THE FACE YOU WANT AT 50 IS BEING BUILT AT 40… ✨
But probably not in the way you think! 👀
One of the most common questions I hear in clinic is…
💬 “Mellissa, what treatment do you think I need?”
And my answer isn’t always what people expect.
Because facial ageing isn’t just about wrinkles. And it certainly isn’t just about Botox and filler!
Ageing happens in multiple layers. 🧬
As we get older, so many changes are happening beneath the surface.
✨ SKIN – Collagen and elastin gradually decline, affecting firmness, hydration, texture and elasticity.
✨ MUSCLE – Changes in muscle activity, tone and repeated facial expressions contribute to lines and changes in facial appearance.
✨ FAT PADS – Facial fat compartments can lose volume and change position, contributing to hollowing, folds and changes in facial contours.
✨ BONE – Our facial skeleton changes with age too! Gradual bone resorption can affect the support of our cheeks, eyes and jawline.
✨ HORMONES – Particularly during perimenopause and menopause, declining oestrogen can influence collagen, hydration, skin thickness and elasticity.
✨ LIFESTYLE – Sun exposure, sleep, nutrition, stress, exercise and skincare all play a part in how our skin ages.
So why does understanding all this matter?
Because two women of exactly the same age can have completely different concerns.
One might benefit from collagen stimulation, another from improving skin quality, while someone else may benefit from restoring lost volume.
And sometimes? All that’s needed is a really good skincare routine. 🤍
At Clinetics Medispa, we have so many options available, from medical-grade skincare and Dermapen 4 microneedling to CO₂ laser resurfacing, Sculptra, regenerative treatments and carefully placed injectables.
But having all these treatments doesn’t mean you need them all!
My approach has always been to assess, educate and create a personalised plan rather than simply treating what we see on the surface.
💫 It’s not about looking 25 again.
💫 It’s not about changing your face.
💫 And it’s definitely not about having more and more treatments.
It’s about understanding how YOUR face is ageing and making informed decisions that support your skin and natural features over time.
And remember, you don’t suddenly need to start having treatments at 40. It’s never too early to look after your skin, and it’s never too late to start. ❤️
Ageing is a privilege. Looking after yourself is a choice.
Love,
