Is ‘Resting Face’ Sending the Wrong Impression?
We’ve all heard of the term “resting face”—that expression your face naturally takes when you’re not actively smiling or talking. For some, this neutral expression can appear tired, angry, or even sad, leading to an undesired look. If you’ve ever felt that your resting face doesn’t reflect how you actually feel, there’s a solution. At Timeless MedSpa in NYC, we offer Botox and dermal fillers to help soften and rejuvenate your resting face, giving you a more approachable and refreshed appearance.
Let’s explore how Botox and fillers can help change your resting face for the better.
What Causes an Undesirable Resting Face?
The way our faces rest is influenced by several factors, including genetics, aging, and habitual facial expressions. As we age, the natural decline of collagen and elastin in the skin can lead to the formation of wrinkles and sagging, making our resting faces appear less youthful. Additionally, repetitive muscle movements—such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows—can contribute to the formation of deep lines and creases.
For many people, these changes can lead to an unintended appearance of being upset or tired, even when they feel relaxed or happy. This is where Botox and fillers come in, providing an effective way to restore a more natural and pleasant look.
How Botox Can Relax Overactive Muscles
Botox is a popular treatment for softening the appearance of lines caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as those associated with frowning or furrowing the brow. These lines, often called dynamic wrinkles, can give your resting face a more serious or stern appearance.
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for these expressions. When injected strategically by our skilled team at Timeless MedSpa, Botox smooths out deep wrinkles in areas like:
- The forehead
- Between the eyebrows (frown lines)
- Around the eyes (crow’s feet)
By softening these dynamic lines, Botox can give you a more relaxed, refreshed look, without altering your natural facial movements. The result? A more approachable and youthful resting face.
How Dermal Fillers Restore Volume and Smooth Lines
While Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers target volume loss and static wrinkles—lines that remain even when your face is at rest. As we age, the fat pads in our face begin to shrink, leading to sagging, hollowing, and the appearance of deep lines, such as:
- Marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin)
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines that extend from the nose to the mouth)
- Sunken cheeks or under-eye hollows
Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm or Restylane, are composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps retain moisture and volume. When injected into areas of volume loss, fillers restore fullness and lift, giving your face a more youthful, rejuvenated look. This helps prevent your resting face from appearing tired or aged.
Combining Botox and Fillers for a Comprehensive Result
For the most transformative results, many patients at Timeless MedSpa choose to combine Botox and fillers. By addressing both dynamic and static wrinkles, as well as volume loss, this combination treatment can dramatically enhance the appearance of your resting face.
Our expert injectors at Timeless MedSpa in NYC will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Whether you want to smooth out frown lines, fill in hollow areas, or create a more youthful contour, Botox and fillers can help you achieve a refreshed, natural look.
The Benefits of Botox and Fillers for Resting Face
- Non-surgical: Both Botox and fillers are minimally invasive treatments that require no surgery or downtime, making them a convenient option for busy New Yorkers.
- Natural-looking results: Our goal at Timeless MedSpa is to enhance your natural beauty, not change the way you look. Botox and fillers offer subtle, yet noticeable improvements, allowing you to maintain your facial expressions while softening unwanted lines and volume loss.
- Quick treatment time: Botox and filler treatments can be performed in under an hour, making it easy to fit into your schedule.
- Long-lasting results: Depending on the area treated and the product used, the results of Botox can last 3 to 4 months, while fillers can last 6 months to a year or longer.
