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.
