AGING PROCESS
Aging of the face can start as early as 20 years old and continues throughout one's life. It is unique to each individual and genetics play an important role in the way the face ages. The things that typically could happen are:
“When you’re younger, facial features are defined and well contoured. We call this the triangle of youth, as you get older, the triangle becomes inverted.”
Ageing isn’t just about the lines and wrinkles on your face. It also occurs beneath the skin. Signs of ageing exist at every layer of the facial structure, including skin, fat pads, muscles and bone.
-
As we age, we experience a loss of facial glands, collagen and elastin. This can greatly reduce the moisture in our skin, which results in the development of laugh lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. It also causes increased discolouration and a rougher texture.
-
Fat pads: These are located below the skin’s surface. With age, some of these get thinner and descend whilst some accumulate and become heavy. This causes drooping skin, deep lines around the nose and mouth, jowls and a double chin.
-
The bones are the foundation for your facial muscles, fat pads and skin. As you age, you experience facial bone loss, which changes the dimensions and contour of your face.
