Liquid Facelift Should Not Be Compared to Surgical
Thank you for your question. The liquid facelift is an effective combination of fillers and botox, dysport or xeomin to rejuvenate the face in a temporary but nonsurgical way. It works beautifully for patients with volume loss associated with aging but minimal skin laxity. The lifting effect of the fillers cannot be compared to a surgical facelift or non-surgical lifting procedure such as ultherapy. They do not do the same thing. It is difficult to comment on whether...

Sculptra Liquid facelift
Although I am not a fan of the term "Liquid Facelift", I do agree with the other doctors who replied that the effects of Sculptra last 2-4 years. It is stimulate collagen and add to facial volume which can be most rejuvenating for most people.

Sculptra works differently - lasts longer
Sculptra is not a volumizer as such, but rather a stimulator for the body's own tissue to produce its own volume.
As such, it is slower to reach its maximum benefit. Once there it stays a minimum of two years before very slowly starting to diminish.. Small finessing touch ups could occur around 3 to 4 years

Duration of the effects of Sculptra on correcting facial wrinkles and folds
Sculptra is the only injectable facial agent that works by stimulating the skin to grow thicker. I have found that if your skin is actively turning over bceause you are on an effective skin care plan, the results last at least 2 years and typically 3-4 years. The real advantage of Sculptra is that if injected properly and in the correct areas of the face, it can temporarily reverse the signs of aging over time. Because it is not a filler the result develops over 3-6 months.

Sculptra is a Leading Contender for Liquid Facelifts
Sculptra addresses the volume loss from some of the most profound causes of aging = loss of facial fat and osteoporosis of the facial bones. Although Sculptra does not replace the fat or bone, it does stimulate new collagen to restore volume to the face. The new collagen is created entirely by you own body, and persists for up to 2 years.
I am a trainer for Sculptra and teach other physicians. I show them pictures of my patients who have a very stable correction...

The "liquid facelift" is very different than a surgical lift and not as durable
We use the "liquid lift" all the time. It is different than a true Facelift.
Not well suited to the older face that has a lot of excess skin
Well suited to the younger face that is beginning to show signs of aging
Has little or no downtime.
Less expensive than a true full Facelift, but is sometimes as costly as a "mini lift" depending on the amount of product used.
Usually requires multiple products in order to achieve a great result...

Sculptra Facelift? It's Not a Facelift
Anyone who is marketing Sculptra as a "Sculptra Facelift" is using inaccurate terminology and is misinforming you. Sculptra is a volumizing agent, made from L-polylactic acid; it is a wonderful adjunct to a Facelift, but definitely not a replacement. Although its results are very nice (assuming correct technique is used), it will not address the neck, jowls, or sagging jawline. Additionally, Sculptra will last for a duration of two years, while a Facelift should last at...

How to compare Sculptra to a face lift
Sculptra has given physicians and patients a new dimension in facial contouring by revolumizing the aging face through a minimally invasive approach. Sculptra injections are well-tolerated by patients. They have a low incidence of side effects and result in high patient satisfaction. Volume replacement is now the most widely used nonsurgical cosmetic treatment for the correction of contour deficiencies and wrinkles of the face without the risk, recovery time, and expense of major surgery...
