Today, we're discussing how to get a luscious jawline and also hand
rejuvenation.
Hello TLCer's. Okay so first things first, let's talk about the jawline and how we
can improve that. I'm sure you can guess what I'm going to say by now. We're gonna
use a combination of different sorts of injectables and then we are going to
have a look at someone's hands to see how we can improve signs of aging in the
backs of the hands. Going over to our patient you can see that she just has
this sort of dimple here on each side next to the chin, and that is just
unfortunately one of those things that happens as we get older. And the shape of
your face changes and you will see that you get a bit more of a jowl here. So
they're sort of related to each other. So people often come in and say oh I don't
like my jowl this bit here, but the jowl is caused by multiple different things.
And one of the reasons why your jowl looks worse is because this area here
becomes a little bit more concave. So we're going to improve that today we're
also going to add a bit of volume here, because you can see there's just a bit
of asymmetry and there's some volume loss next to the nose as well. You can
see that I mean overall she looks pretty great but I can just see that there's a
bit of room for improvement in the middle third of the face and in the
jawline specifically. So let's go ahead and do that. So the first thing that
we're going to do is use some Botox in the lower part of the face here. We're
treating a couple of muscles in the chin and in the jawline to stop this muscle
pull from making the jawline less sharp. The next thing that we're doing is using
some Radiesse along the jawline to the angle of the jaw with the cannula so
we're straightening up the whole thing right the way from the back to the front.
Radiesse is an interesting product I'm sure if
you see in the channel before we've spoken about it it's not a hyaluronic
acid dermal filler, it's made of calcium hydroxyapatite which is a different
component and this one it gives you more lift than using hyaluronic acid does. And
it also helps to give a crisper jawline. So sometimes when you use a hyaluronic
acid it can look a little bit boggy along the jawline but you don't get that
issue with Radiesse. The downsides of using Radiesse are there's initially more
swelling immediately after the patient's had the procedure. And you can't dissolve
it, so it's not for use in any kind of high risk areas like the lip or
underneath the eye you have to be pretty sure that both you and your patient know
what you're getting into before you use Radiesse. So we're using Radiesse here.
Now, we're going along the jawline pointing towards the chin again using a cannula.
That's just to blend the jowl in with the point of the chin just to make it
look stronger. And here you can see that we're using dermal filler with a cannula
to the base of the nose. So nose to mouth lines, let's just talk about that
for a second. A lot of people when they first come into the clinic say I want to
fill this, I want to fill my nose to mouth line and the problem is, if you
just fill that, it will look a bugger, it really will not look good. Because you
will look heavier. So you have to treat the cause right. So the cause is facial
deflation, so we treat the areas where you've lost the volume from in the face
and that's normally from the cheek but you can also lose volume just right
beneath the nose. So the hole that you know sits on in the in the skull it gets
bigger. And your nose falls back against the soft tissue of the nose, and falls back
against this ever-widening hole as we age and that makes your nose to mouth
line worse. So one of the ways to improve the facial contour is by injecting this
area here right underneath the nose. Now I won't lie, it's not a particularly nice
area to have injected it is a little bit sore, but it does make a big difference.
The next thing that we're going to do is use profihilo in the neck.
We've already spoken about profihilo before it's a
type of hyaluronic acid that when you inject it it spreads out underneath the
skin and its use as a bio stimulator, not as a filler. So she will look today like
she's got a lot of bumps on her neck afterwards and that will be gone after
about 12 to 24 hours. Normally with profiling you do maybe two
treatment sessions for a nice result. Okay so let's have a look at her before
and afters, now you can see that the contour of her cheek is greatly improved
in the afters. And she doesn't have as much shadowing, like here next to the
nose. So the nose to mouth line is improved afterwards too. She still does
have a bit of shadowing right underneath the cheek which is exactly what you want.
So as I've said before people often say if I fill this area here is it gonna
look like I haven't got any cheekbones anymore. I don't want a fat face, well
yeah she hasn't got a fat face she's got a lovely smooth contour there and she
still does have a bit of shadow underneath the the cheekbone but in the
right way. That's what it's all about guys, you have to do it in the right way
the next thing that is improved is this little divot that she's got here on
either side I mean you know she still has a little bit of one to an extent
probably if we saw her again we can improve that further but I think she's
got a nice improvement there so let's talk about hands now so hands are an
area that I think a lot of people don't realize that we can treat. So you know as
we age we lose volume and fat in every part of the body including on the backs
of the hands and they can look quite skeletal so you can see all the tendons
and the veins coming through because there's not as much fat in there as they
used to be. So one of the things that we can do is use dermal filler in the back
of the hands to disguise that. Let's take a look. You can see here we're using some
dermal filler with a cannula and we're going quite deep here
just laying down a thin layer of hyaluronic acid underneath the skin to give
some general support. The next thing that we're going to do is layer that, so
I'm using some more superficial dermal filler over the top of that to give some
direct improvement on the quality of the tissue.
If you having hand treatment done and your hands are not in the best state and
you have quite a bit done in one go, you would probably get some bruising on the
back of the hands. But thankfully it's not as easy to see on the back of the
hand as it is on the face. Unfortunately we haven't seen her again yet for the
after pictures of her hands but as soon as she comes in I will let you know. Okay
guys that's it for this week, I hope you enjoyed the video if you have had any
hand treatment yourself before, and you'd like to let me know what you thought
about it, please just add a comment in the comment sections below. In the
