How the Face Ages
Aging isn’t just “a few fine lines around the eyes.”
It’s a full-blown team effort — and unfortunately, the team is not working in your favor.
We’ve got skin, fat, muscles, and even bones joining forces to slowly shift, sag, and slide.
Let’s break it down — layer by layer (with love and a little humor).
🧴 The Skin
Once plump, glowy and tight — like a juicy peach.
Now? Drier, thinner, less collagen, and more “I swear that wrinkle wasn’t there yesterday.”
📉 Elasticity? Down.
📌 What to do: Hydrate, nourish, and most importantly — support what’s underneath (hint: muscles & fascia).
🧈 Fat Tissue
In youth: evenly distributed, soft and youthful.
With age: disappears from where you want it (cheeks, temples) and gathers where you don’t (jowls, under the chin).
🎭 It’s like your face is rearranging itself — but forgot to consult you first.
📌 What to do: Improve circulation, reduce puffiness, restore natural volume positioning.
💪 Facial Muscles
Your muscles are like emotional journals — every frown, laugh, or stress moment leaves a mark.
Over time, some stay stuck in a tense state for years 😅
Levator muscles (the lifters) weaken, while depressors (the down-pullers) go into overdrive.
📌 What to do: Release tension, retrain the balance — like a gym session, but for your face.
🦴 Bone Structure
Yes, your bones are aging too.
The facial skeleton loses volume over time — especially around the eyes, jawline, and temples.
📉 With less support underneath, everything above begins to collapse downward.
No pressure.
📌 What to do: Strengthen the soft tissues and support structures — so they can lift and hold themselves naturally.
✅ Bottom Line:
Facial aging isn’t just about skin. It’s about structural changes — from bone to fascia to fat and muscle.
But here’s the good news: you don’t need needles or surgery to fight it.
