I look sad

Sometimes, our faces betray us. The natural aging of the skin can fix negative expressions that don’t match our emotions. Even when we feel happy and joyful, our features may express the opposite. Aesthetic medicine offers several effective, safe, and minimally invasive treatments to restore the cheerfulness of your face and bring back a positive expression.

What Causes a Sad Appearance ?

A sad look on the face can be attributed to several causes. The primary cause is skin sagging. Over time, the skin produces less collagen and elastin, two substances essential for its firmness and hydration. As these components decrease, the skin sags and loses volume.

This leads to the appearance of wrinkles. Certain wrinkles, such as marionette lines at the corners of the mouth and the tear trough between the nose and the cheeks, contribute to a sad expression. The face also tends to droop, with jowls forming and the facial contour reversing, giving a gloomy appearance.

Lifestyle factors such as lack of sleep, smoking, and alcohol consumption can worsen this sad impression.

Treatments to Correct a Sad Facial Expression at Dr. Aimé’s Clinic

Aesthetic medicine offers reliable solutions to restore a cheerful and positive expression to your face. Dr. Aimé brings her expertise to guide you through this process. A precise clinical examination will determine a personalized treatment plan to help you regain joyful features.

Hyaluronic Acid

Widely used in aesthetic medicine, hyaluronic acid is a macromolecule naturally produced by the body. This substance has hydrating and viscoelastic properties that help fill and smooth wrinkles, brightening the face.

Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency is a treatment that enhances skin firmness. This advanced technology tones and smooths the skin, stimulating the deep dermis for tightening. Electromagnetic waves combat the sagging that contributes to a sad expression.

Botox

Botulinum toxin, or Botox, is used for its muscle-relaxing properties. Botox corrects wrinkles by relaxing certain facial muscles. Its inhibiting effect prevents the formation of expression lines, such as crow’s feet or frown lines, making the face appear fresher and more joyful.

Thread Lifts

This technique, known as a “medical lift,” tightens the skin without surgery or scars. The biocompatible threads used in thread lifts smooth wrinkles without surgery. They also have a regenerating effect by stimulating collagen production, rejuvenating the face and eliminating its gloomy appearance.

Plexr

Plexr involves creating micro-lesions on targeted areas of the skin’s superficial layers using a heat source. This causes skin contraction and tissue tightening. It is used to smooth wrinkles and tighten excess skin on the upper eyelid. This treatment is particularly recommended for those who prefer non-invasive procedures, as it requires no incisions or sutures.

Results After Aesthetic Treatment to Eliminate a Sad Expression

The various techniques used by Dr. Aimé ensure natural results in addressing the multiple effects of skin sagging.
