FASHION HEALTH & BEAUTY A new approach to face lifting F acial fillers have been used for many years to help restore a youthful look. Their great advantage over surgical face lifting is that fillers restore volume in the face which is a key feature in the perception of youthfulness. The latest advance in treatment of facial ageing with fillers "The result is natural, there is very little or no down-time and it is suitable for a wide range of ageing changes." is the eight-point face lift which is the newest treatment available at Orchard Cosmetic in Newport. Dr. Máire Rhatigan uses this new technique which was developed by Dr Mauricio di Maio, a plastic surgeon from Brazil, where Juvederm filler is injected in Orchard Cosmetic Clinic 13 Lugley Street, Newport Tel: 01983 719772 www.orchardcosmetic.co.uk eight distinct areas of the face, resulting in lifting and smoothing of the cheeks, upward turning of the mouth corners and re-definition of the jawline. The eight-point lift moves away from the idea of treating wrinkles directly but addresses the underlying cause of ageing which is facial volume loss and the downward shift of facial fat creating a heavy appearance of the lower face. The eight-point lift with Juvederm fillers has three distinct advantages over surgical face lift; the result is natural, there is very little or no down-time and it is suitable for a wide range of ageing changes. The eight points have been chosen as they are the points on the face which will anchor and bring support to the face. Creating structure and volume in one area of the face will lead to an improvement in another adjacent part. An essential component of the treatment is the use of the excellent "It delivers just what the patient wants, a completely natural looking result." Juvederm range of fillers which are malleable and smooth giving the most natural results. Having used fillers in her practice for 10 years Dr Rhatigan has seen the many advances in their usefulness in treating facial ageing. However the eight-point face lift is by far the most exciting new technique because it delivers just what the patient wants, a completely natural looking result. www.visitilife.com 79
