How Wrinkles and Frown Lines Can Reduce Confidence
There is an inaccurate stereotype out there that the only people who would seek aesthetic treatments for their faces are those who are vain or only concerned with their looks. In reality, their motivations often go much deeper than that. Our faces tell the world more than our age – they also convey our emotions and health, and wrinkles and frown lines can make it difficult for both us and other people to see the real us. For many people, developing wrinkles and frown lines can have a big impact on the way they feel about themselves, even affecting their mental health.
Lines and wrinkles can make us look (and therefore feel) unhealthy
Wrinkles, lines, and a dull skin tone can make us look tired, lacking in nutrition, and like we have not been getting enough rest, fresh air, or exercise. When we look unhealthy, it can affect the way we see ourselves and make us feel demotivated about maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Frown lines can affect our social lives
When our skin develops frown lines and wrinkles, it can prevent us from communicating our true emotions to the people around us. If our face appears to be frowning, worried, displeased, or even angry, people may misunderstand our attitude and be less inclined to approach or spend time with us.
Lines and wrinkles remind us that we are ageing
Of course, we all understand that we are ageing, and that life is not everlasting, but no one likes to be reminded of it every time they look in the mirror. With age, our facial skin not only wrinkles but can also lose plumpness, tightness, and even bone resorption. Aesthetic skin treatments can turn back the clock and help us to see ourselves as we are inside – still full of energy and optimism.
How aesthetic skin treatments can help
There are several anti ageing treatments that can significantly reduce the signs of ageing, including Botox, dermal fillers, and the injectable hyaluronic acid, Profhilo:
Botox
BOTOX (Botulinum toxin type ‘A’) is one of the most well-known and internationally trusted treatments for wrinkles and lines. Having been in use for over 20 years, it is an FDA-approved, injectable substance that relaxes the underlying muscles that cause wrinkles.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injected into the facial skin to boost its plumpness and youthful appearance as well as its elasticity. They can also be used to reshape the face.
Profhilo
Profhilo is a new development in the treatment of skin laxity, which involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin. It is suitable for use on the face, neck, and décolleté, providing weightless volume and improved tissue quality
The impact of anti-ageing treatments
Aesthetic treatments are not just about looks or vanity. Studies and surveys of people who have undergone anti-ageing treatments have found that they can have an impact on their self-esteem and confidence. They may feel more attractive but also more confident when meeting new people, happier about the future, and generally more accepting of themselves.
