Most people seeking our advice express concerns over individual lines, folds or blemishes. These are based on what the individual perceives when they look in a mirror, often with lighting and magnification.

When we look at a face we respond to curves and outlines, volume, light and shadow. Loss of volume, with loss of the arcs and contours of the face and hollows make us appear old and tired.
