Why Does Our Face Appear Tired ?

The face is one of the most exposed areas of the body to external aggressions. Extremely sensitive, it is easily affected by signs of fatigue such as wrinkles, dark circles, or a dull complexion. Several factors can contribute to a tired appearance.

The primary cause is skin sagging. The skin contains collagen and elastin, two proteins that provide structure and hydration. Their production decreases over time, causing the skin to loosen and sag, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Muscular tissues lose their support, giving rise to the tear trough, the groove that appears between the cheekbone and the nose. Expression lines also form due to the repeated contractions of facial muscles.

Other factors may also contribute, including :

  • Stress
  • Lack of sleep
  • Poor diet
  • Significant sun exposure
  • Alcohol and smoking
  • Hereditary factors

Treatments to Combat a Tired Appearance at Dr. Aimé’s Clinic

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, Dr. Aimé offers several aesthetic medicine solutions to address the signs of fatigue.

Hyaluronic Acid

A substance naturally produced by the body, hyaluronic acid injections in the nasolabial folds fill and correct volume loss. Its hydrating and volumizing properties also help smooth wrinkles. This treatment provides immediate results, giving the face a fresher and more rejuvenated appearance.

Botox

Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, is widely used in aesthetic medicine for its muscle-relaxing effects. Once injected, Botox prevents the contraction of certain facial muscles responsible for the formation of expression lines. This method is highly effective for rejuvenating the upper facial features, resulting in a more rested and youthful look.

Plexr

Plexr is a technique that creates microlesions using a heat source on targeted areas of the skin’s superficial layers. This process causes the skin to contract and tighten. The treated area becomes smoother and more taut. This treatment is particularly well-suited for addressing drooping eyelids and wrinkles around the eyes, helping to rejuvenate and refresh the gaze.

Thread Lifts

Thread lifts are an effective treatment for tightening tissues and correcting facial sagging. This technique involves inserting resorbable, biocompatible threads under the skin, which lift, hydrate, and stimulate collagen production.

Fractional Laser

Non-ablative fractional laser treatment smooths the skin, corrects enlarged pores, and reduces wrinkles and scars. The laser beam penetrates the upper layers of the skin to reach the deep dermis. By stimulating collagen production, this method allows the skin to regenerate, reducing imperfections and leaving the complexion bright and refreshed.

Microneedling Skin Pen

Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation technique that involves creating thousands of superficial micro-perforations using fine needles. This advanced technology stimulates collagen production, the molecule responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. It helps even out the complexion and reduce fine lines, spots, and scars.
