Understanding Ageing: A Deeper Dive into Skin Structures
Ageing is a natural phenomenon, and our approach is rooted in a profound understanding of its impact on the face and its structures. Through dermatology and aesthetic medicine, we conduct holistic assessments and craft bespoke treatment plans.
In our youth, our faces boast plumpness and volume, a result of optimal cellular function and well-maintained fat pads. This diagram vividly illustrates how muscles, bones and fat pads work together to create a smooth, firm appearance. The ageing process, illustrated through these compelling images, reveals the subtle yet significant changes that occur. As we age, fat pads diminish, separate and descend due to gravity, leading to a loss of fullness, flattening of cheeks, and hollowing in various areas.
Understanding the anatomy of these changes is crucial for effective treatment. Through analysis, doctors now realise that rather than starting by injecting in the folded areas we must restore volume where the fat pads once sat and have been lost. This often begins with treating the cheeks and temporal areas before addressing nasolabial folds and the lower face.
The journey to restoration doesn’t require drastic measures; it’s about making small adjustments in your mid-20s and beyond. These lay the foundation to prevent further slippage with age. Even for those in their 50s and 60s, a non-surgical approach, such as our ‘liquid face lift,’ can offer remarkable results.
Behind the Skin: Exploring The Changes
Behind the Skin: Exploring The ChangesIt’s not just about external factors; there are modifiable elements within our control. A balanced diet, hydration, avoidance of smoking and sugary foods, and sun protection all contribute to maintaining skin barrier function and collagen production.
As we age, fat pads around our eyes, cheeks and sides of our faces reduce in size and descend, leading to the ‘Inverted Triangle of Old Age.’ By understanding these changes, we can employ a multi-level, multi-therapy approach, incorporating procedures, medical-grade skincare, micro-needling, and rejuvenating chemical peels and laser light treatments.
Volume Loss and the Role of Bone: A Scientific Restoration
Restoring volume where it has diminished and lifting areas that need assistance against gravity is our goal. The aged face is a result of various factors, and our methods aim to address these changes elegantly and scientifically. At Faciem Dermatology we use reputable dermal fillers, focusing on ‘re-volumisation products’ like Juvederm. The result? A refreshed and rested appearance without the dreaded overfilled or chipmunk look.
At Faciem, we are here to guide you, not just as dermatologists but as partners in your journey to timeless beauty. No one will know you have had ‘treatment’ but everyone will comment how rested and refreshed you look See you soon at the clinic!
