YouthfulU: The Problem
From plant extracts to the use of animal extracts, the beauty and cosmetics industry has had some crazy ideas to fight of aging. But the truth is there is no magical shortcuts, no snake oils or plant extracts that can fully reverse the effects of aging unless they take into account that facial bones change shape and mass as we age, in turn, this leads to wrinkles, age lines, sagging midface, etc. making us look older.
While plastic surgeons are undoubtedly experts at managing age-related changes to the soft tissues and skin, to give people their youthful face back, they must understand how time affects the undelying facial bone structure. A beautiful face is composed of youthful bone structure and healthy skin.
In principle, therefore, to get back your youthful face, you must correct all changes time has made on your facial skin, soft tissues, and underlying bones. Otherwise, any soft tissue lifts and redraping without addressing the changes the facial skeleton has undergone over time is a waste of money.
If you are thinking of purchasing a beauty device that reverses the effects of aging, therefore, you must get your mitts on a powerful device that enhances the facial skeleton using some cosmetic effect. Correction of the facial skeletal framework is the only surest way to achieve a natural and full rejuvenation of the face. scientists have identified the following changes in facial skeletal structure as we age:
The eye socket becomes larger
As we grow older, our eye sockets become larger, and the angle of the brow reduces. Scientists say the reduction in the angle of the bones beneath the eyebrow is responsible for the “crow’s effect,” i.e., the formation of frown lines, droopy eyelids, and sunken eyes when fat moves from the eyelids and into the eye sockets. These changes occur in both women and men, but in men, they show up a bit late at the start of middle age.
The nose becomes bigger and starts drooping
Another finding from the analysis of facial bone structure at different ages is that the nose tends to widen, increase in length, and sag with age. On your face, the nose is the centerpiece of attraction, any changes in nasal shape, size, and length affect your facial aesthetics significantly. Thankfully, there are corrective options to undo the effects of time on your nasal bone structure. Medial crural -septum suturing, for example, has proved useful in helping to maintain nasal tip projection
The angle of lower jaw bone drops
Aging also affects the midface skeleton: nose and jawbones. Generally, aging leads to a loss in jaw bone mass such that the size of the lower face reduces, in turn leading to the pronounced forehead, mouth, and nose. The angle of the lower jaw bone also drops with age due to a decrease in height and length of the lower jaw.
Loss in facial bone mass is due to the loss of bone mineral density. And since the jaw is the foundation of everyone’s lower face, a decline in jaw volume affects facial fairness. Mid-facial aging contributes to the sagging facial skin, hallowing under the eyes, and formation of nasolabial wrinkles.
Facial rejuvenation procedures should, therefore, be two-fold, i.e., skin-tightening procedures should only come after the restoration of underlying facial bones. To get back your jaw-line definition, you can use Youthful U’s smart beauty device to create a cosmetic effect that enhances and reshapes the facial structure around the upper gum area (called the maxilla) and midface. The device enhances the upper jaw area and plumps the facial gaps around age lines and cheekbones. Users can wear it all day long to look 5 to 10 years younger.
