New terms are constantly entering the world of aesthetics, making it sometimes difficult to keep up with the times. But as trends change, methods improve, and technology advances, beauty treatments don’t have to get more complicated. So while facial balancing might be a newer term, its methodology goes back to traditional beauty standards, like the golden ratio.
Do you feel like there are aspects of your face that aren’t proportionate? If so, a facial balancing treatment might be the best option for you to feel confident in the angles of your face. Let’s discuss facial balancing and how the treatment can give you your desired result.
So What Is Facial Balancing Really?
Facial balancing is the process of adding balance to the face in all dimensions, including the frontal view and the profile. It is a non-invasive procedure that relies on the golden ratio to contour, shaping the face to be more balanced and even.
The desired result is typically achieved using a combination of dermal fillers, depending on the needs of the individual. Facial balancing can include cheek filler, chin filler, filler, pyriform aperture filler, and jawline filler to perfect and balance the frontal and profile views of the face.
Other methods that lift and sculpt the face may be necessary for facial or profile balancing, such as an 8-point lift or PDO threads. An 8-point lift is a form of non-invasive facelift performed with injectable fillers that highlights eight points on the face including:
● the apple of the cheek
● the upper cheek
● the cheekbone
● the tear troughs
● the nasio-labial folds
● the corners of the mouth
● the chin
● and the jawline
An 8-point lift helps to plump and refresh the skin while filling sunken areas. Similarly, a PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive facelift procedure involving dissolvable threads that stimulate collagen production or directly lift the skin. These two methods may be used in place of or alongside other facial fillers to promote symmetry.
A facial balancing treatment is highly customized based on the individual’s face, golden ratio, and desired result. A plan is formulated on how to best achieve these results and how much or how little filler is needed to achieve a symmetrical, balanced result.
