Looking Tired
What’s behind that ‘tired’ look?
The impacts of looking tired can be significant. Looking tired, even when you feel fine, can affect your overall demeanour and how others perceive you. Fatigue, stress, lack of sleep, and aging can contribute to a tired appearance. Common signs of looking tired include dark circles under the eyes, hollowed cheeks, drooping eyebrows, and fine lines and wrinkles.
Fortunately, there are skin treatments available that can help you look fresh and vibrant. The best options are dermal fillers and botulinum toxin.
Two ways to avoid looking tired
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that add volume and restore youthful contours to the face. They can be used to address various concerns such as sunken cheeks, nasolabial folds, jowls, thinning lips, and hollowed under-eye areas. The most commonly used dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps retain moisture and add plumpness to the skin. When injected strategically, dermal fillers can replenish lost volume and smooth out wrinkles and lines, resulting in a fresher and more youthful appearance. The effects of treatments last several months to years.
Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox is a neurotoxic protein that temporarily paralyzes muscles, reducing their activity. Botulinum toxin is used to target wrinkles, which are caused by repeated facial muscle movements over time. These wrinkles commonly appear on the forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), and around the eyes (crow's feet). By relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for these wrinkles, botulinum toxin can soften their appearance, making the face appear more relaxed and rejuvenated. The effects of treatment last several months.
What else do I need to know?
Both dermal fillers and botulinum toxin treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime. An experienced, well trained cosmetic practitioner with a thorough understanding of facial anatomy will carefully assess your facial structure and customise the treatment to achieve natural-looking results.
The benefits of these skin treatments go beyond physical appearance. When you look more refreshed and vibrant, it can have a positive impact on your self-confidence and how you engage with others. Feeling good about your appearance can boost your overall mood and well-being.
It's important to note that while dermal fillers and botulinum toxin are generally safe, they should only be administered by trained cosmetic practitioners. Choosing a highly trained and experienced cosmetic practitioner reduces the risk of adverse events and gives you natural long lasting results.
