Fillers

The Role of Fillers in 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond

When you’re in your mid-thirties, you may start to notice a decrease in volume in your face, leading to a gaunt or tired appearance. A small amount of filler in areas like the temples, under the eyes, and lips can create a significantly positive effect. Keep in mind that fillers do not completely disappear; they can accumulate over time.

While Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections are generally considered safe, they can carry risks such as lumpiness, nodules, and filler extrusion. The likelihood of these complications varies based on the specific HA product used and the individual’s skin and goals.

Mid 40s

As you reach your mid-forties and beyond, the natural aging process can lead to sagging. As the mid-face begins to drop, it can create the illusion of lost volume, with cheeks descending and jowls becoming more prominent. While you might feel inclined to request more filler during this time, it’s essential to understand that simply adding more filler will not resolve all signs of aging.

A targeted approach with a modest amount of filler injections is preferable to avoid the exaggerated “filler look” characterized by features like duck lips, swollen cheeks, or an unusually square jaw. We’ve all seen those results!

The 60s

In your sixties and beyond, there are limited studies on the effectiveness of fillers. A combination approach, incorporating both fillers and other rejuvenating facial treatments, is recommended to effectively address facial sagging.

Combining topical peptides with injectable procedures like Botox can significantly enhance your skin’s appearance. This approach leads to quick improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture, and also offers long-term benefits in areas not directly treated by injections.
This effective combination works by nourishing and strengthening your skin over time with peptides, while Botox provides fast, targeted results for expression lines.
