What do Facial Fillers Feel Like?
The decision to get facial fillers becomes easier and easier every month, as more celebrities own up to having wrinkle reduction treatments with fillers, the cost comes down and the reliability of products goes up. There is one question that almost every prospective facial filler patient has, though, which is rarely answered comprehensively in the FAQ section. That is, “What does getting a facial filler treatment feel like?”. The most that people usually tell you is that the needle is barely felt, and that if you are uncomfortable with it you can get local anesthetise. Those who’ve had the procedure done know that there is a lot more to its ‘feel’ than a simple pinprick … we explore it from start to finish, for new facial filler patients!

Juvederm versus Botox - Which Should You Choose?
Dermal fillers (eg Juvederm) and Botox are like two identical twins that everybody assumes think and feel the same - but in reality they are completely different people! One loves to gossip, put on pink makeup and party at dance clubs, the other has a small circle of close friends, plays the bass guitar and wears nothing but black. The same can be said of injectable fillers versus Botox. While they are both administered to your face with a needle, and both are used to treat skin wrinkling, that is where the similarity ends. We delve into the inner lives of both Botox and dermal fillers as anti-wrinkle treatments, to help you decide which is best.

How Facial Modifications Can Affect the Perception of Your Mood
One of the strongest forms of subconscious wisdom we have is the ability to read people’s facial expressions and body language to guess what they are thinking. If you enjoy the show ‘Lie to Me’, you’ll have a more detailed understanding of what I mean. However, nobody needs to have studied facial micro-expressions and their relationship to psychology to be able to ‘read someone’s vibes’, or guess what somebody is thinking or feeling. Due to a phenomenon known as mirroring, the ‘vibes’ we give out to people are often what we get back. This is where aging can play unexpected tricks on people - and colour their interactions with others as assumptions are made about their mood that simply aren’t true. We look at why and how these assumptions occur, and how dermal fillers (eg Juvederm) and other anti-wrinkle (eg Botox) treatments can help.
What is facial mirroring?
Facial mirroring is one of the methods that humans use to get along with each other. When somebody is speaking to us, people have often been observed to mirror their facial expressions and body language, in an attempt to show understanding of what a person is saying. Sometimes this will have unintended consequences - as we will see.
