Liquid Facelift

If you are a teacher, professor, or administrator at a school, you know that all the jokes about students giving you grey hair and wrinkles are unfortunately true. Stress, squinting to catch note passers, and handing out "the look" that stops them dead in their tracks all leave their mark on your face. But just because you run a tight ship in your classroom doesn't mean you have to look like a crone. You know it's just as important--if not more so--to be able to smile when a boy or girl suddenly masters a difficult task like long division, systems of equations, or memorizing the first 18 lines of The Canterbury Tales.

If you find that you're showing your age too early, and you want to look your best for the upcoming year, you have a number of options. A facelift is a good option, but who wants to lose any of our free time over the summer recovering from an operation? Instead, consider what is known as a liquid facelift.

A liquid facelift is a combination of non-invasive injectable cosmetic procedures that can combat the effects of aging without surgery and without down time. A liquid facelift can be used to correct:

  • Signs of Aging in the Eyes such as Crow's Feet and Wrinkles in the Upper and Lower Eyelids to help you look your age or younger
  • Scowl lines between the eyebrows that you cannot unknit to help you be able to smile with your whole face rather than look angry or tired all the time
  • Forehead Rows that make your forehead corrugated
  • Upper Cheek Wrinkles
  • Hollow Cheeks that can make your face look wan and tired
  • Lipstick lines that extend all around your lips, making your face
  • Shrunken Lips that have lost plumpness with age
  • Marionette Lines that extend down and away from the mouth, making you look perpetually unhappy
  • Nasolabial Folds and Parentheses Lines around your mouth that can be very deep and shadowed

Using a combination of Botox and facial fillers like Restylane, all of these conditions and many similar related ones can be corrected. The exact combination of treatments planned depends on what you need to have corrected. The treatment generally takes less than an hour and it requires no recovery time off from work or play.
