The aging process of the body is primarily reflected in the condition of the skin of the face and body. One of the most common complaints with which patients turn to aesthetic medicine specialists is drooping facial tissue. It is this problem that significantly ages the patient and worsens his appearance, forcing him to seek help from plastic surgeons and cosmetologists. Fortunately, aesthetic medicine today allows us to solve the problem of ptosis using effective non-surgical techniques.

“8 points lifting” technique
Brazilian plastic surgeon Maurisso de Maio has developed special methods for introducing gels (he calls them “medical codes” - MD-codes™-MeDicalCodes), which allow you to get incredible results from injection contouring, comparable to plastic surgery. This technique has received the highest reviews from patients and their maximum satisfaction with the result, often exceeding their expectations.
Since 2020, our cosmetologists have been using the “8 point lifting” technique in practice. The fundamental difference between this technique and others is that the patient benefits much from holistic treatment of the face at lifting points than when correcting individual zones. As a result, we replenish the volume deficit of the soft tissues of the face, lift the zygomatic zone, fill the infraorbital zone, smooth out the nasolabial folds, form the chin area and a clear oval line of the face. The result is long-lasting, aesthetically harmonious, taking into account individual characteristics. The effect after the “8 point lifting” procedure is comparable to the effect of a surgical lift. These changes allow you not only to correct age-related changes, but also to give your face a fresher and more feminine look, and remove the expression of fatigue and sadness. And what is important - without hyper-correction, with the most natural result and long-term preservation of the effect obtained.
8 main points of face lifting:
- L1 - zygomatic arch - injection of filler into this area affects the bone structures and the lateral part of the infraorbital fat pad;
- L2 - zygomatic eminence - influence on bone structures and the lateral part of the infraorbital fat pad;
- L3 – anteromedial part of the cheek – influence on bone structures, the medial part of the infraorbital fat pad and the deep zygomatic fat pad;
- L4 – nasolabial fold – injection of filler provides subdermal support to the nasolabial fold;
- L5 – labiomarginal fold – the filler provides subdermal support for marionette lines;
- L6 – anterior maxillary groove – effect on bone structures and/or subcutaneous layer;
- L7 – angle of the lower jaw – the filler affects the bone structures and subcutaneous layer;
- L8 – parotid and submalar areas – influence on the subcutaneous layer.
Lukina D.N., cosmetologist: “One of the common reasons for contacting me is ptosis and the desire to remove fatigue from the face. To solve these problems, I often use Mauricio de Mayo’s 8-point lifting method - this is the introduction of fillers in certain volumes and at a certain angle into points on the zygomatic arch, in the projection of the nasolabial fold, nasolacrimal groove, into the corners of the lips, along the edge of the lower jaw. The introduction is carried out using both a needle and a cannula. This has the effect of tightening the skin of the entire face, reducing the severity of nasolabial folds, and the oval of the face becomes clearer.”
Using the correction schemes proposed by Mauricio de Mayo, you can also model the area of the chin, forehead, temples and lips. Safe injection points and appropriate volumes of the drug have been developed for each zone. Thus, the use of Mauricio de Mayo’s medical codes makes it possible to harmonize the face; his technique, together with the features of the Juvederm Vycross line of products used, provide a long-term correction result (1.5-2 years).
Savina I.Yu., cosmetologist: “If a patient only asks to smooth out wrinkles on the forehead and fill in nasolabial folds, then this will not make him look younger and fresher. As a rule, the patient's deepest need is to erase the fatigue from his face. Therefore, I can offer him a completely different concept of achieving a good result. Isn’t this the most important thing in my work - to make a person more harmonious, and therefore happier.”
This technique has only one drawback: due to the cosmetologist using several syringes (from 3 to 5-6), this is a financially intensive procedure, which can stop many patients. However, this problem can also be solved. In order to distribute financial investments in one's own appearance, for each specific patient, depending on his preferences, cosmetologists conduct a series of separate sessions (procedures) in a given period of time.
We invite our patients to evaluate the “8 point lifting” technique - 8 key points on the face that are responsible for external youth and model an attractive facial contour. The procedure is effective for men and women at any age!

Points of youth on the face and neck.
Youth points are biologically active points that trigger the processes of regeneration of skin structures and restoration of skin elasticity. Before starting self-massage and activating the points of youth, we cleanse the skin, use a toner and apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream. We do a light facial massage along the massage lines. Make sure your fingers glide easily over the surface of the skin, using light pressure. The skin should not be subject to tension.
Next, we begin acupressure using the pads of the index fingers. You should not pull the skin; it is enough to press the soft tissues located under the skin to the bones of the skull. We influence the nerve endings and stimulate the tone of the facial muscles, i.e. we give the muscle a certain load. To be sure of the correct identification of the points, you must feel them correctly: the points are located in small depressions on the bones and when pressing on them you should feel a slight pinching pain or warmth, but there should not be any discomfort.
