2. Facial enhancement and rejuvenation have moved beyond wrinkle effacement
and surgical facelifts - to an approach that volumizes and structures.
This comprehensive, multimodal approach permits clinicians to develop aesthetic
treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs and designed to produce a
natural look.1
The 8-point lift is a new approach, utilizing the new VYCROSSTM
collection of hyaluronic
acid (HA) dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation and shaping. The procedure, developed
by Dr Mauricio de Maio, is delivered in 8 distinct treatment areas to achieve the most
natural result and maintain each patient’s unique facial expressions.2,3
Treatment is individualized to each patient using the Juvéderm®
family of HA fillers –
including Juvéderm®
VOLBELLA®
with Lidocaine, Juvéderm®
VOLIFT®
with Lidocaine and
Juvéderm®
VOLUMA®
with Lidocaine.
The procedure recommends a sequence of injection and specific sites that should be
adapted based on each patient’s profile to achieve the optimal outcome. This booklet aims
to provide clinicians with the information needed to carry out the 8-point lift with confidence.

Recognition of volume loss in facial ageing is the basis
for facial rejuvenation, influencing the types and
extent of surgical procedures, as well as the way in which
minimally invasive approaches are employed.1
