How does a liquid facelift work? 

A liquid facelift combines neuromodulators like BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport® with dermal fillers to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

  • Neuromodulators: BOTOX and Dysport temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for expression lines, such as crow’s feet and frown lines. These treatments smooth out wrinkles, creating a more relaxed and youthful appearance. 
  • Dermal Fillers: Fillers restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth out deeper wrinkles and folds. Different formulations can address specific areas and concerns, allowing for a highly customized treatment plan.

Liquid Facelift vs. Surgical Facelift

A liquid facelift uses dermal fillers and BOTOX to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and contour facial features without surgery. In contrast, a surgical facelift removes excess skin and elevates underlying tissues for more dramatic, long-lasting results.

Here are some key differences between the two procedures:

Liquid Facelift:

  • Non-surgical
  • Minimal downtime
  • Results may last for 3 to 4 months up to a few years depending on the injectables used
  • Best for mild to moderate aging signs

Surgical Facelift:

  • Requires surgery
  • Longer recovery period
  • Results last 10+ years
  • Best for more advanced signs of aging

A liquid facelift generally suits those seeking subtle enhancements, while a surgical facelift is ideal for patients with significant skin laxity who can allow a longer recovery window.

What are liquid facelift treatments like? 

Based on your aesthetic goals, Dr. Olson will determine the best combination of products to achieve your desired results. The treatment process is relatively quick and comfortable. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment. Your initial filler results will be visible right away, but it will take a few days for the neuromodulators to take effect. 

“Dr. Olson takes time to explain all facets of the procedure & answers all my questions. He’s patient & has a great eye! I’ve had fillers & botox… He’s a true artist… I look better & feel better.”

How long is recovery? 

Recovery time for a liquid facelift is minimal. Most patients experience some swelling and bruising at the injection sites, but those aftereffects typically subside within a few days. You can usually resume normal activities immediately after the procedure, although we advise you to refrain from strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for a short period. 

How long will your results last? 

The longevity of your liquid facelift results varies depending on the products used and individual factors. Neuromodulators like BOTOX and Dysport generally last 3 to 4 months, while dermal fillers can last from 6 months to 2 years. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain your youthful appearance. 

Liquid Facelift FAQs

Who is a good candidate for a liquid facelift?

Ideal candidates for a liquid facelift are those with mild to moderate laxity, wrinkles, or volume loss who prefer subtle, non-surgical rejuvenation. It’s essential to have realistic expectations about what the procedure can and can’t accomplish.

Is a liquid facelift painful?

A liquid facelift is typically well tolerated. We offer patients the option of using ice or a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. Plus, many of our fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, for added comfort. 

What’s a mini liquid facelift?

A mini liquid facelift targets specific areas like the cheeks or jawline for subtle enhancements, using fewer injections and a modified approach.

Is a non-surgical facelift worth it?

For individuals seeking subtle, temporary results with minimal downtime, a non-surgical facelift can be a great alternative to a surgical facelift. We’ll help you determine if you’re a good candidate for a liquid facelift during your personalized consultation.
