Treatment Overview
The Nucleofill Liquid Facelift is a premium non-surgical anti-aging treatment in Korea, designed to lift sagging skin, restore elasticity, and deeply rejuvenate the face. Unlike traditional facelifts that require surgery, this procedure uses polynucleotides (PN)—powerful bioactive molecules that repair and regenerate the skin at a cellular level.
By combining hydration, collagen stimulation, and elasticity restoration, the Nucleofill Liquid Facelift delivers both immediate radiance and long-term structural improvement. Korean dermatology clinics are recognized globally for their multi-layer injection protocols, ensuring natural lifting effects and long-lasting rejuvenation without overcorrection.
Purpose & Benefits
- Elasticity Restoration: Strengthens dermal layers for firmer, younger skin.
- Volume Support: Restores fullness in hollow or sunken areas.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths fine lines and folds.
- Skin Hydration: Deep moisture renewal for a radiant glow.
- Cellular Regeneration: Repairs damaged tissue and boosts skin health.
- Non-Surgical Lift: Provides facelift-like results without downtime.
- Long-Lasting Results: Improvements continue for up to 12–18 months.
Ideal Candidates
The Nucleofill Liquid Facelift is suitable for:
- Adults in their 30s–60s with early or visible signs of aging.
- Patients with dry, sagging, or elastic skin loss.
- Individuals with wrinkles, under-eye hollowness, or dull complexion.
- Men and women who prefer a non-surgical rejuvenation option.
- Younger patients wanting preventive anti-aging care.
Possible Risks & Complications
Nucleofill treatments are very safe in Korean clinics, but mild side effects may occur:
- Redness or Swelling: Fades in 1–3 days.
- Small Bumps: Temporary, typically resolve within 24–48 hours.
- Bruising or Tenderness: May last up to a week.
- Very Rare Risks: Allergic reactions, uneven texture, or infection (minimized with expert protocols).
Surgical Techniques Used
Though it is non-surgical, the Nucleofill Liquid Facelift uses highly advanced injection methods:
- Micro-Injection Delivery: Fine needles deliver PN into targeted dermal layers.
- Multi-Layer Korean Mapping: Customized injections at varying depths for optimal lift.
- Polynucleotide Biostimulation: Activates fibroblasts for long-term collagen and elastin renewal.
- Customized Contour Restoration: Focused treatment for under-eyes, cheeks, and jawline.
- Combination Care: Often paired with Shurink HIFU, Thermage FLX, or thread lifts for maximum lifting and tightening.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild swelling, redness, or bumps may appear.
- 1–3 Days: Skin calms, early hydration benefits visible.
- 2–4 Weeks: Wrinkles soften, elasticity begins to improve.
- 2–6 Months: Maximum collagen and elasticity restoration for lifting effects.
- Downtime: Minimal—patients can resume normal activities right away.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid alcohol, saunas, and strenuous workouts for 48 hours.
- Do not press or massage the treated area for 1 week.
- Use hydrating creams and repairing serums.
- Apply SPF sunscreen daily to protect results.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Hydrated, fresher skin with subtle lift.
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Fine lines reduce, skin texture improves.
- Medium-Term (2–3 Months): Stronger elasticity and contour refinement.
- Long-Term: Results last 12–18 months, with yearly maintenance recommended.
