What Is a Liquid Facelift?

A liquid facelift is a nonsurgical treatment that uses dermal fillers and BOTOX®, Dysport®, or DAXXIFY®, to lift, contour, and rejuvenate the face without surgery. However, every liquid facelift is unique. Multiple treatment combinations address early signs of aging, including skin laxity and volume loss. These include hyaluronic acid-based fillers and biostimulators, such as Sculptra®, that trigger the gradual production of new collagen. This customized treatment is performed in-office and typically takes under an hour.

Loved my experience here – from the time you walk in, you are greeted so professionally and their doctor and staff were amazing to work with. Thank you RefinedMD! I will definitely recommend you to others and you’ll be my first go to from now on…

Can You Benefit From a Liquid Facelift?

Ideal candidates for a liquid facelift include patients who exhibit mild signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, or minimal volume loss, and do not have excessively sagging skin or pronounced jowls. It’s important to consider that the treatments require maintenance and are intended to enhance volume or smooth out lines.

The liquid facelift is best for people who:

  • Have mild to moderate facial aging
  • Want to smooth creases, soften folds, and restore volume
  • Aren’t ready for a surgical facelift
  • Want results with little to no downtime

If you’re in your 30s to 50s and starting to notice your face looks tired or deflated, but you’re not ready for a facelift, this treatment is designed for you.

What To Expect During Treatment

Our providers customize your liquid facelift, starting with a consultation to discuss your concerns, map where you’ve lost volume, and identify the lines you want to minimize.

Your treatment may include:

  • Dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM® or Restylane® lift and contour the cheeks, smooth smile lines, and restore youthful fullness, while Sculptra and RADIESSE® stimulate new collagen
  • BOTOX, Dysport, or DAXXIFY relaxes frown lines and softens expression wrinkles

Our injectors’ expert technique ensures natural, balanced results that move with your face.

The 30- to 60-minute treatment uses tiny needles or flexible cannulas, and we offer options for numbing the treatment area if you are concerned about discomfort. Most patients describe the experience as quick and comfortable.
