Facial Contouring & Volumising
We can restore volume loss and sculpt the face and cheeks as well as hydrating the skin.
As we age the face loses volume, causing us to perceive our face as sagging or drooping. A simple way of restoring this lost volume is with the use of dermal fillers or collagen-stimulating products.
When the skin's elasticity declines dramatically, the effects of gravity become all too evident. Gravity causes the tip of the nose to droop, the ears to elongate, the eyelids to fall, jowls to form, and the upper lip to disappear while the lower lip becomes more pronounced. We can restore Volume loss and sculpt the face and cheeks as well as Hydrating the skin.
Non-surgical procedures are quickly gaining in popularity as a means of improving facial appearance by restoring the three-dimensional contour of the face without the need for surgery. The cheeks nasolabial lines and marionette lines can be treated to generate a lifting effect, a look that is instantly rejuvenating, attractive and natural in appearance, this is also known as The Y-Lift.
The Y-Lift is a procedure designed to enhance the normal contour of the cheek and produce a non-surgical lift of the mid-face. The Y-Lift is achieved by using dermal fillers such as Restylane Sub-Q & Juvederm Voluma, this has immediate results and very little down time. This technique works best in the 40-65 year-old age group.
