What is the 8 Point Face Lift?
The 8 Point Face Lift is a new way to look younger. It uses facial rejuvenation techniques that are both precise and artistic. This cosmetic procedure uses hyaluronic acid fillers to add volume to eight key areas of the face.
Dr Mauricio de Maio created this method. It’s a non-surgical way to fight signs of ageing, without the need for surgery or long recovery times.
Overview of the Procedure
This method aims to restore the face in three dimensions. It targets both surface lines and deeper issues. Practitioners use ultra-fine cannulas to inject fillers into specific spots.
The treatment takes 45–60 minutes. You’ll see results right away. One patient said:
“It felt like my face had been gently lifted back into its natural shape.”
Key Benefits of the 8 Point Lift
The treatment is non-surgical, making it perfect for those wanting subtle changes. The main benefits are:
- Natural-looking volume restoration
- Minimal downtime (24–48 hours)
- Customisable results tailored to facial anatomy
Our clinic also offers body contouring procedures to improve your overall look.
| Aspect | Traditional Facelift | 8 Point Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Invasiveness | Surgical incisions | Needle-based injections |
| Recovery Time | 2–3 weeks | 1–2 days |
| Results Timeline | 6–12 months (final) | Immediate improvement |
Why Choose an 8 Point Face Lift?
In today’s world, we all want to look good fast. The 8 Point Face Lift is a smart choice. It’s not as invasive as surgery but better than quick fixes. It gives you a natural look without the risks.
Non-Surgical Advantages
Our method is different from old-school facelifts. We use special fillers to lift your face, not cut it. This means:
- No surgery scars
- You can choose how much to fill
- It’s safer than surgery
Our clinics make it easy with quick consultations and top-notch fillers. These fillers are safe and approved by the FDA. They make small but noticeable changes, perfect for those who want a subtle look.
Immediate Results and Minimal Downtime
The whole thing takes just 30 minutes. You’ll see changes right away. You might have a bit of redness, but mineral makeup helps you get back to work fast. This is way better than surgery:
| Factor | Surgical Facelift | 8 Point Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure Time | 3-5 hours | 30 minutes |
| Recovery Period | 2-4 weeks | 24-48 hours |
| Anaesthesia | General required | Topical only |
This method is great for people who travel. Our team takes care of everything after you leave. They’ll book your stay and check on you later, making sure you recover well.
Areas Targeted in an 8 Point Face Lift
The 8 point face lift focuses on facial contouring by targeting eight key areas. It aims to restore balance to ageing features. Dr. Maria De Souza explains:
“True rejuvenation lies in rebalancing volume where it matters most, recreating the natural scaffolding of youth.”
Cheeks and Mid-Face
Volume loss in the mid-face can make the face look ‘flattened’. Our team uses customised filler placements along the zygomatic arch to:
- Rebuild cheekbone projection
- Lift sagging soft tissue
- Softens smile lines
| Treatment Focus | Technique | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Malar Augmentation | Lateral cheek injections | Restored facial width |
| Submalar Triangle | Deep volumetric support | Mid-face elevation |
Tear Troughs and Under Eyes
Dark circles under the eyes are a big worry for many in the UK. Our method includes:
- Micro-droplet injections along the orbital rim
- Cross-hatching in the palpebromalar groove
- Lateral canthal support
This approach reduces bruising and tackles both surface and deep issues.
| Concern | Solution | Recovery Time |
|---|---|---|
| Dark circles | Hybrid filler placement | 24-48 hours |
| Lower lid laxity | Collagen-stimulating products | 3-5 days |
Jawline and Chin Contouring
The last step focuses on jawline and chin definition. We use:
- Pre-jowl sulcus augmentation
- Mentalis muscle support
- Mandibular angle enhancement
Dr. De Souza notes:
“A strong chin acts as the anchor point for the entire facial V-shape – its proper alignment is key for natural results.”
| Area | Product Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Chin Tip | High-G’ fillers | 18-24 months |
| Jawline | Biostimulatory agents | 24+ months |
How the 8 Point Face Lift Works
Our facial rejuvenation method combines artistry with advanced science. It’s a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that targets eight key facial zones. We use dermal fillers to restore volume and enhance contours naturally.
The Injection Process Explained
During your 30-50 minute session, we focus on your comfort and clarity:
- Visual consultation: We use live mirrors to map your face and discuss what you want to change
- Numbing protocol: We apply a cream to make the injections almost painless
- Strategic placement: Our experts use special tools to place the filler exactly right
Many patients find the “immediate visual feedback transforms the experience”. They see their face change right before their eyes.
Products Used in the Procedure
We only use top-quality hyaluronic acid fillers from well-known brands:
| Brand | Ideal For | Syringe Options |
|---|---|---|
| Juvederm Vycross | Deep volume restoration | 3ml/5ml |
| Restylane Lyft | Structural support | 3ml |
These fillers blend well with your skin, lasting 12-18 months. They’re also fully reversible if you change your mind. For more facial rejuvenation, we can tailor a plan just for you.
The treatment can be adjusted to fit your needs. You can choose 3ml for a subtle look or 5ml for a more dramatic facial enhancement. This way, we can do everything from fine-tuning your eyes to defining your jawline in one cosmetic procedure.
Ideal Candidates for the 8 Point Face Lift
We look at more than just age when choosing patients for the 8 Point Face Lift. It’s great for those with early signs of ageing, like jowling or cheek hollows. At our London and Manchester clinics, we check three main things: how well the skin responds, its collagen health, and if it’s right for the procedure.
Age Considerations
Most people looking for the 8 Point Lift are in their late 30s to 50s. But we’ve helped both younger and older clients. The important things are:
- Visible but moderate mid-face descent
- Nasolabial folds that deepen with smiling
- Chin contour changes when tilting the head
“We’ve moved beyond age-based thresholds – it’s about how your skin ages, not when it started.”
Skin Type and Condition
The best results come from skin with good collagen levels. At your consultation, we’ll check:
| Assessment | Ideal Candidate | Requires Pre-Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Elasticity Test | Snap-back within 2 seconds | Delayed recoil |
| Hydration Levels | Balanced oil-water ratio | Severe dryness/oiliness |
| Sun Damage | Minor pigmentation | Advanced photoaging |
People with autoimmune conditions need special care. We review your medical history to make sure it’s safe and effective. This is important for those planning to travel after treatment.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Our 8 Point Face Lift focuses on precision and comfort. We use advanced techniques and care for you. From start to finish, we aim to meet your beauty goals safely.
Consultation Process
Your journey starts with a dual consultation-treatment session. This makes the experience smooth. Here’s what happens:
- We use 3D imaging technology to check your facial structure and show you what you might look like after treatment.
- Our medical team checks your skin’s elasticity and talks about the best treatment areas for you.
- We create a plan that focuses on natural-looking facial contouring just for you.
This part of the process takes 60-90 minutes. We make sure to get every detail right. Our imaging system is very accurate, helping us target small areas like the tear troughs.
Pain Management and Recovery
We make sure you’re comfortable with a two-stage numbing protocol:
| Method | Application Time | Duration | Comfort Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Topical Anaesthetic Cream | 20-30 mins pre-treatment | 2-3 hours | Mild pressure sensation |
| Cooling Packs | Immediately post-treatment | 15 mins | Soothing effect |
Most people say the cosmetic procedure feels like “gentle facial massage with occasional pressure points”. Swelling usually goes down in 48 hours. We offer luxury recovery suites to help you feel better right away. For more information, check out our visual guide to mid-face lift recovery showing how you’ll heal day by day.
Here are some important recovery points:
- 24 hours: You can start with light activities.
- 72 hours: You can use mineral makeup.
- 1 week: You can fully engage in social activities.
Post-Procedure Care for Best Results
Your journey to a rejuvenated appearance continues with bespoke post-treatment care. Our clinic combines medical precision with five-star hospitality. This ensures every patient experiences optimal recovery alongside luxury comfort.
Avoiding Common Mistakes
Many patients underestimate how daily habits impact their non-surgical facelift outcomes. We provide customised guidance to prevent these missteps:
- Avoid heat exposure (saunas/hot yoga) for 72 hours
- Refrain from alcohol consumption for 48 hours
- Postpone vigorous exercise for 5 days
All patients receive our signature recovery kit. It includes medical-grade cooling masks and 24/7 WhatsApp support. As one of our specialists notes:
“Proper aftercare isn’t just about restrictions – it’s about actively nurturing your results.”
Follow-Up Appointments
We schedule three essential check-ins at our Harley Street clinic:
| Timeframe | Care Focus | Recommended Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 48 Hours | Swelling Monitoring | Adjust cooling protocol |
| 2 Weeks | Result Assessment | Photographic analysis |
| 6 Weeks | Longevity Planning | Discuss maintenance options |
Our facial enhancement patients appreciate the convenience of combining follow-ups with London-based recovery stays. Over 85% opt for our 12-month maintenance plan. This ensures lasting definition without repeat procedures.
Final thought: Quality aftercare transforms good results into exceptional ones. Through personalised attention and luxury support systems, we help patients maintain their non-surgical facelift outcomes. They embrace renewed confidence.
Potential Side Effects and Risks
Knowing about possible side effects and rare complications helps patients decide wisely about this minimally invasive facelift. Our clinic follows strict safety rules, as required by CQC. Yet, every cosmetic procedure has its own risks, which we discuss openly.
Temporary Effects to Be Aware Of
Most people see mild, short-term reactions that go away in 72 hours:
- Bruising: This is common around where the injections were given – cold compresses help
- Swelling: It gets worse at 48 hours but is similar to swelling after a facial
- Redness/tenderness: We use special creams if it’s needed
We offer luxury recovery areas with LED masks to help these effects fade faster. Unlike cheaper places, our doctors are always ready to help you 24/7 during your first recovery days.
Long-Term Considerations
Though very rare with our methods, it’s good to know:
- Infection risks (less than 0.3%) are kept low with our clean protocols
- Any unevenness is fixed with free hyaluronidase treatments
- We use special methods to avoid filler spreading
Our long-term checks show 98% of patients are happy when they keep up with follow-ups. We only use safe, reversible fillers – something many cheap clinics don’t do.
“CQC-regulated clinics have 73% fewer problems than non-accredited ones in facial beauty treatments.”
We take careful consent and watch you closely after treatment. Your health is our top concern, from the first meeting to the final look.
Finding a Qualified Provider
Finding the right person for your 8 Point Face Lift is key. At our clinics, we focus on your safety and happiness. We make sure every provider is top-notch in aesthetic enhancement and facial contouring. This starts with clear talks and goes through your whole journey.
Questions to Ask During Your Consultation
Get ready for your first meeting by thinking about these important points:
- Product expertise: “Which dermal filler brands do you use, and why?”
- Safety protocols: “How do you handle rare complications or allergic reactions?”
- Customisation: “Can you explain how you’ll adapt the technique to my facial structure?”
We suggest looking at our before-and-after galleries during talks. They show real results for facial contouring goals like yours.
“The 8 Point Lift needs careful attention – always check a surgeon’s GMC registration and their training in this method.”
Importance of Certifications and Experience
When looking at providers, don’t overlook these important points:
- GMC registration with cosmetic surgery specialisation
- Minimum 200 hours’ hands-on training in 8 Point Lift techniques
- Membership in recognised bodies like BAAPS or BACD
Our team has more than skill – we have a keen eye for natural beauty in aesthetic enhancement. For a highly qualified facelift surgeon, our experts get checked twice a year to keep up with the latest.
Cost of the 8 Point Face Lift
Understanding the cost of a non-surgical facelift is key for making informed choices. Our clinic offers clear pricing, unlike some who surprise you with extra fees. The cost reflects the unique nature of each facial rejuvenation plan, combining top dermal fillers with expert care.
Factors Influencing Pricing
Prices vary from £1,200 to £2,800, based on the amount of syringe used and the area treated. More experienced practitioners, skilled in 8-point techniques, might charge more. This ensures precise cheek or jawline shaping. The location of the clinic and the brand of products, like Teosyal or Juvederm, also play a role in the cost. We include free aftercare visits to check on your progress.
Insurance and Financing Options
Most cosmetic treatments, including the 8-point lift, aren’t covered by private health insurance. We work with Payl8r to offer financing with 0% interest. This lets you pay in 3-12 months. For those looking to save, we suggest combining treatments with stay packages. Our team will give you a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation, focusing on clarity, not upselling.
