Understanding Fillers: Enhancing Natural Beauty Without the 'Instagram Face
At Timeless Aesthetics, we often encounter concerns about aesthetic treatments, particularly dermal fillers.
The prevalent images in the media, featuring overdone lips and puffy inflated cheeks and pointy chins, can overshadow the true potential of these treatments.
Let’s clear the air about what fillers are and how they can be used to enhance your natural beauty, not transform you into a different person.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
If I’m 100% honest, I don’t like the word filler. To me it sounds fake, heavy and industrial, like something a tradesman would carry around in his toolbox.
But I guess we’ll have to run with it for now….
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore facial sagging and lost volume, smooth varying depth of wrinkles and can create lift and support.
I MUST stress, I only work with temporary Dermal Fillers, which contain Hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the skin, that gives the skin it’s plumpness and moisture.
To be used as a Dermal Filler, the substance goes through a manufacturing process, that gives the filler different levels of viscosity. Some have texture very thin, pretty much like water and some have a higher gel type viscosity, used for areas that require more lift and support.
Unlike surgical options, fillers are minimally invasive and can provide subtle, natural-looking, elegant results when administered correctly.
The key is subtlety.
A good practitioner should administer lightly and delicately, going for a less is more approach, whilst selecting the right level of viscosity for the area to be treated.
I believe there’s a certain level of artistry involved.
Knowing how to keep the features balanced and in harmony is key.
They can be administered to act as subtle support under the skin. Almost like anchor points, slowing down the gravitational effects of ageing.
Following treatment you should leave looking EXACTLY like you! Fresh, elegant, and natural, as though you’re rested and healthy!
Definitely not with a puffy ‘alien-like’ instagram face!
The Misconceptions
-
Overdone Look: The term ‘Instagram face’ often conjures images of excessively plumped lips and unnaturally smooth cheeks. However, this is not representative of how fillers should be used. At Timeless Aesthetics, our approach focuses on subtle enhancements that respect your natural features. Our goal is to help you look like yourself—just refreshed and revitalised.
-
Loss of Identity: One major concern is that fillers might alter your appearance so drastically that you no longer resemble yourself. Properly applied, fillers can just subtly replace what you’ve naturally lost. We should never be giving you something you’ve never had, just gently restoring YOU! Helping you look like a more rejuvenated version of yourself, NOT someone else!
-
Temporary Changes: Unlike permanent changes, fillers are adjustable and can be tailored to your individual needs and preferences. This allows for a gradual and adaptable approach to enhancement.
When you see many overdone famous people, it’s often actually badly done surgery you’re witnessing the effects of, with possibly heavy, badly placed fillers over the top.
Many Hollywood celebs also undergo full surgical cheek implants, which I feel can throw the whole face out of balance.
Enhancing Natural Beauty
Fillers can be an excellent tool for restoring youthful contours and subtle volume loss.
By targeting specific areas, we aim to simply restore your natural features and bring back the youthful vitality that may have diminished with age.
The result is a natural, harmonious look that restores and maintains, rather than alters. 🌹
What to Expect at Timeless Aesthetics
At Timeless Aesthetics, we are proud to have developed a solid reputation for being the ‘go-to’ clinic for natural, elegant results and we pride ourselves on our bespoke approach to aesthetic treatments.
The repeating message I hear time and time again is:
-
“People always tell me I look really well”
-
“People tell me I look good for my age”
-
“People comment on my skin and tell me how healthy it looks”
-
“My husband still doesn’t know to this day!”
And the most important one:
-
“I feel like ME again”
We respect your unique features. Uniqueness is what makes you beautiful, ensuring that the results are in line with your personal beauty goals.
Our focus is on achieving natural-looking results that compliment your individual characteristics, rather than conforming to media-driven ideals and sheep mentality.
We work with women who actually LOVE themselves, they have no desire to look like anyone else and would be mortified if they looked overdone!
They simply want to maintain what they’ve been blessed with, or gently restore what has been lost in a very natural way.
