Facial Contouring

Although surgery is the most effective facial contouring method, not everyone wants to take this step, or have something permanently changed. Non-surgical options are now available for common conditions. They allow changes to occur safely, naturally ¡V and even gradually!

Cheek Enhancement for Hollow Cheeks
As we get older, we start to lose the fat underneath the skin on our face. This may create a tired or gaunt look. To gain a more youthful appearance, VOLUME REPLACEMENT is essential. What is known as cheek enhancement lessens the furrows around the nose and creates a lifting effect on the cheeks. Transferring fat from other parts of the body to the face is a good surgical option, but some people may prefer a less extensive procedure using dermal fillers like Restylane. Restylane lasts about 6-12 months and gives you freedom of choice. Treatments can be repeated as necessary, allowing the gradual approach.

Enhancement of Lips, Nose and Chin
Restylane can be used to restore the natural, soft fullness of lips. It can also be used to augment the nasal bridge and chin to streamline facial contours and create more proportion. Unlike surgical implants, Restylane is completely natural on skin. It last for 6-12 months, offering flexibility.

Slimming of Square Faces
Square faces are common in the Asian population. This is often caused by a strong and bulky jaw muscle. BOTOX® can be used to reduce the size of this muscle to create a slimmer, more youthful contour.

THERMAGE®
Gravity takes it toll on the facial contours. The cheeks are no longer as high-set as before, nasolabial folds (furrows aound the nose) are getting deeper, the jaw line is not as distinct with jowls may set in and the eyelids appear heavier. THERMAGE® offers a safe, clinically-proven way to tighten and contour skin. THERMAGE® is completely non-invasive -- no surgery, no injections. A single treatment gives results that last for years. Not only is the coutour lifted, texture and wrinkles are also improved as THERMAGE increases the collagen content in the skin.
