7/9 POINTS SHAPE TECHNIQUE: FACIAL REJUVENATION IN GENEVA

What is 7/9 shape?

The 7/9 Point Shape ® technique is a variation of the MD Codes® used to beautify, 'sculpt', feminise or masculinise the face.
This involves a combination of 7 injection points for women and 9 points for men to reshape the face by lifting sagging tissues, defining the oval, reshaping and projecting the facial features.

Facial contouring: a tailor-made treatment

The 7/9 Point Shape ® is a revolutionary technique that can be performed at any age. Younger patients want to reshape the face, make it more feminine or masculine, and achieve sharper contours. Older patients want to treat age-related sagging and redefine contours and volumes.

The 7/9 Point Shape ® for mature women

The aim of the treatment is to :

  • To lift tissues that have become slack with age, certain points of the 7/9 Point Shape ® technique are common to the 8 Face Lift® points.
  • Improving the oval.
  • Restore lost volume, particularly around the cheekbone, the key feature of the female face.

There are seven injection points for women:

  • CK1 and CK4 stitches are performed on the cheekbone and upper cheek to lift the tissues and restore lost volume.
  • The Jw1 point is placed at the angle of the mandible to replace age-related bone loss.
  • Points Jw4 and Jw5 are used to define the oval of the face by treating the fat and bone loss that inevitably occurs with age.
  • Points C1 and C2 are used to support the corners of the mouth and soften the chin.

Facial contouring: reshaping your face in one go

The practitioner must be trained in this technique. Despite the schematisation and reproducibility of the injection protocol, personal know-how, an artist's eye and technical mastery make all the difference between doctors.
This reshaping of the face is inspired by contouring: a make-up technique that creates a play of lights and shadows to highlight certain elements and erase others.
Injections of hyaluronic acid are performed with a needle or cannula, the injection depths, products and quantities used are to be adapted to the morphology of each face in order to bring out its natural beauty.
The points injected are 7 in women and 9 in men, these two extra points are added to virilise the chin.
The areas treated are:

  • Cheekbones (CK1, CK4).
  • The mandibular angle (JW1, JW 4, JW 5 plus JW2 in men).
  • The chin (C1, C2 plus C5 in men).

Results and aftercare

The result is immediate but improves within two weeks. After-effects are minimal, and haematomas are rare and small. The injection session lasts about thirty minutes. Sometimes a second session is required after three weeks.
The results last for one year.
