complex around the eye area, without being invasive. The ageing of facial features includes sagging cheeks and jowl, and buccolabial folds. These materials and techniques therefore provide volume expansion within the dermis, and the smoothing out of overlying facial wrinkles and enhancement of facial contours1
.
Soft Lift concept The modern soft lift is a combination of restoring lost volume and rehydration of the ageing skin, as well as relaxing hyperactive muscle areas with a neurotoxin — without being surgically invasive. Current surgical procedures for facial rejuvenation have undergone a significant change owing to the introduction of minimally-invasive technologies to diminish the age-associated changes of the face2
. Using the soft lift
technique, it is possible to combat components like volume loss and the influence of gravity in the face. Combined with the technology of Pix’l microcannulae, the physician is able to inject NAshA gel with a greater amount of precision. These cannulae have been tried, tested and proven to give convincing results with low levels of pain and tissue trauma3
, especially in the orbital
region, which is a delicate area comprising thin skin and a venous complex that can easily bruise. indeed, treating the sensitive eye area has been a challenge for many years, and many alternative solutions have been tried. The Pix’l+ microcannulae have been specifically developed for this indication and the delicate region1 in matters of gender and age, the soft lift has a broad

range of application. The male cosmetic population has been more timid with regard to facial rejuvenation. Men also have aesthetic needs, but the areas of treatment are different from that of women and require a different amount of injectable filler for each problem5
. in the same
way, it is possible to treat women to restore volume and, when sculpting facial contours, these procedures are perfect for male patients also. The soft lift is likewise applicable for both male and female patients. With regard to age, dermal fillers for the under-eye area can be used as a tool to sculpt a young woman aged 18 years, as well as a 75-year-old woman. There is no upper age limit when using injectable fillers. if it is not affected by medical reasons or poor skin quality, the hA treatments can provide an unlimited effect. Patient selection also plays an important role in
success; choosing patients who will truly benefit and have reasonable expectations are usually satisfied with minimally-invasive treatments6
. Treating the patient on
different facial areas with the Pix’l cannula can provide an instant and evenly spread result with minimal recovery time and fewer side-effects (e.g. bruising and post-treatment swelling). in this way, the soft lift is a much more comfortable experience for the patient.
Methods in this study, the authors included five healthy women (using six different treatments) with or without prior use of hyaluronic acid and neurotoxin products. The patients were well informed about the procedure, its positive
