Maintaining your V-shaped facial contours

A V-shaped face is coveted by many and with medical aesthetic technology on the rise, there are several non-invasive methods to help you achieve the slim and defined jawline of your dreams without any surgical procedures.

Be it using radiofrequency energy or dermal fillers, these treatments are all completely customisable when done with an experienced aesthetic doctor, to lift and tighten the skin and improve one’s facial proportions.

As with any aesthetic treatment, post-treatment care is crucial to help you maintain and prolong your V-shaped results. Here are some aftercare tips that may be beneficial to you.

Follow post-procedure instructions

Post-treatment, your aesthetic doctor will share with you a list of to-dos and not-to-dos to aid your recovery process. It is important to follow this list to help speed up recovery, reduce chances of inflammation and potential side effects that may hinder your recovery journey.

Maintain skin hygiene

It is more important than ever to maintain good skin hygiene while your skin is recovering. This includes ensuring the treated area is clean and dry. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid any harsh ingredients that may agitate the skin.

Be gentle with your skin

Your skin may feel a little tender now after treatment and it is important to treat it with tender loving care. Now is not the time to be using products containing acids or retinols in them. Instead, treat your skin to soothing and hydrating products to promote skin healing. These don’t just feel good, they are also good for your skin.

Eat a balanced diet & stay hydrated

You are what you eat. Now that you have completed the treatment on the outside, allow your body to heal from the inside by nourishing it with healthy food and plenty of water. Choose foods that are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that can help with skin health and promote a quicker recovery.

Sleep well

Sometimes easier said than done, but if you could aim for seven to nine hours of sleep a night, your body will thank you for it. Sleep is restorative, as it allows the brain and body to slow down and to engage in the recovery process. Good sleep also reduces levels of stress hormones, also known as cortisol, promoting growth and effectively rebuilding injured tissues.
