Have you noticed looser skin as you’ve gotten older? Maybe deeper wrinkles that weren’t there a year ago?
The truth is, as we age, we are losing VOLUME in all layers of the face.
BONE - have you noticed a droop in your eyebrow, or your nose tip? All due to bone resorption. And the bone provides the framework for the overlying tissue.
MUSCLES - repetitive contraction of muscles, resulting in superficial and deep lines and wrinkles. Lipstick lines are often more obvious as the muscle is closely attached to the overlying skin.
FAT - fat in the face is good! We have lots of fat compartments throughout the face in youth, which are smoothly arranged. They become disrupted as we age, with the fat pads both losing volume and repositioning. Resulting in hollowed out areas and jowling.
SKIN - with all this underlying volume loss and repositioning, the skin doesn’t have the same support as it once did. Add to this elasticity and collagen loss, sun damage and the natural passage of time and we’re left with thinner skin, rough texture, deep lines and discolourations.
Ageing will come to us all, but there are ways and means to delay it slightly.
