How long does a Liquid Facelift Last?

Posted on July 26, 2016 by adminmms

How long does a Liquid Facelift Last? A liquid facelift is an innovative non-surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face using dermal fillers and Botox. This medspa procedure has become increasingly popular in recent times because of its minimally invasive approach and fairly sustainable outcomes.
During the initial consultation, the treatment provider will explain various aspects of a liquid facelift, including its estimated longevity of results. Motykie medical spa provides liquid facelift and other procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

Long Lasting

A liquid facelift medspa procedure will typically involve Botox or Dysport injections to reduce the frown lines from the face, and facial fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, and Radiesse to address other facial signs of aging. If applied individually, the results with Botox may last for about three to six months. Longevity of results with dermal fillers varies from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used.
When these injectables are used in an optimal combination to create a liquid facelift, the results can be more effective and last for a relatively longer period. However, the results will not be permanent. Maintenance procedures can be performed every six to 18 months to ensure extended cosmetic benefits of liquid facelift.
One of the advantages with maintenance procedures is that the facial appearance can be altered the way a person wishes to age over time and enjoy a more natural looking appearance. The procedure is highly customizable to meet the unique facial anatomical and personal aesthetic needs of a patient.
When maintenance procedures are periodically performed, particularly with dermal filler injectables, it improves natural collagen production in the skin each time. Therefore, the results become progressively longer lasting and more sustainable. The ideal goal should be to schedule touch-up appointments while there is still some filler gel present in the facial skin.

Choice of Fillers

If the patient suffers from depletion of facial volume in the mid-face or cheek area, the treatment provider may recommend Juvederm Voluma or Restylane Lyft dermal filler. These fillers include a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid, which is a key ingredient in many facial fillers. The results with these volumizing cheek fillers can last for 18 months to two years with a single treatment.
Similarly, fillers such as Sculptra or Radiesse tend to produce longer lasting outcomes because of the strength of their composition. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for liquid facelift and various other procedures.

Variations in Longevity

The longevity of results with liquid facelift can sometimes vary from one patient to another. The location of the treated area, the amount of injectable treatment received, the type of fillers used, the skill of the treatment provider, the degree of natural elasticity in the patient’s skin, and type and quality of skin will make a difference to how long the results of a liquid facelift procedure may last.
Patients should choose a fully trained and skilled provider in order to achieve long lasting and natural looking results with a liquid facelift.
