A liquid facelift is a non-surgical alternative to cosmetic surgery. As you age, your skin gradually loses collagen and elastin, which leads to a sagging and a loss of volume and elasticity. During a liquid facelift, a variety of dermal fillers are used in combination with Botox to:

• Gently lift facial features
• Give you a rested, energized look
• Reduce wrinkles, creases, and folds
• Restore facial contouring

A liquid facelift can lift the entire face or lift specific facial features. Liquid facelifts can accomplish a number of different objectives. For example, flattened cheeks can be restored to their natural shape, the corners of the mouth can be lifted, and the appearance of under eye bags can be reduced. Some patients will come away from there visit looking 5 to 10 yrs younger.

Each of these fillers provides unique effects and can lift and contour specific areas of the face. Dermal fillers work by restoring volume and stimulating collagen production in the skin.

Botox relaxes the muscles and diminishes wrinkles. In combination with other dermal fillers, Botox can also provide added lift and make the results of dermal fillers last longer.
