Lift and rejuvenate your face with the 8 Point Lift at Dr Joney De Souza Clinic in Marylebone, London.
The 8-Point Lift was originally created by the world famous Brazilian Plastic Surgeon Mauricio de Maio. Dr Joney De Souza trained with Dr Maio in this procedure and Dr Joney De Souza Aesthetic Clinic has adopted this treatment to give our clients a proven solution to the loss of facial volume which can make our faces look tired and sagging without the need for surgery.
Before treatment, patients often notice:
Flattened cheeks
Early jowling
Loss of definition
After treatment, results typically include:
Improved facial lift
Better contour and balance
A fresher, more rested appearance
Results should look subtle and natural, not obvious or overfilled.
“I really thought I needed a face lift and had no idea there were alternative treatments out there until I discovered the 8-Point Lift. At least now I know that surgery isn’t the only option!”
There is no single “best age”, but many patients seek an 8 point face lift between their 40s and 50s, when structural volume loss begins to affect facial shape. Younger patients may use the treatment preventatively, while older patients may combine it with other skin tightening or regenerative treatments.
The amount of filler used varies depending on facial structure, age, and treatment goals.
On average:
Most patients require 2 to 4 ml of dermal filler
Some may need more for advanced volume loss
Others may need less for subtle lift and contouring
A thorough facial assessment is essential to determine the appropriate amount and placement for safe, balanced results.
| Treatment | What it does | Downtime | How long results last | Key difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 Point Face Lift | Lifts and supports the face using structural dermal filler placement | Minimal | 9 to 18 months | Focuses on lift and facial support rather than filling lines |
| Traditional Dermal Fillers | Adds volume to specific facial areas | Minimal | 6 to 18 months | Treats individual areas, not overall facial lift |
| Liquid Facelift | Broad non surgical rejuvenation using fillers | Minimal | Varies | Less structured approach than an 8 point lift |
| Surgical Facelift | Surgically tightens skin and deeper tissues | Significant | 5 to 10 years | Invasive with longer recovery |
| Skin Tightening Treatments | Stimulates collagen without adding volume | None to minimal | Gradual | Improves firmness but not facial structure |
| Thread Lift | Lifts tissue using dissolvable threads | Short | 6 to 12 months | Mechanical lift without volume |
The 8-Point Lift is a non-surgical treatment designed to lift the mid-face, restore lost volume and improve overall facial structure. By placing precise amounts of premium dermal filler into eight strategic lifting points, Dr Joney creates subtle elevation, enhanced contours and a refreshed, more youthful appearance. The treatment targets areas that commonly lose support with age, including the cheeks, under-eyes, nasolabial folds and jawline.
Dr Joney and his Associates approach the 8-Point Lift with precision, artistry and a detailed understanding of facial anatomy. Each injection point is chosen to restore balance, strengthen natural support structures and create a harmonious result that complements your features. The technique focuses on structural rejuvenation rather than simply filling isolated lines, ensuring a smooth, lifted and natural-looking outcome.
An 8 point face lift is a non surgical facial rejuvenation treatment that uses dermal fillers placed at eight strategic anatomical points to lift, support, and rebalance the face. Rather than simply filling lines, it focuses on restoring structural support to improve facial contours and achieve a natural lifting effect. The 8-Point Lift restores volume in 8 strategic areas, giving maximal lift and support using a relatively small amount of dermal fillers. The results are instant, with minimal discomfort or downtime.
This 8 Point Lift is ideal in anyone who is starting to notice some skin laxity. The most common things people with skin laxity report include:
As we get older our faces lose volume. The 8 Point Lift is used to target these areas of lost volume using hydrating dermal filler to create a naturally lifted result with little discomfort or downtime.
You will be invited for full medical consultation with the team at Dr Joney De Souza clinic to assess your suitability for this treatment.
The 8 strategic lifting points are a general guideline which Dr Joney De Souza will tailor to your needs. A personalised consultation is necessary to determine the best ‘total look’ for your face. Dr Joney De Souza will then spend approximately 30-50 minutes using a combination of the very best Dermal Fillers and injecting them into key areas across the face. These 8 key areas include:
1. Cheek
2. Tear Trough
3. Nasolabial
4. Mouth corners
5. Pre-jowl area
6. Jawline
7. Lower cheek
Results are instant, Dr Joney or Dr Mattia will work with you showing you the gradual results in a mirror to check the progress. You should expect a natural lifted result and a more youthful fullness to the face.
Results may last over 12 months, however supplemental ‘touch up’ treatments may be required to achieve and maintain the desired look. It is also important to note that each client is different and may break down dermal filler at different rates.
There is very minimal or no downtime. We can apply mineral makeup, and you can often go straight back to work.
Strenuous exercise, going in a spa/sauna or drinking alcohol for the first 24-48 hours should be avoided.
We do not recommend having this treatment within 2 weeks of a special event (in case there is bruising), or within 1 week of an international flight (this can prolong swelling and increase the chance of infection).
An 8 point face lift works by:
Restoring lost mid face support
Improving cheek projection
Softening nasolabial folds
Lifting early jowl heaviness
Enhancing jawline definition
Improving overall facial balance
The goal is to recreate youthful contours by supporting the face from deeper structural points, rather than simply filling lines.
This approach helps deliver natural looking results and avoids the overdone appearance that can occur when filler is placed too superficially.
For patients with early to moderate signs of ageing, an 8 point face lift can be a highly effective non surgical option. It offers visible lifting and contouring with minimal downtime and natural looking results when performed by an experienced practitioner.
An 8 point face lift is often described as a type of liquid facelift, but it follows a more structured and anatomically focused approach. The emphasis is on lifting and support rather than adding volume throughout the face.
An 8 point face lift cannot replace a surgical facelift in cases of significant skin laxity. It is best suited for patients seeking non surgical lifting and rejuvenation with subtle, maintainable results.
Results vary between individuals due to differences in facial structure, ageing patterns, and skin quality. A detailed consultation helps set realistic expectations and treatment goals.
Our patients return to us year after year for natural, balanced results. Every review reflects our commitment to precision, safety and a personalised approach to aesthetic care.
