Common areas for volume replacement?
> Fine line wrinkles and deeper facial creases and folds
Vertical cheek lines are often called “accordion lines”. Often caused with age and lifestyle related volume loss, with repeated contraction of your facial muscles.
You may develop unwanted lines and folds around your chin due to an overactive chin muscle and volume loss.
> Low or droopy looking eyebrows
As the ageing process takes place we develop lower brows. Often shown by the lateral sides of your brow or near the inferior brow hairline lower or turning down (often they are asymmetrical), or temple hollowing will add to your sagging brows.
> Tear troughs/under-eye hollows
> Forehead and temples
As we age contour changes of the forehead and temples start to show with weight loss, increased exercise and ageing.
> Cheek and mid-face
As we age the most cheeks will decrease the jowls and lines between the nose and the mouth (naso-labial folds), this is mainly due to bone, fat and muscle loss occuring.
> Corners of the mouth
Your mouth usually ages as we loose structural support and volume loss and overactivity of the mouth muscles. It is also from smoking and or narrowing of the teeth or loss of teeth. The corners of your mouth, start to turn downwards and the marionette lines, shadows and jowls become more obvious.
> Deep Smile Folds
Deep smile folds are also referred to as naso-labial folds. These are folds that run from either side of the nose, downward to the mouth. Often, with age and volume loss, it creates a heaviness of the cheeks descending towards the mid-face or jowl area; indirectly increasing the depth of the folds.
> Weak or undefined jawline
Longer lasting dermal fillers can be injected into your jawline. This strengthens its structures while adding more definition. This balances the lower facial features and eliminates the need for surgical implants. Muscle relaxant injections can also be used alone or in combination to tuck the jawline in and relax some of the upper neck muscles, this procedure is known as the Nefertiti Lift.
> Upper and lower lip lines
These lines are often caused by smoking, repetitive puckering movements, lack of teeth support or just ageing. Indirectly the lip lines deeper, often to the border of the lip edges definition is lost. This treatment The hyperactivity of the many mouth muscles makes the lines appear deeper.
> Lip Enhancement: Definition and/or Fullness
As we age, our lips start to deflate in volume and lose their defined edges, turn inward and become thinner with noticeably less volume.
> Thin or droopy earlobes
Ageing combined with the natural effect of gravity and volume loss can lead to earlobe thinning or droopiness. Also, wearing large or heavy earrings can also make your earlobes stretch, causing your piercing to stretch or even tear. Surgical alternatives is also a option.
> Acne scars
Acne may often leave scars or small depressions on your face. It may also cause the skin texture to be uneven. The full correction is often difficult to achieve. Treatment is often used in conjunction with a multiple approach including resurfacing lasers for scarring.
This delicate area under the eyes may begin to show shadows or even semi-circular hollows early on depending on your age, sleeping position or genetics.
Treatments cost?
TGA prohibits giving costs prior to any thorough consultation.
The total cost of the treatment may vary from client to client. This is because we customise a treatment plan at consultation to check your individual suitability and the varying needs of every client.
