8 POINT NON SURGICAL FACELIFT
An advanced aesthetic treatment which provides facial rejuvenation and lift.
​
​
WHAT IS AN 8 POINT FACELIFT?
​
The 8-point face lift is also sometimes referred to as a non-surgical face lift, as it can produce a similarly transformative lifting and rejuvenating result, but without the cost, downtime or risks involved with surgery.
The 8-point face lift uses advanced dermal fillers not to restore volume but to lift the tissues and structure of the face to produce a more youthful profile. Sophisticated techniques require working across 8 injecting points on each side of the face. These are precise injecting sites which help to form the overall facial structure:
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
1 & 2 Cheek bone/structure: Enhancing the cheek bones often helps to lift the nasolabial folds and adds to the overall impact
​
​
3 Tear troughs: Rejuvenating tired hollows under the eyes leads to a more awake, alert and youthful look
​
​
4 Nasolabial fold: Smoothing out the lines which appear in the nose to mouth area improves the youthful appearance
​
5 Mouth corners: Lift the mouth area can improve a person’s appearance, smoothing away any ageing angry or sad look.
​
6 Prejowl area: The 8 Point Lift can help to reduce or improve jowls caused by loss of volume in the jaw, cheek and chin area
​
7 Jawline: A subtle lift to the jawline can create a more youthful ‘V’ instead of an ageing ‘U’ shaped chin and jaw area
​
8 Lower cheeks: Hollow cheeks are ageing and gaunt, but also impact on the rest of the face too. Smoother, plumper cheeks lift the whole face

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?
The treatment will begin by applying a cream containing an anesthetic across the face. The 8 Point Face Lift uses dermal fillers to achieve the client’s desired look. These injections are administered to specific areas of the face (For example, the cheeks or under the eyes) or to the whole face, depending on the clients individual requirements. During the treatment, high quality fillers are injected into precise points of the face to restore the youthful firmness and volume of your skin. Dermal fillers are a very effective treatment for tackling the skin thinning and sagging, that can happen with age, and the 8-Point treatment can ensure that the fillers, are directed precisely where they are needed. Targeting all of the eight key points simultaneously ensures that your whole face is lifted at once, creating a very natural look. Using dermal fillers in just one part of the face can work very well when you need to tackle specific signs of ageing, but only the 8 Point treatment process can rejuvenate your whole face.

​
WHAT RESULTS ARE EXPECTED?
Results are immediately, with areas injected looking firmer and fuller straight after injection. However, it is usual to expect some swelling and possibly mild bruising post treatment, so it can take up to 2 weeks to see full benefit. Final results see skin looking firmer, more lifted, with a reduction in lines and wrinkles.
Results normally last between 4-9 months, this is dependent on the individual’s skin type and aftercare. After this time there may be a second treatment required. The client’s skincare routine may also affect the skin pigment and definition. To help maintain the effects of your facelift we recommend that you have a follow up treatment every 9-12 months.
DOES THE PROCEDURE HURT?
A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the face prior to treatment to ensure that minimal discomfort is experienced. Injection sites can be tender for a few days but this should subside quite quickly. If the aftercare advice is followed recovery should be swift and you will be able to enjoy your new look. Dermal Fillers are very safe if administered by an appropriate qualified Nurse/Doctor in an appropriate medical setting.
​
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
The treatment is recommended over two sessions, usually one calendar month apart for the best results. A further treatment may be required after six months to maintain the skins appearance.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME?
The recovery time is usually between 24-72 hours post-procedure. It is highly recommended that the client follows the post-procedure recommendations to avoid complications. It is recommended that you avoid smoking after the procedure. Smoking can cause the skin to tighten and constrict, and may shorten the life of the procedure and the clients overall look. We recommend not doing any form of strenuous exercise, going in a spa/sauna or drinking alcohol for the first 24-48 hours. If you are planning to have the procedure for a special event, we recommend having the procedure at least 4 weeks prior, as it will often take several weeks to settle in properly. Your age can also be a factor in the healing time.
