8 ways to maintain a youthful appearance
It’s no secret that aging is inevitable. But, if we have to age, why not do everything we can to put it off as long as possible? More than just genetics and sun exposure may be aging you, and Skin Vitality is here to help provide you with solutions to your skin concerns which will have people thinking you’re younger than you are!
There’s no such thing as a substitute for taking good care of your skin, and how you treat it is reflected in the appearance. Here are 8 ways to maintain that glowing, youthful appearance:
- Stay out of the sun: Damage from the sun’s UV rays (UVA and UVB) are responsible for about 90% of your skin’s visible signs of aging. UV rays break down elastin in the skin, which causes a saggy, dull appearance, wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tone, and more.
- Drink water: Aim for 8 glasses of filtered water each day to maintain radiance and support optimal health. Dehydration can cause your skin to look dry and dull, emphasizing wrinkles and aging.
- Get some sleep: When you sleep, your body continuously releases hormones that promote cell formation and renewal. Consider upgrading to a satin pillowcase – tossing and turning on a rougher fabric, such as cotton, can contribute to the breakdown of collagen in your skin, leading to the formation of wrinkles.
- Moisturize: While water works to hydrate your skin from the inside out, you can also help it by making sure you’re using the right moisturizer consistently. Not only does hydrated skin look better, but it’s also stronger and better equipped to fight off any irritants.
- Eat a diet rich in plants and greens: The benefits of a diet heavy in fruits and veggies are unbeatable. The key nutrients that are provided help support healthy aging and keep your body young, both internally and externally.
- Stay active! Exercise is helpful in maintaining a healthy weight and has also been proven to help you look younger. Vigorous exercise, such as high intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to slow your aging at a cellular level by nearly 10 years. It increases blood flow, moving oxygen and critical nutrients.
- Stay consistent: While there are steps and methods that can be taken to help reverse damage to the skin, why not help prevent the damage before it even begins! Making a strong skin care routine a part of your daily routine is extremely beneficial in maintaining a radiant appearance and keeping your skin strong and healthy.
- Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption: While we love a cappuccino or glass of wine as much as the next person, too much of either can cause severe damage to your skin. Both will dehydrate your body and rob it of nutrients, which can result in permanent damage.

dark circles under eyes
If people constantly ask if you’re exhausted—even when you’re not—it could be due to dark circles, under-eye hollowness, or sagging skin. These common concerns are often caused by aging, genetics, collagen loss, and volume depletion—not just lack of sleep.
As we age, the tear trough area can become hollow, casting shadows that make the eyes look sunken and tired. While skincare may offer small improvements, under-eye filler is a safe, non-surgical solution that delivers real, immediate results.
Dermal filler gently restores volume under the eyes, reduces the appearance of dark circles, and smooths the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. The result? A refreshed, natural look with no surgery, no downtime, and instant confidence.
Under Eye Filler Before and After
Benefits of under eye fillers
Under eye filler works to counteract the loss of volume in the cheek or mid face. These results can last up to a year, but you are able to receive periodic treatments to touch-up and maintain your results as long as you want.
- Make eyes look brighter, refreshed and more awake by adding volume to hollow areas under the eyes
- Tighten up any sagging skin and smoothing creases under the eyes through the addition of volume
- Lighten dark circles under the eyes by stimulating the production of collagen and blood flow in the area
Cheek Fillers
With age, we naturally stop producing collagen and lose volume in our cheeks, which can result in a hollowed look. By adding volume to the cheekbones, it creates a lifting and slimming effect to the face.
Your cheekbones are part of the structure of your face – specifically the malar bones – that sit beneath our eyes. If your malar bones happen to sit closer to the eye as opposed to the middle of the face, closer to the bottom of your nose, you most likely have the appearance of high cheekbones. Whether your cheekbones sit high or low doesn’t say much about you – our western culture happens just to value high cheekbones more than low at this particular moment in time. While we as individuals are notable to control the conventional standards of beauty, with dermal fillers, we can easily manipulate and enhance what we were born with to feel our best.
Benefits of Cheek Fillers
- Adding filler in the cheeks can completely alter the geometry of your face, highlighting bone structure and giving you those “killer cheekbones”
- Cheek filler can help balance out the other features on your face, which allows for dramatic results
- While the results and intents vary, cheek filler is for everyone, whether you are in your 20’s or your 60’s
- Cheek fillers uses hyaluronic acid, a substance already naturally occurring in our bodies, so there is virtually no chance for an allergic reaction
- Results are immediate
- There is little to no downtime, minimal swelling and bruising
- Long-lasting results of up to 2 years

Jawline Filler
Jawline Contouring and Chin Filler is a treatment performed with precise dermal filler injections. This is used to create a more defined, chiseled, and sculpted jawline within a matter of minutes. Whether you would like a more distinct jawline for a wider, stronger appearance or a clearly defined angle to make your face appear slimmer and more refined, your treatment will be personalized according to your desired aesthetic results.
Jaw fillers can add definition, symmetry, balance, or contour to this area, especially your profile. With Juvederm Volux we now have the ability to achieve these incredible results in the lower face as well.

Fillers at Skin Vitality
Over the past decade, the collective desire for increased facial definition has been firmly on the up. Seen on social media and the most followed famous faces, it all started with prominent cheek bones, then voluptuous lips, and now the defined chin and jawline. Genetically, some people have a naturally small or weak jawbone or chin, thin lips or hollowed under eyes. For other, as we age, the volume in our jaw, chin, cheeks and under eyes begins to decrease. We lose definition, structure and support over time. We lose bone in our skull and volume in our face – our facial fat drops downwards with gravity which results in a loss of definition and volume in our face.
Luckily, there is a fix that has been on the rise! Filler is used to address these issues and is an extremely popular treatment worldwide that can solve all your issues.
Juvéderm®:
Juvéderm® is used to address wrinkles, facial contours, enhance the size and shape of the lips and can even smooth out scars and indentations. Juvéderm® plumps up the skin to fill out those unwanted wrinkles, creases, and noticeable hollows. The treatment can also help modify facial contours that you want reshaped or more defined!
Teosyal Redensity II:
Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers are typically injected into static areas of the face to accentuate contours or facial features, but Teosyal® products from the Swiss laboratory TEOXANE® are designed with the idea that your face is anything but static. Teosyal® Filler can plump lips, address wrinkles, under-eye hollows and scars.
Redensity II has been developed specifically for the treatment of dark circles due to depression and/or hyperpigmentation. The undereye area has always been considered a difficult area to treat: both for its intrinsic nature and due to the difficulty in finding materials that are less hydrophilic. Teosyal Redensity II can be used safely to achieve good results in this challenging area. It is the best product TEOXANE has for refreshing the circles under the eyes without looking over-filled. A study done by Clarion Medical Technologies showed that 99% of patients who received Redensity II Filler Injections to the tear trough saw an aesthetic improvement within one-month post-treatment.
This HA Filler is a skin revitalizer that restores hydration, luminosity and tone, and is perfectly suited for the thin and sensitive skin around the eyes or tear trough area. Redensity II is also very effective in slowing down the appearance of aging as it smooths out lines and wrinkles as well as brightens and rejuvenates the skin.
