Chances are you’ve heard about Botox® and facial fillers, but knowing what you need to combat the aging process can often be overwhelming and intimidating.
Understanding this aging process is the most important step in deciding what treatment options to use.
What happens with time
Aging of the face can start as early as 20 years old and continues throughout your life. How fast your face ages and to what extent differs from person to person. These things typically happen as you age:
Aging is unique to each individual. Genetics play an important role in the way your face ages. How your mother ages can provide a glimpse of how your face may change after time.
Other factors, like your exposure to the sun over time and your diet, can play a role in determining when and to what extreme aging begins.
The triangle of youth
When people are younger, facial features are defined and well contoured. That's known as the triangle of youth. As people age, the triangle becomes inverted.
Aging isn’t just about the lines and wrinkles on your face. It also occurs beneath the skin. Signs of aging exist at every layer of the facial structure, including skin, fat pads, muscles and bone.
Treating your face
Our aestheticians are specially trained in understanding the aging process and addressing the options for your concerns. Each face ages differently, so getting individualized treatment is key.
