At Skinly Aesthetics, we offer the Liquid Facelift, a non-surgical solution that restores youthful contours and volume to the face using advanced dermal fillers. This procedure is ideal for individuals who want to address signs of aging without undergoing surgery, allowing them to achieve immediate, natural results with minimal downtime.
Book NowWhy Consider a Liquid Facelift?
As we age, various factors contribute to the loss of facial volume, skin elasticity, and the appearance of sagging skin:
- Natural Aging Process: As we get older, the production of collagen and elastin decreases, leading to thinner, more fragile skin.
- Volume Loss: Fat pads beneath the skin shrink and shift over time, particularly in the cheeks, under the eyes, and along the jawline, resulting in a hollow or sunken appearance.
- Skin Laxity: Loss of elasticity causes the skin to sag, especially around the jowls and nasolabial folds.
- Environmental and Lifestyle Factors: Sun exposure, smoking, and poor diet can accelerate these changes by damaging the skin and reducing its ability to repair itself.
These changes often result in sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and a loss of facial definition. A Liquid Facelift addresses these concerns by using dermal fillers to replace lost volume and lift sagging skin, offering a refreshed and youthful look without surgery.
Liquid Facelift vs. Surgical Facelift: How Do They Compare?
While both procedures aim to restore a youthful appearance, they are fundamentally different in their approach, invasiveness, and results.
Aspect | Liquid Facelift | Surgical Facelift |
Procedure | Non-surgical, involves dermal fillers and neuromodulators injected into key areas to restore volume and lift sagging skin. | Surgical, involves the removal of excess skin and tightening of underlying tissues for a more dramatic lift. |
Invasiveness | Minimally invasive, no incisions or general anesthesia. | Highly invasive, requires incisions, sutures, and anesthesia. |
Downtime | Minimal downtime (1-2 days), with mild bruising or swelling. | Significant recovery time (2-4 weeks), with swelling, bruising, and stitches. |
Longevity | Results last 12-18 months before touch-ups are needed. | Results last up to 10 years, but aging will continue post-surgery. |
Results | Subtle, natural rejuvenation for early to moderate signs of aging. | More dramatic, comprehensive lifting for advanced signs of aging. |
Cost | Less expensive, though maintenance treatments are needed. | Higher upfront cost, but longer-lasting results. |
Risks | Lower risk of complications, with rare side effects like swelling or bruising. | Higher risk due to surgical nature (scarring, infection, anesthesia risks). |
Ideal Candidates for a Liquid Facelift
A Liquid Facelift is best suited for individuals who are starting to notice signs of aging such as fine lines, sagging skin, and volume loss but are not yet ready for or interested in a surgical procedure. This treatment is particularly beneficial for those in their 30s to 50s who want a subtle but noticeable improvement in their appearance.
Commonly Treated Areas For Liquid FaceLift
A Liquid Facelift offers a comprehensive solution to combat early signs of aging by targeting specific areas of the face that typically lose volume and definition over time. Here are the key areas that are commonly treated during a Liquid Facelift to restore a youthful, refreshed look:
- Cheeks: As we age, the cheeks tend to lose volume, leading to a sunken appearance. A Liquid Facelift helps restore this volume, enhancing the natural contour of the face and creating a subtle lift that contributes to a more youthful look.
- Jawline and Jowls: Over time, sagging skin around the jawline can result in jowls and a less defined profile. By injecting fillers into the jawline and jowl area, the Liquid Facelift tightens and defines this region, restoring a sharp, contoured appearance.
- Nasolabial Folds: These deep creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth become more pronounced with age. Softening these folds with fillers results in a smoother, more youthful facial expression.
- Under-Eye Hollows: Volume loss in the under-eye area often leads to hollowing and the appearance of dark circles. A Liquid Facelift can reduce these hollows, providing a refreshed and well-rested appearance by plumping the skin and reducing shadows.
This procedure allows for personalized treatment, ensuring that the areas showing the most aging are addressed for a balanced and natural rejuvenation.
How the Liquid Facelift Works
The procedure involves strategically placing dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane or Radiesse to lift and contour the face. Neuromodulators such as Botox may also be used to relax dynamic wrinkles and enhance the overall lift. Dr. Schwarzburg customizes each treatment to the patient’s unique facial anatomy, ensuring natural-looking results.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Consultation and facial assessment.
- Application of a topical numbing agent.
- Precision injections targeting key areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and under-eye hollows.
- Post-procedure massage to ensure smooth filler distribution.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients typically experience mild swelling or bruising after the treatment, which resolves within a few days. Most individuals can return to their daily activities immediately, with full results visible within 1-2 weeks.
Results and Longevity
Results from a Liquid Facelift typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of fillers used and the individual’s skin condition and lifestyle. Regular touch-up treatments may be required to maintain optimal results.
Cost of a Liquid Facelift
The cost of a Liquid Facelift at Skinly Aesthetics is influenced by several factors, including the amount of filler required, the areas treated, and the complexity of the procedure. Dr. Schwarzburg customizes each treatment plan, which means the cost will vary from patient to patient. During your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed breakdown of costs based on your individual needs.
On average, the cost of a Liquid Facelift can range from $3,000 to $10,000 depending on the number of fillers used and the extent of treatment. While this may seem like a significant investment, the results are long-lasting, with most patients enjoying their rejuvenated appearance for 12-18 months
