Non-Surgical Facelift with Dermal Fillers

A non-surgical facelift with dermal fillers, also known as a liquid facelift, is a cosmetic procedure that restores facial volume and enhances your appearance with injectables.

As we age, it is common to experience a loss of facial volume, wrinkles, or fine lines. This is a completely natural process, but it can still be frustrating, leading people to seek treatment options to restore their vibrant, youthful look. While surgical procedures such as facelifts are a popular choice for many, these procedures can be complex and taxing on the individual. If you are looking to revitalize your facial appearance, there are many minimally invasive nonsurgical treatment options available, such as a non-surgical facelift with dermal fillers.

This type of treatment is considered an effective facial rejuvenation treatment when performed by an experienced professional with a good understanding of facial anatomy. ⁽¹⁾ Our team at True You Medical Aesthetic is the best the Bay Area has to offer when it comes to cosmetic procedures and can help you achieve the facial aesthetic you desire without having to endure the effects of surgical procedures.

About Non-Surgical Facelift Procedures with Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are some of the most popular non-surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation. They are injectable formulas designed to address common signs of aging, such as volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles. Collagen and elastin–proteins that help your skin maintain its structure– decline with age, which results in sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Some dermal fillers stimulate the production of collagen, which helps reduce the visible signs of aging. There are several different types of dermal filler treatments available, and these treatments can often be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures to achieve desired results. Dermal fillers can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and restore facial volume. ⁽¹⁾

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

The benefits of opting for dermal fillers to achieve your facial aesthetic goals are plentiful. Compared to other facial rejuvenation procedures, dermal fillers are administered via quick injections, meaning the procedure offers little to no recovery time for patients. Patients who receive dermal filler treatments might experience benefits that include, but are not limited to, the following:

You can enjoy significant improvements in your appearance after your treatment.

Preparation

Because this is a minimally invasive procedure, the preparation process is typically rather simple. Patients are advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for at least a week before the procedure. We will also ask you to refrain from using nicotine or alcohol in the days and weeks leading up to your treatment. You should arrive at your appointment with a clean face that is free of makeup and skincare products. Any specific preparation instructions will be provided to you by our team.

Procedure

Much like the preparation process, the procedure itself is a relatively simple process, especially when compared to surgical facelift procedures. Before your treatment, a topical anesthetic may be applied to the treatment areas to ensure comfort. Our team will then use a fine needle to administer the dermal fillers to the chosen areas. At our office, we offer many different options for dermal fillers that can provide healthy-looking volume to the face. Depending on your goals, we can recommend the injectables that will be most effective for you. Some fillers are formulated with gel-like hyaluronic acid (HA), which provides more immediate volume by binding to water molecules. Other injectables, like Sculptra, add volume to the face over time by triggering collagen production.

For most patients, the process entails minimal discomfort and will usually take less than an hour, assuming no additional treatments are added. This treatment duration may vary. The procedure process might look different for each patient, depending on their personalized treatment plan and the areas they are looking to enhance.

After Your Treatment

Because this is a non-invasive procedure, the recovery process is often minimal for most patients. Some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but this is usually temporary and will subside within a few days. Patients can expect to return to their day-to-day functions immediately after their treatment. Your professional will let you know what precautions you should take for the first few days after your treatment; these may involve avoiding putting undue pressure on the treated areas, keeping your head elevated, and avoiding strenuous activities.

Results

One of the reasons why dermal fillers are a popular treatment option for facelift procedures is their ability to produce impactful results with minimal downtime. Depending on your goals, your injector can use a combination of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which provide more immediate volume that will be visible after your appointment, and biostimulatory injections like Sculptra. Biostimulatory injections add volume by improving collagen production in the skin, meaning results from these kinds of injections develop over time.

The results of a liquid facelift can last anywhere from a few months to a year or longer, depending on the kinds of injectables you receive. The duration of the results can vary for each patient. If you would like to maintain your results, you can arrange touch-up treatments with our office.
