It comes as no surprise that as we age, we notice our appearance becoming worn and tired. We develop wrinkles, lines, and creases, lose our facial definition, and double chins start to appear. These are all side effects of the aging process that can quickly undermine our self-confidence and make us look older than we feel.
But who said you couldn’t fight this aging process? With non-surgical cosmetic treatments becoming more accessible and affordable, they are the norm not only for celebrities but also for the population.
Below are some of the most popular non-surgical options to choose from at Aesthetic Art.
Botox® and Dysport®
At the top of the injectables list are Botox and Dysport, two brands of botulinum toxin type A injectables. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, botulinum toxin injections are the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure available. They are widely considered to be some of the safest cosmetic treatments available today.
These two neuromodulators relax underlying facial muscles, softening the appearance of corresponding expression lines.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, soften creases, enhance facial contours, and produce natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
They are an effective alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery. Injectables can also complement surgical procedures to make you look your best.
Liquid Facelift
At Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, Dr. Maya Kato’s patients frequently regain their former youthful appearance without surgery by undergoing an individually customized liquid facelift. This convenient procedure combines the benefits of dermal fillers, Botox, and other injectables to provide stunning results without any incisions.
Liquid facelifts do not require weeks of downtime and recovery, and because of this, many patients choose this alternative to address their facial concerns.
Sculptra®
Sculptra Aesthetic is an injectable that’s classified as a collagen stimulator. It targets the root causes of aging to provide long-lasting, natural-looking results that can last up to two years. Not only does it soften the appearance of deep wrinkles and restore volume to gaunt features, but it also replenishes the stores of collagen in your skin.
Kybella®
Kybella improves your profile by removing fat (causing that double chin) under your chin, also known as submental fullness. Kybella is injected into the submental area, diminishing fat and providing a sleeker, more contoured profile. This treatment proves that one can regain a sleeker neckline without surgery.
Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelets, a component of blood that encourages clotting, are rich in growth factor proteins and stimulate cell production. By separating these essential platelets as serum from your blood, Dr. Kato can create a natural, personalized anti-aging mixture to stimulate cell regeneration and regrowth.
Non-surgical PRP treatments will improve your skin texture, tone, and complexion naturally. While you might enjoy the volumizing effects of other anti-aging treatments such as dermal fillers or Botox, you will achieve completely natural-looking results without needing repeat treatments with PRP. Furthermore, Dr. Kato also offers PRFM, which has been considered to be the next generation of PRP. PRFM lasts for longer, disperses into the body slower, and is generally more effective.

With a combination of a Liquid Facelift and/or a Thread Lift, we can deliver results just like a surgical facelift, without the downtime, cost, or complications. Liquid Facelifts use fillers and Botox to affect the skin just like a facelift, removing wrinkles and lines as well as adding volume as needed. A Thread Lift places strategic absorbable sutures underneath the skin to lift sagging skin into just the right place. Either of these alone produce dramatic results, but together are even more powerful.

In recent years, the liquid facelift procedure has become the go-to treatment for countless men and women looking to lift and smooth facial wrinkles without the investment of a lengthy surgical treatment. However, as the treatment uses a combination of dermal fillers and Botox treatment, the ongoing aging process will inevitably require retreatment. If you’re looking for a way to the natural-looking results of your liquid facelift, be sure to follow these simple steps.
Follow all Post Treatment Instructions
While a liquid facelift may not require the same extensive recovery associated with its surgical counterpart, the procedure still requires some immediate post-treatment instruction in order the maximize the results. Instructions like avoiding laying down, completing strenuous activities or making exaggerated muscle movements are recommended to ensure that your results meet your goals and to avoid unexpected consequences. Luckily most instructions only need to be followed for the first few days following treatment.
Maintain the Investment with Good Products
What you use matters, especially after an investment like a liquid facelift. When it comes to skincare, it’s important that patients also invest in the products they use as part of their skincare regimen. While over the counter options might be convenient, professional-grade products will make a noticeable difference by extending the longevity of your liquid facelift. This is in part because these solutions are already designed to penetrate deep within the skin to protect the cells and reduce the appearance of aging. When used after a liquid facelift, these treatments can significantly extend the lifetime of your facelift.
Schedule Touch-Ups
The expected longevity of your liquid facelift depends on several different factors, ranging from the products that were used during your specific treatment to the way that your face ages. As a result, it can be difficult to predict exactly how long each person’s liquid facelift will last. Furthermore, as the effects begin to fade, certain parts of the face may show diminishing results faster than others.
Scheduling routine follow-up treatments are an easy, minimally invasive means of maintaining the results of your liquid facelift. Depending on the type of filler or neurotoxin used during treatment, patients often don’t need to start considering touch-ups for 4-6 months following their facelift treatment. During the touch-up session, the filler or Botox is reapplied in small amounts to the areas showing the most change. This ensures that your looks keep their natural look.

Not Ready for Surgery? Try a Liquid Facelift
Getting older may come with greater knowledge and wisdom, but it can also come with deep wrinkles and sagging skin. While traditional treatments for aging have often required surgery, new uses of non-invasive dermal fillers have made liquid facelifts a popular option for countless men and women looking for an effective alternative.
What is a Liquid Facelift?
While aging is inevitable, all patients show signs of aging differently. For some, the telltale signs like deep creases and wrinkles can appear quickly, depending on their exposure to environment and photodamage. For others, looking older is a slower process. This difference in how aging appears also dictates which rejuvenation procedure best addresses their cosmetic concerns. Until recently, surgical facelifts have been the golden standard for comprehensive anti-aging and facial rejuvenation.
Although this procedure is highly useful in helping restore a more youthful look for patients, the procedure is still invasive. In order to be eligible for traditional facelift treatment, patients need to be healthy enough to undergo anesthesia and must be prepared for the lengthy preparation and recovery process, which can take several weeks. With these requirements in mind, the last several years have seen a jump in more patients opting for a less invasive, less time-consuming alternative – liquid facelifts.
Liquid facelifts are a combination treatment that uses high-quality dermal fillers to lift lax or sagging skin into a more youthful appearance. Unlike traditional facelifts, which require scalpels in order to tighten loose skin from the face and jowls, liquid facelifts are completely non-invasive. During the treatment, dermal fillers are strategically injected via hypodermic needle in specific areas, helping improve volume. Depending on the filler type being used, some even help stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting results. Instead of requiring lengthy recovery time after their treatment, liquid facelift patients can leave our office following their appointment and get right back into their routine.
Why we love liquid facelifts
Given the non-invasive nature of this procedure, liquid facelifts offer patients many important benefits. By dropping the surgical aspect of treatment, liquid facelifts serve the needs of patients who may be experiencing the signs of aging but don’t quite need nor want to the commitment that comes with plastic surgery. Instead, liquid facelifts offer an effective intermediate option, letting patients take control over their aging process all without surgery.
The natural looking results is another reason why our patients ask about liquid facelifts. While surgery can help by physically removing excess skin, the results can be a dramatic change and may leave some feeling overdone. In contract, the placement of the injectables can be better controlled and more strategic with liquid facelifts. Furthermore, these treatments are designed to create natural looking results. For many who are on the fence about undergoing surgery, the natural looking results can be a huge benefit.
Am I a candidate?
Another advantage of liquid facelifts is how the treatment can be adapted to almost any patient experiencing skin laxity. By eliminating the surgical aspect from the facelift procedure and replacing it with high quality injectables, liquid facelifts are a safe option for any healthy adult patient. For best results, we recommend the combination procedure for men and women with:
Mild to moderate sagging around the jawline and neck
Wrinkles or creases around the mouth
Wrinkles or creases around the eyes
Sunken cheekbones or hollows below the eyes
It is important to note that as liquid facelifts leverage injectables like dermal fillers and Botox, treatment results do not last as long as traditional facelifts. Often, patients enjoy their results for anywhere from four to nine months then return to their specialist for touch-up treatments.
