Facial ageing becomes apparent the older we get, as not only does our skin change – becoming dryer, thinner, and less elastic due to loss of collagen – but our bones, muscles, and fat distribution also change.
Muscle tone is lost and fat redistribution leads to changes in our face shape and contour, this leads to more prominent forehead lines, hollowing of the cheeks, thinning lips, and deeper folds and wrinkles around the lower face, known as Nasolabial folds, Marionette lines, and vertical mouth wrinkles.
A youthful look depends on the right amount of volume in the right places, as hollow cheeks, deep folds and wrinkles around the mouth area can add years to your appearance. At Aesthetics of Essex, creating this volume in the right places for a youthful, healthy and natural-looking effect is our speciality!
