The Power of Facial Harmony: How Non-Surgical Anti-Ageing Treatments Can Help You Look Younger

Ageing is a beautiful phase in our lives. With it comes abundant wisdom, meaningful relationships, and valuable experiences.  But embracing the ageing process doesn’t have to mean giving up on taking care of ourselves or neglecting our appearance. You owe it to yourself to continue prioritising anything that makes you feel confident and beautiful. 

Understanding the ageing process

Let’s understand this more, shall we?

When you are younger, the widest part of your face is your cheek area, and then the width lessens as you go down to the chin. This is what we call the ‘triangle of youth’. At this stage, your face appears plumper with high cheekbones, full cheeks, and well-defined jaws. 

However, as we age, this triangle is slowly inverting: Your jaw starts to sag (making it the widest part of your face), your cheeks deflate, and your nasolabial folds (smile lines) become more defined. This is known as the ‘pyramid of age’.

In addition to living a healthy lifestyle, this transition to the ‘pyramid of age’ can lead some of us to explore cosmetic injectables as a way to address ageing concerns. And such procedures would entail achieving facial harmony and balance –  a face with a proportional and symmetrical relationship between the different facial features.

So how can we look younger? Whether you’re thinking about getting dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections or your appointment is just around the corner, this article can help you be more informed about how to achieve facial harmony and balance for that youthful glow.

What is facial harmony and balance?

Let’s first get you acquainted with this industry-popular concept.

Dr. Jae Kim, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, has an interesting way of explaining what exactly facial harmony and balance is.

He elaborates that facial balance is much like a holistic workout program in a gym: You do not just workout your arms. You also have to workout the rest of your body to achieve maximum and proportionate results. The last thing you want is to look bulky on your upper body but then drastically slimmer on your lower body. 

It is pretty much the same as achieving facial harmony and facial balance. If you want to improve the look of your chin, then making the necessary changes to its surrounding areas is needed to make sure that you do not end up looking overdone. Focusing on an isolated facial feature can lead to unnatural results. By evaluating the full face to improve your facial symmetry, you walk out of the clinic with a more proportional and more natural facial appearance.

How does facial harmony and balance benefit mature women?

One word: attractiveness (and everything that goes with it).

Through the Evolutionary Advantage theory, researchers suggest that those with symmetrical faces are perceived as more attractive because it is indicative of good health. Aside from this, other scholars do have some interesting insights linking attractiveness with various kinds of successes:

1. Confidence and Self-Esteem

A research suggests that attractive people are more likely to speak up when they feel wronged. The study shows that the more beautiful women have higher levels of assertiveness compared to the less attractive ones, which gives them a greater advantage when it comes to effective communication. A study has also shown that attractive individuals have higher self-esteem owing to the fact that they receive more praise and recognition.

2. Professional success

Being attractive does pay off – literally.  In one experiment, researchers have noted that attractiveness is an advantage during job application screenings. Meanwhile, another study from the University of Wisconsin found a link between a CEOs facial attractiveness and the amount of a company’s revenue. According

to the researchers, CEOs who scored high in Facial Attractiveness Index actually experienced high stock returns.

So how to look younger with cosmetic injectables?

1. Dermal Fillers: For volumizing and contouring

Dermal fillers are injectable medications that work to make your face plumper – smoothing out fine lines and adding more fullness to the face. Since we naturally lose subcutaneous fat as we age, dermal fillers are injected to restore the face’s volume and bring out a more youthful appearance.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, dermal fillers can do the following:

• Plump thin lips
• Enhance shallow contours
• Soften facial creases and wrinkles
• Improve the appearance of recessed scars
• Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
• Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids

There are also different types of dermal fillers and these include Hyaluronic Acid or HA (a naturally occuring acid in your skin which gives skin volume and hydration), Calcium hydroxylapatite or CaHA (consists of a substance we have in our bones), Poly-L-lactic acid or PLLA  (helps your body produce collagen), and Polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA (consists of collagen with very small balls that stay under your skin to keep it firm).

2. Neuromodulators: For relaxing and smoothing

Neuromodulators in anti-wrinkle injections are wrinkle-relaxing injections of botulinum toxin used to treat wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet (fine lines that form on the outer corner of the eyes).  These injectables relax the underlying muscles, allowing the overlying skin to gradually smooth out.
