Non-Surgical Facelift

Introduction

Introduction to Non-Surgical Facelift

When we begin to see the visible signs of aging, such as a gaunt, drawn face or the beginning of the formation of jowls, we may feel that the time has come to find a solution to restore some of the youthfulness and vitality we once had and improve our tired, sagging, weathered appearance.

The gold standard procedure, in these cases, is most likely a traditional facelift. However, many patients are unwilling or unready to consider having surgery due to the pain, lengthy recovery period, and finality of the results. Moreover, many people may be open to a surgical facelift at some point in the future, but they don’t feel that they have reached the age at which this option would be reasonable. For patients interested in restoring youthful contours to their face, a non-invasive approach known as a non-surgical facelift, or liquid facelift, is available. This technique involves strategically placing a combination of BOTOX® and dermal fillers to revitalize and rejuvenate the appearance, reduce wrinkles, and increase volume.

Our team at Skinjectables in Toronto, Canada, is proud to offer this innovative anti-aging solution to our patients, helping them achieve a more refreshed and revitalized appearance, as well as increased confidence.

What is a Non-Surgical Facelift?

During the aging process, we lose fat, muscle, and bone mass in the face, all of which serve as its support structures. As these supports erode, the skin begins to droop and accumulate around the jawline. This erosion process causes the formation of deep folds and lines, which transfer the focal point from the eyes to the lower portion of the face. However, our Expert Injectors at Skinjectables in Toronto can address this loss of support and volume. By injecting a dermal filler into the cheekbone area, the jowls are lifted, and nasolabial folds are smoothed, recreating the “Triangle of Beauty” that is naturally seen in youthful faces.

Rather than commit to an irreversible procedure that requires a significant amount of downtime, many people are opting for a non-surgical facelift, also known as a Soft Lift, as it is a safe and effective treatment option. It requires minimal pain and recovery time and eliminates the risks associated with general anesthesia. Since the patient is awake during the procedure, they can give feedback, which will enable them to achieve the desired outcome. A non-surgical facelift is also significantly less expensive than a traditional facelift, which is a key consideration for most patients.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Non-Surgical Facelift?

This non-invasive procedure is ideal for individuals who feel that their appearance has begun to decline and that focusing on one area at a time is no longer sufficient. They may feel that their face is drooping to a greater extent than it used to, and they may perceive themselves as looking perpetually exhausted and run-down. A Soft Lift is the perfect solution for anyone who doesn’t feel ready to commit to a traditional facelift procedure due to the associated risks and extended downtime, or for anyone who would never pursue a surgical intervention to improve their appearance.

To qualify for a liquid facelift in Toronto, patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations for what the procedure can and cannot achieve. Our team will provide a detailed skin analysis and medical assessment to make sure a Soft Lift is the best solution for meeting your goals.

What’s the First Step?

Let’s Get Started With Non-Surgical Rejuvenation

During the initial assessment, one of our Nurse Injectors will determine if a liquid facelift will provide you with the results you desire. Please be candid about what you would like to accomplish with a non-surgical facelift. In addition, do not hesitate to ask questions related to the Soft Lift procedure. Please be prepared to discuss your medical history, including any medications and/or herbal supplements that you are currently taking, as well as information related to allergies and, if applicable, previous cosmetic procedures.

Once all the information is gathered and your facial assessment is complete, our Anti-Aging Expert Injector will discuss your options with you. If you are a suitable candidate for a Soft Lift, the procedure can be performed immediately, or an appointment will be scheduled at Skinjectables in Toronto. Following your liquid facelift, you will enjoy almost immediate results with minimal discomfort.

If you are not a good candidate for a Soft Lift, our Anti-Aging Specialist may discuss some of the other facial rejuvenation options available at Skinjectables.

What to Expect on the Day of a Non-Surgical Facelift Treatment

Our highly experienced Nurse Injectors will carefully select the areas of the patient’s face that will benefit from treatment with a dermal filler or BOTOX®. A liquid facelift typically takes between 30 minutes and an hour to complete. The length of time depends on the number of injections the patient requires to achieve their goal.

BOTOX® is often used for a non-surgical facelift, as it is highly effective at smoothing out areas of the skin prone to dynamic, movement-related wrinkles, including those in the forehead, the area between the brows, the sides of the eyes, above the mouth, and the chin. Expert application of BOTOX® to these areas will lead to a dramatic reduction in frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, smoker’s lines, and orange peel chin, respectively. BOTOX has many other uses, including lifting the eyebrows, raising the corners of the mouth to eliminate a depressed look, and narrowing the shape of the lower face to create a more attractive, youthful appearance.

Dermal fillers also comprise a significant component of non-surgical facelifts, as they are used to restore youthful fullness and lift sunken areas of the face. Since an aged appearance is largely a result of volume loss in the midface, a dermal filler such as Juvederm® Voluma can be added to the cheekbone area, thereby helping to lift jowls and smooth out nasolabial folds. This essentially helps to recreate the “Triangle of Beauty” that is present in youthful faces, meaning that most of the volume in the face is concentrated at the cheekbones, and the face tapers off as you move downward into a soft oval or heart shape. In addition to restoring youthful contours to the cheeks and improving the shape of the face, Juvederm products are also used to fill in lines and folds around the face as needed, such as the area around the mouth and the sunken area at the temples, both of which become depleted with age.

Non-Surgical Facelift Recovery

Quick & Easy Recovery

Although patient experiences vary, most of our patients enjoy a more youthful-looking appearance almost immediately. While these instant results are amazing, over the ensuing two weeks, the results attained during the Soft Lift will continue to develop, providing the patient with the rejuvenated and refreshed appearance they desire. These results can be maintained with liquid facelifts that are scheduled at regular intervals.

Mild side effects after a liquid facelift include swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites. To combat these short-lived symptoms, you can apply an ice pack to the skin and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Make sure to avoid strenuous exercise for 1-2 days and steer clear of the sun’s harmful UV rays.
