What is a 5-Point Facelift?

Published in Cosmetic Procedure 2 mins read

A 5-point facelift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a dermal filler to rejuvenate the face. It is not a traditional surgical facelift.

Understanding the 5-Point Mini Facelift

The "5-point" refers to the specific injection points used during the procedure. Here's a breakdown:

  • Dermal Filler: The procedure uses a new generation dermal filler called Profhilo®.
  • Injection Points: Five injection points are strategically made on each side of the face. These points are chosen to maximize the lifting and rejuvenating effects.
  • Needles: Ultra-fine needles are used to minimize discomfort and bruising.
  • Depth: The filler is injected into the superficial layer of the skin.
  • Areas Treated: While primarily used for the face, this treatment is also suitable for other areas, including:
    • Neck
    • Décolletage (chest)
    • Hands

How it Works

The Profhilo® filler works by:

  • Hydrating the skin: It attracts and holds water, improving skin hydration.
  • Stimulating collagen and elastin: It encourages the production of these essential skin proteins, which improve skin firmness and elasticity.
  • Providing a subtle lift: The strategic placement of the filler at five key points results in a visible, yet natural-looking lift.

Key Benefits

  • Minimally Invasive: No surgery is required, reducing downtime and risks.
  • Natural-Looking Results: The treatment enhances rather than drastically altering features.
  • Improved Skin Quality: The treatment not only lifts but also improves skin hydration, texture, and elasticity.
  • Versatile: It can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
  • Quick Procedure: The treatment is relatively quick, typically taking less than an hour.

In Summary

The 5-point facelift is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment involving five strategically placed injections of Profhilo® filler to lift and hydrate the skin, improving its overall appearance and quality.
