Nowadays, more and more people are in for a shot of botox, a filler, or minor cosmetic surgery. Ludy Holst, cosmetic doctor and owner at Van Lennep Clinic, discusses the latest filler technique: 7-Point Lift.
You want to improve after such a mini makeover, but the result should stay as close to you as possible. However, you can pick some celebs out like that on TV, with the result no longer being so true to nature. This is sometimes due to the amount of filler that has been injected into one specific area of the face, for example the cheeks, or the fact that other areas of the face have forgotten to include in the treatment. This can create a strange image. It is a fine line. Fillers should not 'bulge' the face, but rather lift and make the skin look tighter. Fortunately, there are also cosmetic doctors who can subtly ensure the right balance. At Van Lennep Kliniek, we therefore work according to the MD codes, so that we do not cross the border, but do bring volume, lift and contour back to the face.
The MD Codes injection technique was designed by Dr. Mauricio de Maio, a Brazilian plastic surgeon. Here, the face is divided into 12 zones.
Precise injection points have been defined for each zone: the MD codes. By treating in this way, you get a visible and natural result, both at rest and dynamically, such as when laughing.
This is because the treatment focuses on restoring the overall balance of the face, rather than injecting one or two specific problem points.
As we get older, we naturally lose our “baby fat” first and then our V-shape changes in the face. This has various causes. Our fat compartments are shrinking and gravity causes muscle, fat and connective tissue to sag, but the skeleton also changes shape due to bone resorption. Together with the fact that our collagen production starts to decline from the age of 25, this means that our skin also becomes weaker. Around the age of 40, a little more than just botox is often needed.
The 7-Point Shape for women or the 9-Point Shape for men is the most innovative filler treatment. While relatively younger clients want to give their contour more definition, older clients want to reduce sagging, facial sagging and deeper lines. The 7-Point Shape is sometimes also referred to as a non-surgical facelift, because a treatment provides a similar lifting and rejuvenating result. Only without the high costs, no downtime and no risks associated with surgery. At Van Lennep Kliniek, we use Juvéderm's highest quality hyaluronic acid fillers for this treatment. The most used worldwide, safe and with sustainable results.
