The popular nonsurgical liquid facelift that reduces wrinkles and sagging at WellMedica in Reston, Virginia.
A liquid facelift can:
- Tighten wrinkles and sagging around eyes, lips, and forehead.

WHAT IS A LIQUID FACELIFT?
If you are not ready for a surgical facelift, a liquid facelift may be a nonsurgical alternative. A liquid facelift is when dermal fillers are used to lift sagging skin and reduce wrinkles. Depending on the filler and the condition of your skin, a liquid facelift can last up to 5 or more. Not everyone is a candidate for a liquid facelift. During a consultation, Dr. Dima can assess whether you may be a candidate.
Liquid facelifts can also be combined with other rejuvenation procedures such as thread lifting, Botox®, laser treatment, or radiofrequency for a natural look.
Restore Youthful Confidence with a Liquid Facelift in Reston VA
Aging is a natural process, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with sagging skin or deep wrinkles. At WellMedica, located in the heart of Reston VA, Dr. Dima Ali offers cutting-edge non-surgical solutions to help you look and feel your best. One of the most popular treatments for facial rejuvenation is the Liquid Facelift—a minimally invasive procedure that can dramatically enhance your appearance without going under the knife.
What Is a Liquid Facelift?
A Liquid Facelift is a cosmetic treatment that uses advanced dermal fillers to restore facial volume, contour sagging skin, and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. Unlike a traditional surgical facelift, which involves incisions and downtime, a Liquid Facelift is non-surgical and requires little to no recovery time.
Using FDA-approved injectable fillers—such as Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Radiesse®—along with Botox® for dynamic wrinkles, Dr. Dima sculpts the face for a naturally youthful look. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and results can last up to 18–24 months, depending on the products used and individual skin conditions.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Liquid Facelift?
A Liquid Facelift is ideal for men and women who are beginning to notice signs of aging but are not ready for surgical intervention. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Mild to moderate sagging of the mid-face or jowls
- Volume loss in the cheeks or temples
- Deep nasolabial folds or marionette lines
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- A desire for non-invasive facial rejuvenation
However, not everyone is suitable for this procedure. During your consultation at WellMedica in Reston VA, Dr. Dima will conduct a detailed facial analysis and medical assessment to determine if a Liquid Facelift is right for you.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
When you come in for your Liquid Facelift consultation at WellMedica, you’ll experience the highest level of personalized care. Dr. Dima will:
- Discuss your aesthetic goals
- Evaluate your skin condition, facial structure, and aging patterns
- Create a customized treatment plan using dermal fillers, Botox®, or combination therapy
- Administer the injections with precision and minimal discomfort
The procedure generally takes 30–60 minutes, and patients can return to their daily activities immediately. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
Combining a Liquid Facelift with Other Treatments
To enhance results and promote comprehensive facial rejuvenation, the Liquid Facelift can be combined with other advanced technologies offered at WellMedica in Reston VA. These may include:
▸ Thread Lifting
PDO threads can provide additional lift and contour, especially in areas like the cheeks and jawline.
▸ Botox®
While dermal fillers restore volume, Botox® can relax facial muscles that cause crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases.
▸ Laser Skin Resurfacing
Reduces sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and improves skin texture.
▸ Radiofrequency Therapy
Stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Combining these treatments can lead to a more balanced, natural-looking outcome without the need for invasive surgery.
How Long Do Results Last?
The longevity of your Liquid Facelift results can vary depending on:
- The types of fillers used
- Your individual skin condition
- Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and smoking
- How well you follow post-treatment instructions
On average, results can last from 12 to 24 months. Periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain your youthful appearance.

WHAT IS USED DURING A LIQUID FACELIFT?
At WellMedica, we have a variety of fillers to choose from. Some are hyaluronic acid-based, and some are potent collagen stimulators like Bellafill® and Sculptra®.
During your consultation with Dr. Dima, she will determine which filler will be right for you. She will also explain why a combination of different fillers will give you the best, most aesthetically natural result.
IS A LIQUID FACELIFT RIGHT FOR ME?
During your consultation with Dr. Dima, she will assess your skin and facial structure and discuss all the nonsurgical treatment options available to you.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Most often, a nonsurgical facelift can be done in one appointment with a follow up at approximately one week. During that follow up appointment, much of the swelling will have subsided and Dr. Dima will determine if any “touch ups” need to be done.
If a long-lasting filler such a Bellafill® or Sculptra® is used, there may be multiple follow ups to assess the degree of correction, as these potent collagen stimulators need more time to take full effect.
HOW MUCH DOES A LIQUID FACELIFT COST?
This depends on which filler(s) and the amount of filler you and Dr. Dima decide to use. Depending on the filler and its effective duration, a single syringe of filler (or vial) can range anywhere from $750 to $1,300 each. Using a minimum of 8 syringes is not unusual. In fact, Dr. Dima has used up to 30 syringes of various fillers in one sitting to achieve the patient's desired result. Each patient’s needs are unique, and the treatment must be customized to meet your needs and expectations. Keep in mind that a syringe of filler is only 0.8 to 1.0 ml. That is not a lot of product, as you can see from the teaspoons below.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT?
The following guidelines will help you prepare for a successful liquid facelift.
Day 1: Prepare for your treatment by coming to your appointment without any makeup. You will be told not to wet your face or exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
Day 2: Swelling will be prominent on day 2 and will gradually decrease everyday thereafter. You may resume gentle cleansing and your typical facial routine.
Day 3: Swelling will continue to improve.
Days 4-7: Continued decline in swelling and bruising.
Week 2: Starting to look great!
Week 3: There will be very little, if any, residual swelling.
Some potential side effects include herpes outbreak, bruising, infection, hematoma formation, and irregularity.
IS A LIQUID FACELIFT SAFE?
A liquid facelift can be performed on anyone with a desire for an instant lift assuming they are in overall good health, they understand the risks of receiving treatment, and have realistic expectations for their desired results. Those with an active skin infection or a chronic, uncontrolled medical condition, such as diabetes, are not good candidates.
