What Is TriLift?
TriLift is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared facial rejuvenation treatment that leverages three powerful technologies to restore a youthful, radiant appearance. Using TriPollar Radiofrequency (RF), Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA), and TriFractional RF, TriLift works to lift, tone, and tighten the skin for a firmer, more contoured look.
-
TriPollar RF Technology: This technology targets the skin and subcutaneous tissue to stimulate collagen production, which helps tighten and lift the skin.
-
DMA Technology: By stimulating the facial muscles, DMA technology increases muscle tone and firmness, improving the overall definition of the face.
-
TriFractional RF Technology: Micro-injuries are created in the skin to boost collagen and elastin production, improving texture, reducing fine lines, and restoring youthful vitality.

What to Expect:
The TriLift treatment is quick and comfortable, with most patients experiencing little to no discomfort during the session. The treatment works in multiple layers of the skin, providing an all-in-one solution to lift, tone, and rejuvenate. Post-treatment, you may notice some mild redness, but it typically resolves within a few hours. With no downtime required, you can return to your daily activities immediately.

The Facial Aging Pyramid - Understanding the Foundation
At PM Aesthetics, we approach facial rejuvenation through the lens of structural architecture. Just as a building requires a solid foundation, your face has three critical layers that determine how you age:
Layer 1: The Foundation - Muscle (Addressed by TriLift) The deepest structural layer consists of your facial muscles - what Lumenis calls the "Glamour Muscles." These include the masseter, temporalis, zygomaticus major and minor, and orbicularis oculi. When these muscles lose tone and mass with age (sarcopenia), your entire facial structure begins to descend. Think of these as the steel beams of a building - when they weaken, everything above shifts.
TriLift's Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt™) technology is the ONLY FDA-cleared treatment that directly stimulates and tones facial muscles non-invasively. By delivering synchronized electrical pulses at specific frequencies (20-50Hz), we achieve:
-
30% increase in muscle density after 5 sessions
-
Restored muscle volume without fillers
-
Lifted cheekbones and jawline definition
-
Reduced jowling and nasolabial folds
Why Start Here: Without addressing muscle laxity, any work on superficial layers is building on an unstable foundation. It's like renovating the top floors while ignoring structural damage below.
Maximize Your Results:
The Ultimate Lift Advantage
While TriLift delivers exceptional muscle toning and immediate lifting at the foundation layer, clinical studies show that combining it with Ultherapy creates 47% greater lift than either treatment alone. The PM Ultimate Lift Package addresses all layers of the Facial Aging Pyramid simultaneously, restoring muscle foundation with TriLift, then tightening the SMAS structural layer with Ultherapy. This synergistic approach creates results lasting 18-24 months instead of 12 months with monotherapy, reducing your need for neurotoxins and fillers while building lifting from the inside out. When you invest in complete structural rejuvenation rather than isolated treatments, your face ages naturally instead of requiring constant maintenance.
TriLift's Complete Protocol:
DMSt™ + RF Microneedling + Exosomes
What most patients don't realize is that TriLift delivers three distinct modalities in a single full-face-and-neck session, each addressing a different aspect of facial aging. This is why TriLift sessions take 45-60 minutes and why results are so comprehensive.
The Complete TriLift Session Breakdown:
PHASE 1: Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt™) - 20 minutes
-
Targets: Masseter, temporalis, zygomaticus major/minor, orbicularis oculi
-
Function: Muscle toning and volumization (the pyramid foundation)
-
Technology: Synchronized electrical pulses (20-50Hz)
-
Feels like: Muscle contraction, similar to EMS training
-
Result: 30% muscle density increase after 5 sessions
PHASE 2: RF Microneedling with Heat - 15-20 minutes
-
Targets: Full face and neck dermis (1-3mm depth)
-
Function: Collagen remodeling and smoothing
-
Technology: Fractional RF energy delivered via microneedles
-
RF heat component: Provides additional thermal smoothing and tightening
-
Feels like: Light prickling with warmth
-
Result: Improved texture, tightened pores, smoothed fine lines
TriLift RF Device Selection:
We customize the RF microneedling component based on your specific needs:
-
Cutera Secret RF: Precision depth control, excellent for acne scarring and deep texture issues
-
Morpheus8: Maximum depth capability (up to 8mm) for severe laxity or body treatments
-
Device selection factors: Skin type, concern depth, desired aggressiveness, downtime tolerance
---Note: triLift RF Micrnoeedling or Lutronic microneedling may be chosen based on your skin needs and location.
This is medical decision-making, not one-size-fits-all protocols. Your provider evaluates your anatomy and goals to select the optimal RF platform for your TriLift session.
Critical Addition: Benev Exosomes - Post-Treatment Enhancement
Immediately following the TriLift session, we apply Benev Exosomes topically while microchannels from RF microneedling are still open. This isn't optional, it's protocol.
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (30-150nm) containing growth factors, cytokines, and genetic material that facilitate cell-to-cell communication and tissue regeneration.[1] Benev Exosomes are derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and contain:
-
2.5 billion exosomes per vial
-
Growth factors: TGF-β, VEGF, FGF, PDGF
-
Anti-inflammatory cytokines
-
mRNA and miRNA for cellular signaling[2]
Why Exosomes Enhance TriLift Results:
The RF microneedling component of TriLift creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger wound healing cascades. Exosomes supercharge this process:
-
Accelerated Collagen Synthesis: Exosomal growth factors (particularly TGF-β3) directly stimulate fibroblast activity, increasing Type I collagen production by up to 80% compared to microneedling alone.[3]
-
Reduced Inflammation: Exosomes modulate inflammatory response, reducing post-treatment erythema and downtime by 40-60%.[4]
-
Enhanced Cellular Communication: Exosomes deliver regenerative signals to dermal cells, optimizing the quality and quantity of new collagen formation.[5]
-
Skin Barrier Restoration: Exosomal lipids and proteins accelerate stratum corneum repair, reducing recovery time and improving texture outcomes.[6]
Clinical Evidence:
Studies show RF microneedling + exosomes produces:
-
80% greater collagen density vs. RF microneedling alone
-
60% faster healing time
-
40% improved patient-reported satisfaction
-
Sustained results 3-6 months longer[7]
What This Means for You:
TriLift with exosomes isn't just muscle toning, it's comprehensive facial rejuvenation addressing:
-
Muscle volume and tone (foundation)
-
Dermal collagen and texture (structure)
-
Surface smoothing and tightening (finish)
-
Accelerated healing and enhanced regeneration (optimization)
This is why TriLift is positioned as Level 1 in the Facial Aging Pyramid but delivers benefits across multiple levels simultaneously.
Full Face & Neck Coverage:
Unlike many RF microneedling treatments that stop at the jawline, TriLift protocol includes full neck treatment. Why? Because the neck ages from the same muscle loss, collagen depletion, and structural changes as the face. Treating only the face creates an aesthetic discontinuity—your face looks toned while your neck shows laxity.
Our TriLift sessions treat:
-
Forehead and temples (RF Microneedling)
-
Midface and cheeks (RF Microneedling + lift mode)
-
Perioral and jawline (lift mode + RF Microneedling)
-
Full neck anterior and lateral (RF Microneedling)
Treatment Protocol & Realistic Timeline:
Recommended Series:
5 sessions spaced 1 week apart for cumulative muscle building and collagen stimulation.
Progressive Results:
-
Session 1: Immediate tightening (temporary), muscle activation begins
-
Session 2-3: Visible muscle tone improvement, texture refinement begins
-
Session 4-5: Maximum muscle density increase, sustained collagen remodeling
-
Months 2-4 post-series: Continued collagen maturation, peak results
Maintenance:
-
Single session every 3-4 months maintains muscle tone
-
Annual 5-session series for continued optimization
Combining TriLift with Ultherapy (The Ultimate Lift Package):
When TriLift (muscle foundation + dermal collagen) combines with Ultherapy (SMAS structural tightening), we address ALL layers of the Facial Aging Pyramid except volume loss. This is why the Ultimate Lift Package creates 47% greater lifting than either treatment alone, synergistic, not additive, effects.

The Foundation Layer:
Why Muscle Matters Most
TriLift addresses Level 1 of the Facial Aging Pyramid - the foundational muscle layer that determines everything above it. When facial muscles lose 20-30% of their volume after age 30, no amount of filler can counteract the descent. Discover why restoring muscle tone FIRST changes everything about facial rejuvenation, and why building on a weak foundation guarantees disappointment.

Before & After: The PM Aesthetics Difference
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You should expect to see and feel a natural-looking improvement immediately after your very first treatment. For the best - and longer-lasting - results, a course of 5 treatments, once a week is highly recommended.
Immediate Enhancement: Walk out feeling refreshed with visible improvements from the first treatment. Minimal redness or swelling means you can return to your daily activities right away. Each trilift treatment takes between 30min and 1.5hrs.
Trilift works by combining three advanced technologies to address a range of aging concerns, including sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. During the treatment, a trained provider will apply a small handpiece to your skin, which emits the three types of RF energy. The TriPollar RF energy heats the skin and subcutaneous tissue, while the DMA energy activates and tones the facial muscles. Finally, the TriFractional RF energy creates micro-injuries in the skin to further stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
While TriLift is suitable for most, it's not recommended for individuals with certain medical devices or metal implants in the treatment area. Consult with our experts to see if TriLift aligns with your aesthetic goals.
The results from Trilift can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on individual skin conditions, age, and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments are recommended to prolong the effects.
No, there is minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight redness or warmth in the treated area, but it will subside quickly, and you can resume your regular activities immediately.
TriLift treatments are generally comfortable. The handpiece delivers gentle heat, and while some clients report a mild sensation, there is no pain associated with the treatment.
For optimal results, a series of 5 treatments spaced a week apart is typically recommended. However, this can vary depending on your skin's specific needs, and our team will tailor a plan just for you.
