Your face ages in layers. Most people only think about the surface of the skin.

Four key anatomical layers of the face and how they contribute to how we age:
→ Skin: collagen, elastin, and hydration changes
→ Subcutaneous fat: volume loss and repositioning
→ Muscle: repeated contraction over time
→ Bone: gradual resorption of the structural framework

A thorough understanding of all skin layers is what guides a total face approach during a consultation.

Save this as a reference and follow for more anatomy education.

White spots on your lips? One common reason why is Fordyce spots.

Fordyce spots are oil glands that appear on hairless areas of the body, including the lips. They appear white in colour and sit close to the surface of the lips, making them visible, especially when the lips are stretched. They are present in the majority of adults, and their cause is almost always mistaken during my consultations.

They are often small in size and can appear as a single spot, in small groups, or in large clusters. They don’t usually cause any symptoms, or require treatment. Most people are mainly concerned about their appearance. Treatment options for Fordyce spots can be discussed with a dermatologist.

Save this and send it to someone who needs to see this.

Most people are more familiar with their reflection than their ‘true’ image.

Mirrors show a reversed version of your face, while photos show how others see you, which can feel unfamiliar, even when nothing has changed.

On top of that, camera lenses, lighting and angles can all influence how features appear. It sometimes exaggerating shadows, texture or asymmetry.

This is why the same face can look different across photos, mirrors and environments.

Perception of a photo doesn’t always resemble real life appearance. This is why I only consult patient faces for what I see in real life in the room, not for what you see a photo.

Facial asymmetry is a normal part of anatomy.

No face develops in perfect symmetry. Small differences in bone structure, muscle activity and soft tissue all contribute to natural variation.

Asymmetries are often subtle are may not be noticeable to the human eye and perfect symmetry can sometimes appear unfamiliar. They can appear more noticeable in photos due to static images having no natural movement, different lighting, angles and camera lens.

Attempting to create perfect symmetry is mostly unattainable. Not everything can, or needs, to be corrected.

Most people think of teeth only in terms of chewing or smiling. They also play a structural role in facial skin support.

The anterior dentition (front teeth) and underlying alveolar bone help support the lips and upper cheek soft tissue. Teeth that are missing, worn, or misaligned can change how the lips sit and how facial contours appear, not just functionally, but in overall facial balance.

Dental support and soft tissue anatomy must be assessed together, as loss of bone and teeth can influence how soft tissue appears.

Trends change.
Individual anatomy comes first.

In aesthetics, it’s easy to replicate what’s popular, but your face isn’t a temporary template.

Each person has different skeletal support, soft tissue volume, muscle activity and skin quality. What looks balanced on one individual may look disproportionate on another.

Assessment should always come before influence.

Treatment, safety and technique follows diagnosis. Not trends.

My approach is guided by natural-looking, proportional and long-term results, not what’s trending this season.

This means treatment plans discussed inside a consultation are tailored specifically to your individual anatomy.

Skincare plays a fundamental role in maintaining healthy skin. Cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising and protecting with sunscreen all support barrier function and long-term skin integrity.

However, topical products primarily act within the outer layers of the skin.

Some skin concerns originate in deeper layers of the skin and certain professionally delivered treatments are designed to interact at those different levels.

It isn’t about choosing one over the other.

Homecare maintains.
Professional treatments complement.

Understanding the depth of a concern helps guide appropriate treatment discussions during a consultation.

Under-eye dark circles are often grouped together, but they don’t all arise from the same cause.

Darkening under the eyes may relate to structural anatomy, skin thickness, vascular visibility, pigmentation differences, or age-related changes in support.

Identifying the contributing factors is an important part of a thorough consultation and helps guide informed, individualised decisions regarding treatment options.

Facial ageing is not just about surface wrinkles. It is influenced by structural bone remodelling over time.

Bone resorption alters the structural framework of the face over time. Changes to the orbit (eyes), maxilla (mid-face) and mandible (jaw) influence how soft tissue is supported.

Understanding anatomy is essential when assessing facial ageing.

Every treatment plan should begin with an individualised clinical consultation and discussion of risks, suitability and expectations.

One of the reasons why you may no longer see results with the same treatment/s you’ve been having for number of years is not what many people want to hear…

It’s because you’ve aged.

The aging process is multifactorial.
• The bone resorbs and the skin loses its structural support.
• Collagen and elastin start to deplete causing the skin wrinkle, thin and sag.
• Fat pads in the face descend and shrink in size, also causing the skin to lose its support.
• Premature aging from sun damage, smoking and lifestyle factors.

These changes to our skin (and facial structures) over time mean our treatments may have to adapt. Sometimes, the treatment that worked for us 10 years ago may not provide the same effects now our skin has aged. You may need alternative/ additional, treatments to address your skin concerns for how the skin changes over time.

We cannot stop the aging process - no matter how many treatments we do. It’s important to have realistic expectations with treatment outcomes when it comes to aesthetic treatments.

All patients must have a consultation with a professional to discuss your skin concerns and potential treatment options.

Sun protection isn’t just preventing premature skin aging, it’s helping to protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays that can cause skin cancer (including melanoma).

Remember to have annual skin checks by a healthcare professional. If you notice any changes to any sun spots, don’t wait and make an appointment straight away.
