Discover the secret to a slimmer, more defined face and a radiant glow with our expert V Shape Face treatments
How to Get a V-Shaped Face Naturally?
While beauty standards are constantly evolving, whether a face is considered attractive is something that can be backed by science. The shape and symmetry of a face are key elements of attractiveness, and when it comes to Asian beauty standards, the V-shaped face is perhaps considered the most desirable of all.
Defined by its slim cheeks, structured jawline and sharp chin, the V-shaped face is a common face shape amongst many celebrities and Korean idols. This face shape allows you to pull off most hairstyles and looks, inspiring many to desire the same facial shape for themselves.
While not everyone is naturally blessed with a V-shaped face, the good news is that modern technologies have made it possible to achieve this desirable face shape non-surgically.
What Makes a V-shaped Face So Desirable?
Characterised by slim cheekbones and a narrowing jawline that tapers into a V-shaped chin, this facial shape symbolises youth, femininity and elegance in Asian culture.
The V-shaped face is highly desirable also because of its visible balance and symmetry, which are key facial traits that are deemed beautiful.
Factors Hindering a Natural V-shaped Face
Not everyone is naturally born with a V-shaped face. While genetic bone structure plays a significant role, there are other factors that also determines your facial shape:
- Enlarged Masseter Muscles: Often caused by genetics, excessive chewing or teeth grinding, enlarged jaw muscles can create a more square-like jaw, detracting from the feminine V-shape.
- Recessed Chin: A lack of chin projection can make achieving a V-shaped face challenging, as it affects the balance and proportion of the jawline.
- Sagging Skin: As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity and firmness due to a decline in collagen production. Factors like excessive sun exposure, smoking, and rapid weight fluctuations can accelerate skin sagging around the cheekbones and jawline.
- Excess Facial Fat: Genetics, weight gain, and diet can contribute to fat accumulation around the face and jawline, masking a V-shaped face even if it naturally exists.
- Diet: Salt enhances the water retention capacity of the body, which causes bloated face and double chin. Think about it – when you have junk food or any food loaded with lots of salt, you feel thirsty and the face gets a swollen appearance the next day.
Achieving a V-shaped Face Without Surgery
Fortunately, achieving a V-shaped face without surgery is now possible through various non-surgical treatments:
- HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to target deep skin layers, resulting in fat burning and collagen production. HIFU is especially beneficial for those with excess facial fat and sagging skin as it helps to tighten and lift the skin for a more defined jawline.
- Jaw Botox: Botox injections relax and reduce the size of the masseter muscles, ideal for those with prominent jaws. By weakening thes muscles, they shrink in size and allow the jawline to appear slimmer and more feminine.
- Chin Fillers: Chin fillers involve injecting dermal fillers into the chin to add volume and enhance its shape, particularly for those with a recessed chin. This procedure helps to create a balanced and symmetrical V-shaped chin. The required volume will be customised by your doctor for optimal results.
- Skin Boosters: Specific polynucleotide skin boosters such as the Nucleofill can be injected into sunken area to trigger collagen remodelling and improve its appearance.
What to Expect During the V-Line Face Slimming Treatment
1. Skin cleansing
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any impurities. This is especially important as the treatment involves injections.
2. Numbing cream application
To minimize discomfort, a topical numbing cream will be applied. This is usually left on for about 30 minutes.
3. Skin booster treatment
Once your skin is thoroughly cleansed and numbed, your doctor will use a fine needle to administer the polynucleotide skin booster gently and carefully into your skin.
4. Post-treatment immediate aftercare
A soothing gel and yellow LED light will be left on for 10 minutes after the skin booster treatment to calm the skin and reduce redness.
What is the Downtime?
As with most treatments that consist of injections, there will be downtime of about 1-2 days. This includes:
- Redness: Mild redness around injections sites, which should subside in a day.
- Mild swelling: Temporary swelling right after the treatment that will gradually decrease over the day.
- Tenderness: There may be slight tenderness around injection sites, which typically also resolves in 1-2 days.
- Mild bruising: Bruising can occur with any treatment that involves injection. This is usually mild and will fade after a few days.
Post V-Line Face Slimming Treatment: The Do’s and Don’ts
Proper aftercare ensures optimal healing:
Do:
- Maintain skin hygiene with a mild cleanser.
- Apply sunscreen: Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen with SPF 50 PA+++.
- Stay hydrated by drinking at least 1.5L of water daily.
Don’t:
- Drink alcohol for at least 24 hours after the treatment. This will interfere with your skin’s healing process and may exacerbate bruising.
- Use harsh exfoliant products like AHA/BHA or retinol for a week until your skin has healed. Your skin will be more sensitive after the treatment.
- Exercise for at least 24 hours post-treatment. You may, however, continue your usual daily activities.
