Starting in the industry one of the common remarks I would hear from clients is feeling they were past it or that they had left it too late, to which I would reply this is just untrue!
Granted once we experience the advanced ageing phase there has to be a frank discussion revolved around realistic expectations however it is certainly not too late to try some clever and well thought out procedures by medical professionals who will understand your anatomy and the phases of ageing. They can talk to you about treatments available and tricks of the trade so to speak that can knock years off but not decades that's all. We have to keep it real.
A little secret that I do time and again for someone with ageing concerns is treatment for the cheeks and marionettes, we could consider a subtle volume in the lips too. These feminising procedures restore the volume we likely once had as well as give you a freshen up. My clients report that they feel great afterwards, fresher and more youthful.
The thing about ageing which just sucks is that we shrink underneath our skin but the damn skin doesn't too much. This leaves us with a sag, crepeyness and all of the pleasantries (such lovely names too). The clever things with Dermal Fillers is that they volumise underneath your skin aka restore!! At every consultation this is something I go over with clients to ensure you understand this so you can make informed decisions.

I believe age is a blessing, feel proud to make it to the wiser years, life is a blessing, we don'y all get there. Enjoy it how you would like to. Care less about what others think of you. If you want to try something and it niggles at you, just do it as most of the time you don't regret it. There is nothing wrong with having tweakments at any age. If anything I find it much more healthy treating the older client as you can make a much more informed decision and the treatments are often justified. Research the hell out of things before you decide. Check out examples of clinicians work, see if you align with them. Get excited because the day you start investing in yourself (through any means) is a good day! You bloody deserve it.
