The “Liquid Lift”
From £1,500
What has become known as “The Non-Surgical Face Lift” describes a procedure that uses hyaluronic fillers to restore and lift the face, creating appropriate balance with lighter and brighter impression overall.
A “face lift without surgery” comprises non-invasive rejuvenation, which targets the pattern of volume loss seen across the face. It is a refined method of restoring and beautifying the whole face, ensuring a balanced and natural looking result at rest and, more importantly, when smiling and animating.
The lift can be used as prevention, to combat the early signs of soft tissue descent, or as a restorative programme for moderate to pronounced volume loss.
We don’t have one layer of “skin” on the face that goes down to bone. Instead, we have different pockets of volume (“fat pads”) that sit at different levels in the soft tissue of the face. Some fat pads are deep and attached to bone. These don’t move but lose volume over time. Some sit more superficially, and they move, sliding downwards and separating from each other. Both factors result in the descent of the skin and soft tissues.
This reduced surface tension in the face, leads to crepey skin - think of a deflated balloon. Shadows also become apparent, created by grooves and hollows where the volume is depleted, and grooves where the fat pads separate. Equally shadows are created where the slide in the soft tissue overhangs ligaments (attachments to bone) and creates folds.
The fat cells in the deep layers display different characteristics to those found more superficially. This informs the choice of filler, selecting products that mirror the fat found in the discrete compartments, and the techniques for injecting. Understanding all of this means that we are able to restore structure and volume in a strategic way that delivers an effective and natural looking result.
The treatment enhances the structure and contours of the face as well as improving the appearance of the skin. The overall effect is one of brightening the face, smoothing the skin and reducing lines and wrinkles.
The liquid-lift is tailored to your individual anatomy, with variable factors in the degree of support required at different points in the face.

The Process
The face is mapped using your natural, anatomical parameters and volume depth. The appropriate filler is selected and volume is restored or subtly enhanced at the specific layers of the discrete fat pads. Local anaesthetic is used for optimum comfort.
1. Filler Injection
Using a conservative approach, appropriate volume is replenished or added, subtle contours are sculpted and shadows softened. This ensures a lifted, balanced and overall softer impression of the face.
2. Shaping
Frequently asked questions
-
The majority of dermal fillers contain a local anesthetic called lidocaine, which helps to numb the treatment area and minimise discomfort during the injection process. While some patients may experience mild discomfort, such as a slight stinging or pressure sensation, it is typically very brief and tolerable.
