Liquid Facelift: A Non-Surgical Approach to Facial Rejuvenation
One of the most common signs of facial aging, particularly in the jowls and cheek areas, is the loss of volume. This volume loss often leads to sagging skin, accelerating the development of nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth). In the past, patients would turn to surgical facelift procedures to address sagging in their faces. However, thanks to medical advancements, the Liquid Facelift, developed with dermal fillers, is now a great alternative to surgery. It’s important to note that it does not provide the same level of results or long-lasting effects as surgery but can be an excellent choice for those who want to avoid going under the knife. Targeting specific areas rather than individual lines, when applied to the right points on your face, can help you achieve a more natural and youthful appearance. Liquid Facelift is a highly popular treatment that can significantly improve early signs of aging, particularly in areas where the skin might sag and appear hollow, such as the cheeks and around the eyes.
How is Liquid Facelift Administered?
Liquid Facelift combines dermal filler substances with wrinkle-reducing injections such as Botox to gently lift and reshape the face. It reduces nose-to-mouth lines, marionette lines, the appearance of jowls, dark shadows, and hollow cheeks.
Where Can Liquid Facelift Be Used?
- To enhance cheekbones and eliminate nasolabial folds,
- To rejuvenate tired-looking hollows under the eyes,
- To smooth out lines visible in the nasolabial fold, mouth, and nose areas,
- To lift the corners of the mouth and reduce the “angry/sad” appearance,
- To diminish or improve volume loss in the chin, jawline, and chin area,
- To create a more slender and youthful V-shaped appearance in the chin line,
- To lift the entire face and create smoother cheeks.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Liquid Facelift?
Liquid Facelift is ideal for patients with minimal skin laxity. When performed by a skilled doctor, the results will appear very natural, aiming to make patients look refreshed without drawing excessive attention.
How Is the Decision for Liquid Facelift Treatment Made?
A specialist doctor will assess the volume losses your face has incurred and then propose a treatment designed according to your needs and facial symmetry. The treatment primarily focuses on the mid-face region to lift the under-eye area, jowls, and nasolabial folds. It can also lift the eyes and eyebrows by focusing on the cheeks and temples. Furthermore, it can correct any bumps on the nose and soften and round the chin and jawline.
When Will the Results of Liquid Facelift Be Visible?
The effects of a Liquid Facelift are immediately visible, with continued improvement over the next three months.
What Precautions Should Be Taken After a Liquid Facelift?
The use of the latest high-quality dermal filler brands often results in minimal or no downtime. There may be some minor swelling and occasional bruising, which is usually short-lived. Needle marks from the injections may be visible but can be easily concealed with makeup.
