What is a Liquid Facelift?

The liquid facelift involves injecting Botox and/or various dermal fillers into the skin to restore lost volume and soften wrinkles.

Unlike laser treatments that require time to build collagen and elastin, the liquid facelift provide almost instantaneous results for a more youthful appearance.

With the right approach, it can leave you with radiant, smooth skin and reduce wrinkles without resorting to surgery.

The objective of a liquid facelift is to minimize wrinkles and sagging.

It can also:
• Improve skin texture appearance
• Tighten skin
• Minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Diminish the physical signs of aging

The best candidates for a liquid facelift are patients who want to improve the appearance of their skin but aren’t ready for surgery.

How much does a liquid facelift cost?

Liquid facelifts are less expensive than surgical facelifts. However, liquid facelifts depend on a number of factors such as:

• Amount of Botox units needed
• Multiple vials of fillers may be needed to achieve desired results

During your consultation, you’ll receive a full estimate of your liquid facelift costs.

Generally 30+ units of Botox are needed. For fillers, most often 2-6 vials of filler may be needed to achieve desired face rejuvenation.

How does a liquid facelift work?

A liquid facelift works by using a package of anti-aging fillers to restore volume in your face or lips.

Commonly used fillers that add volume are Sculptra and Juvederm products. These products and treatments work to improve the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Your individual liquid facelift will be created based on your cosmetic needs and goals. A liquid facelift may require multiple treatments to achieve the desired results.

Preparing for an injectable treatment

Before you start your liquid facelift process, it’s important to ensure you’re in good health. If you have any underlying medical conditions, talk with your skincare specialist before beginning treatment.

If possible, avoid taking blood-thinning medications such as ibuprofen or aspirin because these can increase the risk of bruising after each procedure. In addition, stop smoking at least two weeks before your treatment, as smoking can delay healing.

What to expect after a Botox & Filler treatment

After a liquid facelift, you may experience some redness and irritation. However, this subsides within a day or two, depending on your unique procedure.

You’ll be given a detailed list of instructions to follow in order to maintain your results. Generally, you should plan to wear SPF 30+ after each session and avoid harsh products. Your skincare specialist will make sure you understand when to return for your next treatment.
