What is a Liquid Facelift? - Aesthetic Center at Woodholme

What is a Liquid Facelift?

As we age, we may look for ways to keep our skin and faces looking youthful. There are many options available to help smooth out skin, add volume, and re-create youthful contours. FACELIFTS are the most common facial rejuvenation method. Surgical facelifts may feel too daunting or a patient might not yet need a surgical facelift. That’s where a LIQUID FACELIFT can help.

What Is A Liquid Facelift?

A LIQUID FACELIFT involves using injectable dermal fillers to smooth signs of aging, plump the facial volume, fill in facial lines, or otherwise contour the face. Liquid facelifts use dermal filler injections that are typically formulated with hyaluronic acid to soften facial creases and restore facial volume. Dermal facial fillers are minimally-invasive, making them a great option for those who do not want a complex surgery that would leave scars. Some of the filler options that our team of specialists may recommend include:

Often, because these treatments have different consistencies and ingredients, a few kinds may be used for different areas of the face. Liquid facelift techniques using a combination method will enable patients to have optimized results with their LIQUID FACELIFT, which means various concerns can be addressed in one condensed treatment. During the liquid facelift procedure your injector will inject the formulations over the facial muscles and under the skin in your areas of concern, giving you a more youthful appearance.

Liquid facelift cost is dependent on the amount of treatment areas, formula used, and injection sites.

What Does A Liquid Facelift Treat?

The liquid facelift can address various aging signs. These range from wrinkles to depressions in the face. A liquid facelift can treat:

  • Sagging of the cheeks
  • Creases beside the mouth
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Crow’s feet
  • Frown lines
  • Wrinkling above the lips
  • Hollowness around the temples
  • Volume loss

Liquid facelifts are a great option for many patients. The best way for patients to know if they are a candidate is by meeting with one of our doctors during an in-person consultation. The base requirements for being a good candidate for this treatment are:

  • Have wrinkles/other issues to address
  • Want instant results with little to no downtime

  • Fungal, bacterial, or viral infection at treatment site
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding
  • Being allergic to any of the components the doctors would use
