Most famous of all our treatments at 111 Harley St. is the Y-Lift. A pioneering surgery developed by Dr Yannis, the Y-Lift works to lift the face and neck simultaneously by elevating the skin, muscles and soft tissues to a more youthful position.
While this is a popular and lauded procedure, many of our patients who have not yet reached that stage in their life seek something less invasive – in this case, our expert Nurses recommend a Liquid Lift!
“The liquid Facelift entails a facelift using hyaluronic acid injectables to different locations to the face,” says Teresa Rocha, one of our brilliant Aesthetic Nurses. “This helps to increase the production of collagen, but primarily to volumise and shape specific regions of the face.”
Cheeks & Temples
Both play an important role in the facial structure as well as supporting under the eyes. Through HA fillers, we can enhance lost volume, restore structure and even contour the face for a more pleasing appearance.
Tear Troughs
These two play a crucial role in releasing focus on the nasolabial folds, essentially a pulling back of the midface. The result is an instantly smoother look. This is often the most vicious of fillers, thin enough to easily work with the thin skin around the periorbital area.
Jawline & Chin
The best way to prevent jowls and marionette lines, a more sculpted jaw lends a sculptural sensibility to the patient. Jawline fillers should be combined with chin fillers for a uniformed and enhanced result, often necessary for balancing a profile. This is a deeper injection with a more resilient Hyaluronic Acid – essentially thicker – in order to create less movement, more shape and greater structure.
While A Liquid Lift is already a significant non-invasive procedure, patients are encouraged to supplement it with several skin-focused treatments. This can include lasers, mesotherapy, skin boosters and bio remodulators like Profhilo or PRP – all work to fortify the skin and encourage post-treatment healing.
The usage of neuromodulators such as commonly known, botulinum toxin A (Botox®) should be used in the forehead, crow’s feet and frown lines, are examples of preventative approaches upon wrinkle formation on muscle movement.
Amplified skin hydration Stimulated collagen synthesis Softening of the tear troughs Reduction of the nasolabial folds Definition and lift of the cheekbones and temples Correction of the mouth corners Reduction of marionette lines and jowls A sharper finish to the shape of the jaw & chin (if desired) A more sculptural and smooth appearance to the facial structure The longevity of the procedure varies between 12-18 months and can be discussed with your Aesthetic Nurse.
Downtime is minimal, with some gentle side effects that include bruising, swelling and redness. All should settle within the first 48hours. This procedure’s not reported as painful and using cannula makes it safer and more tolerable.
