While facelifts continue to be a popular cosmetic procedure, many people are searching for nonsurgical alternatives that don’t require an extensive time commitment or recovery period. One such facelift alternative is what is sometimes called the “liquid facelift.” Learn more about what a liquid facelift is, how it works and if it could be the nonsurgical anti-aging solution you’ve been looking for.
What Is a Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that uses injectables like dermal fillers and BOTOX® to rejuvenate and contour the face. Unlike a traditional facelift, which requires anesthesia, surgery and recovery time, a liquid facelift can be performed during a free afternoon and requires little to no downtime afterwards.
Additionally, liquid facelifts are completely customizable based on your specific aesthetic concerns and goals. Generally speaking, this nonsurgical procedure typically includes a combination of dermal fillers used to add volume to areas like the cheeks, under the eyes and around the mouth, and neuromodulators like BOTOX to smooth wrinkles in the forehead and brow areas. The strategic placement of these injectable treatments can achieve facelift-like results without surgery, smoothing wrinkles, restoring youthful volume and rejuvenating your overall appearance.
Who’s a Good Candidate for a Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift can be a great option for those who want to address signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and skin laxity but are not yet ready for or aren’t interested in a surgical procedure. However, it is important to note that while a nonsurgical facelift can achieve excellent anti-aging results, it cannot achieve the same dramatic results as are possible with a surgical procedure.
If you are bothered by the appearance of a loss of facial volume in the cheeks or lips, hollowness under your eyes or lines or creases around your nose and mouth, you might benefit from a liquid facelift. During your consultation, our injectable treatment specialists will assess your skin, listen to your goals and help you determine if a personalized nonsurgical facelift could be right for you.
Planning Your Nonsurgical Facelift
If you decide to move forward with a liquid facelift, the next step is to work closely with our team of skincare experts to craft an individualized treatment plan. Depending on your specific needs and goals, our team may recommend injectable fillers, neuromodulators or a combination of both to best achieve your desired result.
While not technically considered a part of a “liquid” facelift, other nonsurgical skin treatments such as broadband light (BBL) therapy or microneedling can also be a part of your overall nonsurgical facelift plan to address a wide range of skin concerns.
Your nonsurgical facelift results can last for several months to a year before a maintenance treatment may be required, depending on the specific treatments you received. Our team of experts will help you plan any follow-up or maintenance appointments you may need.
