The Beauty of Change
As women, our skin tells our story of laughter, life, and love. But as we move through our late 30s and 40s, hormonal shifts, especially in perimenopause, can bring new challenges such as dryness, fine lines, dullness, and volume loss.
The good news is that modern aesthetic treatments can support your skin through these changes, helping you feel refreshed and confident, not “done,” just the best version of you.
Microneedling: Reawakening Collagen
Microneedling is a collagen-boosting treatment that restores firmness and glow. It helps soften lines, improve texture, and give the skin a more youthful bounce. A course of three treatments a month apart can kick start the skins collagen and elastin production for more healthy and radiant skin.
Polynucleotides: Repair and Regenerate
These are the next generation of skin rejuvenation. Polynucleotides encourage your skin to heal and hydrate from within and are ideal for the fragile skin under the eye. They work by stimulating the fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin production, improving elasticity, tone, and texture, perfect for skin that feels tired, discoloured, or dehydrated.
Upper and Lower Face Botox: A Softer, Lifted Look
Strategically placed Botox relaxes overactive muscles to smooth lines and can subtly lift areas like the brows, neck, and jawline. The Nefertiti neck lift with botox prevents the platysmal muscles in the neck from pulling downwards on the face, and some strategically place botox in the DAO(Depressor Anguli Oris) muscles, which pull down the corners of the mouth making you appear sad, can make a huge difference in lightening your facial features. It's all about looking well-rested and refreshed, not altered.
Dermal Fillers: Restoring Harmony and Support
As we age, we naturally lose facial fat pads and bone structure, especially around the cheeks and temples. Dermal fillers gently replace this lost support, restoring youthful contours while maintaining a natural, soft look. When carefully administered they can provide balance and subtly improve your appearance, never over-done!
