Treatments for Facial Ageing - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The normal signs of ageing on the face can include fine lines and wrinkles, sagging of the skin and volume loss, and as time goes by, these will only intensify. Skin naturally starts to lose its elasticity, which causes wrinkles, and repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking and poor diet and dehydration will all speed up the natural ageing process and cause early wrinkling.

Dermal fillers fill the hollows under the eyes

Our skin ages in different ways:

Wrinkles
Skin loses some of its elasticity due to wrinkles and fine lines becoming thinner and drier and the wrinkles are often found around the neck, eyes, forehead, mouth and lips. Frequent fine motor movements of the face, that get repeated over the years, usually cause these lines.

• Eye Lines - Wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes, caused by squinting in sunshine, reading in dim light, or at the computer screen.
• Frown lines - caused by frequent furrowing of the forehead in concentration or concern.
• Mouth lines - around the edges of the mouth and lips are usually caused by smoking, or puckering the lips when drinking through a straw.

Loss of volume
As we get into our 30's, one of the most dramatic changes to the skin is the loss of collagen. Collagen production starts to diminish over time, leaving fine lines and wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity. Our skin will start to lose its plumpness because of the loss of fat and tissue under the skin. This lost volume can make the face look gaunt and hollow, especially around the eyes and the cheeks.

Loss in facial volume causes:

• Permanent parentheses lines on the resting face
• Sagging skin after sudden weight loss
• The cheeks flatten over time
• Hollows to appear under the eyes

Sagging
As we age, our skin loses the collagen and elastin which keeps it looking soft, plump and youthful. Ageing and gravity cause the facial muscles to weaken, which causes the skin to sag a little further down every day.

Sagging skin causes:

• Fine lines and wrinkles forming in the skin.
• Pores in the skin often seem bigger.
• Furrows and crevices start to develop around the eyes, neck and mouth.
• Lack of definition at the jaw

The natural rate of ageing causes some of our wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, and there are some characteristics of ageing which are completely out of our control, like genetics, anatomy and gravity.
However, there are cosmetic procedures available which can help to slow down the ageing process.

A liquid face lift using a combination of botox and fillers

Botox - Facial lines and wrinkles aren't evident when the muscles underneath are relaxed. These signs of facial ageing can easily be reduced or eliminated by botox treatment, resulting in a natural and more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers - The precise placing of fillers gives a natural filled out appearance to the hollows in sunken cheeks and under eye troughs and softens deep grooves, giving you dramatic results.
Accent skin tightening - We can use this as a stand alone treatment or combined with other treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion and dermaroller, to enhance results. These are great ways to tone, tighten and smooth your skin. It gives you rejuvenated skin firmness with the toned look of youth.
