Treatment Overview
The Advanced Liquid Facelift is a highly popular non-surgical anti-aging treatment in Korea, designed to restore youthful volume, smooth wrinkles, and contour the face using advanced injectable techniques. Instead of traditional surgery, this procedure combines dermal fillers, collagen-stimulating injectables (Sculptra, Juvelook, Rejuran), and skin boosters to rejuvenate the skin at both structural and cellular levels.
Korean dermatology clinics are globally renowned for their precision injection mapping techniques, ensuring natural results that enhance facial harmony while avoiding the “overfilled” look. The procedure lifts sagging skin, replenishes lost volume, and improves elasticity—all without downtime.

Surgical Techniques Used
Though it is a non-surgical procedure, Korean dermatologists apply advanced injectable techniques with surgical-level precision:

Recovery & Aftercare

- 1–3 Days: Skin calms; volume and lift become more noticeable.
- 2–4 Weeks: Collagen-stimulating injectables begin enhancing elasticity.
- 2–6 Months: Full anti-aging results develop as collagen builds.
- Downtime: Minimal—patients usually return to daily activities right away.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid massaging or pressing the treated area for 1 week.
- No alcohol, saunas, or strenuous workouts for 48 hours.
- Apply hydrating and anti-aging skincare.
- Always use SPF sunscreen to maintain results.
Results & Longevity
