What is a liquid facelift?
Your face is the one part of your body that you want to be plump and contoured. A full face has less wrinkles,
lines and folds than a thin gaunt face. As we age our skin doesn't just wrinkle, the tissues beneath the skin
lose volume causing the skin to sag and fold like an overripe grape. A facelift, which surgically removes excess
skin, doesn't address the need to infuse your facial features with volume and dimension. Many men and women who
think they may need facial surgery are surprised to find a better treatment called a Liquid Facelift.
A Liquid Facelift is accomplished using the injectable filler Restylane™ or Juvaderm™ alone or in combination with
other fillers and BOTOX Cosmetic. Fillers can last a year or more, depending on the filler.
Unlike a standard facelift that requires surgery, anesthesia and significant recovery time, a Liquid Facelift initially
takes less than an hour without sedation or with a local anesthesia/numbing cream, and you'll be back on the social scene
almost immediately!
