Considering a Non-Surgical Facelift? Here’s What to Expect
A non-surgical facelift, also known as a liquid facelift, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the face without the need for surgery. This innovative treatment involves using a combination of injectable dermal fillers and muscle relaxants to lift, tighten, and contour the facial features, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look.
Unlike traditional surgical facelifts, which involve incisions, anaesthesia, and downtime, non-surgical facelifts are minimally invasive and require little to no recovery time. They are ideal for busy people who don’t have a lot of time to devote to recovery. The procedure can be performed in a clinical setting by a skilled facial aesthetics practitioner, such as myself, here on Harley Street.
A non-surgical facelift is best suited for people who are looking to address signs of ageing, such as sagging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss in the face. It can also be beneficial for those who want to enhance their facial contours, add definition to the cheeks and jawline, and achieve a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
One of the key benefits of a non-surgical facelift is that it allows for a bespoke approach to facial rejuvenation. The treatment can be personalised to suit each person’s unique needs and desired outcomes, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance their natural beauty.
A non-surgical facelift is a safe and effective option for those looking to achieve a more youthful appearance without the risks and downtime associated with surgery. If you are considering this procedure, I would be happy to discuss your options and create a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Here’s what to expect:
When getting a non-surgical facelift, you can expect a relatively quick and straightforward procedure that typically takes about 30-60 minutes to complete.
Consultation: Before the procedure, a consultation with Dr Raffaella Gabassi will be conducted to discuss the your goals, concerns, medical history, and expectations. A personalised treatment plan will be created based on these discussions.
Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed and prepped for the procedure. Topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise any discomfort during the injections.
Injections: Dr Gabassi will carefully inject dermal fillers and muscle relaxants into specific areas of the face to lift, tighten, and contour the features. The injections may cause some mild discomfort, but the numbing cream will help to minimise any pain.
Results: Immediately after the treatment, individuals may notice some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days.
Recovery: There is little to no downtime associated with a non-surgical facelift. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and certain medications for a few days post-treatment.
Results: The results of a non-surgical facelift are typically visible immediately, with continued improvement over the following weeks as the fillers settle and integrate into the skin. The effects can last anywhere from 6-18 months, depending on the type of fillers used and individual factors.
Follow-up: A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to assess the results and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the desired outcome.
At 4 Harley Street, you can expect a safe, minimally invasive procedure that offers natural-looking and rejuvenating results with little to no downtime.
