Lower Face & Chin Treatments in South Africa

Lower Face and Chin

Our lower faces are highly dynamic, with the mouth and chin constantly moving as we talk. This range of movement allows us to express complex thoughts and emotions, to smile subtly and to laugh wholeheartedly.

However, time and harsh environments can leave their mark on our lower faces. With injectable fillers, you can address a tired appearance, the development of marionette lines, and much more.

The Effects of Ageing on the Lower Face and Chin

Natural compounds including collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin help to give young skin its full and firm appearance. From our twenties onwards, production of these compounds steadily decreases, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness and the formation of wrinkles. During our thirties and forties, dynamic wrinkles appear in areas that regularly move, while static wrinkles appear elsewhere.

Nasolabial folds (smile lines) form between the nose and mouth. Wrinkles may develop at the corner of the mouth, and pronounced ‘marionette’ lines may develop between the edge of the mouth and chin.

Meanwhile, bone loss in the chin may lead to a loss of facial definition and contours. Exposure to harsh sunlight has a cumulative effect that becomes especially apparent in the forties and fifties. Cosmetic procedures can help restore your youthful appearance.

Aesthetic Treatments for the Lower Face and Chin

Dermal fillers, collagen boosters, and skin boosters are three potential treatments to consider for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and restoring lost volume to the lower face and chin.

Filling-style dermal fillers can reduce lines and wrinkles, such as a nasolabial fold (smile line) and marionette lines (laugh lines). When placed in the deeper layers of the skin, fillers provide a consistency that is soft, yet firm enough to provide volume and shape.

You can use a chin filler to improve your facial structure. Lifting-style dermal fillers can enhance and maintain facial shape, angles, and contours. They can help compensate for the effect that bone loss in the chin has on appearance.

Collagen stimulators contain a biodegradable substance that, when injected into the deeper layers of the skin, helps stimulate the skin’s own natural collagen production, improving its inner structure. They may be used on smile lines, laugh lines, chin wrinkles, and more.

Skin boosters, meanwhile, are used to increase hydration in areas that feel dry, that have lost elasticity, or where fine lines and wrinkles have started to appear. They may be used on fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
