What to Expect

A course of three to four treatments is typically recommended. Sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart. Downtime is usually two to three days of redness and mild swelling. Results build progressively with each session and continue to improve for up to six months after the final treatment.

Who Is It For?

RF microneedling is effective across a wide range of skin concerns. It is suitable for patients who want to improve skin quality without surgery. It is also a popular choice for patients with acne scarring or those looking to maintain surgical results.

Skin Booster

Skin boosters are injectable hydration treatments that work beneath the surface of the skin. They are different from dermal fillers in that they do not add volume. Instead, they improve skin quality by delivering intense hydration directly into the dermis. Find out more on our skin booster page.

How They Work

A series of small injections delivers hyaluronic acid throughout the treatment area. The product integrates with the skin’s own tissue. This improves hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality from within.

Treatment Areas

• Face
• Neck and decolletage
• Hands
• Under-eye area

What to Expect

An initial course of two to three treatments is usually recommended. Sessions are spaced three to four weeks apart. Results build gradually and improve skin texture, glow, and plumpness. Maintenance treatments are recommended every six months.

Who Is It For?

Skin boosters are ideal for patients who notice their skin looks dehydrated, lacks radiance, or feels rough in texture. They are also used to address crepiness in the neck and hands. Skin boosters can be combined with most other aesthetic treatments.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides, also known as PDRN, are one of the most exciting developments in regenerative aesthetics. They work by stimulating cellular repair and regeneration in the skin. At Transform, we use polynucleotide treatments to address skin quality, fine lines, and delicate areas such as the under-eyes. Learn more on our polynucleotides page.

How They Work

Polynucleotides are derived from purified DNA fragments. When injected into the skin, they interact with receptors at the cellular level. This promotes tissue repair, increases collagen production, and improves skin hydration and elasticity over time.

What They Treat

• Fine lines and skin laxity
• Under-eye hollows and dark circles
• Thinning or crepey skin
• Post-procedural skin repair
• Scarring

What to Expect

A course of two to four treatments is recommended. Sessions are spaced two to four weeks apart. Results develop gradually as the skin’s repair processes are activated. Most patients see improvement in skin quality, tone, and hydration after the first two sessions.

Who Is It For?

Polynucleotides are particularly well suited to patients concerned about skin quality rather than volume. They are an excellent option for sensitive or delicate areas, including the under-eyes and neck. They can be combined with other injectables for a more comprehensive result.

CO2 Resurfacing

CO2 laser resurfacing is the most clinically powerful skin treatment we offer at Transform. It delivers significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and the appearance of fine lines and scars. Unlike most of the treatments in this guide, CO2 resurfacing does involve some downtime. The results, however, are exceptional. Read more on our CO2 resurfacing page.

How It Works

A fractional CO2 laser delivers controlled columns of energy into the skin. The outer layer is removed. Deeper layers are stimulated to produce new collagen. The skin heals with a dramatically improved surface: smoother, tighter, and more even in tone.

What It Treats

• Deep lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage and pigmentation
• Acne scarring
• Skin laxity on the face and neck
• Uneven skin texture and tone

What to Expect

CO2 resurfacing requires a period of downtime. The skin will be red and will peel over the first seven to ten days. Most patients are comfortable returning to social activities after two weeks. Results continue to improve for up to six months as new collagen matures.

Who Is It For?

CO2 resurfacing is best suited to patients with significant skin concerns who want the most impactful non-surgical result available. It is also used alongside surgical procedures to optimize skin quality before or after an operation.

Can Non-Surgical Treatments Be Combined?

Yes, and in many cases combining treatments delivers a better result than any single procedure alone. This approach is often called a liquid facelift or a treatment plan. At Transform, our practitioners take time during your consultation to understand your goals. They then design a bespoke plan that addresses each concern in the right order.

Some of the most effective combinations include:

• Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers for overall facial rejuvenation
• Profhilo or skin boosters alongside RF microneedling to improve both structure and quality
• HIFU for lifting, followed by polynucleotides for skin repair and refinement
• CO2 resurfacing to reset skin quality, then maintenance with injectables

Your practitioner will advise which treatments are appropriate to combine and in what sequence. Some treatments are best performed separately to allow the skin time to respond.

How Long Do Non-Surgical Results Last?

Results vary depending on the treatment, the individual, and their lifestyle. As a general guide:

• Anti-wrinkle injections: 3 to 4 months
• Dermal fillers: 9 to 18 months depending on the product and area
• HIFU: 12 to 18 months
• Profhilo: 6 months between maintenance treatments
• RF microneedling: results last 12 to 18 months with good skincare
• Skin boosters: 6 months between maintenance treatments
• Polynucleotides: 6 to 12 months
• CO2 resurfacing: results can last several years with good sun protection

Maintaining results is easier than reversing loss. Most patients find that regular maintenance treatments keep them looking their best year-round.

Are Non-Surgical Treatments Safe?

All medical treatments carry some degree of risk. Non-surgical aesthetic treatments are generally very safe when performed by qualified, experienced practitioners in a clinical environment.

At Transform, every patient undergoes a thorough consultation before any treatment is recommended. We review your medical history, discuss your goals, and set realistic expectations. We do not offer treatments that are not appropriate for you.

The safety of any aesthetic treatment depends significantly on the skill and training of the person performing it. Our team consists of medically trained practitioners with extensive experience in aesthetic medicine. We use only clinically approved products and equipment.

How Do You Choose the Right Non-Surgical Treatment?

The most important step is a consultation. It is difficult to make the right choice without a practitioner assessing your skin in person. What you see in the mirror and what a trained eye observes can be quite different.

That said, as a starting point:

• If your concern is dynamic lines and wrinkles, anti-wrinkle injections are usually the first step.
• If you have lost volume in the cheeks, lips, or jaw, dermal fillers are most appropriate.
• If your skin feels dehydrated and lacks glow, Profhilo or skin boosters are worth considering.
• If you have loose skin on the lower face or neck, HIFU is the most targeted option.
• If texture, pores, or scarring is your main concern, RF microneedling or CO2 resurfacing will deliver the best result.
• If you want to improve overall skin quality and repair at a cellular level, polynucleotides are an excellent choice.

Most patients benefit from a combination of treatments. A consultation at Transform will give you a clear recommendation based on your specific goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are non-surgical treatments painful?

Most treatments involve minimal discomfort. Topical anesthetic cream is applied before injectable treatments. Energy-based devices like HIFU and RF microneedling can feel warm or produce a tingling sensation. Most patients tolerate treatments very well.

How soon will I see results?

This depends on the treatment. Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers produce visible results within days. Collagen-stimulating treatments like HIFU, RF microneedling, and polynucleotides take longer. Results build over several weeks to months.

Can I have non-surgical treatments if I have had surgery?

Yes. Non-surgical treatments are regularly used alongside surgical procedures. They can optimize skin quality before surgery and help maintain results afterward. Your practitioner will advise on timing.

What is the difference between Profhilo and dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers add volume and define contours. Profhilo does not add volume. It works by deeply hydrating the skin and stimulating collagen and elastin production. They address different concerns and are often used together.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

A consultation with one of our practitioners is the best way to find out. They will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.
