Liquid Facelift
A holistic lift without going under the knife — CaHA and PLLA collagen stimulators that prompt your skin to produce its own collagen.
Are You Ready to Lift Your Whole Face Without the Risks of Surgery, by Prompting Your Skin to Produce Its Own Collagen?
Ageing does not happen at a single point; bone resorption, the downward descent of fat pads and the loss of the skin's own collagen/elastin network occur simultaneously across the entire face. Injecting filler into a single fold may offer a temporary fix, but it does not restore the biological and structural support the face has lost.
At Dr. Ahmet Demir Clinic, the Liquid Facelift is a holistic cellular and structural reconstruction protocol using Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) and their synergistic hybrid (combination) formulations, which reactivate the collagen factories in the deeper layers of the skin.
What Is a Liquid Facelift and How Does It Work?
A liquid facelift is the targeted application of smart biostimulators (Calcium Hydroxylapatite – CaHA and Poly-L-Lactic Acid – PLLA) and hybrid combinations along the face's anatomical support vectors, without any surgical incision or general anaesthesia.
With This Advanced Biostimulation Technology:
- Type I and Type III Collagen Production (Neocollagenesis): CaHA and PLLA microspheres stimulate the fibroblast cells in the connective tissue, multiplying the skin's own collagen production.
- Structural Support: Injections placed on the bone and into the deep fat layers of the face lift sagging cheeks and jowls back up.
- Tissue Densification and Firming: Without creating a filled, artificial look or puffiness, skin quality improves, thinned tissue thickens and elasticity is restored.
The Biostimulators and Combination Protocols We Use
In our liquid facelift protocols, we choose formulations tailored to each patient's degree of skin ageing and sagging:
1. Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Injections
CaHA consists of mineral microspheres that also occur naturally in bone and teeth. When placed at the face's support points, it provides an immediate vector lift and, over the following months, weaves a strong collagen network.
2. Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Protocols
PLLA is a biostimulator that biologically restructures the deeper layers of the skin, initiating gradual, long-term collagen production. It replenishes overall tissue loss and hollows in the face with natural volume made from your own tissue.
3. Synergistic Hybrid (CaHA + PLLA + HA) Combinations
To achieve a rapid vector lift and initiate long-term cellular collagen stimulation in the same session, we use special combined protocols in which CaHA and PLLA are blended with hyaluronic acid.
Who Is a Liquid Facelift Suitable For?
- Those beginning to notice overall sagging, loss of elasticity, fine lines and loss of volume in the face,
- Those who do not want their face to look "puffy or wider" from classic fillers and simply wish to firm up with their own tissue,
- Those who do not want a surgical facelift and have no time for stitches or long recovery periods,
- It is suitable for all our female and male patients seeking a holistic, natural and dynamic rejuvenation across the face, neck and décolletage.
How Is the Treatment Performed? What Is the Process?
A liquid facelift is a specialised procedure that reflects the physician's experience in deep anatomy and biostimulation:
- Vector Facial Mapping: The face's areas of volume loss, ligament lines and lifting vectors are identified.
- Comfort with Local Anaesthesia: An anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment areas to keep the patient comfortable.
- Injection with Blunt Cannula Technology: CaHA and PLLA solutions are placed evenly into the deep and middle layers of the skin using special blunt-tip cannulas that do not harm blood vessels or nerves.
- A Quick Procedure (30–45 Minutes): The treatment is extremely comfortable. Thanks to the blunt cannula, the risk of bruising and swelling is minimal, and the patient can return to social life straight away.
What Do We Do? Why Choose Us? (The Dr. Ahmet Demir Clinic Approach)
Our core philosophy in liquid facelifting: Not Inflating the Face, but Rebuilding It with Its Own Collagen.
- True Biostimulation Expertise: Rather than fillers that merely hold water temporarily, we apply Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and PLLA protocols that transform the skin's cellular structure, with precision in both dosage and layer.
- A Natural, Dynamic Face Without Puffiness: Because we do not load your face with extra external mass, it does not grow artificially larger; it simply returns to the firm, fresh anatomical form it had years ago.
- A Long-Term Biological Investment: The collagen production triggered by CaHA and PLLA continues to build for months, and your skin quality keeps improving day by day.
Benefits of the Treatment and Why It Must Be Performed by a Physician
- It Is Not Surgery: There are no incisions, stitches, bandages or general anaesthesia risks.
- Long-Lasting Cellular Effect: Thanks to the collagen network triggered by CaHA and PLLA injections, results last longer than 18 to 24 months.
- A Physician Is Essential: Correct dilution of CaHA and PLLA biostimulators, cannula placement at the right depth (subdermal/periosteal) and even distribution are vital. Because faulty injections can cause nodules or asymmetry, the procedure must always be performed by a qualified physician.

Turning back the years with your own collagen, without loading your face with artificial volume, is in your hands!
Frequently asked questions
Is a Liquid Facelift with CaHA and PLLA Painful?
No. Thanks to the anaesthetic creams applied beforehand and blunt cannula technology, the injection sensation is minimal and the procedure is very comfortable.
When Do the Results Appear and How Long Do They Last?
With CaHA and hybrid combinations, the initial lifting effect is noticeable immediately. The main collagen-stimulating effect of PLLA and CaHA becomes evident between weeks 2 and 6, and the skin tissue grows firmer day by day. Results last for 1.5 to 2 years.
Will My Face Look Puffy or Artificial?
Absolutely not. CaHA and PLLA are not fillers that widen the face; on the contrary, they are collagen stimulators that firm and lift the skin's own underlying tissue.
Liquid Facelift Prices 2026 – Istanbul: How Are They Determined?
Liquid facelift prices are determined by the number of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) or PLLA vials/syringes used, the size of the treatment area and the scope of the personalised combination protocol.
