Dermal filler placement has changed… a lot!
When I started injecting over 10 years ago, the approach to assessing and treating the face was very different.
Back then, treatments often focused on isolated areas eg nasolabial folds, lips and marionette lines.
We treated what we could see rather than understanding why it was happening.
Fast forward a decade and aesthetic enhancement is in a whole new league.
We treat the face completely differently now (well advanced practitioners do. You’ll still see many beauticians pumping up the cheeks until the face becomes a charachture of its former self). 🤦♀️
Today, it’s about working from the top down and supporting the lateral face first.
That’s because ageing isn’t just about chasing and filling in lines. It’s about structural change.
We need to consider bone resorption,fat pad descent and ligament laxity because all of this causes the face to move downwards and inwards as we get older.
Dr Bev Darwin and I have weekend clinics once a month.
Together we join forces to bring the latest techniques, products and skills to ensure patients get the highest standards of care and treatments available.
The clinic focus’s on restoring structure in the temple and cheek, supporting the outer face (lateral vectors) and rebalance. It is only then that the lower face can truly be addressed.
If you are interested in an appointment please contact CARA on 07597090470. May and June clinics are full and we have only have 2 appointments available in July.
