8 Point Face Lift (The Liquid Face Lift)
8 Point Face Lift
What does the procedure involve ?
The 8 Point Facelift is a specialised volumizing and lifting facial treatment sometimes referred to as a ‘liquid facelift’, and is a procedure that works by targeting key areas of the mid-facial region to lift, contour and revitalise the whole mid-face and lower face.
It is an advanced specialised technique that uses advanced dermal filler techniques to help restore facial volume in strategic areas, giving maximal lift and support.
Which areas of the face are treated with the 8-Point Facelift?
- Cheek structure, volume and definition.
- Tear troughs, which can create a tired appearance.
- Nose to mouth contours.
- Downward smile, sad face.
- Looseness in the jowl area.
- Lack of definition to jawline.
Who is a good candidate for the 8 Point Face Lift ?
Would you like a more youthful, yet naturally lifted look? Not ready to have a traditional face lift ?
An 8 Point Face lift may be the answer.
The best candidate is a client who needs to replace volume that has depleted from their face due to the ageing process.
If you are over the age of 35 and are showing first signs of ageing and skin laxity it is almost certain that you would see a benefit.
If there is more severe laxity, then a good result is still achievable, but more filler material and a different technique may be required for best results.
People who are most likely to benefit from the 8 Point Face Lift are those looking to:
- Reduce lines and wrinkles.
- Define the contours of your face, such as chin or cheek.
What type of Products are used in the 8 Point Facelift ?
A mix of medium and maximum thickness dermal fillers are used to produce excellent soft, natural and long lasting results. These products contain Hyaluronic Acid, which is a molecule found naturally in the skin which holds in water, allowing for the intended result of providing structure and volume.
How long does the 8 Point Facelift last for ?
Each client is different in both their facial structure and the rate that Hyaluronic Acid is broken down within the body, the duration of the results may vary. However, results can be expected to last up to 12-18 months.
How fast will I see results ?
As the 8-point facelift uses facial filler injections, the effects are immediate. Clients are always surprised just how much difference a few tiny injections can make.
You will be able to see the results immediately although you should wait until all swelling has subsided before making a final judgement. This means the final results can be seen in 1-2 weeks following treatment.

- Little or no downtime
- Results are natural and subtle
- Less costly than a surgical face lift
- Specific problem areas can be targeted

- It’s safer

Will the effects of an 8 Point Facelift look natural ?
By restoring the volume in these specific eight anchor points simultaneously, your face will get a balanced lift. The outcome of this procedure is very natural, and results can be seen immediately.
Our 8-point face lift will help to give your skin a natural look, without looking fake or overdone. This procedure helps to enhance the overall structure of the face, which is what creates the natural lifting dynamics.
How long does an 8 Point Face Lift Treatment take ?
The entire process normally takes around 45 mins to an hour.
Is Treatment Painful ?
Any discomfort is minimal. The new generation of dermal fillers contain numbing properties which makes the procedure almost painless.
What happens prior to an 8 Point Facelift treatment ?
You will first have a consultation to gain an appreciation of you concerns and expectations. At this point you will have the opportunity to ask questions, and your Aesthetic Practitioner will objectively grade the upper, mid and lower face in terms of structure, proportion and symmetry to prescribe a facial treatment plan, specific to you, improving your face as whole. After a treatment plan has been agreed, and only once you are happy to proceed, you will be asked to read, understand and sign a consent form before the treatment can begin
What happens during an 8 Point Facelift treatment ?
First, any make-up will be removed, and the area cleaned with antiseptic. Then using a fine, sterile needle, your Aesthetic Practitioner will inject filler into the key areas of the face that the 8 Point Face Lift targets.
What happens after the 8 Point Facelift treatment ?
The results of the 8 Point Face Lift are visible immediately and most people feel confident enough to return to work straight away. There may be some mild swelling, bruising or redness but such side effects are temporary and should resolve within a few days. Once the swelling has subsided the final results of the 8 point face lift will take effect over the following 2 weeks.
