Is liquid facelift is the same than botox?

Liquid Facelift uses advanced techniques to gently lift, soften lines, and contour facial features without surgery and little downtime. Fillers such as Juvederm, Volbella, Voluma, Radiesse, Sculptra, and even your own fat can lift your skin and recontour your face restoring a more youthful appearance. Lips that thin with aging can be made plumper and more kissable, and fine lines around the lips be reduced.

Thermage is a non-invasive (no incision!) treatment that can tighten skin, renew facial contours, and stimulate your body to make healthier collagen—the building block that provides structure to your skin. The procedure uses radiofrequency technology called ThermaCool that has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours. Fast and easy, Thermage requires no downtime from normal activities. However, Thermage can have variable results if not performed by an experienced doctor. Another option is microneedling which stimulates the skin to generate new collagen and skin tissue for a smoother complexion and firmer, more toned skin. It's important to make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist as results may vary.

You need to inquire from whoever is promoting a 'liquid facelift', exactly what they are offering and providing. Usually, promotions of 'liquid facelift' refer to the administration of a botulinum toxin (such as Botox) and/or a filler (such as Juvederm, Restylane, Teosyal, among many others)

A "liquid facelift" is a series of filler injections often used in combination with Botox treatments. Fillers such as, Juvederm, Restylane ,Voluma etc. temporarily fill facial lines and folds and may provide plumping or volume were needed but they are not permanent. Botox on the other hand, is a neurotoxin, which paralyzes muscles in the face so that the facial muscles cannot form wrinkles.. I would recommend going to a board certified dermatologist who regularly does filler injections as well as Botox treatments for an analysis. Please steer clear of med spas and other skin clinics which have no board certified dermatologists on site.
