Anti-Aging Injectables
The Liquid Facelift
As we age, the face begins to lose collagen and elastin, which is reflected in sagging skin features, the loss of facial volume and elasticity, and finally the formation of wrinkles, creases, and folds.
The main goal of the facial liquid facelift is to restore and enhance your facial features while maintaining your natural look. In fact, injectables can potentially help you avoid surgery facelift if you start before the wrinkles and folds are too deep. An optimal face liquid facelift it’s achieved by injecting a combination of dermal fillers with the use of a wrinkle freezer like BOTOX ®.

She can create with Restylane® smoothness around the eye and tear-trough area between the eye and the cheek, with Botox® she minimizes crow’s-feet and can lift the brows to open the eyes.

How The Procedure is Done
|
At The Wellington Institute. Dr. Cabanellas first administer a nerve block or sometimes applies a numbing cream.
Some of the longer-lasting and permanent fillers contain Lidocaine making them almost painless after the first injection.

|
We suggest you stop taking aspirin and other medications a couple days before your procedure to limit bruising.
|
Post Procedure Care
| Some of the normal post procedure effects are swelling, bruising, and redness which varies depending on the patient, those effects can last from a few hours up to a week or more. |
 |
After this period the fillers settles in and you can see the full results right away.
Like anything else, the results of a liquid facelift depends very much on the fillers used, the amount used and most importantly the maintenance, a liquid facelift can last from four moths up to three years depending on these variables. |
Keep in mind the limitations of injectables and fillers so you don’t have false expectations, they are temporary so you have to repeat the procedure as soon as you see changes in order to avoid starting from scratch, they can provide fullness, and enhance your natural look but they cannot lift or tighten sagging skin. Finally, be careful with excess amount of fillers because they can ruin your natural appearance.
