Through the Ages: How to Hold Back the Signs of Aging in Sydney
Almost every woman vividly remembers the first time she noticed fine lines creeping up in her eye area, across her forehead or at the corner of the mouth. Men are not immune to feeling distressed over the initial signs of aging either. Men tend to feel uncomfortable with a slowly receding hairline or developing bags under the eyes.
How does facial skin age decade by decade?
The process begins to show on your face as early as in your thirties. The following list breaks down what to expect by decade and corrective procedures Dr. Damien Marucci may recommend.
What skin changes start to occur in a patient’s 30s?
Eyes
Upper eyelids will gradually appear more hooded. Lower lids will puff or sag and become more prominent. Fine lines will surface and become noticeable.
Solution: This is the perfect time to optimize the best medical grade skincare products and quality sunscreen. For eyelid correction, consider Fraxel or Thermage. Early lines and wrinkles respond well to Dysport or Botox.
Forehead
Faint brow or frown lines appear between the eyes and lower forehead.Solution: Light Botox treatment or Dysport with hinder deepening lines. Consider light laser treatment or a light chemical peel for the whole face to encourage collagen production.
Mouth and Lips
Fine lines develop at the outer corners of the mouth or surrounding the lips.
Solution: Light fillers like Restylane or Juvederm will help lift early sagging corners.
What facial aging signs should be expected in the 40s?
Eyes
All eyelids start to sag and take on a deep-set look. With the 40s comes the development of crow’s feet.
Solution: Continue the best possible skin care regime and daily sunscreen. Along with aforementioned eyelid treatments, consider CO2 laser treatments or a dermal filler around the eyes.
Forehead
Lines deepen and horizontal wrinkles become noticeable.
Solution: Botox injections for frown lines and forehead will halt further deepening. To increase collagen and reverse sun damage, try Fraxel laser therapy or IPL (intense pulse light) treatments.
Mouth, Jaw, and Lips
Lines deepen around the lips and additional wrinkles appear or become more prominent.
Solution: Fillers will effectively correct parentheses-type lines around the mouth and plumpen lines in the upper lip. Laser treatments or Thermage for the whole face will tighten aging skin.
What cosmetic procedures are most effective for patients in their 50s?
Cheeks
Pouches may form resulting in cheek sagging.
Solution: Continue an optimal skin care and sunscreen regimen. Dr. Marucci may recommend Restylane around the eyes to address pouches. Other dermal fillers may add volume to sunken in cheeks. Other options include laser wrinkle treatment, a facelift, or eyelid surgery.
Forehead
Horizontal lines are well defined and forehead skin sags.
Solution: Consider Botox for horizontal lines and the fractionated CO2 laser for lines and wrinkles.
Mouth
Lines appear and deepen around lips while wrinkling becomes more prominent.
Solution: Fillers like Restylane or Juvederm and fractionated CO2 laser treatment are effect treatments for patient’s in their 50s in Sydney.
Eyes
Sagging eyebrows make eyelids appear heavy and hooded.
Solution: Botox, Thermage or Restylane are great ways to aggressively attack these issues. Eyelid surgery is a more invasive option that Dr. Marucci may recommend for patients.
Jaw
A saggy jawline may cause the appearance of jowls.
Solution: Sculptra will add volume to cheeks and reposition the skin. Liposuction will remove fat pads. A lower facelift may be worth considering at this age.
Regardless if a woman is determined to not let an aging physical appearance control her life, the first sight of a wrinkle can steal her joy. It tells a story she might not want to be told. The aging process cannot be stopped, but cosmetic facial procedures in Sydney can help slow down or reverse some of the dreaded effects.
