There are various factors that can make you look older, such as skin that sags with age, a prominent forehead, and facial contours that tend to become square overall. To address these concerns, Yayoi Clinic offers treatments designed to help you achieve a “heart-shaped” facial contour, which is considered to give a youthful appearance. We’ll explain in detail the treatment methods best suited for each area, so please use this information as a guide.
What are the characteristics of a youthful facial contour?
A heart-shaped face is one with moderate fullness in the cheeks that tapers naturally toward the jawline.
[Features of the Heart Shape]
- Plump "cheeks"
- A rounded "forehead"
- Plump "tear troughs"
- A face line that traces a smooth curve
- A clean, V-shaped jawline
The key to a youthful-looking face shape is its rounded, heart-shaped contours.
First, round out the outline
As we age, our facial contours tend to become more square. At YAYOI CLINIC,Our combination therapy helps you achieve a smooth V-line.
■“HIFU” and “RF Treatment” to Help Lift the Entire Face
It tightens and lifts sagging skin from the skin's foundation.
■"Thread Lift" for Creating a V-Shaped Contour
It tightens sagging skin and helps create a V-shaped jawline.
By combining these two methods, we tighten the jawline and create a smooth, defined contour.
Define the jawline
■“Hyaluronic Acid Injections for the Jawline” to Create a Sharper Contour
By creating a moderate length in the jawline, it emphasizes the V-line.
■“Botox Lift” for a Tight, Defined Jawline
It reduces the downward pull on the jawline to lift sagging skin.
Combining these two injections creates a sharp V-line.
Add Volume with Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections create soft, rounded contours.A rounded forehead is a key feature that gives a youthful impression.Here's how. As we age, the forehead tends to look more bony, so we'll shape it into a softer, rounder line.
Add Some Contrast
By adding volume to the tear troughs,This can make the midface appear shorter, giving you a more youthful look."Hyaluronic acid injections for the tear troughs" enhance the appearance of your eyes and add definition. They also create a slimming effect on the face, giving you an even more youthful look.
