Face

Though we treat an array of facial concerns, some are more common than others, resulting in a range of highly sought-after, effective treatments.

JOWLS/SAGGING JAWLINE

In youth, the fat pads in the cheeks are held high in the face by supple, firm skin, rich with collagen and elastin. At around the age of 30 the production of these elements rapidly diminishes, and the skin begins to sag. The fat pads lose saturation and are drawn down the face by gravity, gathering around the jawline and forming jowls. At So Medical Aesthetics, we offer treatments for both men and women that diminish jowls and restore the definition of your jawline.

TIRED EYES

One of the signs of ageing is loss of volume in the face. As we age the levels of collagen and elastin deplete, bone reabsorbs and muscles become lax. The underlying structure and the skin’s ability to hold the fat pads high under the eyes and in the cheeks weakens. Facial volume then moves towards the neck, the eye area is left looking tired and drawn, sometimes accompanied by bags under the eyes, wrinkles, hollows, dark circles, and crepey skin. Our eyes are one of the first things people notice about us, which is why many clients come to us to help rejuvenate the eye area, restoring a brighter, more youthful appearance.

LINES & WRINKLES

Lines and wrinkles develop uniquely in each of us, depending on genetics, skin type, facial structure, and repeated facial movements such as smiling or frowning. Though wrinkles can occur across the skin of the face due to loss of collagen in the skin, the creases which are caused by such movements are called dynamic lines, and tend to be far more exaggerated. At So Medical Aesthetics, we offer treatments for both men and women that smooth out dynamic lines and tighten and hydrate the skin.

DOUBLE CHIN

We all have stubborn pockets of fat that are hard to get rid of, no matter how much we exercise or how healthily we eat. These localised pockets of fat can be treated directly through the HIFU energy of Focus Dual® (for skin tightening and fat reduction) or injections of DesoFace – a next generation, industry leading treatment for dissolving pockets of fat that are resistant to normal methods of weight loss. Fat-dissolving injections can be used to target a wide array of areas, including:

  • Double chin
  • Fatty neck
  • Jowls

LIP LINES (SMOKER’S LINES)

As we age, the plump, full lips of youth can lose volume and develop various types of lines and wrinkles. Lip lines (also known as ‘smoker’s lines) usually form on the upper lip and the skin directly above it. These fine, vertical creases often spread right across the lip, and can ‘age’ a person’s appearance. At So Medical Aesthetics, we offer dermal filler treatment to add volume to and hydrate the lips with hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds water within the skin.

THIN LIPS

Not everyone is lucky enough to be blessed with full, shapely lips and a well-defined cupid’s bow. Thin lips are a simple matter of genetics for many, while others who enjoyed full lips in their youth might have lost volume through the ageing process. Either way, plump, well-contoured lips can be achieved through the placement of dermal fillers. At So Medical Aesthetics, we offer this treatment to add volume to and hydrate the lips with hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds water within the skin.
