A surgical facelift involves an intensive procedure with a few weeks of downtime. If you want to see lines and wrinkles smoothed away and your features lifted and defined, a Liquid Facelift may work for you. This treatment uses a combination of dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections to produce a more youthful-looking result.
What is a Liquid or Non-Surgical Facelift?
A Liquid Facelift uses an anti-wrinkle injection like Botox® and a dermal filler like Juvederm® to smooth away wrinkles, lift the cheeks and jawline, and add definition to the facial features. While results cannot approach the results of a surgical facelift, a Liquid Facelift offers an alternative with minimal discomfort and minimal recovery.
How Does a Liquid or Non-Surgical Facelift Work?
At Renew MD, we use Botox® and Juvederm® for our Liquid Facelift.
Botox®
Botox® contains botulinum toxin, which works on the facial nerves and muscles to treat expression lines such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and lines between the brows. In a Liquid Facelift, Botox® works to achieve a smoother brow and diminish other lines and wrinkles.
Juvederm® Ultra and Ultra Plus
These fillers treat severe lines and wrinkles, especially the nasolabial lines that run from the nose to the sides of the mouth.
Juvederm® Volbella
This filler adds volume to the lips, enhancing your pout while keeping the look of natural, soft lips. For a Liquid Facelift, this boost of fullness to the lips will add to the youthful appearance.
Juvederm® Vollure
This filler also works well for deep lines and folds such as the nasolabial creases and other deep facial wrinkles.
Juvederm® Voluma
This filler excels for adding contour to the cheeks and filling out the lost volume in other areas of the face. Its resilient formula stands up to use in facial contouring.
How Long Will My Liquid or Non-Surgical Facelift Last?
Different components of your Liquid Facelift will last longer than others. On average, Botox® lasts three to four months. Depending on the density of the filler, they can last from nine months to up to two years. You can follow up with the injection specialists at Renew MD to have any part of your Liquid Facelift refreshed at any time.
What Results Will I See With a Liquid Facelift?
You will see immediate lift and wrinkle reduction from the action of the dermal fillers, but these results will improve over the next few days. Botox® results take seven to ten days to appear. You will see wrinkles fade away, and your facial features will look more lifted and youthful. Even deep facial creases can vanish, letting you look more rested and energized.
Is There Any Downtime With a Liquid Facelift?
Because you will receive a number of injections, you may have some soreness and minor bruising, especially with injections around the eye area. This resolves over a few days. You can return to your regular activities after treatment with no restrictions.
