Are You Tired of Being Asked How Tired You Are?

Have others been asking more about how you feel lately? Do they seem worried you are going through a tough time or depressed? They may be showing genuine concern, but you feel fine. And it’s frustrating to be asked the same thing repeatedly. It’s not their fault, nor is it yours. It could be due to new changes in your skin.Botox procedure in San Mateo, Burlingame, and Foster City

If you’re a woman, you may have noticed and tried some new makeup techniques. Contouring and using different shades to create highlights and more lightness. It’s true facial creams, sticks, and powders can help even out skin tone and add definition. What it can’t do is fix the underlying lines that are deepening around the mouth, eyes, and forehead. And those issues will be more apparent in harsh lighting. Certain lighting can make people look more tired and older. Fluorescent bulbs are notorious for making our skin appear dull. Harsh lighting can change the shadows and light, making facial lines appear deeper, resulting in a more tired appearance

And no one can constantly control the lighting they are in! When contouring with makeup isn’t getting results, it’s time to review the contouring effect of injectables like Juvederm.

Juvederm for Facial Contouring isn’t a Magic Trick, it’s Real Science.

Today’s makeup tricks, designed to manipulate shadow and light, are great for the first layer of the skin. A discolored patch can be easily blended to match a glow applied to the rest of the face. But deep lines require more than a light-reflecting foundation. Those facial lines will remain noticeable under any lighting. A clinic-level filler solves that problem immediately. Fillers are used to address deep or fine lines around the nose and mouth. Plus, fillers help restore lip volume and enhance the jawline contour. Finally, fillers can be used to fill sunken areas under the eyes, known as undereye hollows. The treatment will restore the undereye area to a brighter appearance, highlighting the eyes again.

Our clinic offers several fillers, and our clients love using Juvederm for Facial Contouring. It fills deep lines, restoring the skin to a plumper, more youthful appearance. It’s made from hyaluronic acid, a natural element of our own skin that’s responsible for retaining moisture. So, the added benefit of Juvederm is it aligns with the body to stimulate natural collagen production.

Juvederm for Facial Contouring isn’t a magic trick; it’s real science. And one treatment can last from 6 to 24 months (depending on the treatment area). If you are ready to remove a ‘tired’ appearance due to deep lines, contact our Foster City clinic for a discussion about the hyaluronic acid filler, Juvederm!
