If you are not ready for surgery, a liquid facelift provides you nonsurgical options to achieve global rejuvenation of the face and neck. Depending on the area needing treatment, a liquid facelift may involve a combination of dermal fillers, neuromodulators, and skin resurfacing or tightening procedures. A treatment plan is presented and may be completed at your own pace.

Liquid Facelift is a term used to describe the use of dermal fillers, Sculptra, and neuromodulators to obtain lifting of the brows, midface, jowls and mouth. The overall effect is a more rejuvenated, refreshed look without the downtime of surgery. Results can last anywhere from one to five years depending on the filler used. Maintaining the lifted appearance does require some maintenance with touch up fillers and neuromodulators.

The ideal candidate for liquid facelift is someone with early to moderate signs of aging, or mild to moderate skin laxity and sagging tissues. Optimal results are typically achieved if the sequence of procedures are completed in a narrower time frame.

Because these procedures involved in a liquid facelift are typically temporary, touch-up procedures either every 3-4 months for neuromodulators, or yearly for fillers may be needed to maintain appearances.

• • There may be some swelling and potentially mild soreness in the region where fillers or neuromodulators are placed for the first 2-3 days.
  • Bruising may occur with any needle insertion. Ways to avoid more bruising than typical would be to avoid aspirin 10 days prior to the procedure, icing, keeping your head elevated, and using Arnica – an herbal supplement shown to help resolve swelling and bruising.
