What Is a Non-Surgical Facelift?

A non-surgical facelift involves the utilization of neuromodulators, dermal fillers, skin resurfacing, laser rejuvenation, and other non-surgical treatments on key regions of the face. Neuromodulators are products that allow contracted muscles to relax, reducing fine wrinkles. Dermal fillers are products that restore skin volume, filling in moderate and harsh creases and depressions in the skin.

Many injectables are used in combination for this procedure. Botox, a neuromodulator, can be used, along with fillers like Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Volbella (a lip filler), and Vollure. Injectables are selected based on the areas being treated.

Ideal Candidates for a Non-Surgical Facelift

The ideal candidate for a liquid facelift is a person looking to address facial wrinkles and hollows without undergoing surgery. It is best for patients looking for a smaller degree of rejuvenation.

A liquid facelift is not for someone who has a lot of sagging skin or extensive signs of aging. It is also not meant for those who want permanent results, since fillers typically last for up to a year depending on the chosen fillers.

How It Works

Collagen and elastin are two proteins in the skin that keep it smooth and young. As a person ages, the skin starts to become less elastic as these proteins deplete. The result is loose skin that forms wrinkles.

Dermal fillers contain substances that plump up the skin and make it smoother. Some of the fillers used also encourage collagen and elastin production. This makes the skin appear younger in a natural way.

Neuromodulators block nerve impulses to contracted muscles, allowing them to relax. This in turn allows the overlying skin to relax, making age lines disappear.

How Is It Performed?

A non-surgical facelift can take around 15 to 30 minutes depending on the extent of rejuvenation desired. After determining the proper combination of injectables, Dr. Batniji marks the areas to be treated. The injectables are then administered. Many fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic used to numb the region for patient comfort.

Aftercare

There is no downtime or recovery time required after a non-surgical facelift. Depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals, more than one session may be needed. The results usually last for six months to a year or in some cases longer, after which time the procedure can be repeated.
