Does a New Generation Gel Treatment Lift the Face?

A recent groundbreaking innovation in aesthetic dermatology promises not only to eliminate wrinkles but also to rebuild the facial structural support: injectable gel applications targeting deep connective tissue. This technique not only rejuvenates the face but also restores the architectural support lost with aging. So, does this method truly "lift" the face? What does clinical data say?

Which Areas Does the Gel Target and How Is It Applied?
Unlike traditional filler applications, this new-generation gel is injected not just under the skin but directly into the ligaments and fascia. Specifically, it targets areas such as:

The periosteum (bone membrane) in the orbital thickening area

The zygomatic (cheekbone) cutaneous ligament

The mandibular cutaneous ligament

The injections are administered at a depth of 3–5 mm, adjusted according to the individual's subcutaneous thickness. Moreover, it is applied not only to areas above the bone but also to areas supporting the face, such as the Lore's fascia, platysma-auricular fascia, and masseteric ligament.

How Were the Effects of the Application Evaluated?

The effectiveness of this innovative gel was comprehensively evaluated using both subjective and objective methods:

1. Subjective Assessment – GAIS Scale
Using the GAIS (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale), patients and researchers rated changes in skin appearance at 1, 2, and 3 months after application. The results were striking:

A slight improvement was observed in the first month,

Satisfaction scores rose rapidly in the second and third months,

By the end of the third month, both patient and physician satisfaction averaged over 4.5.

This level of satisfaction demonstrates a significant transformation not only on the skin's surface but also in the deeper tissues.

2. Objective Assessment – Wrinkle Analysis
The depth and length of wrinkles were measured using a 3D photosystem and software-assisted analysis. Wrinkle status, which was 1.37 points at baseline, increased to 3.2 after the first session, 3.54 after the second session, and 5.57 after the third session.

A small decrease of 5.25 points during the follow-up month indicated that effectiveness was largely maintained, but maintenance sessions may be required. These results were statistically significant (p < 0.01).

3. Objective Assessment – Lifting Effect
Perhaps the most striking measurement: traction vector length. Comparing the baseline and 3-month values, an average lifting effect of 1.6 mm was detected. This is considered a valuable gain in aesthetic procedures. Not only the skin's appearance but also the physical position of the deeper structures has changed.

How Safe is the Treatment?
All study patients completed the treatment. Only mild and temporary swelling was observed at the injection sites. While the high-viscosity formula requires a thicker needle, this did not negatively impact patient comfort. No clinically significant side effects were reported.

These findings demonstrate that the injection depth and the material used can be applied safely. Furthermore, using injection techniques based on anatomical knowledge is one of the most important factors that reduces the risk of complications.

So, What Are the Advantages of This Method?
Deep Intervention in Facial Architecture: It provides a natural lifting effect by supporting the subcutaneous ligaments.

Long-Term Results: Because collagen production is stimulated, the effect is not limited to fullness but increases over time.

Non-Surgical Alternative: It offers a safe, comfortable, and short recovery alternative to surgical facelifts.

High Patient Satisfaction: Results are satisfactory in both clinical and individual evaluations.

Follow-Up with Advanced Technology: Thanks to analyses performed with a 3D photosystem, progress can be tracked with concrete data.

Conclusion: Does It Really Lift the Face?
Yes. Both subjective satisfaction scores and objective measurements clearly demonstrate that this gel not only adds volume but also lifts the facial structure. Lifting vector measurements demonstrate that this effect is also mathematically proven.

Facial rejuvenation is no longer just about appearance; it's about rebuilding the facial architecture.
