@@rajanimdskincare I certainly appreciate your dedication to your work Dr Rajani! You have helped educate so many different people in your lifetime. You really are wonderful to share your knowledge the way you do! Some people think success is about how much money one makes, others think success is having a family. I think success is waking up every morning knowing you’ve helped someone. Not only do you provide services to men and women so they feel better about themselves, you share all of your beauty secrets with people who cannot afford to go to a spa regularly. You always give options for people to do what they can at home. I actually started my spa because my girlfriends could not afford to go to the spa with me when I invited them. I have a lot of respect for those who aren’t just about money! If you don’t already know this…..you are important to a LOT of people!!! Now, there is almost 5 feet of snow here just north of Barrie. Last week it was 21° C today it’s 0°C. Any skin tips for sudden temperature drops ? Maybe you could address this in one of your next videos?
@@rajanimdskincare my derma gave me a facial wash AHA glycolic and glycolic toner plus hydroquinone and Tretinoin she said use they all at night time. In the morning just the AHA wash.
I don’t understand why all these young women mess up their beautiful faces with fillers and whatnots before they turn 55 yrs old. Too much make up and sunshine without sunscreen. It’s terrible. Age grace full and mind what you eat. You can be seventy and still have a beautiful skin. My late mother-in-law died at 83 yrs old and even the mortician thought she was in her early 50s, she had no wrinkles, her skin was flawless, she neither drank nor smoked. Just appreciate your blessings and take good care of yourselves.
I agree with you. Some ladies really over do it. I get a lot of clients who cannot get enough. I’m 51, but look 30. I also stay out of the sun, I exercise, I eat very clean, I do facial yoga, and always wear sunscreen. I think a lot of people just do not do these things. Even though I agree with Growing old gracefully, I enjoy fighting it every step of the way. But by doing the right things.
Alcohol is the worst for your skin! So many people drink in our society and what a difference it could make in your mind and body without poisoning yourself.
Had filler in nasal labial folds at 58. Lip fillers since then. Tiny bits in pre jowl sulcus around 66. Now 68 and it looks fabulous and natural. And botox too of course. But only about once a year. 11’s, forhead and crows feet. Love love love 💗 Never touched my face till 58 though. And I’ve only ever let one fabulous San Diego plastic surgeon, put anything in my face
When I turned 40 I was still in my prime and looked very young!!! Now that I am 67 I still look youthful and would never let anyone touch my face with fillers or anything else. I have always eaten right, exercised and have now included facial exercises and facial massages!! Above all - I exfoliate my entire body daily with my own mixture of lemon and ginger juice, coconut oil and brown sugar - after showering I moisturize my entire body.
@@chocolat654 Yes - brown people tend to have an advantage because our skin is somewhat tougher. However, you still have to work to keep it looking young.
@@chocolat654 she is not of a darker skin. Brown yes but not darker. Also having more melanin is not always a guarantee that you would age slowly especially after a particular age if you were not taking care of your overall body. All that she mentions greatly impact how well she aged more than what melanin can do if you don't take care of it and protect it from the sun. Also, melanin does not protect against loose skin, jaw or the round shape around the lower jawline area that tends to form as you age due to lack of elasticity etc. So yes, regardless to your race, as you age strength training becomes more important to keep your skin tight and increasing muscle mass and reduce fat as well as increasing body exfoliation.
@@pocahontasprincess4197 That's what you call bragging? I think it's important that people realize the importance of eating right and taking care of themselves. There are rewards in doing so..
Just because a few celebrities overdid it with dermal filler doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work. I started getting the most fillers when I turned 40 and I look great.
I am 69 and have fillers to lift my jowls. I have a brilliant doctor who does them and I couldn’t be happier. I live in Australia and I started having fillers just 5 years ago.
I love your candor, Dr! You are fast becoming a favorite channel. I'm 59 and I can tell you that I tried fillers once. I was around 44 which was a few years after being in surgical menopause. My skin went to hell quickly from it but did bounce back years later. I'm a woman of slight build, with thin, dry skin & delicate features to begin with -- fillers were like a huge NO. It just wasn't right my face. Of course, it was my lower face, where I was developing very slight marionette lines that were bothering me. My face is angular enough to never have been a 'contour makeup' type. Some faces just aren't the best candidate to use filler. That same Dr wanted to fill my temple areas - he said I was "skeletonizing" - it would help me look more "youthful". I asked if he used sharp needle technique or canula method - he was shocked I knew the difference, then said "needle". I ran out the door to prevent nerve damage :-) I'm grateful you are here to educate and be honest. It will allow women to make better choices in newer available treatments.
I had very very thin under projected lips. My face didn't look balanced. My fillers in my lips have been a life changer! I only got 1ml and plan to just maintain it every few years and not add more then that. I think filler should enhance features not be a crutch to avoid wrinkles all over the face
I’m past 40 and my fillers look great when I do them. I have good bone structure and no sag. However my doctor doesn’t over do it at all, I have never had a puffy looking face. I use good skincare, light lasers, radio frequency, facials, etc. All the supplements you recommend I’ve been taking for years 👍🏼
Ma’am he’s not speaking about you or any individual. He’s sharing a general concept devoid of variables. We get it, you want us to know you’re blessed.
I totally agree with your video. I am 44 years old, no filler ever, no botox (did 3 sections, last one was 2 years ago). Now My treatments are micro needling, PRFs and peelings. Your videos help me a lot! thank you !
Why would you even start THINKING about fillers before 40???? Beats me… work out do yoga, eat good nutritios food. Moisturize and clean your skin daily. Do one cleaning diet a year go outside for gods sake and live life… a little makeup here and there .. no one can tell your age from 25-40 if you just use common sense and some discipline.
It’s hard for me to trust a provider after one gave me a horrible filler job 😢 I wish I could try again with someone else but I’m scared. I wish I lived in your area Dr. Rajani! This is exactly what I wanted, to look younger in a natural way. I went to a “reputable” place in my area, I thought he was the best so I went to him, but I should have seen all the red flags before my appointment, but I’m 33 and I’ve never had any procedure done so I didn’t know any better. First red flag was that the injector does not do his consultations, he had a young nurse talked to me about which procedure was better. I said I wanted to look younger in a natural way, also that I gained weight so my face was fuller and I didn’t like it. I have great full cheeks, even when I’m thinner you can see they’re full so I don’t know why she recommended me to get fillers, but since she’s the professional I trusted her. At my appointment as the injector is injecting my face he asks me “what is it that you wanted to achieve?” 😳 I felt uneasy because I realized the nurse and him didn’t talk about what I wanted. I noticed my whole face, specially my cheeks were very full afterwards but I thought my face was swollen. After a month I realized he injected most of the filler in my cheeks! Where I already had lots of volume. I looked like a chipmunk! 😭 even my good friends told me it looked bad, that I didn’t look like myself. I went back upset to get it dissolved and he tried to say I was overeating. Now my skin is sagging more than what it did before the procedure, I don’t know if maybe it was because the filler stretched out my skin and after dissolving it got looser? I don’t know, but I don’t want this to happen again, it was a very stressful thing to go through. Thank you so much for this videos! All Doctors should educate their clients this way so we know which procedure is better for us.
be patient...your skin will recover with time... do some facial tapping with a good moisturiser once daily when coming from the hot shower... eat and drink good things and you'll slowly bounce back.
Same thing happened to me. I have a full face and she recommended fillers for marionette lines. I looked so swollen afterwards and my cheeks looked bigger and my chin and lips. It seemed to have migrated to other areas of my face. I was mortified. 2 1/2 years later I still look somewhat swollen. You are correct when it started dissolving my skin lost its glow due to the stretching of my skin. I now have fine lines that I didn't have before. Also, the under eye area is hollowed out from the stretching and more pronounced under eye circles and more fine lines under the eyes.... such a stressful experience and this was the first thing I ever tried and it was so disappointing. My face and skin looked better before fillers.
I’m getting ready to have RF micro needling to address lower face and neck sagging at 60 years young! I do everything you recommend::Sculptra every one to two years, excellent skin care regime, healthy diet and supplements, plenty of exercise, sleep and stress management. I did have some HA injection in my lips but it is very subtle. Once a year, I have some Dysport injections in the glabella. I just want my outside to reflect how good I feel in the inside!
I agree with everything you said. I have seen too many celebrities that look like bloated balloons not to agree. I reside in the UK, and I am in my early thirties. In my mid-twenties, I started getting fillers in my face, and it looked good; after about a year, I did another one because I loved the result, and then another one after a year and six months. I thought I would do it forever after all; why would I give up that feeling of looking good but then I started seeing celebrities looking bloated like Simon Cowell, Nicole Kidman, Courtney Cox, and even my provider looked bloated and not like herself, on top of that I read that fillers expand the face which widen the natural skin's envelope so over time you need more fillers just fill in the space. I am glad you showed all the alternatives available as well as educating us on the topic. If it weren't for videos like this I might carry on doing it and who knows where my skin would be in the future. Maybe one day you might finish the UK.
Agreed. What I’ve been doing and been trying to do on a regular basis is facial exercises and that makes a lot of sense because it is a muscle and you have to exercise the muscles and that’s what they actually do for you and a facial is manipulate them also massage them get some blood flowing in them but you have to exercise them yourself to
Yup, I massage my face, facial yoga, gua sha and facial massgers, I live for skincare!!!! and I don't wear a ton of pore clogging make up, my foundation is moisturiser, tinted and primers and serums. I look younger than I am, I look younger than I did 8 years ago ❤❤❤
Depends on where you’re placing the filler. I got filler in my smile lines when I was 43 and left the office looking 5 years younger. I got filler in my upper and lower eyelids when I was 55 and left looking 15 years younger. But I do have a strong jawline and I did not have much jowling. Unbelievable how much younger I looked with just those two fixes.
I agree and this is what I've been telling people but you articulated it so much better! I loved filler in my 30s, it took the edge off and I looked in my 20s easily. But as soon as I was late 30s I didn't get the same effect. Filler is very limited, it's just for some minor sculpting but once you need more than that it's only good for being an add-on. For me the thought of injecting my own blood and plasma is really icky, I prefer a HA. But I decided no more filler for me. When I get really miserable if I do, I'll get a face lift with filler. But at some point, looking good becomes so expensive that only someone who can afford regular surgery can keep up the pretense. The rest of us should satisfy ourselves with looking happy and healthy via exercise, diet, clothes and makeup. Sad but that's the truth. All the money I saved not having fillers has gone on makeup and clothes lol
I’m very blessed. Going on 40 and haven’t needed fillers yet. I don’t have sagging skin, but I plan on getting a deep plane facelift and fat transfer when the time comes. I’d rather save my money for a more permanent solution.
There's a video on here that I watched discussing the processes of fillers or botox. Once you get them even one time, they will NEVER go away. You could dissolve them but they will dissolve and your tissue will absorb it. Once you get that first injection of whatever ccs you get, the next time you go in for a retouch, the fillers are not going to start at that cc amount, they will begin applying at the top of where the previous filler began dissolving and just build up, hence why all these people look like a bee stung them. A face doesn't fully begin aging until 40s-50s and that's when the most notable face changes occur. Please be very careful, we do not know what these fillers will do overtime in our tissues
I’m 45 and have taken care of my skin since i was in my mid 20’s. I do have great skin but my face laxity is not where I’d like it to be. I lost weight and that definitely made a difference. However for some reason I’m not ready to take that filler route. I’ve had Botox and lip filler. Recently got Sculptra about 3 weeks ago and can already see a difference. Also did a little prp and am considering prf gel for under my eyes. I’m so afraid of the moon/chipmunk face look. So many women are walking around like that. I just don’t understand. I guess they’re not aware.
you're happy with your sculptra results so far? I thought about it but I am still nervous....Ill be 43 and ive done vampire facials, rf microneedling etc & take every vitamin under the sun & drink tons of water but I don't want that puffy face either. I was thinking of waiting a year or so before I do sculptra....
@@MYG79X I don't think there is anything to be worried about - sculpta won't puff you or change your face like other fillers - it will just work to increase collagen and tighten - I'd start it earlier rather than later..then after the initial treatments you can just maintain it... :)
Dr Rajani thank you for this video. I am 42 and for the first time in my life, this June, I had Botox… and a month later, filler in lips, a month later filler in cheeks and a month later filler in nasalabial bolds. I look older now and one of my eyes has sunken deep and down into the socket. I wish I never started any of this
Thank you for sharing. Many are very unhappy I would post something like this but what you are experiencing I see every day. I appreciate you creating awareness.
Why it's so important to look younger ..is looking old means ugly?ask urself n decide bec if it's so then one day we all will look old n whatever definition we have for that old..smile n feel love deep in soul..it will make u look beautiful forever
I couldn't agree more with what you presented in this video. Thank you for putting yourself out there. Education for the general population is powerful and helps us be better able to make informed decisions and advocate for ourselves when deciding on a course of treatment. I'm in my mid 40's do PRF eyes because of your channel. I look natural not done and I love that. To each their own. I appreciate your content. Thank you!
My mother is 64 and gets fillers very conservatively and looks great..much more natural in small amounts than a facelift that make women have that pulled back face but dont look any younger
Have to disagree! Overfilled is obviously terrible, but also very different than correctly filled. I think if we are just focusing on areas of loss and being conservative with a good eye and great technique, over 40 is just as good a time as any. Pre-jowel sulcus included. I would caution against high heat in RF (Morpheus/Fractora) due to burning fat which presents as loss and more sagging skin. I agree that we should be using other techniques like microneedling and Sculptra along with peels etc. Anyway, my .02 but love your channel!
Thanks for sharing. If you have an ultrasound in your practice check out your 6 year post filler patients. I too was very skeptical about rf fat reduction with insulated needles. Now I m a huge fan.
I am so glad I saw this video. I’ll be turning 55 next year and am thinking to get fillers but after watching this video I change my mind. Thank you so much. I’ll look for other options.
Me too! I was going to get fillers for my marionette lines but after watching this, I am going to settle for aging gracefully and doing facial exercises. 😊
I’m a 28 year old man and got fillers for under my eyes and cheek bones. It really sculpted my face and made me look a decade younger already. I love it and do not regret my decision. I had naturally hollow under eyes and looked tired all the time. I used skincare, exercised correctly, and got plenty of sun and still looked tired all the time. Fillers helped my confidence skyrocket. I do not regret investing in myself at all.
I dont want to look 15 yesrs younger but fresh,positive and relaxed.I have been on botox for 20 years and have tried kybella for fatpads and HIFU . And for temples and cheeks Teoxane .I work in a public place and wish to be respected and acccepted .Unfortunatly people dont accept a tired and sad look ,things that usually come with age . Take care Doctor Rajsni:)
Iam 40 years old. I just started sculptra, had 2 vials iam sooooo impressed and best decision I have made regarding my facial esthetics and iam a licensed Master Aesthetician. I was using jevederm for fillers but once I used sculptra. Omg it's a game changer.
It’s hard to find a doctor you trust. Who tells the doctor how much to inject? It’s also hard to tell them where to inject. As a hairdresser, I don’t like people telling me how to do my job.
A small amount works but most over do it! When they over do, it looks puffy and bends unusual to give a crack look in the skin near the mouth when they smile.
I do see problematic results with fillers for some people, especially celebrities. However, I don't go overboard, and I'm loving my results. I do a combination of fillers, botox, good skincare, chemical peels and staying out of the sun/wearing sunscreen. Fillers/botox are not a single solution in my opinion, you still need to take care of your skin and have a healthy diet.
That is so true doctor🙏 our dermatologist always start with conservative treatments and when patients love the result, you will see them often to come back and have some more. The ironic side of this is patient tend to say at first visit "I don't want over-over doctor!" But then they get addicted to fillers and Botox pushing themselves to get more!😅🤦
I am 51 and I am thinking of doing fillers! Until now I was doing only botox. Can you please give me some information? How long does it lust? In wich places you did it.? Thank you😢
Depends which product - & areas of the face that move most, like the lips, will 'wear' it out faster - but I was told 18 months - 2 years. I had light filler in temples & mid-face, simply to replace lost volume which was causing sag & a change of proportion I just didn't like, didn't feel like 'me', & it *worked!* Very happy with result, don't know why this guy is saying it doesn't, maybe he means when people over-do it, but that happens with under-40s too! Just need to find a reputable practitioner with a good eye; Best wishes 😊 x
Fillers Do work for over 40's, I know many in London that have them myself included BUT if used very sparingly and depending on the location. So fo example, a small amount of tear trough filler every 2 -3 years etc is subtle and makes a massive difference in lifting the face, however the ones here that look overdone have a ton in their cheeks, their chin, their jawline etc and that weight just pulls their faces down.
I’m in my early 40s, African descent, fillers and injectables have definitely made me look mid to late 20s. I think it depends on ethnicity and how well you took care of your skin in youth.
@@PrettytoughfaithNothing to do with ethnicity.. i am very pale and at 43 every one thought i was in my teens! But i never expose my skin to the sun or drink alcohol.. So this ethnicity dogma is a myth
I am 42 and just have a little touch of filler in my lips 0.5ml and 0.5 ml on each side of my face along the jaw line. I really love it, but only get it done every 9 months. By far, the most important anti-aging practice for me personally is a low carb diet. I've been low carb since 2005, high protein, high saturated fat, everything they tell you not to do, but my blood work is perfect. If I occasionally eat a binge of carbs I can really notice it in my face the next day, sagging and visible pores etc.
I’ve never seen anyone younger than their age, but I’ve seen people looking older than their age and that includes some with fillers. It’s a strange thing. Our irises show our age as well as our ways of getting up from chair, or just the way we talk. It’s about trying to look attractive and some people are that at any age; And they seem to be just born that way, touched at birth by a magic wand :) 🤷🏻
I like the way he emphasises diet, exercise, lifestyle and mindset. Too seldom do plastic surgeons and dermatologists say this and put far too much emphasis on what is put on the skin, when the fuel we put inside and nutrients often do more. Enough sleep too and relaxation. Topical products have their place...but there is also a lot more to do for youthfulness
I'm 45, never had fillers, botox, or retinol. People still thinks I'm in my 30's. All I apply on my face is tumeric, yogurt, and manuka honey. Wash them and apply some moisturizer. Less is more. :)
hi...great to hear i'm not alone...i also use only natural products and look good for my age... for me its water, orange blossom water, grapeseed oil, honey oat all natural soap...thats it. We must also share our natural journeys as an option for people to consider trying.
Man! Perfect freaking timing! I was about to schedule filler and Botox appointment and they will never educate you like this! They just want the money! I’m 56 and never had anything some say I look in my 30s but I see the mid face dropping
I'm 40 and just started getting them very conservatively! For me it really helps and I def don't have that bloated crazy look. I was afraid I would have that fake look but I just look more well rested. I have to say it really helps with stress to just look better rested.
@@Kat3Lov382 I got my cheek under my eye and smile lines and such a small tweak made a huge difference. She said she didn't consider it to be my tear trough though :shrug:
I've read hundreds of these comments where women think they look better than they do and younger than their age. Of all the comments, judging by your picture, you are one of the only ones that actually look younger than your age. There are a lot of delusional women on this site. You look very youthful.
This is the perfect comment! You have to get tweaks! And I also feel like you need to let some of it dissolve on its own before you go back in. People just tend to go overboard.
Watch out!! I went and had fat placed in my face 8 months ago and what a disaster. My face just needed a little to cheeks and such. Still look very good for 65. Well after the fat was placed it literally looked like it sunk to my lower face. I also developed deeper wells under my eyes . I had jowls like a bulldog. I wish I could post it. So I had to get a tool to massage along my face to get the V back. Now I look ok but that was scary. Our skin is not tight like it was when we were young. You will get the best and most peer reviewed information from Dr. Rajani. Thanks Doc!! ❤😊
I used filler and didn’t like the look either. I started using sculptra at 44 (48 now) and people don’t believe my age. I only use lip filler and use Dr Rajani lip serum and it maintains my lips 6 to 9 months) and RF, fat dissolver for jowls and double-chin, etc. I’m waiting for ellacor that looks promising!
I had my first filler at 51.I'd had some teeth extracted and then implants, and the subsequent bone loss left little dents in my pre-jowel areas. I has half a syringe (1ml in total) each side and I'm absolutely delighted with the results. It lasted 18 months and I've just had my first top up. I dont think I'd go for volume filler though - I'm okay with the deflating 😊
You don't lose bone after impkants. On the contrary, you grow bone, especially if you had bone grafting. The bone loss happens BEFORE the implants and is the reason why you need implants! I suspect something similar to me experience happened to you. When I got my implants surgery, I had bone loss. I had lost one tooth many years ago, and a second one was partially extracted. At that point, I had no jowls yet, thanks to all my diligent care. The surgery took 6 hours (4 + 2 in the span of 10 days), during which I had to stretch my jaw to the max non stop. In the ensuing weeks, I notice jowls for the first time. Yes, suddenly. Clearly, the over stretching of my lower face for so many hours consecutively broke my collagen fibers and damaged my elastin. Furthermore, to confirm all this I'm telling you, I had an "old" side and a "young" side. Well, two years after the surgery, even though I have jowls on both sides, the sag is worse on the formerly "young" side. Why? Because I grew bone on the "old" side thanks to the implants, and that compensated for some of the aging.
Thank you so much, Dr. Rajani! This video is like the Theory of Everything Injectable. After learning from you, I got my first filler, and I LOVE IT! My Injector warned me that after the first session, I would want more and more. Between her advice and yours, I see that my plan for reinjection in 6 weeks is aggressive. I will push back my next appointment and go a bit slower. And I will not go through with plans to get injected EVERYWHERE. I'll mix it up with some gel here and RF there. @Just Andrea, I am Black and didn't think it would do much, but injectables are excellent for us too! 😍
I do not think anyone can generalise. Sagging and even lines do not hit everyone in their 40s and younger people can have them worse. These people mentioned are much older and will have gone over the top. A bit of juvederm in my friend's marrionette lines helped, she did not have lines anywhere else.
I started having fillers at age 30. I'm 44 now and I've always looked young and still do, so I never had the filler to look younger, but rather, to look better. My cheeks are naturally very flat, my nose has a slight bump and my lips are assymetric. Filler makes my nose straight and slightly upturned (which I want), my lips look SO much better and still natural, but my cheeks are the main thing that really help me as they give the illusion of a lifted face, less heaviness of the lower face and my under eye area looks much more "firm" - the skin looks thicker and smoother.
I have used fillers 2 time for my lips and first time yesterday for my lower face. I love the look. But i have done threads 2 times before and started with RF micro last month. I will definitely try the blood injection too for more youthful skin.
I use fillers to even out asymmetries in my face…the left side of my face is narrower and abit more sunken than my right side. I’m not 40 yet, and I’ve been using fillers for this purpose for a few years now.
I didn’t start getting fillers until I was about 55, and I think it helped tremendously I do have different ethnicities. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. I definitely don’t look overdone, and I make sure to tell my injector I don’t want to look over Done. I want to look natural.
It’s not our fault that filler comes in a tiny syringe and that amount costs over $700 almost everywhere. I’ve gone to multiple consultations where nurses will act like I am naïve and crazy for asking for a small amount and they tell me that half a syringe won’t do anything. The first time I got chin filler it was half a syringe and I loved it, looked great, natural, wouldn’t have wanted any more even though the first doctor I saw wanted to put THREE syringes and quoted me at over $2000. Maybe the practitioner should place more onus on the manufacturer for not making a product with adequate dosages because they all assure me that one/ half a syringe won’t be enough to do anything. Or maybe you’re just not resourceful or talented enough? Don’t blame me for not wanting to spend my entire last months pay on a dollop more of your product. Aren’t we supposed to be paying extra for the expertise anyway? That’s what I’m always told, not necessarily the product. Gosh this gets me fired up, rant over.
This!!!!! I’ve found a few people that are actually good and won’t fill your face up And I’ve also had doctors. Not just nurses. Doctors as well. Push insane amounts of filler and Botox on me speaking to me like I’m an idiot when I refuse. Not enough honest people in the business and they should not have licences to inject these fillers imo
Well, you should come to Europe for treatment. Flight included and would still cost less. Allergan Voluma or Juvederm or fillers like Tehoxane go at about 200eur per vial. In Italy I have a provider with excellent expertise, I get 3 vials Hyaluronic all over my face once a year, plus PRP once a year, Sculptra also once a year and chemical peels regularly, and botox, also once a year. I'm 53 and I look younger than my early 40's.
Thanks so much for the content. Great to know about the options for saggy skin. It would be great if you could tell us what are the treatments suitable for skin with melasma. It's just so difficult to know what can be done for anti-aging, saggy skin and wrinkles around the eyes and lips without making melasma worse. I hope you can make a video talking about tbis topic. Thank you very much Dr. Rajani. God bless you.
I like natural treatments. EZ gel sounds great. Also cosmetic acupuncture over time gives surprising results if you you not worried about instant gratification.
This was very helpful. I’m actually scheduled for filler injections in 2 weeks but I now think I’m going to pass I don’t want that look. I did a CO2 laser peel which I like so I think I’m going to stop. Thanks so much.
Saving up to come see you asap! I am 33 and starting to see signs of aging, i love that you show your expertise on here, it makes me feel so confident in your abilities and your knowledge! I dont know what treatments are best for me but i will love to hear your recommendations, so excited you are in pdx!
I had ultherapy laser and IPL done 20 months ago, the result was devastating, I lost so much fat in my face, I don’t know what to do to rectify this, these damn machines should’ve banned
So interesting! This all makes sense now. I just wonder why so many celebrities over 40 have these fillers put in. Seems like they are going to the wrong doctors.
Now I might agree that fillers alone aren’t enough after 40. I definitely feel that I need a combination of PTO,PCL threads, fillers, skin, boosters, and things like micro needling.
I was ready to judge & disagree with you. Decided to step over my own ego & defensiveness & listen, and wow! Thank you so much for this info!! Glad I listened 😊
Thank You Pinky. I work every day in my clinic I see things first hand and I share what I see and believe to be true. many will advise you on youtube and do not even practice medicine or do the procedures.
I got my first filler (Juvederm) at age 63 and I only wanted it for faint marionette lines (I have a thing about those) and to lift the corners of my downturned mouth. It worked GREAT! I'm pretty much wrinkle free otherwise as I've stayed out of the sun for 30 years. Fast forward to now age 67. I recently went back to my derm for the same treatment. It didn't add volume, but it didn't work nearly as well as 4 years ago. I can still see faint marionette lines and it bugs me. I guess that's it for me as far as Juvederm. :(
Thank you for sharing with us. If they are faint perhaps you will learn to live with them if they are not too pronounced. I understand I'm going through the same situation currently. I've never had them done before seems like a woke up one morning and they were there staring 😳 back at me lol. Bothered by them.
I understand too. I am 63 and woke up one day and I had slight marionettes. They are the only thing that bothers me on my face. I have never had any filler or anything but heard that facelift is the only thing that can get rid of them as one needs lifting. So been contemplating that but seems such a shame as that is the only thing I really dislike. So simple but not! I wished there was a magic pill for those!
Had my first filler at 57 never needed it, I take good care of myself eat healthy, no sugar! Do not drink or smoke and started hormones in my forties for peri menopause which actually was a God send, it helps with saggy skin, bone loss and elasticity when our body looses those hormones you begin to dry out. Anyone that makes you feel bad about taking hormones or getting filler/Botox tell them to mind their own business! Do what is best for you!
Same here. I dont drink or smoke no sugar. I had small doses filter at 42 . No wrinkels before. More sculpt face. Nobody think Im over 40. Could you please give info about hormons. Im not in meno pauze. But Im interesting in which hormons will benefit
I love this video. I have learned alot over the years about my own skin. And I've looked at so many procedures, wondering which ones would be a solution and affordable ones? Honestly, it's depressing that I have no money for any of it. Therefore, I stopped watching videos about procedures. I also watched many of your videos Dr. Rajani. I think you're great with great advice. THIS VIDEO has made me hopeful that I have a solution which I could perhaps afford some day soon. I'm in Western Canada and I would someday like to see you for procedures.
I find my face responds more to consuming marine collagen. I make sure to also take hyaluronic acid, Vit C, K2 M7 and Vit D with my collagen. I also take bovine collagen for my joints, nails, hair. I notice if I skip a few weeks my face starts to look different. Also never skip using sunblock!
I made very good experiences with face yoga. Since I am doing it, I have a more contured face, it is slimmer and my jaw line has become sharper. I combine it with a Gua Sha massage in the morning and evening, doesn't need that long as it sounds, when I apply my skin care products. I am 40. I have always looked younger, but with face yoga improved my face once more. You have to train the muscles and fascia in your face. Face yoga is also good for your lymph system and increases the blood flow. But this of course is not a quick fix. You need to do it every day for at least 15 min. But I think it is a good invest in myself and maybe I can delay the sagging of my face for a while. I think everyone has the time. Think of all the minutes we loose during the day with things that are a waste of time.
Recently the heat devices are actually being criticized for attributing to facial fat loss. Not what you want when trying to restore facial fat and collagen volume in face.
I couldn't imagine getting anything done at 40, I tried at 45 and the doctor refused to do anything and refunded me my money, he said, I just needed to sleep but what I really needed was under eye filler. I didn't get it until I was 52 and I can say it was life changing, so far it's the one thing I will do but I don't want fillers, draws water, I want to try the plasma gel that you recommended but I have no idea who does that in Toronto 🙄
It also depends on what the person wants to accomplish with the filler. I’ve also had a facelift and am well aware that filler won’t lift. Otherwise I really enjoy your videos and techniques. You’re very knowledgeable.
Uh oh hon I was told not to do any fillers or botox until 40. Just lasers. Which I did. I started fillers at 40 😬Even my acupuncturist thought I was 10/15 years younger - until I hit menopause which happened 2021 now I look 40. 🤯😵💫Just had Morpheus done.
I am 46 an African American I have always looked very young but the laugh lines were a no go. I got filler yesterday and I am loving it already. I was scared to do it at first but I may even do under eye filler next. So I think everyone is different. I definitely take good care of myself
I lather olive oil on my skin, followed by volume filler, retinol, triple revitalift creams and pepsides, by Loriel. I use retinol drops, hydrochloric acid drops, and roc crepe erase cream For my arms. At the end, I use vitamin c water based roc cream on my face.
Truly unpopular here. I didn't even get filler until 60. Or botox for that matter. OK I'm youthful, good skin, in great shape too. I used Voluma (cheek), and Volbella under eye. I also began using retinol and then Tretinoin thereafter. It all came together for me. I love the way I look at 66. However.....I do love your work too. You're a favorite of mine even if I don't always agree - so I appreciate your channel!
Maybe it’s how much these ppl used? I got juvaderm at 43 , small amount in cheeks, temples, jawline and it took years off my face , no more pre-jowl, and made me look like I had a good nights sleep. I’m 46 and only touched up my temples this year, filler last a long time!! That said I’d like to do skin tightening from my age now forward . I like facial structure , as we get older fuller face (of filler/water) doesn’t equal youth or health to me , it looks unhealthy.
Totally agree!! I’m 56 and just got Sculptra. I’m hopeful it will be the solution for me. I definitely did not want regular fillers. It just looks bad on older people. And lumpy
My injector said placing the filler into the marionette line doesn’t help correct the wrinkle. You need to address the upper cheek first and then the line becomes less pronounced. Later you can put some filler directory into the lines but be careful if the first option is to inject directly into the lines themselves
Just save your money until you have enough for the surgery. That’s my advice for someone who has tried filler, Sculptra and Botox. Just pay up and pull it back. Everything else is just temporary. If you add up all the money you’ve spent on temporary fixes you could have had a facelift or even Two!
TRUE but facelifts do not adress loss of fat and volume in the eye sockets, temples and cheekbones. You can Pull everything up but the more rounded, filler cheekbones and a heart-shaped face look young.
For me, I already have a heart shaped face and high cheek bones. My problem was saggy jowls. Personally, I do not care for the look of “fat” in the face. I have friends who have gotten addicted to filler. As the doctor points out in this video, filler can be overdone. Sure, you could still get filler after lifting if that’s your thing, I just find it unnecessary. Sculptra would be the only thing I would recommend to someone looking for an alternative to surgery, but in “my opinion” surgery is the way to get the lasting, satisfying results.
@@qtyogini7486 yes I think as someone has pointed out, fillers Need to be seens as make up for specific occasions but not as a yearly thing. Sculptra, PRP, Hyperdiluted radiesse and botox give much more natural results but yes a vertical facelift is the only thing that can give dramatic and long lasting results especially after a certain age where it's not just the loss of volume creating imperfections but an overall laxity of the fascia deep within.
