Understanding ageing using The 8 Point Approach

From our mid 20’s we begin a process of ageing that sees us lose facial volume and skin tone. This changes our overall facial dynamic. As we age we lose volume across the face and often the first signs can be seen in 8 distinct areas. Dermal fillers, including those made from naturally occurring sugars, can be used to replace volume at those key points to re-volumize youthful curves, enhancing or rejuvenating for a natural-looking result.

Face Doctors Remuera is excited to offer this cost-effective, natural-looking filler treatment to give you an overall lifted, healthier appearance in the face, cheek and jowl area. Read on to find out more about the 8 Point Approach and make an appointment at the clinic to discover how it can achieve fantastic anti-aging results for you…

Learn About How Your Face May Be Changing

1. & 2. Cheek structure
Youthful cheeks are naturally full of volume. This makes them smooth and well defined. As we get older, we start to lose this youthful volume and definition.

3. Tear troughs
The circles under the eyes are known as tear troughs. Hollow depressions in this area can also be a result of volume loss. As we age, these circles become more noticeable, creating a tired look even when we feel fine.

4. Nasolabial folds
The lines that run from the corner of our nose to the mouth are known as ‘nasolabial folds’.
As gravity pulls down soft tissue volume in our face over time, these lines gradually deepen.
5. Mouth frown
Where the corners of our mouth begin to turn downwards is known as a mouth frown.

6. Pre-jowl area
Jowls are caused as excess soft tissue volume is pushed down the face over time. Jowls gradually appear as we age and can create a heavy appearance.

7. Jawline
A youthful jawline is defined by a smooth line extending from the corner of the jaw to the chin. As we age, jawlines lose definition.

8. Cheek Volume
Volume loss in the mid face can cause the cheeks to appear hollow.

Botox® Cosmetic
