Liquid Facelift

Liquid facelift injectables typically use hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, to help restore skin volume and moisture. This treatment plumps up hollow areas, resulting in a softer and rejuvenated appearance. By addressing common signs of ageing, such as sagging, hollowing, and volume loss, liquid facelifts offer a natural-looking, youthful aesthetic without surgery.

You will likely notice immediate results from your liquid facelift, with improvements in facial volume and reduced wrinkles visible right after the procedure. Over the following days, as any minor swelling subsides and the filler settles, the full effects will become more noticeable. Typically, the best results are seen within a week or two as the skin adjusts and the treatment takes full effect. Your practitioner can provide more detailed information on what to expect based on your individual treatment.

Yes, it is possible to reverse the results of a liquid facelift if necessary. Most people are very satisfied with the outcome, but we understand in the circumstance that if someone is not satisfied with the outcome, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the hyaluronic acid-based fillers, restoring the treated area to its original appearance. It’s important to note that the effects of dermal fillers are temporary, typically lasting between 9 to 24 months, allowing patients to either maintain or modify their look over time.

Liquid facelifts are a great option for individuals looking to address signs of facial ageing and restore volume without surgery. Before treatment, a medical expert will assess your skin to determine if this procedure is right for you. A personalised plan is created based on your needs.

You may not be a candidate for a liquid facelift if:
– You’re under 18 years of age
– You have certain health conditions
– You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
– You have a history of nerve or bleeding disorders
– You have a skin condition

It’s important to discuss realistic expectations with your provider. Our medical staff will be happy to chat to you about the kind of results you can expect, based on your particular skin condition.

The primary areas of the face that are targeted by a liquid facelift are:

• Under-eye area
• Eyebrow region
• Cheeks
• Forehead
• Temples
• Jowls
• Jawline
• Nasolabial folds

The results of a liquid facelift typically last between 9 to 24 months, depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors like how your body metabolises the filler.

Over time, the effects gradually fade, and follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired results. Your practitioner can give you more specific guidance during your consultation based on your unique skin and treatment goals.

After your liquid facelift, your doctor will provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. Key steps to follow include:

• Avoiding direct sun exposure
• Refraining from alcohol consumption
• Avoiding high heat (e.g., saunas)
• Delaying strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Avoid rubbing, picking, or massaging the treated area
• Minimising movement of the treated areas

If you experience any unusual symptoms, contact your clinic immediately for further guidance. These precautions help reduce swelling and maintain the integrity of the treatment.

Liquid injectables are generally safe, but there can be minor and temporary side effects. Your doctor will discuss any other risks and side effects specific to your treatment. After your treatment, some patients may experience bruising, redness, swelling, or lumpiness in the injected area. These side effects are normal and usually resolve on their own within a few days. If you experience any prolonged or unusual symptoms, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider for further advice to ensure your recovery goes smoothly.

For most patients, a liquid facelift causes only slight discomfort rather than pain. You may feel a pinching sensation during the injections and mild stinging as the filler is applied. To minimise discomfort, a numbing cream can be applied, and very fine needles are used to reduce sensation during the procedure. Any mild discomfort after the treatment can be managed with ice packs or over-the-counter pain relief. If you’re feeling anxious, our team is available to discuss the procedure in more detail and ensure you feel comfortable and confident.
