You’ve likely heard of injectables like BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM®. These non-invasive med rrspa treatments have become household names, and they can strategically target problem areas of the face. Whether your cosmetic concern is facial volume loss, furrowed brow lines, crow’s feet or other bothersome wrinkles, injectables can work restorative wonders on the face. And if you’re interested in a comprehensive, nonsurgical approach to rejuvenate your appearance, a liquid facelift may be just the thing for you.
What Is a Liquid Facelift?
Like its name implies, a liquid facelift is designed to give you a smoother, more youthful appearance. It’s a single procedure that combines multiple treatments, and it’s intended to mimic the effects of a traditional facelift, including skin tightening, but without surgery.
What Can a Liquid Facelift Treat?
Through a combination of BOTOX®, dermal fillers and laser skin resurfacing treatments, a liquid facelift can dramatically improve your appearance and shave years from your face. If you have vertical lip lines, crow’s feet, brow lines or volume loss in your cheeks, you may be a great candidate for a liquid facelift. An experienced cosmetic surgeon with a keen understanding of facial anatomy can customize your nonsurgical facelift according to your specific needs.
When It’s Time for a Surgical Facelift
A liquid facelift has its limits. If you have jowls, loose neck skin, sagging cheeks or loose skin along the jawline, then you’ll need a surgical facelift to correct those issues.
Just like a liquid facelift, a surgical facelift can offer natural-looking results. However, a surgical facelift addresses issues that a liquid facelift cannot correct. Discuss your options during an in-person consultation with a cosmetic surgeon who offers both types of facelifts.
