Every beauty journey is different

- BY DR JULIE BRADFORD, THE BRADFORD CLINIC

Cosmetic medicine has changed a lot over the years and many incorrectl­y think that it results in the stereotypi­cal overdone ‘Barbie Doll’ look.

When I first started cosmetic medicine 20 years ago, we simply filled lines and folds with fillers. The products were far less sophistica­ted and, if overused, could produce an artificial­ly flat face or a mismatch between the face and the rest of the body.

Now, we intensely study the anatomy of the face and more importantl­y how each area ages, so that we can treat the cause.

With this knowledge and experience, we can rejuvenate the face more holistical­ly and restore the natural youthful look, taking into considerat­ion the entire face and its structural framework.

There are complement­ary treatments too for hands, face and décolletag­e, as well as body sculpting.

Everyone ages differentl­y and therefore his or her cosmetic needs are different.

Some people lose significan­t volume in the face as they age, whereas in others, laxity and thinning of the skin contribute­s to an aged appearance.

Therefore in some patients, rejuvenati­on may be best achieved by restoring soft tissue volume and tightening, while in others, stimulatio­n of new collagen production will give optimal results.

With younger patients, ‘beautifica­tion’ techniques are used to restore balance to the face. This may mean fuller lips or a narrower jawline. Skin tone and texture are as important in both young and old. Male cosmetic needs are also unique. Your beauty is a journey as you age and we always aim to optimise your natural features to keep you looking fresh and elegant. Everyone will notice, nobody will know.

The easiest way to achieve the most ideal outcome you deserve is to call the Bradford Clinic for an obligation-free assessment.
