BEAUTY FOR ALL AGES
Everyone ages differently. Find out how you can maintain your looks, no matter what age, with these procedures.


In your 30's

At this age, skin quality is generally still quite good, so Botox treatments can help significantly to improve the fine lines that usually begin to appear. Botox can also help to reposition the brow and to soften the frown, so that alone can give a very good rejuvenation effect.


Your 30s are also a great time to start looking at some of the gentler treatments to deal with sun damage as at this stage it can be easily dealt with.
For more serious damage, there are treatments like chemical peels which help to restore youthfulness and reduce an uneven skin tone.

 

If there is significant sun damage, then the Fraxel laser could be an option to improve the appearance of the skin.

In your 40's

Now you start seeing changes that are not so readily addressed with a non-surgical option.
As we age, the face usually becomes squarer. We lose collagen in the cheekbone area and we gain a bit along the jaw line and in the jowl area. For men that looks acceptable, because a man is expected to have a squarer face, but for women it can make you look more masculine. As a result, the aim is to restore the face back to its oval shape. It is also worth looking at the eyelids, to see if there is any heaviness there. This is a problem that is common later on in life, but in some people it happens early and that can be very ageing so they might benefit from an operation to lift the upper eyelids.

If someone has a problem with the lower eyelids at this age, in terms of bags and puffiness, this is usually genetically determined and is a problem with the development of the midface, and the support to the lower lids.


You can operate to reduce the puffiness in the lower lid, but it is also possible to build up the mid-face, to create a stronger projection of the cheekbones, which is in itself quite rejuvenating and at the same time will also help to give that support back and mask any puffiness under the eyes.

In your 50's

As you move into your 50s, you are really looking more at “structural rejuvenation” – facelifts, forehead lifts and eyelid surgery. It is a more systematic approach, which is combined
with maintenance treatments such as Botox and fillers.


You can certainly do a lot more things without surgery now than you could ten or 15 years ago, but that is dependent on each patient as an individual.

For some age-related problems, surgery may be the only answer.
