Our skin changes as we age, it’s just a part of growing older.. It becomes thinner, loses fat, and no longer looks as plump and smooth as it once did. Facial aging actually begins in your 20s, when skin firmness begins to decrease as a result of both internal (genetics and natural aging) and external (sun exposure, smoking, pollution, sleeping positions, etc) factors.
Thankfully, your friends here at Hello Smooth have ways of helping you fight back against these changes to help you age a little more gracefully, and on your terms. One of our most popular and effective techniques involves the proper use of dermal fillers.
