Two Anti-Aging Treatments In One
SOFT LIFT™ combines the enormous advantages of two of the most successful anti-aging techniques to give you a complete and natural facial transformation. While BOTOX® softens the wrinkles around your eyes and mouth, lifting your brow, JUVÉDERM® works to infuse your cheeks, chin and lips with volume for a fuller, more youthful appearance. This non-invasive, innovative procedure is an ideal alternative to a traditional facelift, successfully targeting the same regions of your face for a quicker, safer way of naturally reinvigorating your skin.
SOFT LIFT™ is optimal for:
- Adding volume to cheeks and temples
- Eliminating smile lines
- Plumping up thin lips
- Restoring facial balance
- Enhancing the contours of your face
- Softening and smoothing out wrinkles including crow’s feet, horizontal forehead lines and mouth lines.
Is SOFT LIFT™ An Effective Anti-Aging Technique?
Over the years, repetitive facial muscle movements can cause skin to crease, especially once it begins to lose elasticity. SOFT LIFT™ can address the visible signs of aging in multiple areas of your face, and provide a refreshed look that’s subtle and natural looking. First, your skin care specialist will use BOTOX® to block nerve impulses from contracting muscles, which will correct the shallow, superficial lines that appear on your face over time. A few small injections of BOTOX®, and your muscles relax. The lines and wrinkles gradually fade. (Note: BOTOX® is a brand name of Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified protein produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum). Find out how BOTOX® can be used in unconventional ways to benefit your health.
Next, your skin care specialist will identify any deep wrinkles or sinking areas that will benefit from injecting JUVÉDERM® to create more volume and elasticity. JUVÉDERM® is a gel made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar found in body tissues, such as skin and cartilage. This commonly-used dermal filler binds to water in the deep layers of skin, restoring lost volume, and fills facial lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are effective at filling in deeply furrowed areas, which can be present even when the face is relaxed. Results may be less dramatic than those of a surgical procedure, however, in comparison with a surgical facelift, Soft Lift™ is minimally invasive, and requires little to no recovery time. Typically, the desired results of this dual-action treatment will last up to a year.

FAQ
Q: Is Soft Lift™ right for me?
A: During a consultation with one of our skin specialists, we will take into consideration factors such as your aesthetic needs, current health status and medical history to evaluate whether SOFT LIFT™ is right for you. Typically, it should not be considered a treatment option for patients:
- With severe allergies and a history of anaphylaxis
- With known allergies to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins, or to any components of BOTOX®
- With a motor neuron, or neuromuscular disease
- Who are pregnant or breastfeeding
When carried out safely and by a trained and experienced skin care specialist, SOFT LIFT™ is a quick and comfortable alternative to more aggressive surgical procedures, personalized for your individual goals and needs.
Q: What is the recovery time after a Soft Lift™?
A: A Soft Lift™ procedure requires minimal recovery, meaning you can get back to your regular activities almost immediately. If you do experience swelling, tenderness, or bruising, it should resolve within a few days. It’s essential to avoid pressing on, rubbing, or massaging treated areas within the first 24 hours post-procedure to prevent undesirable effects.
Q: Does a Soft Lift™ replace a laser or surgical procedure?
A: Combining BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM® creates an effective anti-aging approach that can correct visible signs of aging, but they do not address skin issues such as sun damage, scars, or enlarged pores.
