What is a Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift is an effective non-surgical option for individuals seeking a more youthful appearance with no downtime. It uses a combination of dermal fillers such as restylane, juvederm, radiesse, and belotero. With age, there is a loss of volume in the face’s key areas, such as the lips, under the eyes, cheeks, etc. Dermal fillers help to replace this lost volume and lift the face back into place.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are commonly used to add volume to certain areas of the face. The most commonly used fillers for a liquid facelift include hyaluronic acid-based fillers like restylane, juvederm, radiesse, and belotero. These fillers can address various concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, hollowed cheeks, and sagging skin.
Why Choose a Liquid Facelift with Dermal Fillers?
Liquid facelifts are a non-surgical option for those who are looking to rejuvenate their appearance. It offers quick results and no downtime. Individuals with severely saggy skin, however, might not fully benefit from a liquid facelift and instead require surgery. Liquid facelifts work effectively for individuals who are in their late 30s or 40s and have clear signs of aging.
The most commonly targeted areas include under the eyes, near the eyebrows, temples, jowls, cheeks, folds between the nose and mouth, around scars, etc. However, everybody’s procedure is different, and the areas that will be injected will depend entirely on one’s desired results.
