HEALTH & BEAUTY
First the bad news: The combination of think skin and repetitive movements (laughing, squinting) leads to fine lines, puffiness, dark circles and sagginess. Here’s the good news: You can fix it! We’ve sat down with Dr. Kate Jameson, Cosmetic Physician and the Medical Director of Youth Lab, Australia’s newest medical aesthetics clinic, on the newest approaches to repair, rejuvenate, and enhance your appearance. HOW DO COSMETIC INJECTABLES WORK? Cosmetic injectables are generally classified into dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, collagen stimulators and fat dissolving injections. Dermal fillers work by replacing lost volume, mimicking fat and bone, and by filling in lines and folds by re-volumising the skin. The most common type of dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring sugar found within our skin. It is a gel which is made in different consistencies meaning we can use it in almost any part of the face - from lip enhancement, cheekbone enhancement, jawline sculpting and tear trough rejuvenation.
