The goal of any facial rejuvenation procedure is to create a refreshed appearance and natural results with minimal discomfort. The liquid facelift accomplishes this objective by combining multiple injectable treatments into a single process. This procedure, which requires minimal downtime, lifts the patient’s facial features, smooths wrinkles, and restores lost volume. At LSG we combine our expertise to offer laser and injectable treatments that restore firmer, fuller contours to the forehead, mid-face, and lower face.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A LIQUID FACELIFT?
The procedures included in a liquid facelift vary and may include any of the following treatments:
Fillers, Disport or Botox Brow Lift, Belkyra or Chin CoolSculpting and Skin Resurfacing. In combination, our personalized procedures will lift your facial features, smooth wrinkles, and restore lost volume with minimal downtime and a quick recovery. While the specific treatments included in the Liquid Facelift can vary based on your personal needs and desired results, we have developed an extensive liquid facelift system that incorporates several treatments not typically offered as part of this procedure. This allows us to correct multiple signs of aging for a completely revitalized look. Injectable treatments can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures for an optimal result.
HOW IS FRACTIONATED LASER RESURFACING PERFORMED?
Laser Skin Resurfacing is very well tolerated, and topical anesthesia is applied before the procedure. Immediate post-procedure redness and swelling with little discomfort can be expected for the first three to four days. Cool packs and healing creams are recommended for the first few days following laser resurfacing. Healing time usually lasts approximately a week when the dead skin falls off revealing fresh, new skin. There is a slight pinkness to the skin for a few weeks after the procedure. Facial resurfacing can be performed in conjunction with dermal fillers or other cosmetic procedures.
During your consultation, we will examine your facial structure and ask you about your recovery and maintenance preferences. Then, we’ll personalize your liquid facelift to reflect your unique goals and anatomy.
WHAT ARE MY SKIN CARE OPTIONS?
We believe that excellent skincare complements any procedure, prevents changes from aging and sun exposure, and preserves the longevity of a more youthful appearance. An excellent sunblock and moisturizer is the foundation of skincare, but other anti-aging products such as anti-antioxidants and retinol can further enhance your appearance. We offer skincare products from SkinCeuticals, ZO and Elta MD.
WHO MAKES A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE LIQUID FACELIFT?
The liquid facelift is ideally suited to treating the early signs of facial aging. Patients who don’t yet require a surgical facelift (those between 35 to 50 years of age) are generally perfect candidates for this procedure, as it produces very natural results. The liquid facelift may also help to delay the need for facelift surgery by stimulating collagen production and reducing stress on the skin.
To enjoy the best possible results with a liquid facelift, you will need to be in good overall health and not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. You’ll also need realistic expectations for this procedure. The liquid facelift can’t wholly replace facelift surgery, especially for mature patients who have loose skin.
WILL I HAVE ANY SCARRING?
No! The non-surgical facelift, unlike traditional facelifts, uses only injectable techniques. As there is not a need for a scalpel, you will have no scarring. The procedure is performed with topical numbing, causing no pain to the patient. Indeed, it is very rare to see any bruising or pain associated with the aftercare and recovery process.
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?
As mentioned above, the procedure will vary based on your personal needs, goals and anatomy. You will receive topical numbing to ensure a painless injection process, receive your chosen blend of procedures and head back home to enjoy your fresh, new and younger look!
