Liquid Facelift

Liquid facelift is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment method used to reduce sagging, wrinkles, and other signs of aging in the skin. Associate Professor Tuğba Falay Gür explains how liquid facelift treatment works, its benefits, and the treatment process in detail, helping patients achieve a younger, firmer, and more aesthetically pleasing facial appearance.

What is Liquid Facelift?

Liquid facelift is a treatment method performed using hyaluronic acid, Botox, and other fillers. This method rejuvenates the skin without requiring surgical intervention. Liquid facelift is applied to define facial contours, eliminate wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity.

Purposes and Goals

The primary aim of liquid facelift treatment is to achieve a youthful and dynamic facial appearance, reduce signs of aging, and enhance facial contours. The main goals of the treatment include:

Reducing Wrinkles: Minimizing the appearance of forehead lines, crow’s feet, and wrinkles around the eyes.
Tightening the Skin: Boosting collagen production to make the skin firmer and more elastic.
Enhancing Facial Contours: Adding volume to the cheeks, defining the jawline, and smoothing facial contours.
Improving Skin Tone and Texture: Correcting discolorations and achieving a smoother texture.
General Skin Rejuvenation: Improving the overall appearance of the skin for a younger and healthier look.

How Liquid Facelift Works

Liquid facelift treatment targets wrinkles and sagging in specific areas by injecting hyaluronic acid, Botox, or other fillers. These substances are placed in the deeper layers of the skin, adding volume, filling wrinkles, and increasing skin firmness. The treatment is carefully planned and executed to achieve a natural appearance.

Treatment Process

The liquid facelift process generally includes the following steps:

Evaluation: A specialist evaluates skin type, signs of aging, and treatment needs.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and local anesthesia is applied if necessary.
Injection: Hyaluronic acid, Botox, or other fillers are carefully injected into the designated areas. A slight stinging sensation may occur during the procedure.
Cooling and Relaxation: Cooling methods may be used during and after the treatment to soothe the skin.
Post-Treatment Care: Specific care recommendations, such as moisturizing and sun protection, are provided to support skin healing.
