Liquid Facelift

Vlog how sensitive is a liquid facelift?

The liquid facelift is a cosmetic treatment that takes half an hour to an hour. After treatment, the person who has undergone the treatment may have some facial muscle pain. The face can also feel a bit dull. Compared to a real facelift - which involves cutting - a liquid facelift is much less painful. However, both treatments have the same goal in mind: tighter, younger-looking skin.

Difference between liquid facelift and facelift

But what exactly is a liquid facelift? The liquid facelift is also known as a “whole face treatment”. It is a combination of specialized treatment techniques and fillers. For example, measured amounts of hyaluronic acid are injected at various locations in the skin under local anaesthesia. In this way, facial sagging skin can be repaired. The volume of the skin comes back. A surgical facelift, on the other hand, takes place on the operating table. Not only is subcutaneous tissue tightened, the skin is also pulled tight. In this way, a natural effect is sought. The recovery is much longer than with the liquid facelift. For example, the patient usually has to stay in the hospital overnight. The feeling in the skin can be lost; sometimes it takes up to two years before it comes back. Difference between liquid facelift and surgical facelift
