Is a Liquid Facelift Painful?

A liquid facelift is more of a “pinch and go” experience than anything painful! With built-in numbing agents and the option of a topical cream, most people feel just a bit of pressure or a quick pinch. Any mild swelling or tenderness afterward fades quickly, making it an easy, low-discomfort way to refresh your look!

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Most people only need one appointment to complete a liquid facelift, which typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. However, the number of sessions can vary depending on your specific goals and how much product is required. Some patients might return for touch-ups or adjustments to fine-tune their results. Regular maintenance appointments are also recommended to keep your refreshed look, as the effects of fillers and Botox gradually wear off over time.

How Long Until I See the Results?

You’ll start seeing the results of your liquid facelift almost immediately after the procedure! Dermal fillers instantly boost volume, while Botox takes a few days to relax wrinkles fully. Typically, you can expect the full results to develop within one to two weeks as swelling subsides and the injectables settle into place. The best part? You’ll notice a refreshed, youthful look without the wait! One of the most common questions we hear about liquid facelifting is how long the results will last. The answer: It all depends on the specific types of fillers that are used. Sometimes, results last for several months. In other cases, results may last for one or two years. During your initial consultation, we’ll be happy to recommend fillers that are more likely to yield long-lasting results. We’ll also discuss the merits of getting “maintenance” injections to extend your liquid facelift results.

Can I Combine a Liquid Facelift with Other Procedures?

Absolutely! A liquid facelift can be easily combined with other non-surgical treatments to enhance your results. Popular pairings include skin treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels to improve skin texture and tone. You can also combine it with lip fillers or eyelid rejuvenation to further refine specific areas.

What Are the Risks Associated with a Liquid Facelift?

A liquid facelift is generally a low-risk procedure, but it’s good to be aware of potential side effects. Most people experience just a bit of swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites—think of it as a minor “post-party” effect that usually fades within a few days. On rare occasions, you might encounter uneven results or mild allergic reactions to the fillers, but these are quite uncommon. Serious issues like infections or complications are very rare, especially when you’re in the hands of a skilled injector. Just follow your professional’s pre- and post-care advice to keep things smooth and safe!

Liquid Facelift

Introduction to Liquid Facelift

It’s no secret the natural aging process is unforgiving and inevitable for everyone. The skin starts to lose its elasticity, which can result in wrinkles, fine lines, lost volume, lost facial contour, and sagginess. Plenty of options are available for facial rejuvenation, starting with a surgical facelift. But what about those who don’t have the time or the inclination to have surgery? A procedure known as the liquid facelift can be a safe, effective, and non-surgical alternative. We are pleased to provide liquid facelifts here at Carolina Age Management Institute (CAMI Med Spa).

We invite you to learn more about liquid facelifting and to determine your eligibility for this procedure.

What is a Liquid Facelift?

Understanding the liquid facelift may help compare it with the traditional facelift. A traditional surgical facelift involves a surgeon making incisions behind your ears or your hairline. The surgeon will remove excess fat and tissue through those incisions, pulling your skin tight. A facelift can rejuvenate your face and neck and is especially useful if you are jowling or have a surplus of skin.

A liquid facelift doesn’t achieve quite as much as a surgical facelift, but it can offer some notable results. Liquid facelifts are performed without incisions, anesthesia, or surgery. They can be used to restore volume and facial contour that has been lost with age. Additionally, liquid facelifts can be used to reposition tissue that has started to sag. While liquid facelifting is less effective than surgical, the results can still be positive.

What Are the Benefits of a Liquid Facelift?

Liquid facelifting isn’t right for everyone, but if you’re looking to restore lost volume or reposition your facial tissue without the need for surgery, this may be the best option.

Some of the primary benefits of the liquid facelift include:

There’s no need for incisions, anesthesia, or a prolonged recovery time.
The procedure takes just a few minutes and can be performed here in our office.
Many patients see results almost immediately and then over the next few days.
While the results are temporary, maintenance injections can often extend them.
Liquid facelifting can be a good complement to a surgical facelift procedure.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Liquid Facelift?

The best way to assess your eligibility for a liquid facelift is to visit Carolina Age Management for a consultation. You’ll be greeted by a member of our patient care team and then walked back to a private consultation room. You will meet with one of our providers there, who will evaluate your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals.

Based on this information, your provider will verify your eligibility for a safe, successful procedure. Generally, the best candidates for a liquid facelift are:

Are you experiencing tissue loss or sagging skin?
Do not wish to have surgery.
Are in good health overall.
Have realistic expectations about their liquid facelift results.
