Month: June 2025

Should we wait for the appearance of wrinkles? Or is it better to start earlier, when the skin is still smooth and toned? There is no universal age. What matters is the moment when one begins to notice a gap between the image in the mirror and what one feels. But certain markers can help clarify things.

Before 30: prevent without transforming

At this age, the skin is still dense, natural elasticity is well present, and collagen is abundant. However, certain marked expressions, chronic dehydration, or stressful lifestyle habits can leave some traces.
This is often where what is called “gentle prevention” begins. A few targeted, discreet gestures to deeply hydrate, smooth without freezing, support the tissues without weighing them down. The goal is not to change, but to preserve.
Should it be done if everything seems to be going well? Not necessarily. But when an area starts to attract attention — a wrinkle, a loss of radiance, a tired look — a subtle approach can be enough to restore balance.

Between 30 and 40 years old: correcting the first signs

The contours of the face evolve. The volumes begin to shift gently, and the expression lines settle more permanently. It’s not yet a radical change, but rather a series of small, imperceptible shifts.
At this stage, aesthetic medicine can play a very precise role. We often talk about “refreshing”: restoring hydration, restarting collagen synthesis, softening marked areas. Nothing set in stone, nothing rigid. Just enough to erase the signs that no longer reflect what we feel inside.
Is it too late if we haven’t done anything before? No. The right moment is when the approach makes sense for you.

After 40: restoring balance

The deep structures begin to sag a little. The oval blurs, the cheekbones flatten, the lips lose definition. This is where we talk about restoration: giving back volume, restoring harmonious lines, recreating coherent architecture.
This does not mean that everything needs to be treated. On the contrary. An expert eye can suggest targeted, progressive gestures, tailored to each morphology. We aim to restore brightness, soften contrasts, and reintroduce gentleness in the features.

After 50: enhance while respecting expression

It’s not the age that matters, but the momentum. Many women (and men) take the plunge at 55 or 60, with the sole desire to “find themselves.” It’s no longer a question of wrinkles, but of overall harmony.
Current techniques allow for a natural result, without excess, without tension. The goal is not to look 20 years younger, but to reflect who you are today, with freshness and coherence.

The ideal age?

The one where you feel that something has changed. The one where you feel like acting, without betraying yourself. That precise moment when one decides that the face one shows deserves to be aligned with the one one feels.

Over time, certain areas of the face become more pronounced than others. It is often this imbalance – these small hollows, these shadows, or these localized tensions – that give an impression of fatigue or aging. But then, where to intervene to restore freshness without freezing the features or disrupting the expression?

Restore volume to the cheekbones

Skin sagging often begins with a loss of structure in the cheekbones. This loss of volume has a domino effect: the cheeks sag, the grooves deepen, the face appears less dynamic. By restoring volume to this area, we lift the oval and provide support to the rest of the face. The result is subtle, but often very telling.
Is that always where you should start? Not necessarily, but in many cases, restoring the mid-volume can be enough to rejuvenate the entire face.

Reduce nasolabial folds

These lines that start from the wings of the nose and descend to the corners of the mouth are among the first to deepen. They can give a severe or sad impression, even when one feels perfectly fine. This hollowing is often accentuated by the descent of the upper tissues. That’s why, before filling them directly, their connection with the loss of volume in the cheekbones is often assessed.
When the grooves persist, a targeted correction can soften them without stiffening the features. The key here is the gentleness of the gesture and respect for proportions.

Smooth the valley of tears

Under the eyes, this delicate area – called the tear valley – can give a permanently tired appearance. Even after a good night’s sleep, these shadows remain, like an unfortunate reflection of stress or the passage of time.
A light filler smooths the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek. The gaze appears more rested, more luminous. Sometimes, that is enough to change the overall impression left at first glance.

Rebalance the lips

Rejuvenating a face also means paying attention to the mouth. Not just by trying to increase the volume, but by restoring the contours, rehydrating the mucosa, and redefining the Cupid’s bow. The mouth, with its constant movements and delicacy, undergoes the effects of time with great sensitivity.
A well-measured treatment allows for the restoration of suppleness and freshness, without caricature. The goal is not to transform, but to restore harmony.

Can everything be done in a single session?

Not always. Each face has its own story. Some treatments can be done in one session, while others are better spaced out to give the tissues time to adapt. The approach is gradual, tailored, adjusted to the dynamics of each individual.

The art of correcting without freezing

What makes one look young is not the complete absence of wrinkles, but overall coherence: an expressive face, well-placed volumes, a luminous gaze. Correcting one area should never be done at the expense of the whole. That is why a good treatment plan will always prioritize coherence over perfection.
What to start with? Where the gaze first settles. Where you no longer quite recognize yourself. Where a slight correction will give the face its own version back, just a little more rested.
