What is a liquid facelift?
As we age, loss of fat and bone structure are responsible for contributing to a tired, "sunken" appearance that doesn't improve no matter how rested we may actually be. Skin texture may also take on a dull, weathered look from years of both direct and indirect sun exposure. A liquid facelift works to counteract these changes by replacing volume loss, smoothing out wrinkles, promoting collagen production and increased cell turnover for plumper, more youthful appearing skin.
The liquid facelift is becoming rapidly popular among those looking for a quick, non-surgical way to obtain total facial rejuvenation and restore youthful volume with renewed skin tone. A liquid facelift involves a combination of neuromodulators (Botox or Dysport), dermal fillers, and other injectables that target volume loss and wrinkles.
All together, this combination of treatment addresses:
Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators such as Botox or Dysport are used to relax the facial muscles that lead to the formation of facial lines. Once the muscle is relaxed it produces a smoother, more youthful appearance to the skin. It is used to improve:
Botox and Dysport are liquids that are injected into the muscle with a small needle, requiring no anesthetic with very minimal discomfort due to the small needle size. Treatments take just a few minutes to complete and results can usually be seen soon after the procedure. Those results typically last three to four months before a subsequent treatment is needed.
Dermal Fillers
This is another injectable procedure that is used to add volume back to the face and to smooth out unwanted wrinkles and deep furrows. It provides additional support to the skin structure and smooth away wrinkles from the inside out. They are frequently used to improve:
When injected, most results will last six months to two years, depending on the specific formulation used and the area treated.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Treatment
Depending on the number of injection sites and the injectables used, the treatment can be as quick as 30 minutes or as long as an hour. Patients generally only need one treatment to achieve the desired results. However, if Sculptra is used, you will need a few treatments before you see the full effects.
Also, keep in mind that the results of a liquid facelift are temporary. You will need to come back for touch-up treatments as the injectables begin to wear off.
Results
Botox and Dysport will take about 10 days to show the full affect. As for Dermal Fillers, you will see results almost immediately, but this depends on which injectables are used. In general, you can expect to see full results within a week of the treatment. The duration depends on which fillers were used in the procedure however most filler lasts 6-12 months while other semi-permanent fillers can last up to 2 years. Botox and Dysport generally last up to 6 months. We encourage you to return for touch up treatments as the effects start to wear off so that you can maintain your youthful look.
Downtime
The best part of the liquid facelift is that there is no down time with the injectables. Bruising is always a possible complication therefore it is best to allow for a window of 2 weeks before any important event.
As with all of our procedures, this is performed by a licensed, board-certified physician with the goal of helping you achieve natural, elegant results.
