3 Different Types To Change Effectively
.
.
“Life is not fair – get used to it!” says Bill Gates.
.
Everyone is created differently and therefore we all age differently. Our faces age in different ways depending on the different factors such as genetics, environment and facial structure. In addition, our dietary habits and lifestyle also determine how we age.
.
Fixing Different Types of Aging: Type 1
Deep Wrinkles and Fine Lines
.
First signs of aging appear around the eyes because the skin is thin and loss of elasticity is more pronounced. As the problem gets worse, deep lines also appear around the forehead and mouth as they gradually become permanently etched on the face.
.
Loose skin and wrinkly necks also become more evident as we grow older. This is because the dermis gets thinner and more prone to creasing whenever you make a facial expression. Keeping an unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking, sun tanning, and consuming large amount of sugar and carbohydrates will also accelerate aging.
.
Solution: People who tend to have a lot of wrinkles and fine lines on the face can consider botox treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and refine the overall complexion. For those unaware, “Botox” is a brand of botulinum toxin available in the market to refine the skin. Today, there are 2 other common brands that doctors use: Dysport and Xeomin.
.
For those who wish to improve overall skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines on the face, CO2 skin resurfacing laser treatment is the perfect choice. It gently removes the outer layer of damaged skin to reveal the underlying skin which is smoother and softer.

Fixing Different Types of Aging: Type 2
Sagging Face with Turkey Neck
.
There is a category of people known as “The Saggers”. Their faces sag because their skin appears heavy. Deep laugh lines, double chin and saggy neck weigh down the face, making a person look grumpy and perpetually unhappy.
.
People who are saggers generally have a well-padded face with little or no loss of volume. However, their faces sag because of the natural downward pull of gravity.
Solution: Currently, the most effective non-surgical skin lifting treatment is thread lift treatment. These thread lift treatments are commonly known as Silhouette Soft Thread Lift or PDO Thread Lift. It is a lunchtime lift that uses dissolvable threads to reposition sagging skin and restore the face shape you were once familiar with.
.
Alternatively, Ulthera or HIFU treatment are non-invasive options that use powerful ultrasound energy to induce collagen production in the skin so that it naturally lifts and firms the skin over time.

Fixing Different Types of Aging: Type 3
Bony, Skinny Face with Volume Loss
.
Some people don’t sag as much when they become older. However, their faces look lean and haggard. As the aging becomes more advanced, the under eyes become hollow and cheeks are lost. Some people also experience sunken temples and lips become thinner, giving rise to a skeletonized appearance which is unappealing.
Solution: Loss of volume is very common because people lose facial fat and moisture over time. Thankfully for non-surgical aesthetic treatments, doctors are able to restore volume and contour the face using dermal fillers to replenish the skin’s own hyaluronic acid and collagen. Some fillers doctors like to use include Restylane, lifting dermal fillers like Radiesse, and bio-stimulating dermal fillers like Ellanse.
.
In the hands of an experienced injector, dermal fillers are highly versatile that can be used to perform the following treatments: filler for under eye, non-surgical facelift using dermal fillers, facial sculpting with dermal fillers, and even lip fillers to redefine them.
