The subtle Tweakments that have the biggest impact on the ageing face
Ageing is a natural part of life and as we get older, we start to see an increase in deep lines, volume loss, and tired, dull looking skin. However, there are subtle aesthetic "tweakments" that can help fight and slow down the signs of ageing, and often it is the smallest of changes that can have the biggest impact on the ageing of the face.
Award-winning Aesthetic Doctor, Dr Christine Or, is known for her "less is more" approach to aesthetics, working in harmony with the whole face and tailoring treatments to her patients that subtly enhance rather than completely change how they look. Below she rounds-up her favourite five tweakments which are minimally invasive and have little or no downtime yet have the biggest impact on the ageing face.
The subtle Tweakments that have the biggest impact on the ageing face: Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring protein which is a very safe and effective treatment to reduce expressive (dynamic) facial lines. The toxin blocks chemical messages from the nerve to the muscle so that the muscle stays in its resting state for a period of 8 to 12 weeks on average. This may be only a partial reduction in movement allowing some remaining movement or a full block in which case there is very little remaining muscle movement in the area-this depends on the amount administered and the location of the product placement. Treatment is tailored to your requirements.
Why it works:
Reduces the appearance of frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet around the eyes
Subtle freshness can be achieved by treating the chin, corners of the mouth, upper lip, gummy smile and bunny nose
Treating the neck can improve the jawline ("Nefertiti Neck Lift")
Visible results can be seen in as little as two weeks
A "well-rested" look can be achieved and lasts for 3-4 months
The subtle Tweakments that have the biggest impact on the ageing face: Cheek Enhancement
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar molecule that attracts water to provide volume and hydration. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Teosyal, and Belotero contain a sterile hyaluronic acid gel that has been cross-linked to make it last longer.
As we age, volume in the cheek area is lost and this can often lead to a tired look, sagging and a heavy nose to mouth line (nasolabial fold). Dermal filler can be used to enhance the cheeks by replacing lost volume and creating a little lift to rejuvenate the face.
Why it works:
Supports and lifts the lower face
Replaces the volume we lose as we age
Creates a more youthful appearance that subtly enhances rather than looking "done".
The subtle Tweakments that have the biggest impact on the ageing face: Profhilo Structura
As we age, natural fat loss and skin laxity can lead to a noticeable decline in facial volume and definition particularly in the cheeks and jawline. Profhilo Structura is the latest advancement in injectable treatments, developed to address these deeper structural changes without the need for traditional volumising fillers. With a higher concentration of pure hyaluronic acid and a refined delivery method using a cannula, Profhilo Structura offers a subtle, natural lift while supporting the regeneration of the skin’s underlying structures.
Why it works:
Gives a lifted and more defined appearance
Results are very natural and there is no change to the structure of the face
Stimulates collagen and gives a glow to the skin.
The subtle Tweakments that have the biggest impact on the ageing face: Polynucleotides
One of the first signs of ageing on our face is dark circles and fine lines around the eye area, Polynucleotides are effective for eye rejuvenation to reduce dark circles, improve skin elasticity and smooth fine lines. They utilise injectable chains of nucleotides - the building blocks of DNA and RNA, to stimulate cell regeneration and repair. Treatment involves injecting polynucleotides into the under-eye area to stimulate collagen and elastin production, enhance hydration and improve skin texture.
Why it works:
Skin around the eye area will appear brighter
Reduces the tired look of dark circles under the eyes
Results can usually be seen around a month after your last treatment and continue to improve over the next few months.
The subtle Tweakments that have the biggest impact on the ageing face: Lip Enhancement
As we age, our lips can lose fullness and definition, therefore a subtle lip filler treatment can help to restore the natural shape of our lips, improve hydration and add volume, for a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers can also correct asymmetry and create definition of the lip border for a naturally full look.
Why it works:
Results of lip enhancement will be immediate and usually lasts 6-9 months
Restores lip definition and softness
Can be tailored to each individual patient for a subtle and natural look.
