The sad truth is that we start to lose collagen and elastin in our 30’s! Each decade we lose another 5-10% of our volume! Add in environmental factors, bad habits and genetics and it almost seems hopeless. This loss of volume contributes to sagging, wrinkles, lines and folds.

The amount of product needed will vary from individual to individual, therefore, the cost will vary from person to person.
How Long Will It Last?
A Liquid Face Lift can last up to three years, depending on the products used and the facial area treated. If Botox or Dysport was used, they will require maintenance two to three times a year.
