Beyond Just Wrinkles – A Holistic Approach to Skin Rejuvenation
When we think about anti-ageing treatments, the first thing that often comes to mind is tackling wrinkles. While softening lines is certainly a key part of looking refreshed, true ageing gracefully goes far beyond just smoothing creases. Our faces tell a story, and as we get older, it’s not just lines that appear; we also experience changes in skin quality, volume loss, and shifting contours.
I embrace a holistic approach to skin rejuvenation. This means looking at your face as a whole and understanding that the most natural and impactful results often come from combining different, complementary treatments to achieve overall facial harmony and long-term skin health.
Why a Holistic Approach? The Complexities of Ageing
Ageing isn’t a single process; it’s multifaceted:
- Lines and Wrinkles: Caused by repetitive muscle movements (dynamic wrinkles, like frown lines) and collagen breakdown (static wrinkles).
- Volume Loss: Particularly in the mid-face (cheeks), temples, and around the jawline, leading to a flatter appearance and the descent of tissues.
- Skin Quality Decline: Reduced collagen and elastin production results in dullness, laxity, fine lines, and a loss of that youthful glow.
- Contour Changes: The jawline can lose definition, and jowls may appear as supporting structures weaken.
Treating just one aspect in isolation can lead to an unbalanced or unnatural result. For instance, filling a deep line without addressing underlying volume loss in the cheek might not achieve the desired lift or harmony.
Combining Treatments for Comprehensive Rejuvenation
This is where the true art and science of modern aesthetics come into play. By strategically combining different treatments, I can address multiple signs of ageing simultaneously, leading to beautifully natural and comprehensive rejuvenation.
Here’s how we might combine treatments
Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox®) for Dynamic Lines:
Purpose: To relax specific facial muscles, softening frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. This prevents dynamic wrinkles from deepening and becoming static.
In a holistic plan: Botox creates a smooth canvas, making other treatments more effective and preventing future creasing. It addresses the upper face.
Dermal Fillers (JUVÉDERM®) for Volume Loss & Contouring:
Purpose: Made from hyaluronic acid, fillers replace lost volume in areas like the cheeks, temples, or chin. They can also define features like the jawline and lips, and soften deeper folds like nasolabial lines.
In a holistic plan: Fillers restore youthful contours and support the skin, subtly lifting and refining the lower and mid-face. They work in harmony with Botox to create a lifted, refreshed appearance.
Collagen Skin Booster (Profhilo®) for Overall Skin Quality:
Purpose: This innovative injectable delivers high concentrations of hyaluronic acid across broader areas of the face (or neck/body) to deeply hydrate, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and improve overall skin texture, tone, and luminosity. It doesn’t volumise like traditional fillers.
In a holistic plan: Profhilo addresses the fundamental health and glow of the skin, acting as a ‘skin conditioner’. It complements fillers by improving the skin’s canvas, making it firmer and more radiant from within.
Collagen Biostimulator (HarmonyCa®) for Lift, Volume & Long-Term Collagen:
Purpose: A revolutionary hybrid injectable containing both hyaluronic acid (for immediate lift and volume) and Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres (to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production over time).
In a holistic plan: HarmonyCa provides immediate gratification with volume while simultaneously working on long-term skin quality improvement. It’s ideal for areas needing both lifting and a natural boost in collagen for sustained results, often complementing other treatments for a truly comprehensive rejuvenation.
