Are you looking for a new facial cosmetic treatment to help usher in the fall? Maybe you want to treat yourself before the holiday season starts. Maybe the summer sun caused a little more aging than you were expecting. Either way, at the Aesthetic Institute of New York and New Jersey, we offer a little something called a Liquid Facelift, a simpler, noninvasive, and quicker alternative to a traditional facelift.
What’s A Liquid Facelift?
It’s actually a category for a group of rejuvenation procedures. A liquid facelift can be anything from dermal fillers, to BOTOX®, to fat transfers. Essentially, a liquid facelift is just a way to rejuvenate your skin using non-invasive, injectable solutions.
BOTOX®
BOTOX® is one of the most popular skin care treatments around. It’s an amazing liquid facelift—after injection, BOTOX® relaxes facial muscles that cause expression lines and wrinkles. What you get is smoother, younger looking skin for 3-4 months, all in a procedure that lasts for less than half an hour.
Are Fillers Considered Liquid Facelifts?
Yes, in fact, dermal fillers like Juvéderm®, Restylane®™, Radiesse®™ or Sculptra®™ are considered powerful skin rejuvenation agents. Dermal fillers are injectables that smooth out wrinkles and fine lines by creating volume and lift. Dermal fillers tend to work on constant lines and creases, rather than expression lines like BOTOX®. Some dermal fillers are so effective and long lasting, that some varieties last for up to a year—perfect for lasting way past autumn.
Body Fat
Fat transfers are a great way to create volume and smooth out lines in the face. Because fat transfers involve using substances straight from your own body, there’s very little risk of an allergic reaction or your body rejecting the transfer. They also take the donor fat from areas of your body that have a little extra fat to give—talk about killing two birds with one stone!
Polylactic Acid
This is a type of dermal filler that specializes in filling out laugh lines, lines around the nose, and deep nasolabial folds in the nose. It’s not just a wrinkle reducer, this new solution also stimulates collagen, an important protein in the skin that allows it to be firm and elastic.
Liquid facelifts are a great facial rejuvenation alternative, but don’t be fooled, like a facelift, they require a skilled and highly trained plastic surgeon. Dr. Slupchynskyj happens to be an expert in non-invasive procedures, and at one point was selected by the Allergan pharmaceutical company to do live demonstrations for their newest products. If you want a liquid facelift, make sure it’s done by an expert plastic surgeon like Dr. Slupchynskyj.
