When it was first launched in 2010, the 8 point face lift raised the bar for non-surgical face lift. Since then, techniques has evolved and the procedure has become more sophisticated over time with a series of further advancements.
Originally developed by Brazilian Plastic Surgeon, Dr Mauricio de Maio, the 8 point face lift introduced a set of 8 standardised injection points to lifts the tissues and improve the structure of the face as well as restoring lost volume. The 8 point face lift made the treatment scientific and logical; while the set format made it reproducible.
Yet 10 years of advancements in knowledge, products and expertise mean that the best has continued to get better in the hands of advanced practitioners.
Choosing one of a non-surgical facelift with the right practitioner means the potential for results that make a significant improvement to how young you look while also keeping a natural appearance.
Non-Surgical Face Lift Developments
So how has the non-surgical face lift evolved over the last few years?
Understanding of Facial Anatomy:
With advancements in technology and medical research, experts are continuing to develop a deeper understanding of facial anatomy AND how treatments can influence it. This knowledge has allowed for the identification of key areas to target during the procedure, leading to better, more targeted results.Strategic Placement of Dermal Fillers:
The 8 point face lift primarily utilises dermal fillers to restore facial volume and lift sagging skin. While this was initially a set format, over time, skilled experts have understood how to fine-tune the placement of these fillers, identifying adjustments to those original 8 points and/or additional points on the face that can provide more natural-looking results. By strategically injecting the fillers at these specific points, it is possible to achieve a lifted, rejuvenated appearance.Individualised Treatment Approach:
Another advancement in the 8 point face lift technique is the shift towards an individualised treatment approach. Previously, a standardised approach was followed, but now, practitioners assess each patient’s unique facial structure, concerns, and desired outcomes to create customised treatment plans. This personalised approach ensures that the procedure addresses the patients’ specific needs, resulting in more refined and natural-looking results.Improvement in Dermal Filler Technology:
The development of newer and more advanced dermal fillers has significantly contributed to the sophistication of the 8 point face lift. These newer fillers offer longer-lasting results, improved biocompatibility, and a better ability to integrate naturally with the surrounding facial tissues. The improved technology ensures that the fillers provide a more subtle and natural outcome.Minimally Invasive Techniques:
The evolution of the 8 point face lift has also led to the adoption of minimally invasive techniques. Instead of relying solely on surgical procedures, such as traditional facelifts, the 8 point face lift offers a non-surgical alternative. This approach reduces the risks, downtime, and potential complications associated with surgery, making the procedure more accessible and appealing to a wider range of patients.Combination Treatments:
The 8 point face lift technique has embraced the concept of combination treatments. This means that practitioners may combine dermal fillers with other non-surgical procedures, such as anti-wrinkle injections, laser skin resurfacing or ultrasound treatment to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. By combining different approaches, the 8 point face lift has become more sophisticated, allowing for a more holistic and tailored outcome.
Overall, the sophistication of the 8 point face lift has evolved as a result of improved knowledge of facial anatomy, targeted application of dermal fillers, individualised treatment plans, advancements in filler technology, adoption of minimally invasive techniques, and the utilisation of combination treatments.
These advancements have made the 8 point face lift more refined, natural-looking, and effective in achieving facial rejuvenation.
