What is a liquid facelift?
A liquid facelift is a customizable cosmetic treatment offered by skilled injectors. Dermal fillers, like Juvederm, and neuromodulators, like Botox, are used for the treatment. Dermal fillers and neuromodulators complement each other and work together as the perfect combination to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and add volume to the face.
Dermal fillers and neuromodulators complement each other
Dermal filler treatments primarily focus on the mid and lower areas of the face. They are used to add volume to areas of the face, such as the cheeks. They are also used to fill in lines and wrinkles, like nasolabial folds and lines around the mouth. Many turn to fillers for lip augmentation and chin contouring, as well.
Neuromodulator treatments primarily focus on upper facial lines and wrinkles. Botox, for example, is FDA-approved to improve the appearance of crow’s feet on the outside corners of the eyes, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows. Botox is also used for off-label treatments, such as lifting the corners of the eyebrows, smoothing bunny lines across the bridge of the nose, and smoothing out the chin area.
Juvederm and Botox are the most popular treatments
Botox is the most popular neuromodulator treatment. It is the number one requested minimally invasive cosmetic treatment on the market. Botox makes you look younger by paralyzing and relaxing the muscles in which it is injected, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Results are visible within 5 to 12 days after treatment and last for an average of four months.
Juvederm is the most popular dermal filler treatment on the market. There are several different Juvederm fillers in the Juvederm family, and all are made of hyaluronic acid.
Voluma is the first and only dermal filler FDA-approved to treat the chin and cheeks areas and lasts for up to two years. Vollure is used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and lasts for up to 18 months. Ultra Plus and Ultra last for up to one year and are used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Ultra is also used to add volume to the lip area, as well as Volbella. Volbella is also used to soften perioral lines around the mouth and lasts for up to one year.
Laser treatments complement a liquid facelift
A liquid facelift focuses on treating underneath the skin. It is perfect for improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, adding volume, providing symmetry and facial balancing between the two sides of the face, and chin contouring.
However, a liquid facelift does not focus on the top layer of the skin as far as skin tone, age spots, and hyperpigmentation are concerned. That’s why a laser treatment, like the Halo, Moxi, or Broadband light (BBL), is the perfect complement. Laser skin treatments help to reduce the appearance of age spots and hyperpigmentation. They also reduce the appearance of large pores and improve the overall appearance of skin texture and tone.
How do I prepare for treatment?
To prepare for your treatment, do your research to understand how Botox and dermal fillers work. You don’t need to know all of the ins and outs. It is good to know enough, though, so you know that the injector you’re considering is well versed and educated in Botox and dermal filler treatments.
When looking for a liquid facelift provider, have a list of questions ready to ask him or her. Also, check out online reviews and results from before and after photos.
It’s common for a liquid facelift treatment to take no longer than 30 minutes. Numbing cream and lidocaine mixed in with the dermal filler help make the treatment more comfortable. Most report experiencing minimal discomfort during their facial balancing and liquid facelift treatments.
How long does a liquid facelift last?
The Botox portion of a liquid facelift lasts for an average of four months, at which time, additional Botox injections are required to maintain results. The dermal filler portion of a liquid facelift lasts anywhere from six months to two years. Efficacy depends on the area treated, the product used, and individual body chemistry.
Your injector can better explain to you what your maintenance treatment requirements will be moving forward during your consultation or after your initial treatment.
How do I locate a provider?
Do an online search for liquid facelift providers near you. You can also search for Botox and Juvederm or Botox and dermal filler treatments near you. If the provider offers both neuromodulator and dermal filler options, there is a high probability that they offer liquid facelift treatments.
How much will a liquid treatment cost?
The cost of a liquid facelift can vary significantly between patients. One patient might only need two dermal filler syringes, whereas others might need four or five to achieve the desired results. A liquid facelift can cost anywhere from $800 upwards of $2000.
Many clinics and MedSpas offer regular Botox and dermal filler specials. Also, check to see if the provider offers discounts on packages. Some clinics and MedSpas, like DermaTouch RN, offer dermal filler and Botox package discounts when you purchase them together or purchase more than one syringe of filler.
