How does a 7 Point Facelift work?
Each 7 Point Facelift treatment will begin with a consultation with our Head of Non-Surgical Department, Kerstie. Kerstie will be able to assess if this is the right treatment to achieve your aesthetic goals or can guide you to other options. If you are suitable, you’ll then meet Claudia, 111 Harley St.’s Aesthetic Nurse Prescriber.
She will outline which areas need to be treated by examining the upper facial third – the forehead and temples – before moving to the mid facial third – the nose, cheeks, and tear trough area – and finally finishing with the lower facial third – the jawline, chin and marionette lines that can appear in this region.
When all elements of the face are taken into consideration, this creates a complete rejuvenation, cohesive with all the facial features. For example, when the cheeks are lifted this can alter the appearance of the nose, making it look more uplifted in some cases. So, this consultation process is integral in helping you express what you want to alter, enhance or define. Often when patients say they want to change one element about their appearance, they may fail to see another aesthetic route that can be taken to improve, not only the unliked area, but also your enhance facial balance simultaneously. For example, a patient may say they don’t like their eyebrows, or how their eyebrows have got lower. Aesthetic Nurse Claudia may recommend treating the temples to give a brow-lifting effect and create a new youthfulness across the face when combined with an injectable like Botox®.
By seeing the importance of each facial feature, Aesthetic Nurse Claudia can deliver immediate and lasting results for her patients. Results they simply love and ones that enhance their natural beauty. Alongside administering the latest injectable techniques, her expertise is rooted in evolving her craft and her patient-proclaimed ‘gentleness’, so if you’re nervous about injectables, she is the perfect person to go to.
7 Point Facelift FAQs
The process begins with a friendly consultation with our Head of Non-Surgical Department, Kerstie. During this time they will discuss your reason for treatment, your concern and analyse the desired treatment area to examine if a 7 Point Facelift is the best course of action to take.
On the day of the treatment, your Aesthetic Nurse Prescriber will numb the area. Then cleanse the area, then mark the area – making a grid-like pattern – before administering the product.
Any discomfort will be minimal as many of the Dermal Fillers and HArmonyCa used already contain the numbing ingredient, lidocaine.
The unit will vary depending on the size of the area and the severity of the concern. You may feel a very slight scratch on the entry sites.
Botox can last a few months and depending on the Dermal Filler used, the life of the product can vary. Sometimes this can be from 9, 12 and 24 months.
If HArmonyCa is used, as a hybrid dermal filler, the lifting effects can last between 18 months – 3 years before the filler is completely broken down. It lasts a lot longer than normal fillers as it contains CAHa, which means the regeneration effects that the CaHA produces lasts. We think HArmonyCa is going to be extremely popular in our clinic precisely because of these dual, sustaining effects.
