Who is the 7-point facelift suitable for?
The 7-point facelift with hyaluronic acid may be particularly suitable for those who wish to treat certain signs of ageing in the facial area. In cases like these, this treatment can be considered:
Mild to moderate volume loss. The 7-point facelift with hyaluronic acid is particularly effective when there is mild to moderate volume loss in the facial area. This can manifest as sunken cheeks, nasolabial folds (lines between the nose and mouth) and other signs of volume loss.
Facial sagging and sagging of the skin. People who experience mild to moderate facial sagging or skin drooping may benefit from targeted hyaluronic acid injections to achieve a natural lift and tightening.
Desire for non-surgical rejuvenation. The 7-point facelift with hyaluronic acid is suitable for patients seeking a non-surgical alternative to facial rejuvenation. Compared to traditional surgical facelift procedures, this method is minimally invasive and does not require a long recovery period.
Accentuated facial features. Patients with accentuated facial features that have been compromised by volume loss or signs of aging can experience an enhancement of their natural contours by emphasizing the seven defined points on the face.
Individual needs and skin conditions may vary. Before deciding on the 7-point facelift with hyaluronic acid, a preliminary consultation is necessary in which we assess the skin condition, discuss personal expectations and determine whether this specific method is a suitable option or whether alternative treatments should be considered.
The 7-point facelift explained
Here are the basic steps and principles of how the 7-point facelift with hyaluronic acid works:
Preliminary consultation and examination. The treatment begins with a preliminary consultation between the patient and the treating doctor. The patient's individual wishes and expectations are discussed and the doctor creates a treatment plan that is tailored to the specific signs of ageing and the desired results.
Identification of the seven points. The 7-point facelift focuses on seven strategic points on the face to add volume, emphasize contours and achieve a natural lift. These points typically include cheeks, nasolabial folds, corners of the mouth, jawline and other key areas.
Precise injection of hyaluronic acid. We use a fine needle to precisely inject hyaluronic acid at the predetermined points. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body that binds water, resulting in volume and skin hydration.
Emphasizing the natural contours. The injections are designed to emphasize the natural contours of the face and restore volume where it has been lost over time. This helps to improve the appearance of sagging and wrinkles.
Gentle lifting and tightening. Through the precise placement of hyaluronic acid, a gentle lift and tightening is achieved, creating a more natural and youthful appearance.
Immediate results with minimal downtime. The results of the 7-point facelift with hyaluronic acid are usually visible immediately and the downtime is minimal compared to surgical procedures. Patients can usually return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Refresher and maintenance. Depending on individual needs, a series of treatments may be necessary to achieve and maintain the desired results.
Advantages of the 7-point facelift
The 7-point facelift with hyaluronic acid offers benefits for patients looking for a non-surgical method of facial rejuvenation.
Natural lifting and tightening. The 7-point facelift aims to lift and tighten the face naturally. Through the targeted placement of hyaluronic acid at seven strategic points, a subtle but effective improvement in the shape of the face can be achieved.
Volume restoration. Hyaluronic acid injections help to treat volume loss in the face, particularly in the cheeks and other areas that have lost fullness over time.
Accentuated contours and definition. The 7-point facelift emphasizes the natural contours of the face, resulting in improved definition. This can help the face appear more youthful and vital.
Minimal downtime. Compared to surgical facelifts, the 7-point facelift is minimally invasive and usually requires minimal downtime. Most people can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
Immediate results. The results of the 7-point facelift are usually visible immediately. This allows patients to quickly see positive changes in their appearance.
Customizable treatment. The 7-point facelift is customizable, and the treatment plan can be tailored to the patient's individual needs and goals. This allows for a personalized approach to facial rejuvenation.
Minimally invasive nature. Because the 7-point facelift is minimally invasive and based on injections, there are fewer risks and side effects compared to surgical procedures.
Repeatable treatments. Depending on the patient's individual needs, the 7-point facelift can be performed in a series of treatments to maintain the desired results.
Possible risks and side effects of the 7-point facelift treatment
Although the 7-point facelift with hyaluronic acid is generally considered safe, risks and side effects can occur as with any medical procedure.
Redness, swelling and bruising: After the injection, temporary redness, swelling or bruising may occur at the injection sites. This is usually mild and disappears within a few days.
Sensitivity and pain. Some patients may experience slight tenderness or pain in the treated area after treatment. This is usually temporary and will subside on its own.
Asymmetry or irregularities. There is a risk that the injections may cause asymmetry or irregularities in the skin. This may be due to improper injection technique or uneven distribution of the hyaluronic acid.
Infections. Although infections are rare, there is a risk of infection with every injection. Careful sterile technique by the doctor minimizes this risk.
Allergic reactions. Although hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body, some people may have allergic reactions to certain products or additives in the injections. However, this is rare.
Nodule formation or hardening. In some cases, nodules or hardening may occur at the injection sites. This can be caused by the accumulation of hyaluronic acid or a local tissue reaction.
In general, these risks are usually low and most side effects are temporary. However, if unusual symptoms occur after treatment, it is advisable to consult a doctor immediately.
