The liquid face lift is a variation of the MD Codes. This is an aesthetic medicine technique with immediate results. Hyaluronic acid injections are performed in strategic places to lift the face without adding volume. Visit botulinum toxin injections also have a role to play in opening up your gaze.
Facial sagging starts around the age of thirty and gets progressively worse.
The fat falls away, the volumes reabsorb, the first wrinkles appear and the face becomes sad and tired.
The causes of facial sagging are :
♦ Genetics: the speed of the phenomenon is partly genetically determined.
♦ The reabsorption of bone and fat, which are the supporting structures of the face.
♦ The fall of malar fat.
♦ Hormonal variations (at the time of pregnancy or the menopause, for example).
♦ Rapid weight loss.
♦ Intrinsic skin thinning (due to the passage of time) and extrinsic skin thinning (due to aggravating factors: smoking, the sun...).
The 8 Points Face Lift is a face-lift technique that does not add volume. It is obtained by injections of very firm hyaluronic acid.
The principle is to treat the causes of slackening:
Restore lost volume (bone and fat): the injections are very deep (in contact with the bone) and deep (deep fat).
Reinforce the eight support points of the face that weaken over time: the injections are very deep (in contact with the bone).
This is therefore a dual-plane technique.
The areas treated are :
♦ The valley of tears (point 3 on the image).
♦ The nasolabial fold (point 4 on the image).
♦ The cheekbones (points 1 and 2 on the image).
♦ The jugal region (point 8 on the image).
♦ The labial commissure (point 5 on the image).
♦ The mandibular line (points 6 and 7 on the image).
There is no specific age at which treatment should begin, and the amount of product used will depend on the patient's anatomy. Often, the indication for treatment arises just before the age of thirty.
