Whether we like it or not, age advances. Although we cannot stop it, with a better understanding of its process, we can intervene and slow down the visible signs. Dermal fillers are a great way to slow the appearance of an ageing face.

Most of us recognise the visible effects of ageing via the following:

Wrinkles and lines

Deep skin folds and hollows

Sagging skin

Drooping with a downward smile when at rest

Eye bags, puffy lower cheeks

Thinning

Shortening of chin

Brown blotches and redness

As we age, we undergo many changes including:

Loss of bone

Loss of fat, which causes deep skin folds and hollows

Movement of fat leads to baggy skin around the eyes, prominent jowls and puffy lower cheeks

The muscles that pull the face up weaken, and those that pull down dominate, resulting in a downturned and droopy look

The skin’s supportive network breaks down with a loss of collagen and elastin

Blood vessels and pigmentation become more prominent

As a strategy for preserving and nurturing skin, it is necessary to deal with the key factors involved in the ageing process, not just stop certain movements from occurring. This is where filler comes into play.

At ENRICH, we use lip enhancement fillers and muscle-relaxant injections to replace volume from bone and fat, halt wrinkles in their tracks, and strengthen and improve the skin. A combined approach of several procedures is often the most appropriate way forward for improving the appearance of the face. You can contact us at our Melbourne clinic to book a consultation to discuss how we can address your individual concerns.
