Every person has a genetic basis, and this genetic basis is passed on to us from our parents. Therefore, each person’s physical structure, fight against diseases, wound healing mechanisms and speeds, skin and body structures are very different from each other. While some people’s skin is baby-like, some people’s skin is rougher. These individual differences, “genetic differences” are aspects that we cannot change.

On the other hand, a process that we cannot change but can slow down is aging. Everyone ages at a certain rate. The most obvious changes in the aging process are observed in the face, neck and hands. Because these areas are open areas that allow us to communicate directly with the outside world and are in constant contact with sunlight. As we age, losses occur in the support tissues (subcutaneous fat pads) and bone structures of our face, deterioration occurs in the collagen and elastic layers of the skin, and sagging occurs in our skin due to the effect of gravity.

Growth stops after the age of 20, and the aging process begins with a period of stagnation and regression that gradually begins from this period onwards. It is very important to protect the skin frequently, especially with creams with high protection factors, and to stay away from alcohol and cigarettes in order to prevent skin aging. However, between the ages of 20-30, regular skin care, PRP and mesotherapy (vitamin) have become indispensable in the last 10 years in maintaining the quality of the skin and delaying aging.

These small investments we make in our skin, our largest organ, form a basis for later ages.

Nowadays, the demand for non-surgical procedures that can be performed in a short time and do not affect daily life after the procedure is rapidly increasing. People between the ages of 30 and 50 constitute the age group most interested in these applications. With regular (average 6 months) cure treatments, the skin quality of this age group, which was formerly described as middle age, has increased significantly and their skin age has begun to lag behind their chronological age.

At this stage, new approaches emerge every day and people must consult with their doctors to have the most necessary procedures done for their skin in a certain order. It should be noted that not every application is right for every person, and not every application may give the same results for every person.

The liquid face lift we have recently started doing is; Suitable candidates are people who have not made the necessary investments in their skin in the past, are in their 35-40s, have started to have significant tissue loss in their skin, and are under the influence of gravity.

What is applied here is to replace the substances lost by the skin and obtain a natural, healthy appearance. In the application, the losses of skin and subcutaneous tissues are replaced in layers.

Liquid facelift is one of the newest facial rejuvenation procedures that does not require surgery or anesthesia. It is the injection of liquid substances into sagging areas where subcutaneous fat pads and support tissue are reduced.

With this new filling technique, sagging areas around the cheeks, cheekbones, chin/jaw line, eyebrows and mouth can be lifted. Facial contours can be reshaped and clarified. The ingredients used replace the lost volume, increase the texture quality and radiance of the skin, and also give it a tightened appearance. In this way, people achieve a very natural, youthful appearance, their skin is bright and shiny, moisture balance is restored, lifting is provided, sagging and sagging are eliminated.

The application is done with very thin cannulas and needles in 15-20 minutes, and since local anesthetic creams are used beforehand, no pain is felt. Since there is usually no bruising or swelling, you can return to your daily routine normally after the application. Since the products used are compatible with the natural structure of the skin, there are no side effects and the effectiveness lasts for up to 1.5 years. Reinforcements can be made when necessary.
