Ageing is a natural process that affects all parts of our body, but it is often most visible on our face. Over time, our skin loses elasticity and volume, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of ageing.
Thankfully, modern aesthetic treatments offer a range of solutions to combat these changes and help restore and enhance your facial profile. One of the most popular and effective treatments is the use of dermal fillers, a treatment that London City Skin Clinic specialises in.
Ageing and facial features
As we age, several key changes occur in our face. Understanding these changes is essential to appreciate how dermal fillers can restore individual features to rejuvenate the appearance of your facial profile:
Cheeks
As we age, the volume of natural fat pads in our cheeks begins to break down causing a sunken appearance that diminishes the V shape associated with youth.
This volume loss can make the face look tired and aged. Additionally, the skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging, laxity and the enhancement of nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth).
Dermal Fillers Solution:
Dermal fillers can be used to restore lost volume to the cheeks by providing structural support.
Through the application of strategic injections into the outer and middle portion of the face, fillers can re-establish the slender contour along your cheekbones, reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds and lift the natural tissues.
When applied alongside other treatments, cheek enhancement can result in a more balanced facial shape.
Temples
The temples are often overlooked in discussions about ageing, but they too experience volume loss over time. Often, this results in a hollow or sunken appearance that is distinct from other indicators of tiredness.
Volume loss in the temples can also affect the overall harmony of the face, as the transition between the forehead and the rest of the face becomes less smooth.
Dermal Fillers Solution
Injecting dermal fillers into the temples can restore lost volume, creating a smoother and more youthful shape. This subtle enhancement can significantly improve the overall balance and proportion of the face. The procedure can also help lift the outer corners of the eyebrows and reduce crow’s feet, providing a more open and refreshed appearance to the eyes.
Jawline
The jawline is impacted by many complex changes throughout the process of ageing including bone loss, fat redistribution and skin laxity. Many people believe that the loss of volume in this area combined with the laxity to be the most devastating difference in their appearance.
A defined jawline is often associated with a youthful contoured face, and dermal fillers can be used to both restore and enhance this facial feature to allow you to feel more confident.
Dermal Fillers Solution
Dermal fillers can be used to sculpt and contour the jawline. By injecting fillers along the jawline, medical practitioners can create sharpness, reducing the appearance of sagging skin and jowls.
Jawline contouring can likewise be applied to add definition and structure if you are unhappy with the natural shape of your jaw.
At London City Skin Clinic, we provide Jawline Contouring that is achieved through accurate placement of an appropriately selected hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler at the angle of the jaw, to generate a balanced facial profile from all angles.
Nose
The nose can undergo several changes with age, including a loss of definition, the appearance of bumps or indentations, and a downward shift of the nasal tip. These changes can affect the overall harmony of the face and make other signs of ageing more pronounced.
Dermal Fillers Solution
Dermal fillers offer a safe and effective way to address minor imperfections in the nose without the need for surgery. Fillers can be used to smooth out bumps, enhance the bridge, and create a more symmetrical and balanced appearance.
This procedure can significantly reduce imbalances in the facial features, providing a more attractive and youthful look.
Chin
A weak chin refers to a chin that is set back into the face which is not desirable in a female facial profile. This can be caused by many factors including genetics and the effects of a traumatic injury or surgical intervention.
Volume loss and skin laxity can further exacerbate a weak chin.
Dermal Fillers Solution
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the projection and shape of the chin, providing better facial symmetry. By strategically injecting fillers into the chin area, practitioners can create a more proportional profile. This enhancement can complement other facial features, and naturally boost the appearance of the lips and cheeks.
However, if a weak chin is caused by a significant change to bone structure of your jaw, then it may be more appropriate to seek surgery before consulting a non-surgical doctor about dermal fillers.
Lips
It is widely acknowledged that lips have been the object of desire throughout history and, as such, thin or ageing lips can decrease confidence and a simple non-surgical filler in this area can lift the entire appearance of the face.
Unfortunately, lips are particularly susceptible to thinning over time as well as the development of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
Dermal Fillers Solution
Dermal fillers can add volume and definition to the lips creating fullness and restoring their youthful appearance if ageing is your primary concern. Additionally, fillers can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, resulting in a more rejuvenated and attractive look.
The Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer numerous benefits for individuals looking to enhance their facial features and combat the signs of ageing.
Here are some of the key advantages of seeking a professional doctor for dermal fillers:
- Non-Surgical:
Dermal fillers provide a non-surgical option for facial enhancement, allowing individuals to achieve significant improvements without the need for invasive procedures or lengthy recovery times. To ensure you achieve the balanced outcome you desire and to manage any potential complications, you need an experienced medical practitioner.
- Quick Procedure:
Dermal filler treatments are relatively quick and convenient, often taking only 30 minutes to an hour to complete depending on the number of injections required. This makes them an ideal option for individuals with busy schedules.
- Natural-Looking Results:
When performed by skilled practitioners, dermal filler treatments can provide natural-looking results that enhance the individual’s unique features without appearing overdone or artificial.
- Minimal Downtime:
Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after a dermal filler treatment. There may be some minor swelling or bruising, but these side effects are usually temporary and resolve quickly.
Customisable Treatments:
Dermal fillers can be tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual. Whether you are looking to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, or enhance facial contours, dermal fillers can be customised to achieve your desired results.
