Liquid Facelift is one of the most up-to-date non-surgical facelift procedures. Composed of poly L-lactic acid microparticles and hyaluronic acid, Liquid Facelift stimulates collagen production in the dermal layer, renewing damaged skin tissue and creating a more natural volume effect. Acting as a hybrid between fillers and mesotherapy, Liquid Facelift, thanks to its PLA content, continues to stimulate collagen production in the body even after its initial effect wears off, maintaining the volumetric effect.
Why Liquid Facelift?
As we age, our connective tissue, especially elastin and collagen, rapidly breaks down. In addition, the amount of fat in our face decreases, causing us to look increasingly tired and sunken. Liquid facelift is a successful treatment method that can reverse the aging process. Essentially, it significantly reduces the appearance of premature aging effects.
Dermal fillers work by filling the gaps in our skin. They make our skin look smoother and fuller, and reduce wrinkles.
The goal of liquid facelift treatment is to eliminate sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles, and to restore lost volume. In addition, it can:
Fill under-eye hollows
Fill sunken cheeks
Reduce the appearance of signs of aging on the face
Reduce wrinkles around the lips, forehead, and eyes.
Individuals with relatively few wrinkles and mild to moderate sagging are ideal candidates for liquid facelift. Those with advanced wrinkles and sagging who desire radically successful results may opt for surgical facelift treatments.
Things to Consider
First, you should not have any non-FDA-approved products injected into your face. The procedure must be performed by a qualified physician. Having these procedures done by non-physicians simply because they are cheaper poses a significant risk to your health. Although the procedures may seem simpler than surgical interventions, they can result in irreparable injuries.
If there are skin lesions, cysts, acne, infections, or herpes near the targeted injection point, you should avoid dermal filler applications. You should postpone liquid facelift surgery until these issues are resolved.
Remember to inform your doctor about any medications you are taking and your general health condition before the operation.
How is Liquid Facelift Performed?
Before the procedure, the treatment area is numbed with an anesthetic cream. After sterilizing the treatment area, liquid facelift fluid is injected under the skin in previously determined areas using very fine needles. The application is performed in 2 sessions, one month apart, depending on age and skin type. It is recommended to have it done once a year.
Which Areas of the Face Can Be Treated with Liquid Facelift?
During your initial consultation with your doctor, the areas to be treated will be determined according to your wrinkle condition, expectations from the treatment, and anatomy. Then, injections are applied to the determined points to provide a shaping and lifting effect. Liquid facelift treatment is most commonly applied to the following areas on the human face:
Upper and outer cheekbones
The mid-face trough, located under the eyes and cheeks
Nasolabial fold area
Corners of the mouth extending from the corners to the chin
Jawline
Anterior jowl area (to provide definition and support to the chin)
Lower cheek hollows…
Fillers applied to all these points help your face achieve a natural V-shape.
