Patients who are struggling with signs of aging in the face may believe that a traditional facelift is the only way they can revitalize their look. Some of these issues may include sagging skin, volume loss in the mid-face region, cheek hollows, crow’s feet, and fine lines. While a standard facelift can elicit remarkable results, it is not the approach available.
Over the past few decades, new non-surgical procedures such as the liquid facelift have grown in popularity. This is largely due to the fact the procedure comes with no downtime and no incisions. Furthermore, the results are perceivable immediately following the procedure.
As a non-surgical procedure, patients can undergo a liquid facelift without having to worry about scars. Areas such as the jowls, mid-face, nasolabial folds, and temples can all be sculpted, giving the face an overall enhanced shape and structure. However, it should be noted that the results from a liquid facelift are not permanent.
While no two liquid facelift procedures are ever the same, they usually involve some combination of dermal fillers. Some of these include Sculptra, Restylane, and Juvederm. In many cases, these fillers are combined with a neuromodulator such as BOTOX, which can prevent new muscles from forming.
When used together, these products can achieve some outstanding results in the face, reducing the appearance of fine lines and creating changes that are similar to a standard facelift. Most exciting of all, the results of a liquid facelift can be seen immediately, making it the ideal option for patients who are seeking quick results.
