As we age, it’s common for our resting facial expressions to change. Over time, lines and volume loss around the mouth, chin, and jawline can create an appearance that looks tired, sad, or even angry—especially when our face is at rest. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and noticed deep smile lines, marionette lines, or sagging around your mouth, you’re not alone. These changes can give the impression that you’re upset or unhappy, even when you’re feeling fine. Fortunately, facial fillers offer a simple and effective solution.
At The K Spa in Atlanta, GA, we use dermal fillers to restore youthful volume and erase lines that contribute to a grumpy or tired appearance. The result? A refreshed, natural look that reflects how you really feel.
Why Does the Resting Face Change With Age?
As we get older, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. Fat pads in the face that once gave us a youthful, lifted look begin to shrink and shift downward. The result is more noticeable lines and sagging skin. The areas most commonly affected are around the mouth and chin. These changes often create:
- Nasolabial folds (also known as smile lines) that deepen and extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Marionette lines, which run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin, often causing a frowning appearance
- Volume loss in the cheeks, contributing to a drooping effect in the lower face
All of these changes can make your resting face appear less friendly or approachable. You may feel great on the inside, but your face doesn’t always reflect it.
How Dermal Fillers Help Create a Happier Expression
Dermal fillers are an effective way to restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles. By carefully adding volume to specific areas of the face, fillers can lift sagging skin, soften deep lines, and give your face a more balanced, youthful appearance.
At The K Spa, we use hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane, which are both safe and effective for facial rejuvenation. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps the skin retain moisture and volume. When injected into targeted areas, these fillers can:
- Plump up deep nasolabial folds, reducing the look of smile lines
- Smooth marionette lines, eliminating the downturned look at the corners of the mouth
- Add volume to the cheeks and jawline, lifting the lower face and preventing sagging
- Restore balance and symmetry, which can make your face appear more open and approachable
At The K Spa, our experienced team takes a conservative, artful approach to facial fillers. The goal isn’t to make you look different—it’s to help you look like the best version of yourself. With precise placement and an eye for balance, we can give you a subtle lift that makes your resting face look more relaxed, youthful, and content. We also offer bruise-free injections for discreet dermal filler treatments.
