LIQUID FACELIFT

A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure that uses advanced hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers to lift, sculpt, and rejuvenate the face. The process begins with a detailed consultation to assess your facial structure and desired outcome. Once your treatment plan is finalised, the procedure itself involves the careful injection of HA fillers using a 5-point strategy that targets areas including the cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds, under-eyes, and temples. These injections are performed using fine needles, ensuring precision and minimal discomfort. The procedure typically lasts between 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated, with minimal downtime. A topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment to enhance comfort, and most patients can resume normal activities immediately after.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, primarily found in the skin, connective tissues, and eyes. It has a remarkable ability to retain moisture, making it vital for skin hydration and volume. In a liquid facelift, synthetic HA is injected into the skin to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. The filler attracts and binds water molecules, helping to rehydrate the skin and provide a plump, youthful appearance. As the HA integrates into the skin, it boosts collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time.

Results from a liquid facelift are immediate, with improvements visible right after the procedure. You’ll notice a lifted, refreshed appearance, with enhanced volume in treated areas. The skin will appear smoother, with reduced fine lines and a more youthful contour. While the initial changes are visible straight away, full results will become more apparent within a few days as any swelling subsides. Results typically last between 6-18 months, depending on factors such as the type of filler used and individual skin conditions. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain your rejuvenated look, as the effects of hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the injected filler, and the skin gradually returns to its pre-treatment condition. This process typically takes between 6 to 18 months, depending on the individual and the areas treated, when volume loss and wrinkles may start to reappear. By scheduling regular touch-up sessions as recommended by our trained practitioners, you can ensure that the benefits of the liquid facelift are preserved, keeping your skin plump, smooth, and youthful.

A liquid facelift is considered safe when performed by an experienced, qualified practitioner. Hyaluronic acid is a biocompatible substance, meaning it is well-tolerated by the body and poses a low risk of allergic reactions. At skin@voguedental, all treatments are carried out by trained professionals who prioritise your safety. A thorough consultation and medical history review ensure the procedure is suitable for your skin type and goals. Additionally, HA fillers are FDA-approved and commonly used in aesthetic medicine worldwide, with a long history of safety.

As with any cosmetic treatment, there are some potential side effects, although they are uncommon and generally mild. Typical side effects include slight redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. Infrequently, patients may experience lumps or asymmetry, which can usually be corrected with gentle massage (see our trained professionals for effective methods) or follow-up adjustments. Serious side effects are extremely uncommon, but it’s important to choose a reputable clinic like skin@voguedental to minimise risks. Following aftercare instructions will help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
