There is no doubt that much has changed in the field of Cosmetic Surgery during the past years. We are living in a time when people seek easy, painless ways to look young and healthy. Minimum invasive procedures tend to become the golden rule as they allow for immediate recovery and prompt return to work after treatment. To a great extent, this trend is based on technologies that now allow us to achieve perfect results with minimum strain and pain.
What is liquid Face Lift?
Liquid Face Lift is a combinative facial treatment that may offer a nice and natural result without the use of a scalpel. More specifically, the treatment combines Botox/ Dysport, Hyaluronic acid, Microdermabrasion, Laser and Mesotherapy, that chisel, rejuvenate and improve the face.
What exactly does it involve?
Liquid Face Lift is performed in 2 stages. The first stage includes careful injection of fillers into the face.
- Botox/Dysport injection: smoothes out wrinkles around the eyes, forehead and glabella.
- Injection of Hyaluronic acid (three (3) different types):
- In the second phase, microdermabrasion or laser or mesotherapy for improvement of texture and elasticity of the skin.
What do we achieve with this combinative treatment?
- Unwanted wrinkles are smoothed out.
- The lost volume of the face is reinstated.
- The skin's texture and elasticity improve.
- The skin is fully hydrated.
- New collagen is produced.
- Surgical interventions are postponed.
We manage to give the face a young and healthy look.
Which are the advantages of this technique?
- It may be performed at the clinic and takes 1-2 hours.
- There are no incisions.
- The patient may return to work immediately.
Is there a secret for best results?
1. Good selection of candidate patients. Patients with increased skin laxity should undergo a regular face lift.
2. The doctor must be trained on the entire therapeutic spectrum of face rejuvenation. This means perfect skills, not only on non-invasive treatments such as Botox/Dysport, Hyaluronic acid, laser, mesotherapy, but also good skills on MACS FACE LIFT, NECK LIFT and BROW LIFT.
What is the aim of a face lift?
Our goal is to give the patient a youthful and fresh look, as well as symmetry and harmony without surgery or scalpel.
Which face type is considered appropriate for this treatment?
A face that has lost its volume and has developed folds, wrinkles and patches is appropriate for this treatment.
Before the treatment
Patient is provided with full detail of the treatment. The procedure begins with the application of local anaesthetic cream on the areas where hyaluronic acid is to be injected.
During treatment
Injection of small amounts of Βοtox and hyaluronic acid. During treatment with Botox/Dysport, the protein is injected straight into the targeted muscles of the face. As a result, 3-5 days after the session you will witness the first results of the application. Because we use a very small needle – the smallest one available – patients may feel a light but absolutely temporary discomfort. Hyaluronic acid comes in ampoules of 1 ml.
After treatment
You may experience temporary redness, minor oedemas, bruising or headache. During the first six (6) hours you must refrain from any kind of facial massage in order to make sure that Βotox/Dysport is not transferred to other areas.
It is also advisable to avoid intense exercising during the first 24hours after the medicine is injected. If precautions are not followed, unintended results such as the eyelid dropping downwards might occur.
What does the second phase include?
After treatment with Βotox/Dysport and hyaluronic acid and when wrinkles disappear, the volume of the face is reinstated, deep wrinkles are smoothed out - mainly in the centre of the face – and the facial contour improves. We can then proceed with:
Α) Mesotherapy → For hydration
Β) Microdermabrasion →Improvement of the skin’s texture
C) Laser or IPC → Improvement of the skin’s texture and smoothing out of patches or other spots on the face.
Advantages of the technique:
- No surgery
- No incisions
- Minimum or no pain
- Natural results
- Fast recovery; return to work one hour after treatment.
