The upper face

Lines that come from expression: the brows lifting, the frown, the smile. Mostly a Botox story.

01 · Lines on the forehead

Lines across my forehead, even when I’m not raising my brows.

Horizontal forehead lines come from the frontalis muscle lifting the brows thousands of times a day. Botox softens the muscle so the lines stop deepening; a skin booster lifts the ones already etched in.

02 · The “11” between the brows

Two lines between my eyebrows that make me look angry.

The glabellar or “11” lines are made by the frown muscles. Botox is the first and usually the only treatment; a little soft filler is added only if a groove stays when the face is fully relaxed.

03 · Lines around the eyes

Lines fanning out from the corners of my eyes when I smile.

Crow’s feet are a smiling muscle at work. A small dose of Botox softens them while keeping your smile; polynucleotides improve the thin, crepey skin itself.

1 concerns

The eyes

Hollows, thin skin and shadows. The most delicate area, and the one most often done badly elsewhere.

04 · Dark circles, hollow or tired eyes

I look tired even after a good night’s sleep.

Usually a hollow under the eye, thin skin, or both. A hollow is filled with a tiny amount of soft filler by cannula; thin skin is thickened with Salmon DNA over three sessions. Puffiness is never treated with filler.

2 concerns

The mouth

Lips and the lines beside them. Small amounts, your own shape.

05 · Thin or uneven lips

My lips are thin, or one side is fuller than the other.

Lip filler, placed in small amounts to keep the shape yours: a defined border, a little volume, symmetry. Dr. Sara never does more than one syringe in a visit.

06 · Lines from the nose to the mouth

Deep lines from my nose to the corners of my mouth.

Nasolabial folds are usually caused by the cheek dropping, not by the fold itself. Supporting the cheek with filler or a biostimulator lifts the fold; a little filler in the fold finishes it.

3 concerns

Jaw, chin and neck

Where the face loses its line first, and where a wide jaw or a double chin can be softened without surgery.

07 · Jowls or a soft jawline

My jawline has gone soft and my lower face is drifting down.

After 35 the skin thins and the fat pads slide. A biostimulator (Radiesse, Sfera, PLLA) rebuilds the skin’s firmness over months; firm filler along the jaw and chin gives the line back.

08 · A wide or square jaw, teeth grinding

My face looks square, or I grind my teeth at night.

A large masseter (chewing) muscle widens the lower face and grinds the teeth. Botox in the masseter slims the jaw over two months and stops the grinding.

UsuallyBotox
09 · A double chin

Fullness under my chin that doesn’t go with diet.

If it is soft, pinchable fat: fat-dissolving injections in two to four sessions. If it is loose skin: a biostimulator. If the chin itself is weak: a little chin filler does more than either.

2 concerns

The skin itself

Not a line and not a volume: the quality of the surface. Boosters, polynucleotides and patience.

10 · Dull, dry or crepey skin

My skin looks dull and tired, and make-up sits in fine lines.

Skin boosters (Profhilo, Jalupro, RRS) hydrate from inside and tighten; Salmon DNA repairs thin, reactive skin. Two or three sessions, then a top-up every six months.

11 · Acne scars and redness

Old acne scars and skin that flushes easily.

Polynucleotides calm inflammation and rebuild the skin where scars have thinned it. Combined with careful peels, scars soften over a course of three sessions.

2 concerns

Hair and body

Two worries that have nothing to do with wrinkles, and two treatments that work quietly.

12 · Thinning hair or hair loss

My hair is thinner than it was, or it’s falling out after my pregnancy.

Blood tests first (iron, vitamin D, thyroid). Then hair mesotherapy, PRP or GCELL to wake up sleepy follicles and thicken regrowth, four to six monthly sessions.

13 · Excessive sweating

I sweat through my clothes, or my palms are always damp.

Botox in the sweaty area switches the glands off for six to nine months. Underarms, palms, scalp and upper lip all respond.

2 concerns

Moments

A date on the calendar, or no idea where to start. Both begin with a consultation, not a syringe.

14 · Getting married

I’m getting married and I want to look like myself, rested.

A dated plan working back from the wedding: structure and skin first, Botox at six to eight weeks, nothing new in the last month.

15 · Not sure what I need

Something has changed in my face and I can’t say what.

That is the most common sentence in the clinic. A consultation with Dr. Sara looks at the whole face in motion and tells you honestly what, if anything, would help, with no obligation to treat.
