Treatment Overview
Facial volume loss contributes significantly to facial ageing, typically occurring in the cheek region, temples, around the eyes and jaw areas, resulting in dark shadows that give the face a tired and drawn appearance.
Dr Nishi Dhuna has been trained by Allergan’s Medical Institute and is able to carry out the 8 point non-surgical facelift. The 8-point lift was originally devised by Dr Mauricio De Maio, a plastic surgeon from Brazil. Small adjustments are made in eight areas of the face to achieve an overall lifting effect, with the ethos being to treat minimally and precisely, looking beyond individual zones of concern to the definitive causes of the signs of ageing.
The technique utilises the Juvéderm Vycross collection of non-permanent HA dermal fillers. These hyaluronic acid dermal fillers each work in specific ways to add volume and give structure to the face. For more information on non-surgical facelift Ascot, contact us.

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
All treatments carry a degree of risk. All risks and complications will be discussed with you at consultation and prior to any treatment being agreed.
Your dermal fillers will be administered by a healthcare professional with specialist training. Adverse events are uncommon, usually occur within a few days of treatment and are expected to be temporary, usually resolving spontaneously within weeks.
Your practitioner will provide aftercare advice designed to minimise risk and promote speedy recovery from any expected side effects.
Bruising and swelling may be more apparent the next day and can take up to 14 days to disappear. Tenderness should settle within 48 hours.
