The 8-point facelift is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation technique that involves injecting dermal fillers into eight strategic points on the face.
Long-lasting dermal fillers are used to restore lost volume and support, which can help to lift and tighten the skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve facial contours.
The 8-point facelift was first developed in the early 2010s by Brazilian plastic surgeon Mauricio de Maio. Dr. de Maio’s goal was to create a minimally invasive procedure that could achieve the same results as a traditional surgical facelift, but with less downtime and risk.
The 8-point lift changed the way patients and practitioners think about anti-ageing dermal fillers; using them strategically to lift and reshape rather than just revolumise.
However, the 8-point facelift has evolved significantly since it was first introduced. Early on, the technique was relatively straightforward, with fillers being injected into the same points on every patient. However, as practitioners gained more experience, they began to realise that the ideal placement of fillers can vary depending on a person’s individual facial anatomy and the specific areas of concern.
As a result, the 8-point facelift has become more sophisticated over time. Elite aesthetic practitioners take a more individualised approach to the procedure, tailoring the treatment to each patient’s unique needs. This has led to more natural-looking results and a wider range of benefits.
Multi-Point Face Lift
at Mulberry House Clinic
At his Northamptonshire skin clinic, Dr John Tanqueray has developed his own unique and sophisticated variant of the 8-point face lift – known as the multi-point face lift. This holistic approach incorporates treatment for all areas of the face, including the jawline, chin, lips, temples and brows.
The principle of the multi-point face lift is to tailor the treatment to each patient’s unique needs. It is a bespoke procedure where a multitude of tiny adjustments help to achieve a natural-looking anti-ageing result.
Advanced dermal filler types
In addition to the evolution of the technique itself, there have also been advances in the types of dermal fillers that are used in 8-point facelifts. Early on, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers were the only option available. However, in recent years, a number of new HA fillers have been introduced, as well as other types of fillers, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA). These new fillers offer a wider range of properties, which can be used to achieve different results.
As a result of these advances, the non-surgical facelift has become a highly effective and versatile non-surgical facial rejuvenation technique. It can be used to address a wide range of concerns, from age-related volume loss to wrinkles and facial asymmetry. The procedure is also relatively safe and has a short recovery time.
If you are considering an 8-point facelift, it is important to consult with a qualified practitioner to discuss your individual needs and goals. A skilled injector will be able to assess your facial anatomy and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
