Liquid facelift

Do you feel that you look older and more tired than you would like? Do you want to regain the youthful appearance of several years ago, but are not ready for surgery? Then a liquid facelift may be the perfect solution for you.

Aging of the face

As we age, our face undergoes various changes. These changes often begin subtly, but become more and more visible over time. The first signs of aging are often wrinkles and fine lines. These may appear around the eyes, on the forehead and around the mouth. These first signs are usually caused by a combination of factors, including decreases in collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin, all of which contribute to firmness and elasticity.

In addition, volume loss can occur. This volume loss occurs mainly in the upper parts of the face, such as the cheekbones and cheeks, where the fatty tissue that normally provides a youthful, full appearance gradually decreases and sags downward. This causes facial contours to change and lines such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines to deepen. These changes contribute to a tired and older appearance. In addition, the skin around the chin and jawline can sag, giving the face a less tight contour and can lead to the formation of a double chin or drooping cheeks.

What is a liquid facelift?

A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure that uses hyaluronic acid fillers to repair the signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the skin that retains moisture, keeping the skin firm and hydrated. As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases, contributing to the appearance of wrinkles and loss of volume.

In a liquid facelift, these fillers are strategically injected into the face to restore volume, fill in lines and wrinkles and improve facial contours. Instead of a traditional facelift, in which skin and tissue are surgically lifted and removed, a liquid facelift offers a less invasive solution with less recovery time and risks. The result is a more youthful, fresher appearance without the need for surgery.

Benefits of a liquid facelift

A liquid facelift offers numerous benefits for those who want to address signs of aging without the drawbacks of surgery.

  • Instantly visible results: One of the biggest benefits of a liquid facelift is that the results are visible almost immediately. Once the fillers are injected, you see an immediate improvement in volume and a reduction in wrinkles. The skin looks fuller, tighter and younger, often leading to an immediate boost in self-confidence.
  • Natural results: Thanks to the advanced techniques used, a liquid facelift can produce very subtle and natural results. Hyaluronic acid fillers are carefully placed to rejuvenate the face without overdoing it. The goal is to look like a younger version of yourself, not a completely different face. This natural result is one reason why many people choose a liquid facelift over more invasive procedures.
  • No recovery time: Unlike a surgical facelift, which requires significant recovery time, you can resume your daily activities almost immediately after a liquid facelift. There may be mild side effects such as bruising, swelling or redness at the injection site, but these are usually minimal and disappear within a few days. This makes the procedure ideal for people with busy lives who don't have time for a long recovery period.
  • Long-term effects: Although the effects of a liquid facelift are not permanent, the results of fillers often last between 12 and 24 months. This depends on factors such as the type of filler used, your skin type and lifestyle. After this period, the fillers can be gradually broken down by the body and the treatment can be repeated to maintain the results. This means that with regular touch-ups, you can enjoy a more youthful appearance for a long time without the need for drastic surgery.

Treatable areas during a liquid facelift

A liquid facelift can treat different areas of the face. This makes the procedure very versatile and suitable for addressing various signs of aging. These include:

  • Cheekbones: Restoring volume in the cheekbones can optically elevator and tighten the face. This gives a more youthful and fresher appearance, and also helps the eyes look better.
  • Nose-lip fold: By filling this fold, the face becomes softer and more youthful. This is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Therefore, addressing these folds can make a big difference in the overall appearance.
  • Marionette lines: These are the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the jawline and can give a sad or tired appearance. Filling these lines helps to elevator the corners of the mouth, contributing to a fresher and more cheerful appearance.
  • Jawline and chin: Restoring volume to the jawline and chin can create a tighter jawline, helping to improve facial contours. This can also help reduce the appearance of a double chin, which is often associated with aging.

Consultation and treatment plan

During an initial consultation at our clinic, an experienced cosmetic doctor will thoroughly evaluate your face and discuss which areas can be treated during a liquid facelift. Each person ages in a unique way. Therefore, it is important to create a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to your individual needs and goals.

During this consultation, the doctor will also explain what types of fillers are available and which are best suited for your skin type and the areas you want treated. Some fillers are thicker and better suited for deeper injections, while others are thinner and work better for filling in fine lines.

Honest advice will be given about which areas will benefit most from the fillers, and a personalized treatment plan will be created. The amount of hyaluronic acid fillers needed varies from person to person and depends on the degree of aging and desired results. It is important to be open and honest about your expectations during this consultation so the doctor can paint a realistic picture of what to expect.

Treatment

The procedure itself is relatively quick and simple. First, the skin is cleaned and, if necessary, numbed with a numbing cream to increase comfort. This helps to minimize any discomfort during the injections. Next, hyaluronic acid fillers are injected with a fine needle into the previously discussed areas.

The doctor will often start with small amounts of filler and gradually add more until the desired result is achieved. This ensures that the results remain natural and avoids using too much filler. This process usually takes no more than 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of areas treated.

After treatment

Immediately after treatment, you can already see a difference. The skin looks fuller and tighter and wrinkles are less visible. There may be minor side effects such as bruising, swelling or redness at the injection site, but these usually disappear within a few days. Most clients find that these side effects are minimal and do not affect their daily lives.

It is recommended that you do not wear makeup for the first 24 hours after treatment and avoid direct sun exposure to support the recovery process. In addition, it is important not to apply pressure to the treated areas and avoid going to the sauna or swimming pool for the first few days after treatment.

Long-term care and control

After treatment, it is important to monitor results and consider any follow-up treatments to maintain optimal results. The fillers usually remain visible for 12 to 24 months, after which a follow-up appointment at our clinic can be scheduled to assess whether a new treatment is needed. A liquid facelift offers the opportunity to effectively combat the aging process without the invasive nature of a surgical facelift.

In the months following treatment, you may wish to have minor adjustments made to optimize the results. This can easily be done during a follow-up appointment. By keeping in regular contact with your doctor and discussing any questions or concerns, you can ensure that you are satisfied with the long-term results.
