The liquid face lift is a variation of the MD Codes. It is an aesthetic-oriented medicine technique whose result is immediate. Hyaluronic acid injections are performed at strategic points to lift the face without adding volume. Botulinum toxin injections also have their place, as they are used to obtain the opening of the gaze.
The opening of the gaze is not in itself an indication for botulinum toxin ; however, the treatment of dynamic wrinkles of the crow’s feet and the glabella — which are recognized indications — often induces a subtle lifting effect of the eyebrow, providing a natural impression of a more open gaze.
Facial sagging typically begins around the age of 30 and gradually worsens over time.
As the fat descends and volumes diminish, the first wrinkles appear, giving the face a tired and sad look.
The main causes of facial sagging include :
This treatment is advised in the following situations :
However, certain cases still fall under surgical indications : severe skin sagging or significant volume loss may require surgical intervention instead of non-surgical options.
The aging of the face is not limited to the appearance of wrinkles. It is accompanied by a loss of volume, a sagging of tissues and a modification of the deep anatomical structures. Fat pads migrate downward, contours become less defined, cheekbones flatten, temples hollow and features appear tired, even at rest. The liquid face lift technique makes it possible to act on the cause by targeting the anchoring zones and the structural pillars of the face, rather than simply filling the hollow areas.
Hyaluronic acid, when injected strategically into these key points, helps reposition the tissues, recenter volumes and restore the face’s natural projection. This approach indirectly corrects hollow areas, folds and creases, without treating them directly at first. It respects natural lines, facial dynamics and the balance between the different areas.
If hyaluronic acid is known for its volumizing effect, it also allows tissue repositioning when injected in the correct anatomical planes. By targeting the deep anchoring zones, hyaluronic acid exerts a supportive function, restoring natural tension to sagging tissues.
This approach, sometimes referred to as “medical lifting”, relies on a refined understanding of gravity and the face’s natural traction vectors. It respects the lines of force and expressions.
The liquid face lift is never a standard protocol, but a personalized strategy. Each face has its own contours, proportions, elasticity, skin density and muscular dynamics. The treatment plan is defined during the consultation, after a morphological analysis of the face, from the front and in profile, at rest and in motion.
Depending on the degree of aging observed, the thickness of the tissues and the desired objectives, the amount of hyaluronic acid, the type of product and the injection areas are precisely adapted.
Some faces require only light restoration, while others, more altered, benefit from more structural repositioning. The technique can be performed in a single session or in a sequenced manner, according to a progressive logic allowing a more natural result.
This treatment is often combined with two complementary techniques : Sculptra injections (this product densifies the skin and the subcutaneous fat) and the fractional ablative laser (this technique thickens the skin).

The 8 Points Face Lift is a facial lifting technique that does not add volume ; it is achieved through injections of a very firm hyaluronic acid.
The technique developed by Dr Mauricio Di Maio consists of injecting hyaluronic acid into eight key areas of the face, corresponding to deep anatomical support points. These eight points are mainly located in the middle and lateral thirds of the face, as this area supports the rest of the facial structures. It plays a central role in the perception of youth, light and symmetry.
The principle is to treat the causes of laxity :
The key areas treated include :
There is no specific age to begin the treatment, the quantity of product used depends on the patient’s anatomy. Often, the indication arises a little before the age of thirty.
The result is immediate and lasts about one year.
In most cases, one session is sufficient. Sometimes, when the number of syringes needed is significant, two sessions one month apart will be performed. The number of syringes to be used depends on the patient’s anatomy and varies between one and six.
The major benefit of this method is its ability to preserve the identity of the face while improving its overall appearance, structure and vitality.
After-effects are minimal, small bruises may occur and are temporary.
The patient resumes activities immediately after the session.
In the context of a medical lifting in Geneva, prices vary depending on the products used and the areas to be treated. The price of one syringe of hyaluronic acid is 600 CHF. Botulinum toxin injections are offered from 300 CHF for one zone in women (450 CHF for two zones, 600 CHF for three zones) and 350 CHF in men (500 CHF for two zones, 650 CHF for three zones).
Sculptra treatment is charged 900 CHF per vial, and one to two vials injected two months apart are often indicated.
A laser session is offered at the price of 900 CHF, and one to two sessions may be necessary. These procedures are often combined as part of a personalized treatment plan. A precise quote is always provided during the initial consultation, based on the needs and aesthetic goals of each patient.
The 8-point lift is an advanced hyaluronic acid injection technique aimed at restoring the volumes and harmony of the face. Eight strategic areas are targeted (cheekbones, nasolabial folds, mandibular contours, temples, etc.) for an overall lifting effect, while respecting the natural structure of the face.
The 8-point lift offers natural and harmonious results without surgery. It makes it possible to treat several areas in a single session, providing an overall rejuvenation of the face. This technique is less invasive, with minimal after-effects and immediate, yet progressive, results.
High-quality hyaluronic acids with varying densities are used depending on the area being treated. The products are chosen for their ability to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and deeply hydrate the skin, ensuring a natural and long-lasting result.
The 8-point lift offers a visibly rejuvenated face, restored volumes and more defined contours. The features are firmer, wrinkles are softened and the complexion regains its radiance. The result remains subtle, respecting the harmony of the face, with a natural effect.
The results are visible immediately after the session, but the optimal effect appears after a few days, once the hyaluronic acid is well integrated. The results generally last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the metabolism and the products used.
