The Liquid Facelift — Surgical Results Without Surgery. Lift, contour, and rejuvenate your face sometimes in a single office visit with zero downtime.
What is Liquid Facelfit?
A liquid facelift is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses a customized combination of dermal fillers and neuromodulators to lift, contour, and rejuvenate the face — all without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended recovery.
By strategically restoring volume and relaxing specific muscles, Dr. Gladstone can reduce sagging, soften wrinkles, and reshape facial contours with results that are visible immediately or within days. The entire procedure takes just 15–30 minutes in the office, and most patients return to their normal routine the same day.

How a Liquid Facelift Works
As we age, we lose volume in key areas of the face — the cheeks flatten, temples hollow, the jawline softens, and lines deepen around the nose and mouth. A liquid facelift addresses all of these concerns in a single session by combining two types of injectables:
Dermal fillers restore lost volume, lift sagging tissue, and smooth deep folds. Dr. Gladstone selects from a range of fillers based on the area being treated and the result you’re looking for — including Juvéderm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra.
Neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines — for a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
The artistry of a liquid facelift lies in knowing exactly where to place each product, how much to use, and how the different products work together. With 26 years of experience in facial aesthetics, Dr. Gladstone tailors every liquid facelift to the individual patient’s anatomy and goals.
What a Liquid Facelift Can Address
Cheeks & Temples — Restoring volume to lift the mid-face and recreate youthful fullness.
Under-Eyes — Reducing hollowing and dark shadows beneath the eyes for a more rested appearance.
Jawline & Chin — Sculpting and tightening to restore definition along the lower face.
Lips & Smile Lines — Smoothing nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines) and marionette lines, and enhancing lip volume and shape.
Forehead & Brow — Relaxing lines and gently lifting the brow for a more open, refreshed look.
What to Expect
Procedure: 15–30 minutes in the office. No general anesthesia, no incisions, no stitches.
Results: Immediate or visible within days, depending on the products used. Results continue to improve as any minor swelling resolves.
Duration: Results typically last 1–2 years depending on the products selected. Sculptra results can last 2+ years. Neuromodulators typically last 3–4 months.
Recovery: Minimal downtime. You may experience temporary bruising, mild swelling, or slight discomfort at the injection sites. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Is a Liquid Facelift Right for You?
A liquid facelift is ideal for patients who want moderate facial rejuvenation without the commitment, cost, or recovery of surgery. It’s especially well-suited for those who are beginning to notice volume loss, sagging, or deepening lines but aren’t ready for — or don’t need — a surgical facelift.
It’s also an excellent option for patients who want to “preview” what a more youthful contour looks like before considering any surgical options down the road.
