Soft Lift is a non surgical approach combining the use of Botox and Juvederm to regain a youthful
and fresh appearance. As we age, we lose volume in cheeks, temples, and the lower face which
causes folds, lines, and wrinkles. Soft Lift utilizes Botox and Juvederm (dermal filler) to replace
the loss of volume and relax muscles.
You will be amazed at the results that can be achieved in this non surgical process.
If you’ve ever considered a facelift, but don’t want the risk, expense and downtime of surgery,
we offer non-surgical Soft Lift ™ portfolio in our Richmond Hill Cosmetic Clinic .
Soft Lift is a non-invasive facelift that combines the benefits of Botox ® and Juvederm ®
for a treatment that softens wrinkles, provides a subtle lift and replaces lost volume.
A Soft Lift treatment is like turning back the clock 5 years!

Neuromodulators soften the wrinkles around the eyes, lifts the brow, minimizes “smoker’s lines”
around the mouth, and reduces chin dimpling. Juvederm filler improves volume in the cheeks,
chin and lips, reduces nasolabial folds (also called laugh lines or smile lines), defines the lip border,
and lifts downturned mouth corners.

Am I a good candidate?

and common signs of facial aging (wrinkles, deep folds, and lost facial volume).
Soft Lift contraindications
Because Soft Lift combines a neuromodulator and Juvederm, you must read and
understand the contraindications of each product used in the treatment, which in summary are:
Do not have Juvederm portfolio if you have severe allergies with a history of anaphylaxis
(extreme allergic reaction), or if you are allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins.

Non Surgical Facelift
Before the treatment
Because dermal filler and neuromodulator injections may cause bruising, it is best to book
your Soft Lift treatment at least 2 weeks before a social event. You should stop taking aspirin
or drinking red wine a few days before a treatment.

What happens during the treatment?
Before the Soft Lift treatment begins, a technician will take photos (used to document progress),
and a treatment plan will be devised. To make the treatment more comfortable,
a thin layer of numbing ointment may apply. The ointment will take effect in 10-20 minutes
and then your treatment will begin. Before each injection, an ice pack is placed on the injection site.
The combination of numbing cream and ice pack make the treatment quite comfortable.
Treatment time: Approximately 45-60 minutes.
After the treatment
Your skin may be pink and slightly swollen in the injection areas, but this will subside in about an hour.
Most people can resume their regular routine immediately (except for physical exertion)
and the most that is needed to conceal minor post-treatment effects is a powder foundation.
- Avoid lying down for 4 hours after your treatment , face down for 48 hours , strenuous exercise or activities for 4 hours.
- Neuromodulator results will be seen in 3-7 days.
- Minor bruising from the filler is usually gone within a few days, but in some cases can last up to 2 weeks.
Recovery time:
No downtime required though in cases where bruising is more noticeable social downtime might be preferred.

How many portfolio will I need?
The neuromodulator will need re-treatment in about 3 months. The Juvederm filler
will last 6-12 months depending on which product the doctor used.
Juvederm Voluma, for example, is the thickest of the Juvederm products, can last for more than a year.
