THE MICHIKO APPROACH

Understand the approach.
Then consider the fit.

Face-Lock is MICHIKO’s name for its Oriental Filler Lifting approach, associated with Dr. Gift. It is a way of planning filler treatment, not a separate filler material. This page explains the thinking behind the technique.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Confidence begins
with understanding.

Ask about the product, expected benefit, alternatives and follow-up. Filler carries risks, including rare but serious blood-vessel complications. A qualified clinician should explain these before treatment.

After injection, vision changes, unusual severe pain or pale or dusky skin require urgent medical care.

Understand your face

See the area in context.

Follow the connections.

ILLUSTRATIVE AREAS · PERSONAL ASSESSMENT COMES FIRST

01 / MOUTH CORNER & CHINSCROLL TO EXPLORE

Understand the starting point.

The concern may involve volume, support, skin or previous treatment. Looking at the whole face helps explain which area needs attention.

THE CONCERN

Read the connections.

Tell Dr. Gift and our medical team what has changed and what you want to retain. Examination considers tissue, movement and treatment history.

THE CONNECTION

Choose a considered next step.

Ask what the proposed treatment can change, what it cannot and how the result will be reviewed. Choosing to wait is also an option.

YOUR PERSONAL PLAN

A CLIENT’S TREATMENT JOURNEY

Softer folds, with the cheeks supported.

The change is in how the cheeks and folds work together. MICHIKO’s 5 cc plan combined midface support, nasolabial-fold treatment and the Face-Lock approach, creating a smoother transition through the centre of the face.

Look beneath the visible change.

Changes in skin, soft tissue and underlying structure can influence facial shape. Face-Lock planning begins with a medical assessment of your own starting point.

Explore the consultation

Consider the effect across your face.

The discussion connects individual areas with your overall proportions. The aim and amount are agreed after assessment, rather than chosen from a fixed number of syringes.

Explore the consultation

A technique is only part of the decision.

Filler is not a surgical facelift and does not suit every concern. Ask about alternatives, treatment limits and what a realistic outcome means for you.

When a different approach fits.

Ultrasound and threads have different roles from filler. These separate treatment examples help explain why the method starts with the concern.

MICHIKO · UNDERSTANDING THE LAYERS

A closer look beneath the skin.

The diagram is a simplified view of facial tissues. Understanding these layers helps explain why a medical assessment comes before a filler plan.

Skin: the visible surface

The epidermis and dermis form the skin. Surface texture and deeper contour are different concerns, so a filler discussion should also consider skin quality.

Fat and connective tissue: shape and support

Facial fat is arranged in compartments. The SMAS is a fibrous and muscular tissue network with anatomy that varies across the face. These structures help explain why one plan does not fit every area.

Muscle: movement and expression

Expression adds another dimension to the assessment. Your doctor considers movement alongside contour and previous treatment. The diagram is educational, not a map of injection sites or depths.

THE VISUAL GUIDE

The original campaign artwork introduces Face-Lock Filler. The treatment explanation considers support across connected facial areas; the artwork is not proof that filler can reproduce a surgical lift or guarantee a particular degree of tightening.

The right role for each approach.

Face-Lock Filler Technique · the area in context

Face-Lock describes a plan, not one product

Structural filler, ultrasound, radiofrequency, selected toxin treatment and threads address different aspects of the face. Each has a different role. A filler-led approach considers support and proportion; a skin-tightening device addresses a different tissue concern.

Ask which component is recommended for you, why it is needed and whether treating one concern first would make the next decision clearer. The name of a technique does not guarantee a fixed amount of lift or replace discussion of risks.

How should I prepare for face-lock filler technique?

Bring previous treatment dates, products and photographs if available. Tell the doctor about medicines, supplements, allergies, medical conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any infection or irritation near the area. Ask about the intended product, alternatives, cost and follow-up before consenting.

Some medicines and supplements can affect bruising or bleeding. Do not stop prescribed medicines yourself; any change should be agreed with the prescribing clinician. Ask the clinic about alcohol, exercise and other preparations relevant to your appointment.

01Treatment history & photographs
02Medicines & allergies
03Questions, goals & timing
04Agree the plan before deciding

What should I do after filler?

Follow your treating doctor’s instructions for skin care, activity, pressure on the area and the timing of other procedures. Mild swelling, tenderness or bruising can happen. Avoid firm massage unless the clinician specifically advises it, and ask how and when to use a cool compress.

Contact the clinic for increasing swelling, persistent pain, redness, warmth or a new lump. Severe unusual pain, pale or dusky skin, or vision changes need immediate medical attention. Keep the urgent contact details and attend the agreed follow-up; an early swollen photograph is not the final result.

BEFORE YOU VISIT

Your questions.
Thoughtfully answered.

Is Face-Lock a different filler product?

It is the name of MICHIKO’s treatment approach, rather than a new filler substance. Ask which HA product is proposed for your plan.

Is it a replacement for a facelift?

No. Filler and surgery have different roles and limitations. Your doctor should explain when another approach is more suitable.

How do I know which treatment I need?

Start with your concern rather than a product name. Your doctor will assess it and explain suitable options, including when an injectable may not be appropriate.

Can I discuss previous filler?

Yes. Bring treatment dates, product details and photographs if available. If something feels too full or uneven, mention it before considering more treatment.

How is the amount and cost decided?

The plan follows your assessment. Ask for the product, proposed amount, total cost and any follow-up charges before agreeing to treatment.

Will I need time to recover?

Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur. Ask your doctor about recovery for your particular plan and leave flexibility around important events.

What should I bring to the consultation?

Bring your questions, medical and allergy history, medicines and supplements, and details of previous procedures. Do not change prescribed medicines without advice from your prescribing clinician.

Can I have a consultation without treatment?

Yes. You can use the visit to understand your options and take time to decide. Ask our team about consultation arrangements when booking.

Are the case photos a promise of my result?

No. They show individual experiences. Starting anatomy, treatment history and the agreed plan differ from person to person.
