Many of our patients are looking for convenient and effective ways to treat signs of aging and maintain a youthful appearance. A liquid facelift is a good option that combines different types of injectables to help you achieve a more lifted and refreshed look.
At San Diego Aesthetics & Med Spa in La Mesa, CA, we craft customized treatment plans for each of our patients. We are a small, woman-owned and operated business, and we use our expertise to provide treatments that enhance your features while preserving your unique expression. With our liquid facelifts, we can treat multiple concerns in one fast and easy session to help you get the youthful look you desire.
What Is a Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift is a non-surgical treatment that combines injectables to rejuvenate and lift the face. We use products such as dermal fillers and neuromodulators which reduce wrinkles, contour the face, and add volume. We also use products that stimulate natural collagen production in the body or treat excess facial fat. Liquid facelifts allow us to give our patients a refreshed appearance without an extended recovery time.
What Can a Liquid Facelift Treat?
- Volume Loss In the Cheeks: By restoring lost volume in the cheeks, a liquid facelift can create a more youthful contour. This helps to lift the mid-face and reduce the appearance of sagging.
- Under-Eye Hollows: Filling under-eye hollows can refresh your overall look, making you appear more awake and rejuvenated. This treatment smooths out the sunken areas that often make you look tired.
- Deep Lines Around the Nose and Mouth: Smile lines and marionette lines can be softened with dermal fillers, reducing their depth and giving your face a smoother appearance.
- Sagging Skin: A liquid facelift provides a gentle lift to sagging skin on the jawline, cheeks, and more.
- Jowls and Chin: We can target jowls by lifting and contouring the lower face. Using dermal fillers and fat destroying injectables, we can reduce submental fat and create a more sculpted chin and jawline.
- Fine Lines on the Forehead and Around the Eyes: Neuromodulators like Botox smooth lines such as frown lines and crow’s feet. This part of the liquid facelift gives you a more relaxed and youthful expression.
What Are the Benefits of a Liquid Facelift?
Non-Surgical Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation
A liquid facelift avoids the risks and recovery that come with surgical facelifts. It is a more accessible option for many patients who are not good candidates for surgery or do not want surgical solutions to their concerns. By using a combination of injectables, we can achieve noticeable anti-aging effects.
Temporary but Long-Lasting
While the results are not permanent, they are designed to last several months or much longer depending on the products used. This allows for flexibility in your treatment plan, letting you adjust follow-up treatments as your appearance or concerns change over time. Treatments are also low-maintenance enough that you don’t have to spend hours in a treatment room.
No Downtime After Treatment
Unlike surgical facelifts, there is no need to set aside time for extensive recovery after a liquid facelift. You can return to most of your usual activities immediately after the session. Patients can enjoy the benefits of a more youthful appearance without the disruption of significant downtime.
Often Provides Immediate Results
Patients often notice improvements right after the treatment, depending on the product we are using. Injectables such as fillers work quickly to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and lift the skin. Patients may choose a liquid facelift when they want quick, visible results.
Natural-Looking Results
By carefully selecting and placing the injectables, we can create results that enhance your features while maintaining your natural expressions. The goal is to look like a refreshed version of yourself. Liquid facelift treatments blend seamlessly with your existing facial structure.
Enhances Multiple Facial Areas
One of the strengths of a liquid facelift is its ability to address multiple concerns in one session. Whether you want to lift the cheeks, smooth out lines, contour the jawline, or achieve a combination of all three, this treatment can offer the right solution. The versatility of this approach allows us to personalize the treatment to you.
Quick and Comfortable Treatments
A liquid facelift is typically completed in a single session, often lasting less than an hour. The treatment is performed with minimal discomfort, and patients find it to be a relatively quick and easy experience. The convenience of this treatment is ideal for those looking to improve their appearance without committing to a lengthy or painful process.
What Products Do We Use?
Restylane®
We often use hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane to restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles. Restylane works well for the cheeks, lips, under-eye hollows, and more. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane helps hydrate the skin and give it shape and support. Restylane has a line of fillers with unique formulations that are each perfect for different areas of the face. They are also made with technology that allows them to move naturally with your face as you make facial expressions.
JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM is another hyaluronic acid filler that we use to add volume and reduce wrinkles. JUVÉDERM products have a smooth texture which allows them to blend with your natural facial tissues for an authentic look and feel. We use JUVÉDERM to refresh the lips, cheeks, jawline, and more.
Botox®
Botox is ideal for treating dynamic wrinkles that form from repeated facial expressions like frowning or smiling. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause these wrinkles, resulting in smoother skin. Botox is most commonly used on the forehead, crow’s feet, and between the eyebrows. You’ll still have facial movement, but those deep lines will be less noticeable.
Dysport®
Dysport is similar to Botox but spreads a little more broadly, which can be beneficial when treating larger areas. It’s also effective at reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, but some patients find that Dysport works faster. We’ll help you decide whether Dysport or Botox is better suited for you during your consultation.
Kybella®
Kybella reduces fat under the chin, commonly known as a “double chin.” It’s an injectable treatment that breaks down and absorbs fat cells in the treated area. Once the fat is gone, it doesn’t return, which makes Kybella a great non-surgical option for improving the contour of your jawline and neck. You may need multiple sessions, but the results are permanent.
Sculptra®
Sculptra works differently than other fillers by stimulating your body’s collagen production. The active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, gradually restores volume over time as it encourages collagen growth. Results are not immediate but become more noticeable in the weeks and months following treatment. Sculptra is a good option for those looking for a more gradual, long-lasting improvement in facial volume and skin texture.
What to Expect Before, During, and After a Liquid Facelift
Before your liquid facelift, we’ll meet for a consultation to discuss your goals and examine your facial structure. This helps us determine which injectables will work best for you. We’ll also go over any necessary preparations, such as avoiding certain medications or supplements that can increase bruising.
During the treatment, we’ll carefully inject the chosen fillers and neuromodulators into the areas we have chosen during your consultation. The process usually takes less than an hour, and most patients find it to be relatively comfortable. After the liquid facelift, you may experience some swelling or mild bruising.
