Unlike a surgical facelift, which involves cutting and stitching the skin that is sagging, a Liquid Facelift uses Hyaluronic Acid based dermal filler, to revolumise and plump up areas of the face that have lost volume with the aging process. This plumping will reduce lines and sagging rejuvenating the face, leaving the skin looking fresher and younger.

Which areas are treated during a liquid facelift?
