Aging is a beautiful process. But if the passing of time is not kind to you, Kliniek Dokter Frodo has developed a solution: the liquid facelift.
The liquid facelift is also called the whole face treatment. It is a combination of fillers (such as Restylane or Juvéderm) and specialised treatment techniques that make it possible to restore weaknesses in the face. In contract to a surgical facelift, where part of the skin is cut away, the liquid facelift uses the recovery of volume to achieve a lifting effect. A facelift without cuts, and therefore, without surgery.
The small, mutually reinforcing procedures lead to a natural result in which your face regains its volume and youthfulness. We only restore the volume that has been lost in the normal aging process. Therefore, you do not have to worry about getting a bloated face, also called a pillow face.

During his career as a cosmetic doctor, Doctor Frodo specialized in treatments with fillers and Botox. He now has more than a decade of experience performing cosmetic treatments on men and women.
In addition to being a cosmetic doctor at the NVCG, Doctor Frodo is a trainer of other cosmetic doctors. Furthermore, all doctors within the clinic are affiliated with the Allergan Medical Institute, the Dutch Society of Skin Therapists, and the Dutch Aesthetic Laser Association.
The liquid facelift is also known as the “whole face” treatment. It is a combination of fillers (such as Restylane or Juvéderm) and specialized treatment techniques that allow us to restore sagging in the face. We also restore volume in the liquid facelift to create a lifting effect.
With the treatments, with small, mutually reinforcing procedures, we create a natural result where your face regains its volume and youthfulness. We restore only the volume lost through the normal aging process. So you don’t have to worry about getting a bloated face, which we also call “pillow face.
During the aging process, volume is lost particularly in the area around the temples, cheekbones/cheeks and under the eyes. By restoring volume in those very areas, your natural appearance is preserved.
There is an important difference between the liquid facelift and the surgical facelift. With a surgical facelift, the doctor cuts away a piece of skin, tightening excess skin. This may result in a slightly harsher look, because the filling of the face is not restored.
With the liquid facelift, we replenish the loss of volume with hyaluronic acid fillers. We reduce excess skin by replenishing volume in natural areas.
Besides the fact that a surgical facelift may result in a harder look, the downtime is a lot longer. You have to go under anaesthesia and scars remain visible at first. With a liquid facelift treatment, you will see results almost immediately and only possibly experience swelling or bruising.
For more information on the differences, watch the video or read our blog article about surgical facelift surgery.
During the liquid facelift, we use hyaluronic acid fillers. These are fillers based on a body’s own substance called hyaluronidase. We exclusively use the A-brands Juvéderm and Restylane. The body slowly breaks down the filler after a few months. Did the treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers not go as you expected? Then it is possible to have the fillers dissolved.
| Liquid facelifts | Prijs |
|---|---|
| Liquid Facelift (light/medium/intens) | € 3.500,- € 5.100,- € 6.800,- |
| 9 point shape (light/medium/intense) | € 2.550,- € 3.400,- € 4.100,- |
We use different types of liquid facelifts at Clinic Doctor Frodo: the liquid facelift, the 9-point shape and the C-eyelift. The treatments can then be divided into different degrees of intensity.
Our clinic has performed over 14,000 liquid facelifts and we always provide natural results. Our cosmetic doctor, Doctor Frodo, has years of experience in the field of fillers and even trains others to become cosmetic doctors.
Prior to each treatment, we look at the entire face, not just the area where you want to see change. We may suggest a different treatment because we see that it produces better results and brings out your natural beauty better. We may even turn you down. On average, we do not treat 1 in 5 people who come to us for a consultation. They have an incorrect expectation or we feel they do not need treatment because they already have a beautiful, youthful and healthy face.

For a natural result, it is important to restore the altered anatomy caused by facial aging. We look at all the different face areas that, depending on bone structure, muscle and subcutaneous fat, among others, determine the appearance. A liquid facelift is actually composed of several components that make up a whole: such as the C-eyelift, jawline and chin and mouth region.
As mentioned earlier, there are more types of liquid facelifts than just the liquid facelift treatment itself. We would like to explain the X-lift and the C-eyelift in a little more detail.
The X-lift is a treatment with fillers that is more about treating the first visible signs of aging. As such, it is a treatment that we mainly use on somewhat younger men and women. The treatment is intended to refresh the skin: it will not be a whole face approach, like the liquid facelift.
Another treatment we use to restore volume is the C-eyelift. We use this treatment to treat the area under the eyes. With it, we reduce or remove volume loss that causes bags under the eyes.
Prior to the liquid facelift, a comprehensive consultation always takes place first, during which the doctor conducts a comprehensive analysis of your facial and aging features. If necessary, we take a 3D photo that allows the doctor to analyze and show the desired result in combination with your facial features prior to the liquid facelift.
We restore volume loss and sagging skin (almost) completely with the liquid facelift. However, to ensure a beautiful and natural result, we do not fully repair severe sagging skin with fillers. Often this is not necessary. At Clinic Doctor Frodo we do not believe in too smooth, emotionless faces.
We work with the MD Codes™, based on which we insightfully discuss the treatment with you and tailor the treatment perfectly to your individual needs. The MD Codes™ are injection points for fillers that have been shown to do exactly what we want: lift and refresh the face and naturally improve problem areas.
We restore volume where it has been lost using Restylane or Juvéderm. This way, your face is naturally “lifted,” wrinkles are reduced and your smooth jawline and youthful curves make a comeback.
Due to anaesthesia, the treatment is virtually painless. Depending on your specific situation and the treatment plan drawn up, the liquid facelift treatment takes between 30 and 60 minutes.
Immediately after treatment, the skin can be massaged and cooled with a cold pack. This provides a comfortable closure and helps reduce the possible swelling that occurs after the liquid facelift treatment.
The most common side effects after the liquid facelift are swelling and redness; these disappear in most cases within 2 to 7 days. Sometimes there is also bruising. This may be visible for 1 to 2 weeks. In this case, avoid direct sunlight on the skin to prevent pigmentation.
The liquid facelift is a great treatment if the sagging skin is not too bad yet. If the sagging skin is further developed, we recommend undergoing a surgical facelift. During the comprehensive intake consultation with the consultant and doctor, you will discuss which treatment is best for you. We often combine the liquid facelift with skin therapy to improve skin quality.
To ensure a natural result, we usually choose to perform the treatment in several steps. During the check-up, which takes place 4 to 6 weeks after your liquid facelift, we review the result and continue the treatment if necessary.
Hyaluronic acid is slowly broken down by the body after 1.5 to 2 years. There are large individual differences and in most people it stays in place much longer. We advise you not to wait until the result is completely gone, but to come back in time for a touch-up to avoid a yo-yo effect.

We perform various forms of liquid facelifts almost every day. We are specialized in performing a very natural liquid facelift. We find it important that no one should be able to see that you have been treated (this seems logical, but ultimately this is one of the biggest challenges with a liquid facelift).
By conducting the treatment in several steps, we can guarantee this natural result. As a trainer at Allergan, Dr. Frodo trains doctors internationally to perform the liquid facelift.
The whole face approach is a way of looking at the face by our doctors. We find it especially important that the whole face is correct and that everything looks natural. For example, it may be that one particular line bothers you very much. One quickly thinks that a local filler only at that line can solve the problem. However, this is often not the case. If you change something on one side of the face, it must also be changed on the other side to keep the whole in balance. For instance, sometimes a treatment can look more natural if you use just a little more milliliters of the product.
The doctor will ask questions about your health, medication use and previous procedures. Try to answer these questions as comprehensively as possible.
The cost of the liquid facelift depends on the volume loss that has taken place. With a preventive treatment or when there is little volume loss, the price is low because we will need fewer fillers to replenish the volume. View liquid facelift prices.

A liquid facelift is recommended for people with normal to severe volume loss and/or sagging skin. For someone who suffers from volume loss to a lesser degree and would like to do something about it anyway, the V-lift may be a better fit.
Make sure you are present in our clinic 30 minutes before the treatment. If desired, we can apply numbing cream (Emla). To prevent swelling, you can take an Ibuprofen on the day of treatment.
To prevent bruising:
If you are afraid of needles and still want to undergo treatment, we will provide extra guidance and make sure you are completely comfortable. With the right tools, we can get you through the treatment without you experiencing pain or fear.
We restore volume where it has been lost using small injections. For example, the area at the temples, cheekbones/cheeks and under the eyes are filled with Restylane or Juvdérm. This way, your face is “lifted” in a natural way.
To ensure a natural result, we usually choose to do the treatment in several stages. Four to six weeks after the first liquid facelift treatment, we make a check-up appointment. During this appointment we will check the result with you and if necessary we will continue the treatment.
Generally, the treatment takes 30 minutes to an hour. Prior to the treatment, everything will be discussed with you calmly. Immediately after the treatment, you can cool the treated area for 10-30 minutes.
The liquid facelift treatment is generally not perceived as painful. At first, you may feel a sting, but this only lasts for a very short time. Juvéderm contains lidocaine, which temporarily numbs the tissue locally.

If necessary, we can numb the area to be treated. We use Emla cream for this purpose.
Usually the skin is a little red and swollen after the treatment. This will go away quickly. In thin skin a bruise may appear where the injection took place, which will remain visible for a few days. This is easy to camouflage with makeup. With the right precautions, we know to limit the side effects as much as possible.
After the treatment, you will see immediate results but the skin may still be somewhat red and swollen. The hyaluronic acid needs two to six weeks to settle properly into the surrounding tissue and regulates moisture. You will see that the result becomes increasingly beautiful.

At Clinic Doctor Frodo we work with hyaluronic acid fillers. These are fillers that consist of a substance that occurs naturally in the body and thus greatly reduces the risk of side effects. However, there is a small chance of the formation of nodules, infection or an allergic reaction. In all cases, the filler is soluble.
The most common side effects are swelling, redness, the possibility of bruising and sensitivity. These disappear in most cases within 2 to 7 days.
The most commonly used brand at our clinic is Juvéderm. Juvéderm itself has different types of fillers. The difference in these types is in the size of the particles. For puffiness and lips, we generally use Juvéderm Volbella. This is a very fine and soft filler. For the other parts of the face (nasolabial fold, corners of the mouth, jawline, cheeks and cheekbone) we mainly use Juvéderm Voluma. This has a slightly thicker consistency and therefore provides a little more firmness. Another product that can be used for this is Restylane.
Filling the cheeks with your own fat is also called lipofilling. At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we prefer hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Studies show safety and efficacy. More than 20 million treatments have been performed with it worldwide. It has long-lasting results but is not permanent. Hyaluronic acid is also soluble.
There are many different types of fillers on the market. We work primarily with Juvéderm and Restylane.
If you have been previously treated with other temporary fillers, try to find out exactly which filler you were treated with so we can estimate if they will interact.
If permanent fillers have been used before, to avoid unnecessary risk, we recommend not treating again.
Primarily fillers are used to restore volume loss. If desired, Botox can also be used to reduce a frown wrinkle or forehead wrinkle, for example. This is different for everyone. During the consultation we discuss the wishes of the client and make a personal treatment plan for everyone.
At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we only work with temporary fillers. Hyaluronic acid is slowly broken down after 1.5 to 2 years. There are great individual differences and usually it stays in place much longer. The aging of the face continues slowly (it loses more volume), so after 1.5 years the result may be a little off. The filler is still in there then, but to maintain the result you need a touch-up treatment.
We guarantee the best result. In the unlikely event that you are not satisfied with the result and want to undo the treatment, we can dissolve the hyaluronic acid with hyalurondaise without any problem and without any residual symptoms.
Immediately after the treatment, you can cool the treated area for 10-30 minutes.
For the first 2-4 hours after treatment, you are requested to:
– Do not apply makeup and avoid contact with the injected skin.
– Do not apply intense pressure to the treated area or engage in sports.
For the first 2 weeks after treatment, please:
– Avoid direct sunlight and use sunblock daily.
– Do not undergo peelings, laser, microdermabrasion or other facial treatments by a beautician.
A possible bruise has no adverse effect on the final result. You can camouflage the injection site with foundation if necessary.
The breakdown of the injected hyaluronic acid can start after 1 to 1.5 years. In addition, the aging process itself does not stand still. To maintain consistent results, it is desirable to do a touch-up in time and not wait until you are ”back to square one”.
In general, you can exercise immediately after filler treatment. However, we do not recommend it.
The first few weeks after treatment, all types of facial massages are not recommended. After this, a relaxing facial massage is fine, but a connective tissue massage is not recommended. If you still desire a massage, we recommend that you tell the beautician what kind of treatment you have had, so that he/she can take this into account.
