What can I do to stop my face from drooping as I age?


No one needs convincing that as we age, our skin loses its firm, youthful appearance. Eventually, skin begins to droop and sag until you might feel like you hardly recognize yourself in the mirror. For this situation, we can thank gravity, along with the loss of facial fat, collagen, elasticity and hyaluronic acid. As the skin loses its volume, it begins to sag, causing the formation of wrinkles and folds. It all leads to an alteration in the actual shape of the face and hollowed, sunken forehead, eyes and cheeks and a heavier, wider jaw.

Now there is a simple cure for the droop. In just one non-surgical treatment, the new volumizing dermal filler Juvéderm Voluma XC reverses this situation and restores full cheeks, lifting the whole face and reclaiming the heart-shaped look of youth. Thanks to its proprietary cross-linking process, Juvéderm Voluma XC can also last as long as two years before a touch up is necessary. Injections of Voluma plump the area deep beneath the skin, adding volume back to your face, just where you need it, and nowhere you don’t. Now that Voluma is here, it’s time to say “so long” to the droop and “hello cheekbones!”

Flowers and chocolate? No, thanks! 78% of women want BOTOX for Valentine's Day


With Valentine's Day just around the corner, men are picking their brains over the perfect way to say 'I love you'.

•    78% of women say they'd be impressed if partner bought them Botox

•    But 7% would be offended

•    Dermal fillers and botox topped most lusted-after gift list

•    Women don't want laser hair removal or skin tightening

But forget wilting flower bouquets, cringey chocolates and kitschy teddy bears, because most women have only one gift on their hit list this year.

Nearly 80 per cent of women want Botox as their present this February - with 78 per cent saying they'd be 'impressed' if their partner treated them to it, according to research.

When researchers asked women how they'd feel if their partner bought them botox, 78 per cent said they'd be impressed, 15 per cent said they would be mildly pleased yet concerned, and the remaining seven per cent said they would be slightly offended or not happy.



The study also looked at which cosmetic treatments women would like to receive for Valentine's Day - with dermal filler, botox and tooth whitening topping the list.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, women would hate to receive - men, are you paying attention? - laser hair removal, skin tightening and leg vein removal this year.

Men have even been scouring the net for advice, with one cosmetic surgery and treatment review website seeing a rise in enquiries from loved-up men seeking advice on whether they should respond to their partners' anti-ageing concerns.

New research reveals the number one question from men was: 'Which aesthetic treatments can I give as a Valentine’s Day gift without offending her?'.

Speaking about the results, a spokesperson for Good Surgeon Guide, who carried out the study, said: 'While our general opinion is that gifting cosmetic surgery or aesthetic treatments is not good idea, it cannot erase the fact that people still feel compelled to give and receive them.

You may be surprised with the amount of women who would rather get BOTOX for Valentine's Day than chocolate and flowers. If you're one of those women, or looking for a gift for one, check out BOTOX Tampa today.

'We recommend that men who choose to give cosmetic treatments for Valentine's must understand how the gift may make their partner feel, especially if it's a surprise.

'If at all possible, it's best to speak with their partner about the treatment and make sure it is something they want.'
