There’s a moment in our 30s and 40s where something shifts.
We’re working mornings, nights, weekends. We’re travelling more than we rest. We’re doing our skincare routines at airport sinks, or forgetting them completely. And then one day, under a bathroom light or a front-facing camera, we notice it: things have changed.

Not in a bad way — just in a way we didn’t get the memo for.

So we start scrolling. We screenshot. We save. We fall into rabbit holes of skincare jargon and aesthetic trends that promise everything, everywhere, all at once. It’s overwhelming to figure out what actually works, what’s safe, and what’s right for our face.

This guide is not medical advice.
It’s not a prescription.
It’s a starting point — editorial direction for the woman who wants to refresh, not reinvent.

If something speaks to you, book a consultation with a licensed medical professional and get advice tailored to your skin. These are the treatments currently trending for good reason: they’re subtle, strategic, and focused on making you look like you, but rested.

1. Polynucleotide “Salmon” Under-Eye Injections

Best for: tired eyes, crepey texture, early fine lines
Why it’s trending: Supports regeneration + elasticity. Results look like sleep, not filler.

Energy: “I finally had a week off.”
Ask your practitioner about: PN/PN-H (polynucleotide) formulas

2. Skin Booster Hydration (Profilo / Hyaluronic Boosters)

Best for: dullness, loss of bounce, dryness
Why it’s trending: Micro-droplet hydration that lives inside the skin, not on top of it.

Energy: “My skincare routine is finally paying off.”
Ask your practitioner about: hyaluronic booster protocols for your age

3. Microneedling + Exosomes

Best for: texture, scars, pores, overall tone
Why it’s trending: boosts natural repair and glow; great for people not ready for injectables.

Energy: “New skin loading…”
Ask your practitioner about: series vs. one-off sessions

4. IPL / BBL Photofacial

Best for: pigmentation, sun damage, redness
Why it’s trending: evens tone + brightens without fillers; works well for women who spend time outdoors or travel a lot.

Energy: “My foundation just sits better now.”
Ask your practitioner about: downtime + suitability for your skin tone (important!)

5. HydraFacial + Lymphatic Drainage

Best for: instant glow, puffiness, event prep, jet lag
Why it’s trending: non-invasive, high payoff, makes makeup apply like silk.

Energy: “Yes, I slept. No, I didn’t.”
Ask your practitioner about: lymphatic add-ons for jawline + cheekbone definition

How to Start Without Losing Your Mind

Don’t book everything at once

Start with hydration or texture before volume

Ask questions, not for “what she had”

Your face is not a trend — your treatment plan shouldn’t be either

This year’s beauty direction takes cues from the runways, but it’s not about recreating catwalk makeup at a desk. It’s about elevating the everyday — boardroom to business lounge, private members club to red-eye flight, meetings to martinis. Beauty that performs with precision, not effort.

This is the VOIR Power Edit: runway-informed upgrades for the CEO, the founder, the decision-maker — and the woman building her place at the table.

1. Strategic Skin (The Era of Skinification)

Skin becomes the strategy. Coverage is curated, ingredients matter, and complexion products behave like skincare — because they are.

Upgrade: skin tints > foundations, micro-concealing > masking.
Energy: expensive, not effortful.

Recommended:

• Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint — sheer tint that behaves like skincare
• Dior Backstage Face & Body Concealer — pinpoint, micro-conceal perfection
• La Mer The Radiant SkinTint SPF30 — investment complexion with skincare payoff

2. Executive Red

Red lips return as a signature, not a statement.
Brick, wine, oxblood — tones that feel investment-level. Less “date night red”, more “she owns the building”.

Upgrade: velvet textures > gloss; fingertip-blurred edges > liner rigidity.

Recommended:

• Hermès Rouge Hermès in Rouge H — boardroom red, velvet finish
• YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Velvet — blurred power matte
• Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Lunaison (deep wine) — statement for evenings

3. Mascara-Free Minimalism

The most expensive thing a woman can wear? Restraint.
Runway-backed, CEO-approved: curled lashes, conditioned, no pigment.

Where it performs: travel days, post-facial weeks, negotiations.

Recommended:

• Shiseido Eyelash Curler — the gold standard
• Tom Ford Emotionproof Eye Definer (clear) — to set curl without pigment
• Augustinus Bader The Lash & Brow Serum — strength, length, zero build-up

4. Chrome as Jewellery

Chrome lids become accessories — a swipe of mirrored taupe or liquid silver, like jewellery for the eyes.

Rule: one feature at a time.
Paired with: bare lashes, neutral lip.

Recommended:

Pat McGrath Labs Eye Gloss + Metal Pigments — molten metal couture
Chanel Ombre Première Laque in Metallic Platinum — liquid chrome luxe
Victoria Beckham Beauty Lid Lustre in ‘Mirror’ — runway shine, wearable

5. Sculpted Blush for Structural Integrity

Bronzer is out. Blush architecture is in.
Placement sculpts the face like tailoring sculpts a suit.

Upgrade: temples > cheekbones > orbital lift.
Outcome: eight hours of sleep in one brushstroke.

Recommended:

• Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks in ‘Poppet’ — natural lift, zero streak
• By Terry Brightening CC Blush — filters light without sparkle
• Chantecaille Cheek Gelee — editorial flush, skincare-feel texture

6. Quiet Luxury Nails

Short. Glossy. Neutral.
A manicure that whispers “net worth”, not “nail trend”.

Details:
— micro French
— negative space lining
— chrome dot at the cuticle

Ideal for: signatures, boarding passes, champagne flutes.

7. Fragrance Layering as Personal Branding

Scent as identity.
A CEO doesn’t have a “signature scent” — she has a fragrance strategy.

Formula: skin musk + white floral for day
     smoked wood + linen accords for night

It should smell like a decision.

Recommended:

• Maison Francis Kurkdjian — Baccarat Rouge + À la Rose (Day-to-night contrast)
• Byredo Blanche + Mojave Ghost (clean skin + depth)
• Creed Aventus for Her + Love in White (boardroom to yacht)

8. Monochrome as Efficiency

One shade, full face: terracotta, mauve, caramel.
Cohesion reads polished — even on two hours sleep and a 6AM flight.

Upgrade: one cream stick that does eyes/cheeks/lips in 60 seconds.

Recommended:

• Nudestix Nudies Matte Blush & Bronze — one stick, full face
• Charlotte Tilbury Beach Stick — cheeks/eyes/lips cohesion
• Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick (for dimension)

9. Brows as Character Development

Brows shift from laminated to structured.
A soft, brushed line that suggests you were born organised.

Upgrade: gel + micro pencil, nothing glossy.

Recommended:

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz — micro-detail architecture
• Refy Brow Sculpt — structure without gloss
• Victoria Beckham BabyBlade — CEO-coded precision

Beauty in 2026 is defined by intentionality.
It’s not about looking younger — it’s about looking expensive, efficient, and entirely self-authored.
Runway aesthetics meet real-world performance, reimagined for the woman who leads — and the one preparing her seat.

This is everyday beauty — upgraded.

There’s a quiet kind of luxury that hums through Monaco in autumn — when the yachts fade from the harbour, and the Riviera air softens from gold to glass. It’s here, behind the marble façade of the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, that Guerlain has unveiled a sanctuary of stillness.

Originally launched in late summer, the Guerlain Spa at Hôtel Métropole has quickly become Monaco’s most whispered-about escape. The moment you step inside, it feels less like a spa and more like a cinematic pause — a mineral cocoon where every surface, every scent, seems to slow the world by design.

Designed by Samy Itani and the Itani & Courtois agency, the space is drenched in textured stone, raw wood, and muted gold — evoking the Riviera’s natural palette in its most intimate form. The architecture is less about spectacle and more about sensation. Light falls like silk through sculpted corridors; marble meets warm timber; the air hums faintly with Guerlain’s signature fragrance — a custom blend of citrus and sandalwood that anchors the body before a single touch begins.

The spa features ten treatment rooms, including a VIP double suite, and a full thermal experience: sauna, hammam, experiential showers, and a delicate ice fountain that shocks the skin awake after deep relaxation.

But the true magic lies in Guerlain’s three exclusive rituals, each created specifically for the Métropole. Golden Sand melts tension away on a bed of warm quartz stones — a slow, hypnotic body treatment that feels like sunlight beneath the skin. Monaco Glow uses white quartz tools and cotton veils to illuminate the complexion, while Puissance du Rocher sculpts and stretches the body with movements inspired by the Principality’s cliffs — grounding yet transcendent.

Between treatments, guests drift to the relaxation lounge, where time seems suspended. Herbal tea served in porcelain cups, the faint sound of water echoing off stone — it’s a place where indulgence and introspection coexist effortlessly.

As October unfolds, this is the Riviera’s best-kept secret: a retreat for those who understand that true radiance doesn’t rush. Whether you come for an hour or a weekend, you leave recalibrated — refined, restored, radiant — the season’s quiet luxury distilled into a single experience.

Booking Info: https://metropole.com/en/pages/spa-montecarlo/spa-metropole-by-guerlain

Ivory packaging, shimmer lips, and a marshmallow-sweet scent to match—Valentino Beauty throws the party of the year, and it smells divine.

On September 10, Valentino Beauty isn’t just dropping a new collection—it’s resurrecting Studio 54 for one night only. Yes, that Studio 54. In true Italian couture-meets-uptown-glamour fashion, the House is transforming New York City’s most iconic nightspot into a glittering beauty sanctuary for the launch of the Rendez-Vous Ivory collection.

This is not your average product drop. It’s an invitation-only, flashbulb-popping, disco-drenched celebration for beauty editors, fashion royalty, and those few lucky enough to have lived through the original Studio 54. Think: Adut Akech mid-spin, toffee-toned lips, and Born in Roma vibes pulsing through the glitter.

The Collection: Ivory Dreams Meet Couture Rebellion

The Rendez-Vous Ivory collection includes limited-edition remixes of three Valentino best-sellers:

Born in Roma Donna Eau de Parfum – sweet orange blossom, marshmallow, vanilla, white musk

Born in Roma Uomo Eau de Toilette – amber, bergamot, lavandin, with a smoky fireplace accord

Spike Valentino Buttery Matte Lipstick in two new shades: warm pink toffee and terrazzo red

Each is dressed in ivory with gold accents—an aesthetic nod to vintage glamour with a very now edge.

And in case you thought shimmer was over? Wrong. The lipsticks are joined by a rose-gold shimmer topper infused with Roma Light Complex—designed to catch the flash of a thousand dance floors.

The Vibe: Sensuality, Studio Lights & Skin Like Velvet

Born in Roma has always been about duality—feminine with edge, romance with rebellion. But this Rendez-Vous edition adds a layer of Studio 54 audacity. It’s not just beauty, it’s a throwback to the unapologetic glamour of when makeup was a mood, not a routine.

Expect supermodel skin, archival glamour, and that Valentino confidence you don’t just wear—you project.

SEE YOU ON THE GUEST LIST.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural component of the human body that we produce less of as we age. At what age do you recommend starting these treatments? Should we aim to prevent ageing or reverse its effects with skin boosters?

That’s a fantastic question. Hyaluronic acid is essential for maintaining skin hydration and elasticity as it helps skin cells bind with water. While drinking water is crucial for overall health, HA ensures that the hydration benefits reach the skin. Our skin starts losing about 25% of its collagen by age 25 and about 50% by age 40, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and reduced volume. Therefore, starting HA treatments around 25 is ideal for prevention. For those noticing ageing signs in their 30s or beyond, HA can help reverse these effects, rejuvenating the skin.

Skin Boosters are marketed as a more ‘natural’ alternative to dermal fillers. Is this true?

Yes, exactly. Research has shown that fillers can last up to 12 years under your skin, so having regular filler appointments without necessity is not recommended. However, dermal fillers are very useful when used correctly to enhance natural beauty and address specific areas where there is a loss of volume.

Skin Boosters, on the other hand, are designed to rejuvenate your skin cells. They work by hydrating the skin from within and stimulating collagen production, which helps to reduce dryness, wrinkles, and fine lines. The result is skin that looks refreshed, glowing, and healthy.

In essence, while dermal fillers provide immediate volume and contour, Skin Boosters promote long-term skin health and a more natural enhancement by improving the skin’s overall quality. This makes Skin Boosters an excellent option for those looking to achieve a more subtle and natural rejuvenation.

Is injecting HA directly under the skin the best method for achieving bright, full, and glowing skin? Can’t this be achieved with external cosmetics like HA serums or facials?

HA serums are beneficial for those who are consistent with their skincare routines. However, the epidermis, the outer skin layer, is tougher to penetrate, limiting the effectiveness of topical HA. Injections target deeper skin layers directly, providing hydration where it’s most needed, and the volume of HA delivered is greater, leading to more noticeable and quicker results. Treatments with HA injections typically take about 20 minutes and are recommended every 4-6 weeks, offering a manageable and effective regimen.

Dermal fillers last 9-12 months, while Skin Boosters last about 6 months and need more frequent maintenance. Why might Skin Boosters be the better alternative?

As I mentioned before, depending on where filler has been injected, it can last up to 12 years. Our preferred approach to treating clients is to start by rejuvenating the skin with Skin Boosters, laser treatments, and facials, reserving fillers as the last option.

The reason we prioritise Skin Boosters is that they offer a comprehensive approach to enhancing skin health. They hydrate and stimulate the skin’s own collagen production, which improves overall skin texture, reduces fine lines, and adds a natural glow. This creates a foundation of healthy, radiant skin that can be further enhanced if needed.

Fillers are fantastic for adding volume and contour where there is a significant loss, and they can deliver amazing, confidence-boosting results. However, we find that starting with Skin Boosters allows us to address underlying skin issues, creating a better canvas. Once the skin is rejuvenated and healthy, the need for fillers might be reduced, or their effects can be optimised.

In summary, while fillers can provide remarkable results in terms of volume and shaping, Skin Boosters play a crucial role in overall skin health and rejuvenation. By starting with Skin Boosters, we ensure that the skin is in its best possible condition, making any subsequent filler treatments more effective and natural-looking.

Could you explain the different types of Skin Boosters and why they vary in price?

Sure. Skin Boosters differ in their formulations and benefits, leading to varying prices:

• Profilo: Uses advanced HA technology for deep hydration, improving skin texture and elasticity.
• Seventy Hyal: Affordable, primarily hydrating the skin and enhancing its natural glow.
• Volume: Adds volume and lifts, suitable for significant volume loss.
• HAmonyCA: A hybrid combining HA with calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, providing immediate volumizing effects and long-term collagen stimulation.

Price differences stem from ingredients, formulation complexity, and the results they deliver. Advanced products with additional components like HAmonyCA offer more pronounced and longer-lasting effects, justifying their higher cost.

What are the risks associated with Skin Boosters compared to dermal fillers?

Skin Boosters generally carry similar risks to dermal fillers but with some distinctions:

• Common Risks: Injection site reactions, allergic reactions, infection, granulomas, and over- or under-correction.
• Lower Risk Profile: Skin Boosters, focusing on hydration and collagen stimulation, often have a lower risk of vascular complications compared to volumising fillers.
• Frequent Maintenance: Skin Boosters require more regular treatments, potentially reducing long-term risk but necessitating ongoing maintenance.

The ‘natural’ approach of Skin Boosters contributes to a slightly lower risk profile, but safety largely depends on the practitioner’s skill.

Are ‘top-up’ sessions for Skin Boosters the same price as regular sessions, or are they cheaper?

We offer packages to make regular treatments more cost-effective. For instance, 12 sessions of Seventy Hyal cost £1200, and 10 sessions of Profhilo are £2300. These packages provide ongoing maintenance at reduced rates, making it more economical for clients.

How can one decide which Skin Boosting treatment is best for them?

It’s essential to have a clear goal and conduct thorough research before making a decision. Understanding what you want to address—whether it’s hydration, texture, or volume—can guide your choice. Also, consider your budget, as different treatments come with varying price points. Choose a treatment that fits your budget while effectively addressing your skin concerns.

We offer free consultations in person, over the phone, and via WhatsApp to help you determine the best treatment for your specific needs and financial considerations. You can contact us at 020 8137 7177 to discuss your goals and find the most suitable Skin Boosting option for you.

What’s the aftercare for Skin Boosters like? Can someone get it during their lunch break, or is it more high-maintenance?

Skin Boosters are convenient with minimal aftercare:

• Immediate Post-Treatment: Mild redness and swelling typically subside within a few hours to days.
• Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous exercise and heat exposure for 24-48 hours.
• Skincare Routine: Use gentle products and maintain hydration.

The treatment is quick, around 20-30 minutes, with minimal downtime, making it feasible for a lunch break appointment.

Are Skin Boosters Painful?

If you’re considering Skin Boosters, you’ll be pleased to know they are generally much more comfortable than traditional dermal fillers. Here’s why skin boosters are less painful:

1. Soothing Gel Consistency: The softer, gel-like nature of Skin Boosters, thanks to their hyaluronic acid content, makes the injections smoother and less intense compared to the thicker, more volumizing dermal fillers. This means you’re likely to experience minimal discomfort during the treatment.

2. Gentle Injection Technique: Skin Boosters are typically injected using fine needles or cannulas, which are designed to minimise discomfort. We also use numbing creams or ice patches, ensuring a more pleasant experience with less pain.

3. Comfortable Treatment Areas: Since Skin Boosters target the superficial layers of the skin, the procedure is usually gentler. You’ll likely feel just a brief sensation of pressure or a light sting, but overall, the process is quite comfortable.

After the Treatment:

5. Minimal Downtime: Post-treatment, you might experience slight tenderness or redness, but this usually fades quickly. The comfort level is high, making it easy to get back to your daily activities without any hassle.

If you’re looking for a refreshing boost to your skin with minimal discomfort, Skin Boosters are an excellent choice. They offer effective hydration and rejuvenation with a gentle touch, making them a great option for anyone seeking both results and comfort.

Could you tell us a bit more about your client base? What is your main age range for these treatments?

Most of our clients are middle-aged ladies who are extremely busy with either their careers or families and are very health conscious and want treatments which are easily managed with subtle and natural results. With skin boosters, we are only treating your own skin cells to improve their volume, hydration and elasticity. We try to offer a treatment plan perfect for our client’s lifestyle.

The post Everything You Need to Know About Hyaluronic Acid and Skin Boosters appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Whilst we believe everyone is born with their own unique beauty, we don’t know anyone who would say no to the option of having more glowy, smoother, more radiant-looking skin. We at VOIR keep an avid eye on the world of A-list beauty treatments and were so intrigued to see the sheer volume of celebs dabbling in Oxylight Facials. This week we decided to try one for ourselves with the fantastic Justyna at GA Clinic and we need to tell you all about it. https://www.gennarodellaquila.co.uk/

Oxylight facials are a totally non-invasive procedure that combines various cutting-edge skincare technologies like LED light, high-pressure oxygen and negative pressure therapy systems.  One of the reasons this treatment in particular is having a major moment in the limelight is because of its versatility due to the variety of technologies used.

Whether you are struggling with fine lines, wrinkles, acne, scars, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, sagging skin and other signs of ageing, this 90-minute treatment is your new fairy godmother of skincare.

In recent years Oxylight Facials have been the particularly favoured facials for red carpet and everyday alike by the rich and famous, most notably including Madonna. Back in 2017 when it surfaced that Madonna was an Oxylight superfan, several articles spoke about it stating it was “a supercharged, state-of-the-art facial that employs more than one skincare technology” and a “complete workout for the skin”. GA Clinic offers VIP treatments due to the demand for A-listers. The Oxylight Facial incorporates the basics of a facial with these far more cutting-edge treatments to target a wide field of skin concerns. 

The facial was broken down into steps and products by Justyna for us every step of the way making it so much easier to understand. She first focused on giving the skin an antioxidant boost, that aims to brighten, refresh, and rejuvenate the complexion. This was done by using a lotion, serum and mask as well as, can you believe it, placenta serum, which helps with the post-inflammatory marks and boosts the healing processes of the skin.

Among the many currently well-known and commonly used antioxidants are coenzyme Q10, polyphenols, vitamin C, and lipoic acid, however, platinum is proven to be the most powerful antioxidant. Many researchers support platinum over other antioxidants as the “Final Weapon” when it comes to skin rejuvenation. Platinum works against all forms of active oxygen and acts as a catalyst which means it doesn’t lose its activity once they react with oxidants and it remains active as long as it stays in the skin.

The Oxylight Facial starts with microdermabrasion and lymphatic drainage, it then moves onto use an ultrasound on the skin to target deep hydration and utilizes microcurrents to lift and tighten the muscles – over time our muscles loosen and begin to sag, and this facial tones and tightens them right back up.

The treatment also included oxygen infusion, which is built to be as refreshing as the air in the Alps and targets blackheads and discolouration. Justyna recommended this facial be done 1-2 times a week for 8 sessions to achieve the most dramatic and perfect results.

We feel like this is the holy grail of skincare treatments. This magic cocktail of LED light therapy, oxygen infusion, microcurrent stimulation, and gentle exfoliation is the perfect mix of technologies. The facial stimulates collagen production and promotes cell regeneration. This helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and texture, resulting in smoother and more youthful-looking skin.

With the focus on skincare rocketing in the past few years, and trends getting weirder and weirder, the attention has shifted to what exact ingredients are being put into our much-loved beauty buys. These days a celebrity endorsement of a product is simply not enough. We want to know what the results are and why because thanks to social media we know of countless different products and procedures that go into today’s flawless looks. Beauty influencers like Tati or Skincare by Hyram have highlighted the importance of knowing the science behind skincare through detailed product reviews. So, how can we ensure that the products we buy have the results they are claiming to have? Ingredients. Becoming more aware of ingredients commonly used in products will inform you of the benefits within formulas and which products to use to get those highly-sought-after results.

Retinol is a form of vitamin A, best for reducing fine lines, sun damage and general ageing of skin. This bad boy increases the production of collagen. If you’re new to this ingredient, always start with a more dilute concentrate in order to build skin tolerance and also prevent skin irritation.

Recommended products:

• Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Retinol Capsules, £42

• The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane, £4.90

• The Inkey List Retinol Serum, £9.99

Using salicylic acid in your skincare can help reduce and fight the appearance of blemishes and scarring. Whilst it should not be used to fight acne or breakouts, it can help with the aftermath helping to lift dark marks left on the skin surface because this ingredient is a beta hydroxy acid that can exfoliate the skin.

Recommended products:

• The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque, £9.90

• NIP+FAB Teen Skin Fix Salicylic Acid Day Pads 60 Pads, £12.95

• Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, £23.80

Incorporating a product that contains hyaluronic acid into your regime will improve the appearance of your complexion by keeping moisture locked in at the surface. Cross polymer hyaluronic acid ensures hydration on many layers to your skin, so be sure to check your labels if you’re looking for maximum moisture. This acid can attract up to 1,000 times its weight in water so it’s a no brainer if you’ve got dry skin.

Recommended products:

• The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, £5.90

• Embryolisse Laboratories Hydra Mask, £22

• Pixi Hydrating Milky Mist, £18

If you’re looking to improve radiancy and the appearance of skin texture and rid of those dead skin cells, Glycolic acid is your guy. This is an ingredient used frequently in toners and can be swept across the face after cleansing. Because it is an exfoliant, again, it should be used with care and if it causes any irritation or sensitivity, abandoned at all costs.

Recommended products:

• The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, £6.80

• Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum, £76

• Ren Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask, £36.00

Azelaic acid is an ingredient already produced naturally by your skin and brightens the skin tone while visibly improving the evenness of skin texture and reducing the look of blemishes. It is a multi-functional ingredient and can be used in many different forms and products. An all-rounder product that is great to incorporate into your skincare regime.

Recommended products:

• The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, £5.50

• Paula’s Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster, £37

• Ren Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic, £27

From boarding gate selfies to golden-hour dinners in Capri, your travel look should be as flawless as your itinerary. But keeping your glam game strong while living out of a suitcase?

Final Word:
Jet-set glam isn’t about high maintenance — it’s about high intention. With the right prep, product picks, and packing plan, you can glide through airports, hotel lobbies, and cocktail hours looking like your best (and most hydrated) self. Because your glow? It should be just as non-stop as your flights.

Voir met with Dr. Alexys Reuter, an Independent Nurse Practitioner and Senior Injector at Thérapie Clinic, who guided us through a complete nasolabial fold procedure using dermal filler. Our in-depth coverage explores every step of this simple yet highly effective cosmetic treatment.

Dr. Reuter starts with evaluating the face and explains that “when it comes to the nasolabial folds (smile lines) you have to look at the face as a whole. Sometimes heavy nasolabial folds are the result of collagen and elastin loss through ageing or weight loss and therefore it can be more beneficial to fill the cheeks and/or temples.”

She adds that “if the cheeks are already full and the nasolabial folds are an isolated problem then there are different options; the two with the fastest results are dermal filler or Botox (botulinum toxin).”
Botox primarily focuses on preventing wrinkles, whereas dermal filler addresses and smooths the lines that already exist, and this is the procedure that we are focusing and guiding you on.

So what actually is dermal filler?
It is hyaluronic acid which is cross linked to add volume and fill out fine lines. This gives you immediate results however it can cause slight swelling for a few days. Results with dermal filler last longer than with Botox, typically 6-18 months depending on the filler used and its location.

In terms of procedure, numbing cream can be applied if needed but isn’t a necessity as we saw when we were there. Dr. Reuter then pencils in lines to show the piriform fossa, the triangular region at the top of the nasal folds starting right at the nasal base where the filler will be initially injected to bring the lines forward.

The first injection then adds the filler to base of the nose and we were surprised with how quickly we saw the filler smooth over the nasal folds even before the procedure was complete. “At Thérapie we use Juvederm (one of the most well-known brands) which is licenced, and FDA approved,” explains Dr. Reuter.
She then went in with a different needle (or cannula) which is used to add the filler in a linear threading technique and finishes off the procedure. Dr. Reuter told us that she normally starts with 1ml of filler and adds more if necessary to create the most natural look.

You just need the one session, and you can see results immediately afterwards. It is possible to have swelling for up to one week post procedure along with potential bruising and redness as around the mouth is a particularly sensitive area with more blood vessels, she explained to us.
Even though results are instant, within a couple weeks is when you really see them becoming completely apparent after the filler settles and any bruising or swelling subsides.

What are the risks I should be aware off?
Of course, there are risks present with any cosmetic procedure and we want to make sure our readers are aware of any that may occur. As mentioned previously, minor risks typically include bruising, swelling and tenderness, alongside pain, mild itchiness, or a rash around the treated area, but these are common and usually temporary.
More serious risks can include infection, allergic reactions to the product, accidental nerve damage via needle, lumps, asymmetry if one side is treated better than the other, and in rare cases necrosis (where the skin tissue dies if the filler blocks a blood vessel therefore cutting off blood supply). Patients should also be aware of filler migration which is rare but a possibility and can lead to an unnatural appearance. This is why choosing a qualified and experienced practitioner who understands the anatomy of the area and takes you through all the risks prior to the procedure is extremely important.

Regarding aftercare this is relatively simple and always explained to you before and after the procedure. This includes no heat on the area, no alcohol, and no exercise, all for at least 24 hours. It is also recommended to try and drink at least 2L of water regularly as it supports the healing process and helps filler last longer when the skin is hydrated.

Dermal fillers are a great option for a quick and easy treatment to fix aging concerns, and usually the first point of call. They are generally minimally invasive, cost effective and last a considerable amount of time, making this procedure a great option to address fine lines and wrinkles. Make sure to do thorough research if you are considering this procedure and talk to a dermatologist or medical practitioner for more advice.
