What is Liquid Facelift? The New Way of Non-Surgical Rejuvenation

What is Liquid Facelift?

A liquid facelift is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that rejuvenates facial features by injecting fillers and botulinum toxin (Botox) under the skin without any surgical incisions. Its goal is to reshape areas that have lost volume with age, lift the skin, and give the face a more vibrant, rested appearance.

The products used in this process are usually:

  • Hyaluronic acid fillers (to add volume to areas such as temples, cheeks, chin, cheekbones)
  • Botox (to reduce or eliminate mimic wrinkles)

How is a Liquid Facelift Performed?

The procedure is performed by a specialized aesthetic physician and includes the following steps:

  1. Examination and Facial Analysis: Your facial features are examined in detail by the surgeon, the effects of aging are evaluated and the areas to be treated are planned.
  2. Preparation Before Application: Skin is cleaned, injection sites are numbed by applying local anesthetic cream.
  3. Injection: An appropriate amount of filler and/or botox is injected into the determined areas.
  4. Control: Symmetry and natural appearance are evaluated after the procedure.

The total procedure time is between 20-40 minutes and patients can usually return to their daily life immediately after the procedure.

  • Eye area: Crow’s feet, sunken under eyes
