Facial muscles also get weaker over time, and this loss of muscle tone and thinning skin can give the face a loose, sagging appearance.\u00a0 Our jawline loses its contour and our profile becomes less defined.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bones and aging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facial bones provide the foundation for muscle, fat-pads and\nskin.&nbsp; With age, we experience facial\nbone loss.&nbsp; This loss changes the\ndimensions and contour of our face, causing areas around our eyes to get\nlarger, decrease in the angle of our brow bone and a less sculptured jawline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Depressed yet????<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be!!&nbsp; We are\nhere to help you!&nbsp; There are so many\ndifferent treatments that can be tailored to your individual needs and your\npersonal aging process.&nbsp; These treatments\nrange from fillers, to lasers so you need to have an experienced aesthetic\nprovider that can assess your face and see what treatment you would benefit\nfrom the most.&nbsp; Call Northwest Aesthetics\ntoday at 425-908-0000 to schedule your consult with one of our aesthetic\nproviders <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most popular options here at\nNorthwest Aesthetics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/laser-treatments\/\">LASERS<\/a><\/strong>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/fractora-fractional-laser-resurfacing-treatment\/\">Fractional Laser Resurfacing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/ipl-photofacial\/\">IPL PhotoFacial <\/a>treatments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/cosmetic-fillers\/\">FILLERS<\/a><\/strong>&#8211; We have a variety of Juvederm family of fillers that we use base on our assessment of your face and individual needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DAILY SKIN CARE REGIMEN<\/strong>&#8211; Just lasers and fillers aren\u2019t enough to keep your skin looking younger and healthy.&nbsp; A medical grade daily skin care regimen is important as well.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/skinmedica-tns-essential-serum-8-219x300-1.png\" alt=\"skinmedica essential serum special\" class=\"wp-image-7043\" width=\"144\" height=\"197\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The SkinMedica TNS essential serum is one of our most sought-after everyday products, but there are many other products to choose from.&nbsp; You can set up an appointment with one of our Master Aestheticians so they can recommend the right products for you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding the aging process and how different aesthetic treatments can help maintain your youthful appearance The aging process does not only impact facial wrinkles and lines that form on the skin\u2019s surface.&nbsp; Aging affects multiple layers, including the bone, muscles, fat-pads, and the skin.&nbsp; The goal of facial aesthetic treatments is to help temporarily restore [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7048"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7048\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
