As a leading trend in anti-aging, a liquid facelift is a nonsurgical solution that patients can customize to reduce sagging and restore volume in the face. But the more natural results don’t last forever.
How Long Does A Liquid Facelift Last?
While it isn’t a permanent solution, a liquid facelift lasts six months to two years, depending on several factors:
Type of Injectable
The lasting effects of a liquid facelift depend on the injectables the plastic surgeon uses in the treatment, such as JUVEDERM® and VOLUMA® or BOTOX® cosmetics.
- Botox:Â Once every three to four months
- Juvéderm: Up to one year
- Juvéderm Voluma: Up to two years
Location of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers and BOTOX last longer in the areas of the face with less muscle movement, such as the nose and under the eyes. The lips and mouth have more muscle movement, which can reduce the duration of effectiveness.
Some injectables last longer than 12 months in certain areas like cheeks, chin, and under eyes.
Maintenance Plan
Touch-up sessions are normal to maintain the desired effect of the liquid facelift. Some common dermal fillers require maintenance in the 4 to 6-month range to maximize the anti-aging results.
You and your doctor will develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your personal goals and your skin’s unique needs.
Ways To Make Liquid Facelift Last Longer
- Minimize UV exposure:Â The best policy is to wear sunscreen with SPF 35 or higher in direct sunlight.
- Proper skincare routine:Â Staying hydrated enhances the effect of hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm. Your doctor will recommend skin care products that work best for you and your skin type.
- Manage stress levels:Â High stress levels will reduce the lifespan of a liquid facelift. Meditation and yoga are proven stress relief techniques.
- Healthy diet:Â Patients are encouraged to limit sugar intake and to steer clear of packaged and processed foods.
