Liquid Facelift

A liquid facelift is designed to target areas of the face that have experienced significant volume loss. It helps tighten the skin, improve the appearance of cheek and jaw contours and soften fine lines to achieve a more revitalised and refreshed look. 

As we reach our mid-20s, the natural production of collagen in the body slowly declines, causing the skin to its lose firmness, laxity and elasticity. Along with other external factors, this commonly leads to thinning of the skin, wrinkles, fine lines and hollow areas.

A liquid facelift addresses sunken areas and provides structural support to the skin, creating a lifting effect. During your initial consultation, we will explain the treatment process in detail and how it can be tailored to your specific goals.

It can help address multiple concerns, including but not limited to:

• Flattening of the cheeks and loss of contours
• Hollows or puffiness beneath the eyes
• Prominent lines between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
• Diminished volume in the temples and fine lines around the eyes
• Drooping jowls, brows and corners of the mouth 

It varies based on individual factors such as age, skin type, metabolism and lifestyle choices. On average, effects can last between six to 12 months and in some cases even years.

While this treatment assists with enhancing facial structure and addressing common signs of ageing, it’s important to note that it cannot completely reverse the natural ageing process. At your initial appointment, our practitioners will assess your natural features and explain achievable outcomes. 

Following your practitioner’s guidelines can help reduce potential risks and ensure a smooth recovery process. Here’s what you need to know:

Before your treatment:

• Stop taking blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin, fish oil or vitamin E at least two weeks ahead of your appointment to lower the risk of bruising.
• Avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to the treatment.
• Book your session at least two weeks before any significant events to allow enough time for recovery.

On the day of your appointment:

• Arrive 10 to 15 minutes earlier to fill out paperwork and have numbing cream applied to the target areas.
• Ensure your skin is thoroughly cleaned and free from any makeup or skincare products before your appointment to prevent potential irritation or infection.

After the treatment:

• Limit intense exercise or physical activity that results in sweating for at least 24 hours.
• Apply a cold compress in short 15-minute intervals to manage swelling if needed.
• Refrain from touching or pressing on the treated areas for at least three days.
• Avoid applying makeup for the rest of the day.
• Don’t use cosmeceutical skincare products containing harsh active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C or AHAs for at least a week.
• Protect your skin by avoiding sun exposure, UV light, hot saunas or extreme cold for up to two weeks.
