Confused between Sculptra and Filler? We explain the difference between "filling" volume and "growing" collagen to help you choose the best anti-aging treatment in Cohasset.

For decades, if you wanted to significantly lift sagging cheeks or fix a jowly jawline, you had one option: surgery. You had to commit to anesthesia, weeks of hiding away to heal, and a permanent change to your face. Today, the treatment innovations have changed and patients have less invasive options. At Compass Light Med Spa, one of our most requested treatments is the "Liquid Facelift." It is the modern answer for patients in Cohasset who want to look refreshed and lifted now , without the downtime or commitment of going under the knife. But what exactly is it? Is it just a lot of Botox? Here is the deep dive into how we use injectable architecture to restore the "Triangle of Youth." What Exactly Is a Liquid Facelift? A Liquid Facelift is not a specific product in a box. It is a customized combination treatment that uses two types of injectables in a single session: Neurotoxins (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin): To relax the upper face and smooth dynamic lines. Dermal Fillers (Restylane/Radiesse): To physically lift and re-inflate the mid and lower face. Think of it like renovating a house. Neurotoxins like Botox, iron out the wrinkles in the curtains. Filler rebuilds the foundation and walls that have started to settle. Need a refresher on the basics? Read our Ultimate Guide to Facial Rejuvenation in Cohasset to learn how these ingredients work. The Anatomy of a Liquid Facelift When we design a Liquid Facelift at Compass Light, we are usually addressing three specific zones to create harmony. Zone 1: The Mid-Face Lift (Cheeks) Aging often starts with volume loss in the cheeks. As the fat pads shrink, the skin above them sags, creating "nasolabial folds" (smile lines) near the mouth. The Fix: We inject a structural filler (like Restylane) deep onto the cheekbone. The Result: This acts like a tent pole, putting the skin back up to its original position. It doesn't just make your cheeks look fuller; it pulls up the lower face, reducing smile lines indirectly. Zone 2: The Lower Face Definition (Jaw & Chin) A weak chin or undefined jawline can make the neck look older than it is. The Fix: We use a firm filler (like Radiesse) to sharpen the jawline angle and project the chin. The Result: A crisp, defined profile that separates your face from your neck. Zone 3: The Polish (Eyes & Forehead) Once the structure is restored, we polish the canvas. The Fix: We use Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport to smooth the forehead and crow's feet. The Result: An open, rested appearance that looks like you just returned from a long vacation. Who Is the Ideal Candidate? The Liquid Facelift is perfect for the "Gap Patient"—someone who notices aging but doesn't have enough loose skin to warrant a surgical neck lift. You are likely a great candidate if: You feel you look "tired" even when you are well-rested. You have noticed your cheeks look flatter than they used to. You want to see results immediately (perhaps for a wedding or reunion). You want to avoid the "wind-blown" look of surgery. The "Fear of Looking Overdone" We know the fear: "I don't want to look like a different person." At Compass Light, we follow a "Less is More" philosophy. A good Liquid Facelift should be undetectable. Your friends shouldn't ask, "Who did your filler?" They should ask, "Have you been sleeping better? You look great." We build the result in layers. We can always add more product later, but our goal is to restore your natural anatomy, not distort it. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How much does a Liquid Facelift cost? A: Because it is customized, pricing varies based on how many syringes of filler are needed. During your consultation, we will provide a customized treatment plan of the exact units and injections you’ll need for the areas being treated. Q: Is the recovery difficult? A: Not at all. We call it a "Lunchtime Lift" for a reason. You can drive yourself home immediately. You may have some swelling or minor bruising for 3–5 days, so we recommend scheduling it at least two weeks before any major social events. Q: How long will it last? A: The Neurotoxin portion will need a refresh in 3–4 months. The Filler portion typically lasts 9 to 18 months, and sometimes longer depending on the product used and the metabolism of the patient .

A Clear Start to the New Year: Discover Laser Treatments at Compass Light

As the temperature drops and the coastal air turns crisp, our skin often starts sending out SOS signals — tightness, flakiness, redness, or that dull, lackluster look that just won’t quit. Winter can be harsh on even the healthiest skin, but the good news is that with a few smart adjustments and some professional care, you can keep your complexion smooth, hydrated, and glowing all season long.  At Compass Light Aesthetics & Rejuvenation, we believe that beautiful skin shouldn’t depend on the weather. With the right products, treatments, and a little expert guidance, you can protect your skin’s natural barrier, lock in hydration, and bring back that radiant, just-stepped-out-of-the-spa glow, even in the middle of winter. Why Winter Skin Suffers When temperatures drop, the air loses humidity, and your skin loses moisture. Add indoor heating, hot showers, and brisk winds, and it’s no surprise that your complexion starts to feel dry, sensitive, or uneven. At the center of it all is your moisture barrier, the protective lipid layer that locks in hydration and shields your skin from environmental stress. When that barrier gets compromised, moisture escapes and irritants sneak in, leading to dryness, redness, and dullness. Think of your barrier like the roof of your home; if it’s cracked or damaged, everything underneath becomes vulnerable. Repairing and strengthening that barrier is the key to keeping your skin healthy through the cold months. The Hydration Equation: Layering Smart for Lasting Moisture Hydration isn’t just about drinking more water (though that helps!). It’s about giving your skin the right combination of water-based hydration and oil-based moisture — and applying them in the correct order. A great winter skincare routine looks like this: A gentle, hydrating cleanser that won’t strip your skin. A hydrating serum packed with humectants like hyaluronic acid to pull in moisture. A barrier-strengthening moisturizer to seal it all in. And yes, SPF every day, even when it’s cloudy. At Compass Light, we recommend two standout skincare lines that truly deliver results in winter: Epionce – This botanically based, dermatologist-developed line focuses on repairing and protecting the skin barrier. It’s gentle, clinically proven, and perfect for calming winter irritation while restoring natural softness. Plated - This line marks a dramatic breakthrough in anti-aging as it is the first and only skincare to harness the power of platelet-derived exosomes. This advanced technology unlocks our body’s innate but often dormant ability to transform its appearance and uncover our truest skin health from within. ZO® Skin Health – Known for its science-driven formulations and powerful active ingredients, ZO® offers targeted solutions for dryness, dullness, and uneven tone, helping skin stay resilient through even the harshest weather. These lines are available at Compass Light, and our team can help you choose the right products for your skin type and goals. Winter-Approved Treatments to Reset and Replenish Winter is actually the best time to focus on skin renewal. With less sun exposure and more time indoors, your skin can heal, rebuild, and truly thrive from deeper treatments. Here are our top picks for the season: Hydrafacial – A gentle yet powerful treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses your skin with moisture. It uses vortex technology to cleanse deeply while delivering antioxidants and peptides, leaving your skin instantly smoother, plumper, and glowing. Microneedling or RF Microneedling – These collagen-stimulating treatments strengthen your skin from within, improving texture, fine lines, and elasticity. By creating controlled micro-channels in the skin (and adding heat with RF), they trigger natural healing that firms, tightens, and rejuvenates with long-lasting results. Laser Skin Care – Fall and winter are ideal for laser treatments. With reduced UV exposure, your skin can safely recover as lasers fade pigmentation, smooth texture, and repair summer sun damage. Laser sessions can target discoloration, fine lines, redness, and uneven texture all at once—revealing clearer, brighter, more even skin. IV Hydration Therapy – Don’t forget about internal hydration! IV drips replenish fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into your bloodstream, giving your skin and body a healthy, hydrated boost from the inside out. This fast-acting therapy supports energy, immunity, and overall skin vibrancy, making it an especially powerful winter pick-me-up. At Compass Light, every treatment plan is personalized to your needs, ensuring your skin receives exactly what it craves this season. Smart Seasonal Swaps for Everyday Glow Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference. Try these winter skincare tweaks to keep your complexion happy between treatments: Use a humidifier at night to restore moisture in the air. Avoid long, hot showers that strip your skin’s natural oils. Swap foaming cleansers for cream or oil-based cleansers that protect the barrier. Layer on a richer moisturizer or hydrating balm before bed. Keep applying SPF daily — yes, even when it’s snowing! If you’re unsure where to start, book a consultation at Compass Light for a personalized winter skin assessment. Alysia and her team are happy to sit and discuss your concerns and goals, provide an evaluation, and outline the treatment options best suited to your skin.
