Women in their forties begin to notice that their youthfulness and facial vibrancy is lessening. They want to look fresh and young again. The liquid facelift is an excellent solution to this problem.

The liquid facelift is not an overnight procedure. It is a series of injections of dermal fillers that lift, plump up, fill, re-contour and smooth the face. These injections are spread over three or four appointments. In some procedures, Botox is used.

Jill Zarins, of the Real Housewives of New York, finished Season 2 looking tired and older. When she returned for Season 3, she looked at least 10 years younger. Although most viewers surmised that Jill had undergone a facelift, she hadn't. Instead Jill had chosen the liquid facelift.

Demi Moore and Madonna are stars who seem to be defying the aging process by regular liquid-facelift procedures. This is far safer than a traditional facelift. The recovery time from a liquid facelift is quite minimal.

The liquid facelift has been called a "fountain of youth, without a scalpel." There are many treatment choices for a liquid facelift. Usually, a successful liquid facelift combines several.

The most common treatment is Botox. This is injected strategically into areas where wrinkles are prominent. Within a few days, wrinkles relax and disappear. Botox lasts from six months to a year. 

Next are the tissue fillers -- Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane. Injections of one of these can lift cheeks and eyelids and provide facial plumping.

Sculptra, a collagen stimulator, is used for volumizing areas of the face and stimulating the face's natural collagen production.

All of the products used in a liquid facelift can last for up to a year, with almost no recovery time. Women are learning that the liquid facelift is an effective alternative to going under the knife.
