Liquid Facelift

A liquid facelift is a non-surgical approach that may help address areas of the face where volume loss has occurred over time. For some people, this treatment can support the appearance of firmer skin, enhance facial contours such as the cheeks and jawline, and soften the look of fine lines.

Outcomes vary between individuals, and a thorough consultation is always required to determine suitability and discuss what results may realistically be achieved.

From the mid-20s onward, the body’s natural collagen production gradually decreases. This change, along with other external factors, such as sun exposure and lifestyle habits, can contribute to thinning of the skin, reduced firmness, wrinkles, fine lines, and hollow areas.

A liquid facelift may help by adding volume to areas that appear sunken and by supporting facial contours. For some people, this can create the impression of lift and improved definition.

During your consultation, our practitioners will explain the treatment process in detail, discuss potential risks and side effects, and outline whether this approach may be suitable for your needs.

A liquid facelift may help improve the appearance of several age-related changes by restoring or supporting volume in targeted areas of the face. Depending on suitability, treatment can address concerns such as:

• A flatter cheek area or reduced mid-face contours

• Hollowing or shadowing beneath the eyes

• Prominent folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)

• Volume loss in the temples or fine lines around the eyes

• Early jowling, drooping at the corners of the mouth, or changes in brow position

Every person’s results vary, and a thorough consultation is always required to determine whether this treatment may be appropriate.

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.
