What is a liquid facelift?

If you would like to get rid of some wrinkles and remove saggy facial skin, you may think your only choice is a plastic surgery procedure. You may have your doubts about surgery, but don’t worry – there are other options. A liquid facelift may be the answer for you!

The benefits of a liquid facelift

A liquid facelift is a combination of fillers to tone up sagging skin, add volume where it is needed, and to erase fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike a plastic surgery procedure, a liquid facelift is noninvasive, which means it is less painful, there is less downtime involved, and it costs a lot less.

What fillers are used in a liquid facelift?

You and your doctor will meet to discuss your issues and what you hope to achieve with a liquid facelift. From there, your doctor will suggest the best fillers for your needs. There are many to choose from, including:

• Radiesse, which is used to fill in wrinkles and lines. It is made of microspheres filled with calcium hydroxylapatite, which stimulates the growth of collagen, which makes skin look younger and adds volume.

• Restylane adds volume to the skin, and it can also correct “laugh lines” around the mouth and other wrinkles. It is made up of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is essential to healthy skin.

• Juvéderm is also made up of hyaluronic acid, which helps to keep skin looking young and free of wrinkles.

The fillers used in liquid facelifts are safe and effective – many patients see the benefits of a liquid facelift for up to 2 years. The effects of a liquid facelift are also reversible, if you change your mind. And, most patients report that the procedure to get a liquid facelift is virtually painless, although there may be a bit of swelling or bruising at the injection site afterwards.

A liquid facelift is a great way to get younger-looking, firmer skin without the hassle of a plastic surgery procedure.

Start Now for a Shave-Free Summer

Are you dreaming of a warm summer breeze as you enjoy some time on the beach? It may be hard to imagine such a thing now, as the snow is falling and the wind is raging. But, believe it or not, summer will be here before we know it, and you can start preparing now! If you’re tired of shaving and waxing, you can start laser hair removal now for a smooth summer!

What are the benefits of laser hair removal?

What people love most about laser hair removal is, obviously, that you don’t have to worry about the hassle of shaving and the pain of waxing. It is very effective, as the hair follicle is destroyed so that hair won’t grow back (some people will see as much as a 90% reduction in hair). However, you may need touch ups now and then, possibly every few months.

Laser hair removal is also very safe, and it is FDA approved. Both men and women get laser hair removal treatments, to remove hair on the chest, abdomen, bikini area, legs, face, and arms.

Why do I have to plan for laser hair removal now?

Laser hair removal is very effective, but it does take more than one treatment. The number of sessions you need depends on your hair color and how coarse the hair is that you want removed – it can take 6 to 8 sessions to completely get rid of hair.

Another reason to plan ahead is that skin has to be prepared before the procedure. You will have to allow your tan to fade, and you’ll want to avoid the sun as much as you can for weeks before your treatment. You’ll also want to avoid too much exposure to the sun afterwards. Your doctor may have other instructions for you to follow as well.

For now, you may be only dreaming of warmer weather, and it may seem very far away – but making plans now can mean a shave-free, hassle-free summer. Contact Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center in Chester, New Jersey, for a laser hair removal appointment. Call (908) 879-2222 today!
