Liquid Facelifting in Düsseldorf Natural Rejuvenation Without Surgery

- Hyaluronic acid: up to one year and longer, depending on the product, injection technique, skin condition, and individual metabolism. - Sculptra®: Results develop over a period of several weeks and months and can last up to two years. - Skinboosters: Longevity ranges from 3 to 9 months and beyond. We recommend regular top-up treatments and combination therapies.

Liquid facelifting is generally not painful. We can pre-treat your skin with a local anaesthetic (cream or lidocaine filler) if required. As we use very fine needles at our practice, this is often unnecessary. And after the treatment? You are socially presentable immediately after the injections. Minimal swelling and slight redness may occur, but as a rule there are no significant after-effects.

In many cases, a combination is more effective than treating with a single substance. In liquid lifting, hyaluronic acid and biostimulators complement each other well. Hyaluronic acid plumps the skin or ensures good moisture retention in the skin barrier, while the biostimulator triggers skin renewal from within. In this way, we combine immediate effects with longer-term skin regeneration – and the results last longer.

The liquid facelift is not a surgical procedure, but an injection treatment. It provides structural support to the skin, as well as improving elasticity and firmness. Wrinkles and sunken areas can be filled with filler for a certain period of time. The method is best suited to mild skin laxity and moderate fine lines. With a surgical facelift, we reposition the entire tissue and rejuvenate the skin comprehensively for many years. The effects are considerably more pronounced, as deeper skin layers (the SMAS layer) are also tightened – however, this does involve a surgical procedure. For significant skin laxity, the surgical facelift remains the treatment of choice. "EVERY PATIENT IS AN INDIVIDUAL AND, DEPENDING ON THEIR WISHES, IS SUITED TO ONE METHOD OR ANOTHER."

When liquid facelifting is carried out expertly, the result is harmonious and natural-looking. At artethic® in Düsseldorf, no face is simply "filled up" – instead, it is structurally stabilised along natural volume axes. The aim is for the skin to look fresher, not different.

There is no fixed age limit. The method is most commonly appropriate from the mid to late thirties through to the fifties, depending on the condition of the connective tissue, skin structure, and personal expectations. Younger patients also use skinboosters or subtle volume contouring for preventive purposes.

Generally, yes. Mild swelling or minor bruising is possible, but rarely restrictive enough to prevent you from meeting your everyday commitments. This also applies to travel. Sunbeds, saunas, and intensive facial treatments should be avoided for approximately one week to avoid any additional irritation to the skin.

The need for repeat treatments depends on the product used: - Hyaluronic acid fillers can be refreshed after 7–18 months. - Sculptra is typically built up over 2–4 sessions and then lasts for up to 24 months. - Skinboosters are beneficial every 3–9 months. Important: no blanket statement can be made, as every skin responds differently. Your own metabolism, your skincare routine, sun protection habits, sauna use, and any weight changes all play a significant role in how long results last.
