Q

WIs liquid facelift the same as fillers?

A

No. Although traditional filler is based on hyaluronic acid, it is mixed with a chemical called BDDE, has a thicker structure and is used to fill gaps and sit in lines and creases. The new generation filler used in the liquid facelift is more natural (does not contain BDDE) and goes into the skin at a slightly shallower point, where it then disperses out under the cells.

Q

Will I see results instantly?

A

You will see an improvement in the skin after your first treatment, but best results are seen after 4 weeks, as the new skin cells reach the surface.

Q

How many treatments are recommended?

A

You should have a second treatment 4 weeks after the first treatment, after which it is recommended that you return for top up treatments once every 6 months.

Q

Which areas can be treated?

A

Although the treatment is referred to as the liquid facelift, it is also suitable for the hands and neck.

Q

Who is it suitable for?

A

The treatment is most suitable for those who are noticing signs of ageing in their skin, such as sagging, lack of plumpness and elasticity and general lacklustre appearance.

You must be over 18 years old. A thorough consultation will be carried out prior to treatment to ascertain your medical history, allergies and so on, to ensure you are suitable to proceed.

You should not have this treatment if you are p regnant or breastfeeding, suffer from neuromuscular disorders or have a prolonged bleeding time (due to medication or blood conditions) or a history of dysphagia and aspiration.
