Liquid Facelift is one of the most current non-surgical facelift procedures. Liquid Facelift, which contains microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid and hyaluronic acid, triggers collagen production in the dermal layer, and creates a more natural volume by restoring the damaged skin. Thanks to its PLA content, Liquid Facelift, which makes an impact between fillers and mesotherapy, continues to make a volume effect by stimulating collagen production, even while it is not effective any more.
Is A Liquid Facelift Right For You?
As we get older, our connective tissues dissolve rapidly, particularly elastin and collagen. Furthermore, we begin to look more tired and saggy since the amount of fat on our face decreases. Liquid Facelift is a satisfactory treatment method that may reverse the aging process.
Dermal fillers make an effect by filling cavities that occur on our skin. It makes sure that our skin looks smooth and vibrant and it removes wrinkles. Purpose of the liquid facelift is to remove saggy skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and bring back the volume that is lost. Its other purposes are as below:
- To eliminate under eye hollows.
- To fill cheeks that are collapsed.
- To decrease the signs of aging on our face.
- To eliminate wrinkles around the lip, forehead and eyes etc.
Individuals, who have relatively less number of wrinkles and who complain about slightly and moderately saggy skin, are ideal candidates to get a liquid facelift. Individuals, who have excessive number of wrinkles and saggy skin and who also wish to obtain radical results, may apply to surgical facelift therapies.
On Which Areas of the Face is Liquid Facelift Performed?
In your first meeting with your doctor, areas, on which the treatment will be performed, will be determined based on the condition of your wrinkles, your expectations from the treatment and your anatomy. Below you may find the areas, on which the liquid facelift treatment is used on face the most:
- Upper and outer cheekbones
- The midface (area located below eyes and cheeks)
- Nasolabial folds area
- Mouth corners that extend from the end of the mouth towards the chin
- Chin line
- Front double chin (to make the chin distinctive and provide support)
- Dents in the lower cheek
Fillers that are injected into all of the aforementioned areas make sure that you get a natural V-shaped face.
Who are Suitable to Get A Liquid Facelift Treatment?
Middle aged or elderly individuals, who have a slightly and moderately saggy double chin, who have significant tissue loss, and who complain about vertical lip-nose lines, constitute the most suitable group. Yet, diabetes patients, individuals with bleeding disorders, individuals with immune system disorders or individuals with muscular and neurological diseases are not suitable to receive liquid facelift treatment.

What are the Risks or Side Effects?
Liquid facelift treatment is very safe and consists of almost no risks. However, potential side effects observed rarely include tiny swellings at the injection point or temporary bruises. These typically disappear automatically in a few days.
Tips on Liquid Facelift Treatment
It is a great advantage that the filler used is temporary; if you are not happy with the results, they may be reversed as the materials disappear automatically in 12 months. It is important to have realistic expectations; extreme expectations, such as getting 20 years younger, may lead to disappointment. Please avoid undergoing several aggressive procedures at once to prevent an unnatural "wax figure" appearance.
Which Injections Are Made?
The primary filler used is hyaluronic acid, which can hold 1,000 times its own weight in water, making it ideal for adding volume and vibrancy. These fillers are successful in removing fine wrinkles and lines while triggering elastin and collagen production. Other fillers, such as calcium hydroxyl apatite or polycaprolactone, may be used for longer-lasting effects, though they provide relatively less volume than hyaluronic acid.
What Precautions Must Be Taken After Liquid Facelift?
After receiving treatment, a massage must be performed 5 times a day for a period of 2 minutes on the affected area for 5 days. This ensures that the liquid is more effective. Recipients may continue with their daily lives right away and without any problems.
We Say No to Volume Loss!
Volume loss in the double chin and cheek areas leads to saggy skin and accelerates the development of nasolabial folds. While surgical face lifting was once the only option, medical aesthetics now allows these problems to be solved by dermal fillers. Rather than targeting lines one by one, detecting eight points on the face for injection provides a much more natural and younger appearance.
Prices of Liquid Facelift
Prices vary based on the area treated and the amount of fillers used. Low-priced procedures may indicate the use of poor-quality fillers. Therefore, the quality of the product and the experience level of the physician are the most important details.
