Look Your Best...
At Any Age
By: Chrystal Fernandez,RN
Facial aging begins in our 20’s and progresses over time. As the face ages we lose collagen, elasticity, subcutaneous fat, muscles weaken and bone loss around the eyes, teeth, maxilla and jaw. This leads to wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, crows feet and around the mouth, under eye bags, volume loss in the temples, nasolabial folds, cheeks, marionette lines, jowls and lips. When this occurs the overall shape of the face changes.
Progression of the aging process is related to many factors including but not limited to genetics, hormonal changes, life style, stress, sun exposure, smoking and diet. We can slow the process down with a healthy diet, exercise, plenty of water, daily use of a good skin care regimen, daily use a broad spectrum sunscreen and plenty of sleep each night.
Botulinumtoxin type products such as Botox® Cosmetic, Xeomin® and Dysport™ can block the nerve impulses within the muscles, resulting in a dramatic softening of overlying wrinkles, frown lines, forehead creases and crow's feet. Dermal Fillers such as Juvederm™,Radiesse®,Restylane™,Perlane™ and Sculptra® work as fillers to raise the tissues and decrease the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines, great for quick fixes.
When used in combination, these treatments can achieve safe effective non-surgical facial enhancements.
Look your best at any age and you will want to look everyone in the eyes and smile.
