Real Reviews From Newport Beach Skin Tightening Clients

As a professional model, my career is built on my appearance, so I’m extremely selective about who I trust with my face. James was different. Before I even told him what bothered me, he carefully studied my face with me and recognized the subtle concerns I was noticing. What impressed me most was his eye for detail and commitment to natural results. I’ve never had fillers or Botox, and preserving my natural appearance is extremely important to me. The next day, my friends simply commented that my skin looked amazing, healthy and glowing. James has a rare combination of technical skill, artistry and honesty.

I loved my experience with Jim Hooper! He was so personable and informative about all his products and procedures. I did the 20min Apollo Tripollar for $300 and was blown away at the transformation from just one session. I didn’t know my nose could be straighter & I finally have a jaw line! I’ll be returning for the Butterfly Facelift after seeing these miracle results. When I return I’ll be credited $300 towards the Butterfly Facelift. Great location, great service!

Recently went to Newport Beach Skin Tightening for a scar removal treatment with Jim, and I’m honestly really happy with my experience. The treatment included microneedling and another add-on (can’t remember the name!), but the whole thing was painless thanks to Jim’s strong numbing cream. After first session, I can already see my acne scars softening and blending into my skin. My skin feels smoother, and I’m starting to get my confidence back, excited to see the results and will update after my second visit. Consultation was super comfortable as well, Jim took his time showed me the exact areas that needed work, and also explained everything clearly. He’s a genuinely nice guy and really knows his craft. If you’re thinking about improving your skin or bringing back a more youthful look, I definitely recommend giving Jim a try.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Butterfly Facelift®?
The Butterfly Facelift® is a customized, non-surgical rejuvenation experience created by James Hooper. It brings up to seven complementary technologies (all seven in the Signature Butterfly Facelift®) together in one personalized session designed to support a lifted, refreshed appearance.
How soon will I see results?
Visible results are typically seen the same day. Your skin will continue to improve over the following 3–6 months as your collagen rebuilds and remodels naturally. Individual results vary.
How long can results last?
Results vary by individual, but most clients enjoy benefits for 12–18 months. Many choose to return annually to maintain their results.
Is there downtime?
Downtime depends on the technologies included in your personalized treatment. Temporary redness, tenderness or swelling may occur, particularly when microneedling or more intensive technologies are used. Many clients return to normal activities quickly, although individual recovery experiences vary. We will explain what to expect before your treatment.
How do I know which treatment option is right for me?
Each Butterfly Facelift® option offers a different level of rejuvenation, number of technologies, treatment area, treatment time, and price — the Mini (four technologies) is best for mild concerns or maintenance, the Butterfly Facelift® (six technologies) suits mild-to-moderate facial and neck concerns, and the Signature (seven technologies) is the most comprehensive option. Your customized treatment plan will be discussed during a complimentary consultation.
