If you are tired of looking tired, you are probably not alone, as we live in an incredibly fast-paced world. Even if you diligently get 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night, factors such as genetics, dehydration, ageing, iron-deficiency anaemia, and stress can also contribute to a generally more tired-looking appearance.
But, aside from the fast-paced world we live in, we also live in a medically and aesthetically advanced world where we can give our skin the boost it needs, without surgery, and taking months off from work.
Here’s a look at some of the most popular aesthetic treatments, favoured by both aestheticians and clients, to help you look as though you have been resting for years.
The Science Behind Looking Tired
Looking worn out can result from several factors. Sleep deprivation impairs skin repair, leading to dark circles and a dull complexion. Stress increases cortisol levels, which can damage the skin and cause puffiness. Dehydration results in dry, tired-looking skin and contributes to puffiness. Poor nutrition can cause a pale complexion and exacerbate fatigue. Ageing reduces collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles and sagging, and genetic factors influence facial structure and susceptibility to dark circles. Additionally, environmental factors like sun exposure and pollution can damage the skin and worsen the appearance of tiredness. That means it is not always about a great night’s rest.
Aesthetic Treatments To Revitalise Your Face
Tear Trough Fillers
Whatever your under-the-eye concerns are, whether it is exhausted-looking eyes or “oanda eyes”, Tear Trough fillers can address volume loss, creating a more youthful and alert appearance. The tear trough is the area between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek, where volume loss can cause a sunken look, and one of the most popular treatments for combating it is hyaluronic acid-based Tear Trough fillers. The best part? Most people see an immediate improvement in the appearance of under-eye hollows.
Botox
Botox is another effective option for those looking to reduce signs of fatigue. By targeting specific facial muscles, Botox can smooth out wrinkles and lines that contribute to a tired appearance. For instance, Botox can be injected into the forehead and around the eyes to minimise the appearance of crow’s feet and frown lines. This treatment not only makes you look younger but also helps smooth out wrinkles caused by tiredness.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are versatile and designed to improve skin texture and tone by removing dead skin cells and stimulating new cell growth. There are various types of chemical peels, ranging from superficial to deep, depending on the level of skin rejuvenation needed. A light peel can brighten dull, tired skin and improve overall radiance, while a medium or deep peel may address more significant signs of ageing and fatigue, such as pigmentation and fine lines.
Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen production and improved skin texture. For tired-looking skin, microneedling can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve elasticity, and enhance overall radiance, and it is often combined with serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to maximise results.
Vampire Facials
Speaking of PRP facials, also referred to as vampire facials, this treatment uses your own blood’s platelet-rich plasma to encourage collagen and elastin production. This helps to tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging and wrinkles. It also reduces dark circles and puffiness thanks to increased collagen production and improved blood flow, and boosts skin hydration, making it look plumper and more youthful.
Liquid Facelift
A liquid facelift allows you to enjoy a fresher, more youthful look almost immediately. It aims to achieve similar results to a traditional facelift but without the need for invasive surgery. Consisting of a combination of Botox and dermal fillers, it helps you wave goodbye not only to tired-looking eyes but also to an entire tired-looking complexion.
Lifting Facial
The term “lifting facial” simply screams rejuvenation, and our HIFU treatment achieves exactly that. Since ageing often contributes to a tired appearance, tightening and lifting the skin on your face can work wonders, making you look younger and consequently more “rested.” It not only lifts the skin, but stimulates the production of collagen too!
Lifestyle Adjustments
While aesthetic treatments can provide immediate results, it is essential to complement them with healthy lifestyle choices. Ensuring adequate hydration, maintaining a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and getting sufficient sleep are fundamental to sustaining a refreshed appearance. Incorporating regular exercise and stress management techniques can also enhance overall well-being and contribute to a more vibrant look.
To Bring Things To A Close
Looking less tired and more refreshed is achievable with the right aesthetic treatments. Whether you choose dermal fillers, Botox, or a combination of advanced skincare procedures, there are numerous options to address the visible signs of fatigue.
By selecting the treatment that best suits your needs and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can reclaim a youthful and energetic appearance, no matter how demanding life becomes.
