A sagging face is one of the most obvious signs of the passage of time. Read the article to find out how to eliminate it immediately, safely and permanently.
Droopy, flattened and hollow cheeks are one of the main ways the passing years manifest themselves. The result is a tired and aged appearance that many individuals struggle to live with, and which may negatively affect their self-esteem.
This phenomenon is linked to the physiological ageing process, and it results from a combination of factors. These include a reduction of subcutaneous fat tissue, bone thinning, and the loss of the body’s naturally produced collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid content.
In this article, we will see how hyaluronic acid can help you regain a fresh and harmonious face, with immediate and natural results.
There are many solutions to improve face appearance, with varying degrees of invasiveness, visibility, and duration of results.
We are talking about a face lift, an invasive surgical procedure not without risks. You should also bear in mind that potential errors may be difficult to repair, and the results may appear artefactual, giving a ‘plastic’ appearance.
Among the less invasive options face there are topical treatments based on retinoids or peptides, which can stimulate collagen and improve skin elasticity. However, the results of these products on sagging cheeks are limited and require constant use over time.
Concerning aesthetic medicine, treatments such as radiofrequency, fractional laser and micro-needling work by stimulating collagen production (the protein that supports the skin). However, these techniques require several sessions to obtain visible results, and are not ideal for sensitive skin types.
Some of the most effective non-invasive solutions to combat a sagging face include are hyaluronic acid fillers, which restore lost volume in a natural and safe way.
Before delving into how a sagging face changes with a cheek filler, let us take a brief look at of hyaluronic.
This substance is naturally present in the body, and integrates perfectly into the skin tissues, retaining large amounts of water and stimulating the natural production of collagen.
Injected in the form of a transparent jelly through very fine needles onto the area to be treated, hyaluronic acid provides an immediate lifting effect. The HA filler reduces sagging cheeks, restores volume and redefines facial contours.
The transformation will be significant and immediately visible.
Before the treatment, the cheeks appear hollow, the contours less defined, and the face appears tired and aged. After the treatment, the cheeks will look fuller and more defined, facial contours will be more sculpted and the entire face will appear younger and fresher.
It is important to highlight how, besides boosting the face’s volume and firmness, HA fillers also improve skin texture, by making it more hydrated.
When it comes to lifting the face, the first thing to do is to consult a doctor specialised in aesthetic medicine. The specialist will perform a thorough assessment of the patient’s facial structure, needs and goals.
Taking into account the individual anatomy and the severity of the sagging, the specialist will then decide on the degree of viscosity of the hyaluronic acid, and the quantity and depth of the injections to be performed.
As we said, cheek filler results will be immediately visible, without upsetting the patient’s look in an unnatural way. The duration will vary between 6 and 9 months, depending on the type of product used and individual metabolism.
The success of the result, as well as the duration and safety of the treatment, are closely linked to the quality of the hyaluronic acid used and the competence of the person performing the treatment. If these two conditions are met, the risks of side effects are very low.
We have seen how hyaluronic acid fillers are an effective, immediate and lasting solution to aesthetic problems on the face.
However, it is essential that the treatment is performed by a specialist in aesthetic medicine and that the HA used is of the highest quality. Quality that is closely related to the hyaluronic acid production process.
