As we age, facial volume and the contours of the face change. Estrogen (a hormone), that decreases in women in particular, impacts the skin, muscles, bones and fat pads in the face. There are three sets of fat pads in the face that affect curvature and, when we’re young, result in a vibrant look. When we lose weight and age, the middle, medial and lateral fat pads deflate and descend. A typical youthful appearance features high cheekbones, full cheeks and a defined jawline. 

How we take care of ourselves can affect how we age. Smoking, sun, alcohol, inflammation, sugar, sleep and stress are some of the factors that can age us prematurely. As we age, we experience a loss of facial glands which results in less oil produced contributing to less moisture in the skin. Also, we lose collagen, elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid causing wrinkles, laugh lines, frown lines and crow’s feet making us appear tired and old. The scaffolding (support) of the upper/mid face decreases, influencing the onset of sunken-in areas, a sagging jawline, double chin and fat loss in the lower part of the face (like an avalanche effect). 

At Flawless Future Medical Spa, we offer advanced solutions to help with this, including Dermal Fillers. Dermal Fillers require a detailed aesthetic eye bringing together art and science. The fillers are gently injected and sculpted into the upper and mid face to “lift”, volumizing the skin’s surface to provide contours and fullness that we once had, making us appear younger again. Our licensed practitioner is medically trained to best assess a person’s needs and goals. Results are instant, along with a noteworthy boost in confidence.
