Liquid facelift & threadlift.

Liquid facelift & threadlift — a same-day, non-surgical lift, no scalpel and no overnight stay

A liquid facelift and a thread lift do the same job from two directions: they lift and firm a face that has begun to soften, without a scalpel and without general anaesthetic. The liquid side uses biostimulators — calcium-hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) and poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra / PLLA) — placed in the deeper tissue, where they give an immediate structural lift and, over the following weeks, prompt your own skin to lay down fresh collagen. The thread side uses barbed PDO / PLLA threads passed under the skin to physically reposition and support the mid-face, jawline and neck. Used together they are a genuine non-surgical facelift: the change is mechanical and biological, not surface camouflage.

At HEC — a one-day daycare clinic in Istanbul, part of Bahat Medical Group (established 1994; a JCI- and TEMOS-accredited facility) — a liquid facelift in Turkey is a single appointment under aesthetic-medicine supervision. Roughly 45 minutes of treatment after a topical-numbing wait, then you walk out. No incision, no ward, no overnight stay unless you add a hotel night to rest.

What it is | Tool | What it is | What it does | |---|---|---| | Radiesse (CaHA) | Calcium-hydroxylapatite gel, placed deep | Immediate lift, then a gradual collagen build | | Sculptra (PLLA) | Poly-L-lactic acid, a collagen biostimulator | Slow, diffuse firming over several weeks | | PDO / PLLA threads | Barbed absorbable threads under the skin | Physically reposition and hold sagging tissue |

Sag or volume — the honest sort The most useful question is what has changed. A lift treats laxity; it does not fix an empty face.

If the real problem is lost volume rather than sag, the honest answer is filler, not a lift — the 24-hour plan says which, and why.

Choreography | Time | What happens | |---|---| | 09:30 | Consultation, face mapping, photos | | 10:00 | Topical anaesthetic, planning marks | | 10:45 | Biostimulator and/or thread placement (~45 min) | | 11:30 | Mirror review, aftercare walk-through | | 12:00 | Discharge from the lounge — a light day advised |

Who is a candidate Good fit: - Mild-to-moderate facial laxity, early jowling, mid-face descent - You want lift and firmness without surgery and without downtime - Realistic expectation: a refresh and reposition, not a surgical result

Not the right fit — and we will tell you plainly:
- Heavy, advanced sagging that only a surgical facelift will correct
- Active skin infection, or certain autoimmune or clotting conditions
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Anyone wanting a permanent, one-and-done outcome

Recovery There is effectively no downtime. Expect some tenderness, mild swelling and the occasional small bruise for 24–72 hours; threads can feel tight or "pull" for a few days as they settle. Most people go about their day at once and return to work the next. Skip heavy exercise, saunas and dental work for about two weeks. Biostimulator results are gradual by design — you look progressively firmer over the following weeks rather than all at once, which is what keeps the result looking like you.

What it is not People often reach this page searching for Morpheus8, RF microneedling or RF skin tightening. We will be straight with you: HEC uses no radiofrequency, no laser and no energy device of any kind, and we do not perform chemical peels. We do not tighten skin by heating it. Instead we lift laxity mechanically with PDO threads and rebuild support biologically with Sculptra / Radiesse biostimulators — a Morpheus8 alternative that reaches the same goal, skin tightening without surgery, by a different route. It is also not a facelift: it will not remove large amounts of excess skin, and where a surgical lift is genuinely the right answer, we say so and refer you rather than sell a course that cannot deliver it.

The package This is sold as a plan, not a single jab. Before anything is booked you receive a 24-hour, specialist-signed and fully costed plan — one number for the whole course, with the products, the number of sessions, the numbing, the mapping and the aftercare all inside it. It covers your consultation, treatment, a settle-in review, and 12 months of video follow-up so a doctor can watch the collagen build and time the next session. An optional hotel night can be added if you would rather rest before travelling home. Pricing always comes from that plan — never from this page.
