Liquid Facelift in London: All You Should Know

Overview of Liquid facelift

Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to lower the appearance of saggy skin and lines during the procedure for a liquid facelift. Your healthcare provider will review your medical history. Common side effects like swelling, redness, and bruising post treatment may be experienced. This medical procedure must be done by a fully-trained and qualified medical expert, and for convenience, it can be done in-office. The timeframe is between 15 to 30 minutes, and in a session, it can be completed. Time for recovery is minimal so you can get back to work quickly. Should you need a provider for this treatment, you can get one online.

In comparison with facelift done via surgery, a liquid facelift is cheaper. Your Aesthetic Practitioner and filler type determine the precise cost you'll pay. Medical insurance may not cover cosmetic work like this treatment.

When it comes to efficacy, liquid facelift fixes sagging and wrinkles well. They can make your skin more youthful and fresh again. Results from this procedure aren't instant like what you get from surgery.

Defining liquid facelift

This is an alternative to making the skin look younger without going through a blade. Dermal fillers are used here.

You can achieve in addition to lesser wrinkles and sagging, the following from this treatment:

• Fuller lips
• Fill up sunken cheeks
• Reduction of hollow areas around the eyes
• Fix wrinkles located on your forehead, eyes, and lips

The best condition that qualifies for a liquid facelift is fewer wrinkles and sagging. You may need a surgical facelift if wrinkles and sagging are excessive.

What's the cost of a liquid facelift?

This comes down to your location as plastic surgeons charge different prices at different places. Your choice of dermal fillers and the number of injections you need also determines the cost.

Consult a plastic surgeon to get a more precise quote. However, when booking online, an initial deposit of £50 may be made. Being a cosmetic work, insurance cover may not be available. You don't have to fear the loss of labour hours because this treatment takes less time.

How does the liquid facelift function?

As you grow older, the collagen and elastin - connective tissues in your skin break down. There may be loss of facial fat too. A lot of persons think of this as an introduction to ageing, so they desire to restore their youthfulness.

Areas in the skin layers are filled up by fillers to make it plumper and lower saggy or wrinkled skin.

What's the treatment procedure?

After you get a dermatologist, you need to tell them what you need. The expert will evaluate your face and skin condition and discuss the treatment with you.

A local anaesthetic may be administered to make the area to be worked on numb and help you relax during the start of the procedure. Your face will now be injected. Expect a little needle sting. With all the injection taking a few minutes each, they can be administered in a session - this takes 15 to 30 minutes.

What body areas are likely worked on?

The main focus of this treatment is usually the face. However, dermal fillers can find use on your hands as well.

So, when it comes to facial treatment, your dermatologist may concentrate on areas like:

• The jowls
• Folds between nose and mouth
• Under the eyes
• The cheeks
• Near the eyebrows
• Around scars
• The temples

Bear in mind that your procedure is tailor-made to suit your preference since everybody is not the same.

What are the risks or side effects?

A liquid facelift may cause very little bruising, particularly if done around your eyes. This can get worse if you're on any blood thinners. Kindly let your Aesthetic Practitioner know about any medications or supplements you are taking be it as simple as a multivitamin.

Post treatment may see you having little swelling, redness, and pain. Complications can also arise in certain cases, and these include:

• Allergic reactions
• Infections like staphylococcus or strep contracted via needle hole
• Flare ups of herpes simplex virus (HSV)
• Skin necrosis arising from filler that's entered the blood vessels via the injection

It's very uncommon for complications to happen, but we advise you to monitor your skin and report any flu-like symptoms or allergies you are having to your healthcare provider.

Post treatment expectations

The procedure is not complex so you can resume work the day after. Should the bruising be quite serious, you can call in sick and stay at home.

How to care for your skin after getting fillers will be explained to you by the Aesthetic Practitioner. To lower swelling, you may be advised to apply ice cubes on your face once treatment is done. Avoid serious exercise, sun, and tanning beds post treatment.

Should it be that your plastic surgeon used the poly-L-lactic acid type of filler, there may be a need to massage the injected area. Except you're permitted to face massage by your dermatologist, kindly keep your hands off the area injected for a minimum of 3 days. This type of fillers brings up results after several weeks. But if your Aesthetic Practitioner didn't use this type of filler - poly-L-lactic acid, you'll see results instantly. And it can last between 6 to 24 months; depends on the filler type anyway. To keep your results up, more fillers may be needed. Consult your Aesthetic Practitioner on the lifespan of your fillers and when another one will be needed.

Procedural preparations

Don't wear facial makeup, get a sunburn or have a wound or an infection on those face parts to be treated. Two days to the procedure don't take alcohol, aspirin, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen and naproxen.

Get enough rest before the treatment and be early at your appointment to give you time to relax and get ready.

We advise you to consult your dentist if you need to do anything as preparation.

Comparing liquid facelift and surgical facelift

A lot of persons will opt for a liquid facelift since:

• It cost less
• It's subtle and has natural-looking results
• Pain is minimal
• Bruising is less
• Procedure is quick
• Recovery time is less

In the face of these advantages, a surgical facelift will have a more dramatic effect. Discuss with your Aesthetic Practitioner for advice on which option is right for you.

Getting a provider

Bear in mind that non-surgical facelift needs to be performed by medical experts. Find out if your provider has the requisite experience and expertise in this treatment before having it. Request that they show you pre- and post pictures of what they have done.

Discuss with your Aesthetic Practitioner or healthcare provider for a referral to a specialist around you.

Care after the procedure

A liquid facelift requires no aftercare, so you can go back to your regular activities at once. Seek medical help if you notice any swelling or continuous bruising.

Cautions and contraindications

People with serious allergies, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, are not the right candidates for this treatment.
