FILLERS IN HUDDERSFIELD
The body continually produces hyaluronic acid. This is the main component of dermal fillers. However, this production reduces with age and subsequently makes us look older. It holds 1000 times it’s weight in water within our cells. Therefore, giving deep moisture to the skin.
As we age volume is lost from the face because of shrinking of the facial bones. Thus causing facial fats pads to drop. Volume loss is one of the main factors of visible facial ageing. This is why ageing causes sagging of the face. In other words, there is less support for the skin and muscles of the face. In addition, the sagging causes jowls and a heaviness in the lower part of the face.
What do they do?
Fillers acts to give support to the structure of the skin, helping to halt the ageing process. Therefore, this gives the full, curved contours we had in our youth, it also reflects light from our skin giving a youthful glow. In addition, a contoured cheekbone lifts the facial skin into a youthful curve allowing light reflection from the side of the cheek. For any truly successful rejuvenation programme, the issue of age-related facial volume and contour change has to be addressed. In an aged face, the face appears flattened, droopy and dull with less light reflection. In other words, it will make you appear to look tired, gaunt and hollow in the mid-face.
Similarly, loss of volume in our cheeks is one of the main causes for the formation of nose to mouth lines. We now understand that by replacing lost cheek volume we can often soften the appearance of these lines. This is why the upper and outer portion of the cheek is addressed first before the nose to mouth lines are treated directly.
As we age deflation of the lips happens. At A* Aesthetics, the use of a cannula gently re-plumps the body of the lip to replace what’s been lost, rather than over-fill with a stiff product that makes the border between lip and skin look ledge-like. There are various techniques dependent on the lip shape at presentation, use of a cannula (blunt tipped) can be very nice to roll the lip outwards and upwards before final refinement with a needle.
