Q At 72, I've been fortunate to not develop deep wrinkles. However over the previous few years the pores and skin on my cheeks has turn into crepey. I've tried firming lotions, however nothing works and it's it actually troublesome to use basis or blusher. Is there a non-surgical remedy?

Nevertheless, as we age, the breakdown of collagen within the pores and skin (often called elastosis) mixed with quantity loss within the face results in wrinkling and crepiness — most frequently on the cheeks.

Restoring the misplaced quantity within the cheeks is a technique of enhancing pores and skin high quality.

That is often finished with a hyaluronic acid filler to elevate the pores and skin from inside. It helps to clean and help the cheeks, so softening the crepiness.

You want just one remedy and there's little (if any) want for restoration time.

I counsel combining this remedy with fractional laser classes to enhance the floor texture as effectively. This creates 1000's of microscopic perforations, which induce rapid pores and skin tightening and stimulate new collagen progress.

After this remedy, there could also be swelling and redness for a day or so — relying on the ability of the laser. Additionally it is probably that one laser remedy is not going to be sufficient; typically three or 4 are wanted.

My recommendation could be to start out with restoring the amount loss and see how a lot it improves your pores and skin. It's potential this will likely be sufficient.

Charges for hyaluronic acid cheek fillers begin at £550; fractional laser is from £650.
