Wrinkles
If you’re starting to notice more visible wrinkles forming and wondering “why?” here’s the rundown:
A large combination of factors contributes to the formation of wrinkles. Some factors, such as genetic predispositions, cannot be controlled or changed, while other factors can be. Take a face and throw in some of the natural ageing process (bye bye collagen and elastin), a bunch of sun exposure and a sprinkle of unhelpful lifestyle factors (think smoking, sugar, alcohol). Add in the repetitive performances of our facial expressions – smiles, frowns and squints – and voila, wrinkles form where those lines deepen over time.
Various measures can be taken to reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles and slow the formation of deeper ones. At fika, we believe that every skin journey commences with a comprehensive consultation where our fully registered healthcare practitioners take the time to understand your unique needs and discuss your concerns. We pride ourselves on educating you, allowing you to make informed decisions and collaborating to create customised treatment plans that align with your goals.
Definition & Volume
It’s no secret that no two faces are born the same; our bone structure, jaw shape, chin projection, lip size and cheek volume are all assigned to us, passed down the line and determined by our varied genetic factors and ethnic influences. The visual appearance that we are appointed may not align with our own personal ideals of beauty, or who we identify as.

Facial Hollowing & Sagging
Facial volume loss is a typical part of the ageing process, whereby subcutaneous fat, collagen & elastin (within the skin) and even bone formation begin to reduce. As time melts away, so do many of the important structures of our facial anatomy, which can result in a “hollow” or “sagging” appearance. Such changes can be noticed in the form of; a hollowing eye area, formation of jowls, flattening cheeks, downturned mouth, reduced jawline definition, hollowing temples or a changing face shape.

Teeth Clenching & Grinding
Have you ever woken up in the morning with an aching jaw? Have you noticed yourself clenching or grinding your teeth? Do you feel like your lower face has become more square or pronounced than normal? These could be signs that your masseter muscles (the muscles responsible for chewing) are working overtime, and similarly to every other muscle in your body, the more exercise it does, the stronger and bigger it will become. Overactive masseter muscles can lead to a variety of concerns including; pain, headaches, asymmetry, poor range of motion and even damage to your teeth.

Excess Gum Exposure
When it takes more than 10 muscles to smile, it’s no surprise that sometimes these muscles can work a little bit harder than we’d like them to. The upper lip muscles can be known to either elevate too far above the upper teeth, creating a gummy smile appearance, or they can curl too far inwards, creating a disappearing smile appearance.
