As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and our face can begin to sag and wrinkle. The 8 point face lift, also known as the liquid facelift, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that aims to lift and rejuvenate the face. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at what the 8 point facelift is, how it works, and the potential benefits and risks of the procedure.
What is the 8 point facelift?
The 8 point facelift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a combination of dermal fillers and muscle relaxants to lift and rejuvenate the face. It is called the 8 point facelift because it targets 8 specific areas of the face that can contribute to an aged appearance.
The 8 points of the face targeted by the procedure can include:
- Upper cheek
- Tear trough (under-eye area)
- Nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth)
- Corners of the mouth
- Pre-jowl area (jawline)
- Jawline
- Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin)
- Lower cheek
How does the 8 point facelift work?
The 8 point facelift works by using dermal fillers and muscle relaxants to add volume to specific areas of the face, which can help lift sagging skin and smooth out wrinkles. The procedure typically involves injecting a combination of hyaluronic acid fillers and muscle relaxants into each of the 8 targeted areas of the face.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are a type of dermal filler that work by adding volume to the skin, which can help lift sagging skin and smooth out wrinkles. Muscle relaxants, on the other hand, work by relaxing the muscles in the face, which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
The combination of dermal fillers and muscle relaxants used in the 8 point facelift can help restore a more youthful, natural-looking appearance to the face without the need for surgery.
What are the benefits of the 8 point facelift?
There are several potential benefits to the 8 point facelift, including:
- Non-surgical: The 8 point facelift is a non-surgical procedure, which means it doesn't require incisions or general anaesthetic. This can reduce the risk of complications and downtime associated with surgery.
- Natural-looking results: Because the 8 point facelift uses a combination of dermal fillers and muscle relaxants to lift and rejuvenate the face, the results can look natural and subtle.
- Immediate results: Unlike surgery, which can take several weeks or even months to fully recover from, the 8 point facelift can provide immediate results.
- Long-lasting results: The results of the 8 point facelift can last up to 18 months or more, depending on the specific products used and the individual's skin type.
- Customisable: The 8 point facelift can be customised to each individual's unique needs and concerns, which can help ensure the best possible results.
What are the risks of the 8 point facelift?
Like any cosmetic procedure, there are some potential risks associated with the 8 point facelift, including:
- Bruising and swelling: It's common to experience some bruising and swelling after the procedure, which can last for several days.
- Allergic reactions: Although rare, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to the dermal fillers or muscle relaxants used in the procedure.
- Infection: There is a small risk of infection associated with any injectable
