To think there must be something that can be done for an aging face?

Anyone have any procedures done that have actually worked? I've had Botox and profilo. If you have any experience with polynucleotides or mid face fillers or micro needling with RF please let me know.

I need some volumising and some any wrinkle help (lower face).

If you are in the aging gracefully brigade or don't believe in cosmetic injectables this is not your thread.

I get Botox, and filler for my marionette lines. Look sooo much better than I did, let’s say five years ago.

Yesterday had a treatment called Neofound which is basically like collagen and hyaluronic micro needling. Bit too soon to see the benefit but hoping it gives me a wee glow for a while.

I love getting stuff done; I feel I deserve to treat myself to whatever I want in my 40s 🙂

Ok thanks, how much filler in the mid face? Are you in London, recommend anywhere?

I saw someone on TikTok who had an 8 point facelift. It looks pretty good, and was around £500 iirc.

I’m contemplating profhilo, I had been researching co2 laser, which seems to work well but nervous as, knowing my luck, I’ll end up with some sort of scarring. There seems to be too many options now and I just don’t know what will be successful with least risks!

Aliaxin filler to lift the mid face, it's a bit more natural than traditional filler. Also profhilo, not a filler as such but does give healthy looking skin.

Ooohh thanks, good call. I may just duplicate. Why are you waiting for a facelift and why nothing so far? Skincare alone working for you?

I have been blessed with good skin so don't have issues with texture or lines/wrinkles (or at least nothing that tret hasn't helped with) I can't bear the idea of botox or any injectibles but have no qualms with surgery!! The main issue for me so far is sagging and so I feel that a lift will be the best course of action.

I'm 37.regular botox.
I've had a bit of midface filler but very subtle volume replacement only 2y ago and tear troughs as well. I definitely need a top up as I feel like it's worn off.
I also administer filers/ tox and profhilo, polynucleotides. They're great if placed correctly and naturally and a thorough assessment and consultation is really important

66 and have botox regularly. Tried Profhilo and it did absolutely nothing. Going to try Sculptra next.

My mum had a facelift at 57 and and eye lift at 66. She looked amazing and no one had any idea. But she was very careful in her research for a good practitioner.

Of course there are things that can be done! Lots of things! I'm early 50s and have never had botox or any 'work' done but I fully intend to have a facelift or something before I'm 60.

Ask for this thread to be moved to the Style & Beauty board and you'll get lots of informative responses.
