Book an AppointmentWhat is a Liquid Face-Lift?
Using an array of injectables, a liquid face-lift stimulates your facial features by addressing ageing signs like wrinkles and volume loss. In general, this procedure incorporates dermal fillers with wrinkle reductions. You get guidance from a qualified cosmetic surgeon in evaluating the best solutions for your needs.
A liquid face-lift, in contrast with the norm of face-lift surgery, is a minimally invasive non-surgical process to improve facial contour and soften wrinkles. Instead of Botox, cosmetic injections such as dermal fillers are used.
Since it cannot replace surgical facelifts, it is an excellent alternative for people who would rather not have surgery or who might opt to have it done in the future but aren't ready yet.
This method combines dermal fillers and wrinkle reducers to address the following:
- Forehead lines and wrinkles around your eyes, nose, and mouth
- Sagging in your brow, mouth corners, or jawline
- Volume loss in areas such as your temples, under your eyes, or in your cheeks and lips
- A cosmetic surgeon will tailor your treatment to meet your unique needs, selecting from various products to achieve the best results.
What elements are included in injectable liquid facelifts?
- Hyaluronic Acid-Based Fillers: Fillers based on hyaluronic acid, such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero Balance, treat passive wrinkles, or lines that are visible at rest but not when moving. They also give lips a lush appearance.
- Wrinkle Reducers: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are some of the most popular examples of botulinum toxins that minimise wrinkles. Only dynamic wrinkles—lines that show up or become more noticeable as the face muscles move—such as frown lines between the eyebrows, active crow’s feet, etc.—are treated by them.
- Hydroxyapatite filler: Radiesse is a volumiser made of hydroxyapatite filler. The finest uses for this inert substance are plumping the mid-cheeks and temples, as well as deepening the nasolabial lines—the line that extends from the corner of the nose to the outside edge of the lips.
- Fillers that increase collagen: poly-L-lactic acid is found in Sculptra. It is transported in salt. It stimulates the production of collagen in our tissue and takes three, four, or more sessions to be Dermal effective. Unlike other volumisers that, at most, last a little over a year, this one can last up to three years.
Fillers function by eradicating shadows and “plumping up” sunken regions. The treatment impacts can last for up to a year and a half. Botox and other wrinkle reducers temporarily relax the targeted muscle to smooth out wrinkles. The effects of Botox typically last three months.
How Do Liquid Facelifts Works?
The injected dermal fillers in liquid facelifts offer your skin a smoother, plumper appearance. After being injected into your skin, a dermal filler strengthens your skin by acting as elastin and collagen.
Your skin’s collagen foundation deteriorates with age and increased use of your facial muscles. As a result, wrinkles start to appear on your skin and it becomes less flexible and hydrated…
For your liquid facelift, you can select from a range of dermal fillers, such as:
- Hyaluronic acid. This is one of the most commonly utilised forms of dermal filler, and it is an element that is made by our own body. It can firm and hydrate your skin by repairing the void produced by missing collagen and elastin fibres.
- Polymethacrylate spheres. These are often applied around the mouth and are not absorbed by the body. These are slick plastic bits that will stimulate collagen production in your body.
- Hydroxylapatite of calcium. This mineral can survive up to eighteen months and is present in human bones. It is frequently used by doctors to volumise acne scars.
- Poly-L-lactic acid. This lasts for up to two years and is composed of the same material as dissolvable stitches.
