1 & 2. Cheek structure – The youthful volume and definition in cheeks are progressively lost over time.

3. Tear troughs – Over time, loss of volume in the tear trough area leads to formation of a hollow depression, producing a tired appearance.

4. Nasolabial folds – These lines that run from the corner of our nose to our mouth, gradually deepen as we lose the soft issue volume in our face

5. Mouth frown – Over time the corners of our lips begin to turn down and become more pronounced.

6. Pre-jowl area – Downward movement of soft tissue volume on the face due to loss of collagen and elastin leads to slowly appearance of Jowls, hence giving the face a heavy look.

7. Jawline – The jawline is a smooth line extending from our jaw to our chin which over time loses its definition.

8. Cheek volume – As we age, loss of volume in the mid-face area can make our cheeks look hollow.

In the past, the only method available to address the above concerns would have been a surgical face lift. However, one of the more recent advances involves the use of High quality dermal fillers from Restylane and Juvéderm, to restore volume to the face using advanced precise technique for total rejuvenation. This procedure is the non-surgical 8 Point Facelift, also reffered to as the “8 Point Approach” or “Liquid Facelift”.

In the 8 point facelift the 8 disctinct areas of aging on the face are identified and treated. It enhances the natural beauty of ones facial features where the youthful soft tissue under the skin has been lost. Replacing the lost volume from these 8 key points can produce a rejuvenated and refreshed look.

The 8 Point facelift offers a more complete anti-aging solution compared to individual dermal filler treatments. Using dermal fillers in this way has its origins in the work of the Brazilian Plastic Surgeon Dr Mauricio De Maio whose method is now revolutionising the non-surgical facelift with no need for downtime, producing results that are natural, add volume and restore youthful facial curves that provide a healthy, rejuvenated apprearance at any age.
