MEDICAL FACELIFT : 5 POINTS LIFT

What is the "5 Points Lift" ?

The 5 Points Lift, also known as injection lifting, is a non-invasive facial rejuvenation technique. The product used, Profhilo, is a bio-remodeling agent that stimulates the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin. This treatment is unique because it does not add volume or fill hollow areas. Instead, it acts as a powerful stimulator of skin regeneration.
Profhilo is a stabilized hyaluronic acid that, once injected, spreads evenly within the tissues, improving skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. The specificity of this method lies in targeting five strategic injection points on each side of the face, creating a global and harmonious lifting effect.

What is facial skin sagging ?

Skin aging is a natural process that affects everyone over time. From the age of 25 to 30, the skin gradually loses elasticity and firmness. The collagen and elastin fibers, which provide structural support and skin tone, deteriorate with age. At the same time, natural hyaluronic acid production decreases, leading to loss of hydration and volume. This deterioration is exacerbated by external factors, including:
• Exposure to UV rays and free radicals.
• Pollution.
• Smoking.
• Poor diet and lack of hydration.
• Oxidative stress due to modern lifestyle habits.
As a result, wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging skin appear, particularly in key areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck. This growing concern has led to an increased demand for non-invasive treatments to combat skin laxity, resulting in the development of innovative solutions such as the 5 Points Lift with Profhilo or the 8-Point Medical Lift.

What causes skin laxity ?

Several factors contribute to skin sagging and visible signs of aging :
• Biological aging : the progressive loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid makes the skin thinner and less resilient. Additionally, fat and bone resorption further exacerbates the process.
• Sun exposure : UV rays accelerate collagen breakdown, leading to wrinkles and premature aging.
• Chronic stress : persistent stress increases cortisol levels, accelerating cellular aging.
• Lifestyle habits : smoking, alcohol consumption, poor diet, lack of exercise, insufficient hydration.
Over time, these factors worsen, making non-invasive lifting solutions particularly appealing for treating signs of aging without surgery.

Indications for 5 Points Lift

The 5 Points Lift is ideal for patients looking to enhance their facial appearance naturally, without undergoing surgery. The main indications include :
• Mild skin sagging : suitable for individuals noticing a loss of firmness in the cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, and neck.
• Early signs of skin aging : addresses fine lines, dull skin, dehydration, and reduced elasticity.
• Anti-aging prevention : ideal for patients who want to preserve their skin’s youthfulness and slow down the aging process.
• Tired-looking face : revitalizes and restores radiance to devitalized skin.
This treatment is particularly suitable for patients aged 30 to 60, looking to improve skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness while achieving a lifting effect without surgery.

How the session takes place

The procedure is quick and nearly painless.
Before any injection, an initial consultation is essential to evaluate the patient’s specific needs and determine whether the 5 Points Lift is appropriate. This step also helps define expectations and goals in terms of results.
The face is carefully disinfected, and an anesthetic cream may be applied for patient comfort. However, Dr. Romano does not use anesthetic cream to avoid skin irritation.
The doctor performs injections using a fine needle or cannula at five strategic points on each side of the face. These points are selected based on the patient’s anatomy, as they play a crucial role in achieving an overall lifting effect. Once injected, the hyaluronic acid integrates evenly into the deeper skin layers, ensuring natural and long-lasting results.

Pre-Treatment guidelines for the 5 Points Lift

To optimize results and minimize side effects, certain precautions should be taken.
• Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin in the days leading up to the session to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising.
• Refrain from alcohol consumption the day before and on the day of the session, as alcohol increases the risk of bruising.

Post-treatment guidelines for the 5 Points Lift

• Do not massage the treated areas to prevent product displacement.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, extreme cold, and intense physical activity for 48 hours.
• Do not apply makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours.
• Follow any additional instructions provided by your doctor for optimal recovery.

When to treat ? Frequency of sessions

The effects of the 5 Points Lift become visible within 2 to 3 weeks. For optimal results, it is recommended to undergo two sessions, spaced one month apart. Afterward, maintenance sessions are advised every 6 to 12 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism and desired outcomes.

Possible side effects

As with any aesthetic procedure, the risks are minimal, but it is important to be aware of potential side effects.
• Redness and mild swelling at the injection sites.
• A warm sensation or tingling in the treated areas.
• Small bruises that fade within a few days.
These effects are temporary and generally disappear within 48 hours. The 5 Points Lift is a safe procedure, provided it is performed by an experienced physician, and it has a high satisfaction rate among patients.

Expected results : what to anticipate after the 5 points lift ?

The 5 Points Lift delivers visible and long-lasting results. Patients report an improvement in skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration. The face appears smoother, younger, and more toned, offering a natural lifting effect without altering facial volume. The results look natural, avoiding the "frozen" or artificial appearance, making it an ideal option for those seeking a subtle and discreet rejuvenation.
The effects are progressive, becoming more pronounced over the following weeks as the hyaluronic acid integrates into the tissues and stimulates collagen and elastin production.
Results last between 6 to 12 months, depending on skin type, metabolism, and lifestyle habits.

Combien de temps dure un lifting du visage en 5 points ?

Un lifting du visage en 5 points, notamment avec la technique Profhilo, est une procédure rapide qui dure environ 30 minutes. Les résultats, quant à eux, peuvent durer jusqu’à 6 à 12 mois, en fonction du métabolisme et de l’entretien de la peau.

Le lifting Profhilo en 5 points consiste en des injections d’acide hyaluronique hautement concentré sur cinq zones clés du visage. Cette technique stimule la production de collagène et d’élastine, hydrate la peau en profondeur et améliore la fermeté. Le résultat est naturel.

Ce traitement s’adresse aux patients souhaitant raffermir la peau, améliorer l’élasticité et restaurer l’hydratation du visage, tout en conservant un aspect naturel. Il est idéal dès les premiers signes de relâchement cutané, et convient aussi bien aux hommes qu’aux femmes.

Après la séance, il est conseillé d’éviter l’application de maquillage pendant 24 heures, d’hydrater la peau régulièrement et de protéger le visage contre le soleil. Évitez également les activités sportives intenses et les saunas pendant quelques jours afin de permettre au produit de s’intégrer.

Le lifting en 5 points peut être envisagé dès l’apparition des premiers signes de relâchement cutané, généralement autour de 30 à 35 ans. Cependant, l’âge idéal dépend de la qualité de la peau et des objectifs esthétiques de chaque patient.

Le lifting à 5 points raffermit la peau, redessine les contours du visage et atténue les signes de relâchement, notamment au niveau des joues et de l’ovale. Le visage paraît plus lisse, repulpé et éclatant, avec un effet naturel et harmonieux.
