What Is It?
The 5 Point Facelift, is a sophisticated, non surgical treatment designed to lift, firm, and rejuvenate the entire face using advanced Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers. This technique focuses on restoring the foundational structure of the face, counteracting the effects of gravity and volume loss associated with aging.
Anatomy of the Treatment
The 5-Point Facelift utilizes high-quality, specialized HA dermal fillers to address key anatomical points responsible for facial sagging and volume depletion. The strategic placement is crucial for achieving a natural, lifted outcome.
1: Placement and Technique​
The treatment involves
precisely placing small
amounts of filler at
five strategic, bilateral injection
points on each side of the face
(a total of 10 points). These
points are chosen because
they are structurally significant
and anatomically safer
(avoiding major vessels):​
2: Results and Mechanism
This technique achieves a comprehensive yet natural rejuvenation by focusing on the underlying causes of facial aging:
​
Global Lift and Firmness: A noticeable, non-surgical lift of the mid-face, reduction in jowl appearance, and a more defined jawline.
​
Why: By strategically placing filler at points of ligamentous attachment and bony support, the treatment provides an "anchor" that lifts and supports the overlying soft tissues. This counteracts the downward pull of gravity and restores the facial triangle of youth (where the widest point is the cheek area).
​
Improved Skin Quality: In addition to the structural lift, the HA attracts water, significantly improving skin hydration and radiance over several weeks.
Why: HA is a potent humectant, and its presence in the skin layers triggers a cascade of collagen and elastin production, leading to better overall skin texture and elasticity.
Essential Treatment Information
PRE-TREATMENT ADVICE (7 DAYS PRIOR)
To minimize the risk of bruising and optimize results, clients are advised to:
​
-
Avoid Blood Thinners: Stop taking non-essential blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen (NSAIDs), fish oils, Vitamin E, St. John’s Wort, and Ginkgo Biloba, following consultation with their primary care physician.
-
​Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages for at least 48 hours before the appointment.
-
​Treat Active Skin Conditions: Ensure there are no active cold sores, infections, or open wounds in the treatment area.
AFTERCARE (24-48 HOURS POST-TREATMENT)
Following the procedure, diligent aftercare is essential for optimal healing:
​
-
Avoid Touching/Pressure: Do not touch, rub, or apply pressure to the treated area for at least 6 hours.
-
​Avoid Extreme Heat: Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms for 24-48 hours.

​Avoid Make-up: Refrain from applying make-up for at least 24 hours.
-
Sleep: Try to sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first night.
Possible Side Effects
Common (Lasting 1-7 days): ​
Redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising at the injection sites. These typically resolve quickly.​
​
Rare:
Lumps/bumps (which can often be massaged or dissolve naturally), allergic reactions, or, very rarely, vascular occlusion (which requires immediate medical attention).
Longevity of Results
The results of a 5-Point Facelift utilizing HA dermal fillers are typically highly durable, lasting between 9 to 18 months, depending on the specific product used, the client's metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired lifting and rejuvenation effects.
