With the party season fast approaching, now’s the time to start planning the aesthetic treatments that ensure you look picture-perfect and festive-ready. And, if you’re looking for the ultimate return on your investment, consider combining aesthetic treatments to elevate your results.
The beauty of cosmetic medicine is that it is so adaptable. We have solutions for almost every concern now, and certain treatments work like a dream when combined.
“The future of aesthetics is a personalised, bespoke approach,” explains Karidis Clinic’s Dr Emily. “Typically, there might be more than one contributing factor to a patient’s specific aesthetic concern. Combining several treatment modalities to target different root causes results in a better and longer-lasting outcome.”
Face forward with lip fillers and Polynucleotides
Eye scanning studies have shown that the eyes and lips are the prime areas of focus on the face, and that’s particularly true when you’re getting up close and personal. They are also the first areas to show fatigue and dehydration at this time of the year, whether due to the change in weather or the rigours of the party season.
Lip filler treatments are not just about creating a fuller lip. Patients looking for a subtle lip rejuvenation can opt for a highly fluid, stretchy dermal filler called RHA1, which gives subtle lip hydration rather than volumisation.
Polynucleotide treatment improves skin quality on a cellular level and can be used to hydrate the skin, treat dark under-eye circles, and smooth fine lines.
“Patients should start this protocol now to be ready and refreshed for the festive season. Lip filler results are immediate, but it’s best to plan them at least a week before a big event,” explains Dr Emily. “Polynucleotides results take slightly longer, and visible skin improvement can take a few weeks.”
A snatched jawline with Profhilo Structura and Ultherapy
Thanks to TikTok, a sculpted, well-defined jawline has become one of the most striking, most sought-after features of the human face. It’s also a key indicator of age, both perceived and actual. As we grow older, the natural shifts in facial anatomy, combined with the constant pull of gravity, often result in the development of jowls. Fortunately, there are effective ways to restore a youthful, refined jawline.
Profhilo Structura is a new treatment that targets ageing in a unique way. It is injected into the subcutaneous layer, targeting the dynamic superficial fat pads between the skin, connective tissue, muscle and deeper fat layers. High concentrations of hyaluronic acid activate the adipose fat cells to function more effectively. By improving the structural support, Profhilo Structura induces a subtle and natural rejuvenation of the lower face and jawline.
Ultherapy is the leading non-surgical skin tightening treatment that stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. The underlying tissue is heated with focused ultrasound, triggering the body’s natural production of collagen in that area without any downtime.
Ultherapy is the only ultrasound device that is FDA-approved for lifting and tightening the skin on the jawline and beneath the chin.
“The beauty of Ultherapy and Profhilo Structura is they target ageing changes to the face in totally different ways and can be performed at the same time with no impact on the efficacy of either treatment,” explains Dr Emily. “This makes them perfect for this time of year when our social calendars are fast filling up.”
Rejuvenating the midface with skin boosters and dermal fillers
The midface is one of the earliest areas to reveal signs of ageing, significantly impacting the face’s overall appearance. Ageing affects this region in four primary ways – the descent of tissues, changes in skin quality, loss of facial fat, and a shrinking of facial bone volume – which is why a bespoke approach is typically required.
Cheek fillers are particularly effective in this area as they restore the more youthful, rounded contours associated with youth and induce a subtle lift to the lower face to improve nasolabial folds and a softening jawline.
“It is important to be aware, though,” warns Dr Emily, “that dermal fillers won’t address skin quality. I often recommend combining dermal fillers with the skin booster Redensity 1. It contains key ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins to provide deep hydration, promote cell renewal, and contribute to overall skin health.”
