What is a Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers, such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, and wrinkle reducers like BOTOX® to address signs of aging in the face. The procedure is custom-tailored for each patient’s desired results and involves injecting small amounts of filler into specific areas of the face. A liquid lift with injectable fillers can restore lost facial volume, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, plump up sagging skin, and improve overall facial contour—all in one

How Does a Liquid Facelift with Fillers Work?
A liquid facelift works to contour and rejuvenate the face by injecting dermal fillers into the cheeks, forehead, lips, and jawline. The fillers used in a liquid facelift are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. When injected into the face, hyaluronic acid fillers help to restore lost volume and improve skin elasticity, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Preparing for Your Liquid Facelift
There is minimal preparation needed for a liquid facelift. A consultation appointment prior to treatment is your opportunity to ask questions, learn more about your options, and work with your provider on your treatment plan. You may be advised to avoid alcohol and blood thinning medications in the days leading up to your appointment in order to minimize bruising.
What to Expect During Your Liquid Facelift
Your face will be cleansed and prepped with a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. Your provider will use a fine needle or cannula to strategically inject a carefully chosen combination of dermal fillers.
Recovery After Liquid Facelift
A major benefit of a liquid facelift over a traditional facelift surgery is that there is no downtime needed! You may experience mild redness and swelling for a few hours after treatment, but these effects are temporary. You can expect full results around 3-4 weeks.
