8 Point Lift
The 8-point lift was developed by Brazilian surgeon Dr Mauricio de Maio and involves injecting long lasting filler in 8 distinct treatment areas.
The 8 point face lift treatment areas are as follows:
- Three points are along the cheekbone and in the tear trough
- Point four is by the nasal-labial folds
- Point five is under the client's bottom lip
- Points six and seventh are placed along the jawline
- Point eight is just in front of the ear
This series of injections leads to a subtle but noticeable improvement in the firmness and elasticity of the skin, giving a long-lasting and natural result.
At present the following brands are used within clinic
- Restylane
- Juverderm
- Filorga
- Alliaxin
- Revolax
- Effects of the treatment will be immediately noticeable and will continue to improve over the following days, post treatment.
- It is advised that the client refrains from consuming alcohol or exercising for 24 hours post treatment. Both can cause vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and can heighten the risk of bruising.
- To aid longevity, it is advised that extreme temperatures are avoided for 2 weeks post treatment.
- To avoid risk of infection it is advised that makeup isn’t worn for 12-24 hours post treatment.
- Depending on the area treatment results will last between 3-12 months, sometimes longer but this does vary from client to client. The treatment effects will gradually wear off.
