The “5 Points Lift“, also called lifting by injections, is a non-invasive facial rejuvenation technique. The product used, Profhilo, is a bio-remodeling hyaluronic acid that stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin. This treatment is unique because it does not fill hollows and does not restore volumes but acts as a true stimulator of cutaneous synthesis.
Profhilo is a stabilized hyaluronic acid which, once injected, integrates evenly into the tissues, thus improving the quality, firmness and elasticity of the skin. The particularity of this method lies in the injection at five strategic points on each side of the face, to obtain a global and harmonious lifting effect.
Skin aging is a natural phenomenon we all face with age. From the age of 25 to 30, the skin begins to gradually lose its elasticity and firmness. The collagen and elastin fibers that ensure the structure and tone of the skin degrade over time. At the same time, the natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to a loss of hydration and volume. This deterioration is often exacerbated by various external factors such as exposure to UV rays and free radicals ; pollution ; smoking ; poor diet and lack of hydration ; oxidative stress linked to the modern lifestyle.
These combined elements cause the appearance of wrinkles, a loss of volume and a sagging of the skin tissues, mainly visible on certain areas such as the cheeks, the facial contour and the neck. In this context, the demand for non-invasive treatments to fight skin laxity has increased considerably and innovative solutions have been developed, such as the 5 Points Lift or the 8-point medical lift.
Several factors contribute to skin sagging and the appearance of signs of aging.
• Biological aging : the progressive loss of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid makes the skin thinner and less resistant. The resorption of fat and bone worsens this phenomenon.
• Sun exposure : UV rays accelerate collagen degradation and promote the appearance of wrinkles.
• Stress : chronic stress triggers the production of cortisol, which accelerates cellular aging.
• Lifestyle habits : smoking, alcohol consumption, poor diet, lack of exercise and insufficient hydration also contribute to the loss of skin firmness.
These factors worsen over time, making non-invasive lifting solutions particularly appealing for treating signs of aging.
The 5 Points Lift is indicated for patients who wish to enhance their face naturally, without resorting to surgery. The main indications are :
• Moderate skin sagging : for people who begin to notice a loss of firmness in the cheeks, cheekbones, jawline and neck.
• The first signs of skin aging : fine lines, dull and dehydrated skin, loss of elasticity.
• Anti-aging prevention : for patients who want to preserve the youth of their skin and slow the appearance of signs of aging.
• A tired-looking face : this treatment revitalizes and restores radiance to devitalized skin.
This treatment is particularly suitable for patients between 30 and 60 years old who wish to improve skin elasticity, hydration and firmness and who are looking for a lifting effect without resorting to surgery.
Certain recommendations must be followed to optimize the results and avoid the occurrence of side effects.
• Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin in the days preceding the session to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising.
• Avoid alcohol consumption the day before and the day of the session. Alcohol increases the risk of bruising.
• Do not massage the injected areas to avoid moving the product.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, intense cold, and sports activities for 48 hours.
• Do not apply makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours.
• Follow any personalized advice from the doctor.
The effects of the 5 Points Lift are visible after 2 to 3 weeks. For optimal results, it is recommended to perform two sessions one month apart. Afterwards, maintenance sessions are recommended every 6 to 12 months depending on the patient’s metabolism and expectations.
As with any aesthetic treatment, although the risks are minimal, it is important to be informed about the possible side effects.
• Redness and slight swelling at the injection points.
• A sensation of warmth or tingling in the treated areas.
• Small bruises that resolve within a few days.
These effects are temporary and generally disappear in less than 48 hours. The 5 Points Lift is a safe procedure (when performed by an experienced doctor) with a high satisfaction rate.
The 5 Points Lift provides visible and long-lasting results. Patients report an improvement in skin firmness, elasticity and hydration. The face appears visibly smoother, younger and more toned, in short a natural lifting effect without altering volumes. The result is natural, without a frozen or artificial look, making it an ideal option for patients seeking discreet rejuvenation.
The results are progressive and become more pronounced after a few weeks, as the hyaluronic acid integrates into the tissues and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
These results last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the patient’s skin type, metabolism and lifestyle.
The price of a 5-point lift in Geneva depends on the number of syringes required. One syringe of hyaluronic acid is billed at 600 CHF. However, for certain specific areas or depending on the type of product used (cross-linking, density, specific indication), the price per syringe may vary between 650 CHF and 900 CHF. The number of syringes needed for a 5-point lift varies according to the facial morphology and the correction goals defined during the consultation. A personalized quote is always provided in order to adapt the protocol to the needs of each patient.
Patient feedback from those who have benefited from the 5 Points Lift is generally very positive. Many appreciate the natural appearance of the result and the overall improvement in skin quality. They describe brighter, firmer skin and a visibly rejuvenated face, while maintaining their natural expression.
Patients particularly value the quickness of the treatment, the absence of pain and the ability to resume their daily activities immediately after the session. Most patients notice an almost immediate “healthy glow” effect, with a rested and younger-looking face. A true boost of radiance.
A 5-point face lift, particularly with the injection of Profhilo, is a quick procedure that lasts about 30 minutes. The results, on the other hand, can last up to 6 to 12 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism and skin maintenance.
The Profhilo 5-point lift consists of injections of highly concentrated hyaluronic acid into five key areas of the face. This technique stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, deeply hydrates the skin and improves firmness. The result is natural.
This treatment is intended for patients who wish to firm the skin, improve elasticity and restore facial hydration while maintaining a natural appearance. It is ideal as soon as the first signs of skin sagging appear, and is suitable for both men and women.
After the session, it is recommended to avoid applying makeup for 24 hours, to moisturize the skin regularly and to protect the face from the sun. Intense sports activities and saunas should also be avoided for a few days to allow the product to integrate.
The 5-point lift can be considered as soon as the first signs of skin sagging appear, generally around 30 to 35 years old. However, the ideal age depends on the quality of the skin and the aesthetic goals of each patient.
The 5-point lift firms the skin, reshapes facial contours, and reduces signs of sagging, especially around the cheeks and jawline. The face appears smoother, plumper, and more radiant, with a natural and harmonious effect.
