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.
