What does a "no-scalpel facelift" mean?
Our faces change as we go through life. Our cheekbones become less prominent, our jawline loses its definition, and our skin looks tired even when we’ve had a perfect night’s sleep.
The non-surgical facelift is based on a treatment philosophy that views the face as a whole. A strategically designed comprehensive treatment lifts and refreshes the facial features with natural elegance. The goal is not to alter a person’s unique appearance or hide every laugh line, but to bring out the face’s most beautiful features.
at VM Aesthetics , the at VM Aesthetics facelift is performed as a “liquid facelift” treatment. In this treatment, Harmonyca, hyaluronic acid fillers, and botulinum toxin complement each other. Each treatment has its own specific purpose, and together, these procedures form a comprehensive treatment plan.
A non-surgical facelift is based on the synergy of a comprehensive treatment: when fillers, Harmonyca, and botulinum toxin are combined, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Why does the liquid facelift combine three different treatments?
No single aesthetic treatment can address all the signs of aging. The Liquid Facelift combines three complementary treatments:
- Harmonyca restores firmness to the face and stimulates collagen production.
- Traditional hyaluronic acid-based fillers enhance facial features, increase the skin’s own hyaluronic acid reserves, and restore the plumpness that has diminished with aging.
- Botox treatment relaxes the overactive muscles in the upper face, resulting in smoother skin across the entire forehead.
The treatments complement each other, allowing each to shine, and the result is a subtly youthful look.
The goal isn't to get a new face, but rather to have my own facial features refreshed and subtly lifted.
Who is a good candidate for a non-surgical facelift?
A non-surgical facelift is suitable for people who notice that their face has changed but do not yet feel they need surgical treatment. Typical indications for a non-surgical facelift include sagging cheeks, loss of jawline definition, and a more tired appearance.
A liquid facelift is also a good option when individual aesthetic treatments are no longer sufficient. When the treatment plan is designed with the anatomy of the entire face in mind, the end result looks harmoniously balanced and natural.
If you've been treating your face over the years, one wrinkle and one sign of aging at a time, without seeing any significant results, it may be time to completely rethink your approach.
This treatment is also ideal for people who have already undergone a surgical facelift. Properly selected follow-up treatments enhance the results of the surgery and help maintain a youthful appearance for as long as possible.
Everyone ages in their own way. That’s why a liquid facelift is always tailored to each individual. The goal isn’t to create a cookie-cutter look, but to find the treatments that will make your face shine.
A non-surgical facelift treats the person, not just the signs of aging. Every face tells its own story, and aesthetic treatments must respect that story.
How does a liquid facelift work?
Every liquid facelift begins with a thorough consultation. During the consultation, we assess the anatomy of the face, signs of aging, and the client’s wishes. Our goal is not to offer a one-size-fits-all treatment package, but rather to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each client.
The same elements, different emphases
The elements of the treatment are always the same: every liquid facelift is based on Harmonyca, dermal fillers, and Botox. However, the relative emphasis placed on these elements varies. The individual anatomy of the face determines the “weighting” of the different elements.
Beauty rarely results from a single major change. Aesthetic results are built piece by piece—through small, carefully selected, and complementary treatments. Nor does the Liquid Facelift aim to stop the aging process. Its goal is to accompany the aging process and help preserve the face’s natural freshness year after year.
How are the results of a liquid facelift maintained?
The effects of a liquid facelift vary from person to person, as the duration of the effects of Harmonyca, dermal fillers, and Botox differs for everyone. The duration of results also depends on the specific treatment: maintenance treatments with botulinum toxin are typically performed 2–3 times a year, while Harmonyca and filler treatments can be repeated every 12–24 months.
If necessary, the treatment results can be further enhanced later with a follow-up Botox treatment or a mild collagen-stimulating treatment. The goal is not to start from scratch, but to build on the progress made during the previous treatment session.
A non-surgical facelift is not a one-time procedure but a journey toward natural pro-aging. The face is constantly aging, which is why the treatment plan is also updated over time.
Minor maintenance treatments keep the final result looking naturally subtle, and even over the long term, the face won't require major changes.
Beauty develops slowly. When treatments are performed at the right time and in the right order, the face retains its firmness year after year.
