Have you arrived at that age where the profile of your face has suddenly become a little blurry?
Where the strong definition of your features are not so sharp. As we age we lose our cheekbones, they tend to travel down our face.. as the saying goes 'everything is going south'. This results in our jawline becoming saggy and the old turkey neck appearing....sounds attractive doesn't it!!!
Well, what options can we take to rectify this?
1. We can go for a facelift....this is going to be a painful and costly experience with a good deal of down time. You also have to think of the psychology with this option with having to undergo a general anesthetic.. is it worth the risk for something cosmetic?
2. We can use Dermal Fillers to add volume, create cheekbones and give the skin a gentle lift. This has always been a good option for people not wanting a surgical procedure. Dermal fillers last up to one year depending on lifestyle... if you party hard, they might last a lot less. Dermal fillers give an instant result and you can return to work the next day with no one the wiser, just curious to know how you look so fresh and rejuvenated!
3. Another weapon in our armoury are PDO threads! We have been using these now for over a year and what a difference they make!
They can be a stand alone treatment or used in conjunction with Botox and fillers to get a fantastic result.
The threads are placed under the skin, (which has been numbed with local anesthetic) in strategic places forming a matrix of threads that will lift and rejuvenate the skin.
Some threads are so fine they are like hairs, the stronger threads are thicker and have small barbs on them that will attach to the skin and give a good lifting result.
These threads have been used for years in open heart surgery and over the months will gradually dissolve. While the threads remain under the skin, they cause collagen to form by stimulating the fibroblasts. This will also improve skin tone and radiance.
The procedure is almost painless with little downtime. You might experience the odd bruise, but these are easily coverable with light make up.
