There has been a big shift in the aesthetics industry over the last few years. Clients are now seeking a more natural look and to address specific signs of ageing rather than the fake or frozen look that we have seen so much of in the media.
By tailoring treatments to the individual we can ensure you look refreshed and rejuvenated rather than frozen.
So how can aesthetic treatments be used to address ageing whilst maintaining a natural look?
As we age our skin loses stores of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elasticity. This leads to wrinkles forming in the areas where we move our face the most, typically the forehead, frown lines and around the eyes. Anti-wrinkle treatments can be used to target these lines and also prevent them from forming at rest or getting deeper. Anti-wrinkle treatments do reduce movement of the facial muscles, but by tailoring treatments to the individual we can ensure you retain some natural movement so you look refreshed and rejuvenated rather than frozen.
Another feature of facial ageing is volume loss from bone and fat pad resorption. This occurs most in the mid face and around the mouth which leads to cheek flattening and downward movement causing jowls. Lips also become thinner and more lined. When dermal fillers are tailored to the clients degree of volume loss it can be incredibly subtle to others yet very effective in restoring a youthful appearance…it is a good sign when no-one else can tell! For example, a little filler to the cheek region will restore natural cheek curvature, soften any ‘shelf effect’ around the lower eye, as well as lift the lower face. Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid which attracts a large amount of water giving a hydrated effect to the skin above. This is particularly useful in the lips where using small amounts can give a more youthful, plumper appearance without excessive volume.
