What is the non-surgical facelift?

The 8-point lift restores volume in eight key areas of the face using dermal fillers to give maximal lift and support. The results are instant with minimal downtime or discomfort. At Minerva Medical Aesthetics we use Juverderm® fillers which contain a local anaesthetic, topical EMLA® cream is also used on the skin prior to the procedure.

The technique can be used in anyone who is starting to notice some skin laxity with:
- Sagging skin
- Jowls along the jawline
- "Tired" appearance under the eyes

The treatment takes between 30-60 minutes with Juvederm® fillers injected into 8 key facial areas - cheeks, tear troughs, nasolabials, mouth corners, jawline, pre-jowl areas, lower cheeks and marionette lines.

Treatment Areas:

> Define cheek bones

> Lifts cheeks

> Softens tear trough

> Reduces nasolabial fold and lifts upper lip

> Lifts corner of the mouth and improves marionette line
> Sharpens and lifts jawline

> Volumises sunken areas

> Reduces Jowls

Results last between 12-18 months, although we recommend that the filler isn't allowed to completely reabsorb before seeking further treatment. The amount of filler needed depends on age but for a full treatment at least 2 syringes of dermal filler are required.
