WHAT IS A SOFT LIFT?

You may be asking, what exactly is this procedure? Well, firstly, it’s non-invasive which means there is no surgery involved. What it does involve is cosmetic injectables such as BOTOX Cosmetic® and JUVÉDERM® fillers, which smooth out the surface of your skin and re-define your facial contours. This means that those particular areas around the eyes and mouth can be visibly improved without the need for surgery or any invasive treatments.

This relatively new cosmetic procedure uses a combination of Juvederm and Botox treatments to provide full face rejuvenation that combines the best of both products. A soft lift aims to smooth away small lines and wrinkles, restore lost volume to the cheeks and lips, enhance the contours of the face, and restore facial balance.

Not only is this type of procedure gentle, but it also excludes any use of lasers or skin tightening devices. A Soft *Lift combines neuromodulators and fillers to reduce and treat those stark signs of aging that can weigh down your facial features and contribute to that tired appearance.

Soft Lift can be used to address a number of aging concerns including:

• Volume loss
• Chin dimpling
• Smokers lines
• Brow lines
• Wrinkles around the eyes
• Nasolabial folds

What is Involved in a Soft Lift Treatment?

Both the Botox cosmetic and Juvederm filler will be injected under the skin using an ultra-fine needle. To make the procedure more comfortable, your skin care expert may apply a topical gel to the treatment area to minimize any pain or discomfort.

Duration

A Soft Lift procedure typically takes between 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and your aesthetic goals.

Side Effects

Both Juvederm and Botox are safe cosmetic treatments. However, you may experience some mild, temporary side effects after your Soft Lift treatment including:

• Bruising
• Tenderness
• Redness
• Swelling

Number of Treatments

The results of this skin care treatment are long-lasting, but not permanent. To maintain your results, you will need repeat treatments every 3-5 months.

What are the Benefits of Soft Lift?

Soft Lift is an advanced skin care treatment that can address many facial aging concerns in a safe and quick manner. It has many benefits including:

• An immediate, refreshed, more youthful appearance
• Little or no downtime
• Relatively pain-free procedure
• Short treatment time (30-60 minutes)
• Can be customized to treat your specific problem areas
• Minimal side-effects

Once your Soft Lift procedure is completed, you will be free to continue with most of your daily activities. Your skin care professional will give you detailed post-treatment instructions to minimize any side effects and optimize your results.

HOW DO I KNOW IF A SOFT LIFT IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Life can take a toll on our appearance. Aging gracefully is a beautiful thing, however life is not always kind to our skin. If you have been noticing increasing signs of that drawn, tired look each time you look into the mirror, this treatment could help you lighten up your expression and gain back some of that youthful glow. This gentle treatment is not about altering your look – it’s about rejuvenating and refreshing it in the subtlest way. It’s the perfect solution for anyone needing a subtle “refresh” button without the need for surgery.

WHAT ABOUT RECOVERY TIME?

Since a Soft Lift is a gentle treatment, it generally does not require any recovery time. You can simply have a treatment in our clinic and then go about your day as though nothing happened. The best part about this treatment is that the results are very quick. Within two weeks you will notice gradual improvements to the targeted areas as the treatments settle into place. But you can walk out of the clinic immediately feeling as fabulous as you look.

So if you’ve started to notice a few more of those deep-set wrinkles or areas that seem to dip and sag a little more than you’d like, and are considering something to rejuvenate your youthful glow, choose a non-invasive Soft Lift. This subtle treatment will eliminate those signs of aging and leave you looking refreshed and rejuvenated in no time.

Treatment Areas

A soft lift is a great non-surgical replacement for the traditional facelift because it targets many of the same regions of the face for a complete, natural rejuvenation of the patient’s appearance.

Eyes and Forehead

Using Botox, the muscles of the forehead and around the eyes is relaxed to smooth wrinkles, crow’s feet, and horizontal forehead lines. The softened appearance of the forehead helps to promote an appearance of youthful energy.

Nose and Cheeks

Mouth and Jawline

What to Expect from the Soft Lift Treatment

As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to fully understand what to expect from your Soft Lift treatment before deciding whether or not it is the right anti-aging option for you.

Here is what you can expect from the procedure:

How it’s administered

Both Botox and Juvederm are injected into the skin using an ultra fine needle. In order to make the procedure more comfortable, an anesthetic may be applied to the treatment area.

Afterwards, you may experience some slight swelling or bruising, but this is temporary and will fade within a few hours.

How long it takes

The Soft Lift procedure can be completed in one 30-60 minute session depending on the size of the treatment area and your aesthetic goals.

When you will see the Soft Lift results

The Juvederm results will be seen immediately but it can take up to one week for the Botox injections to take full effect.

How long the effects last

The effects of the wrinkle relaxing injections can last up to 12 weeks and Juvederm provides results that will last at least 12 months or longer.
