Until the K-wave phenomena, our perception of beauty was constantly impacted by Western ideals, courtesy of various media—television, publications, and so on. For one thing, the birth and the rapid ascent of Korean dramas prepared the door for the ‘everything-Korea’ mentality. At the same time, it promised a new ideal of beauty that is closer, more achievable, and more attractive because of our Asian traits and cultural similarities. And the v shape face is among the most desired traits, thanks to the increasing popularity of K-pop singers and television personalities.
A V-line face with soft yet pronounced jaw lines and a sculpted chin is considered the pinnacle of beauty in Asia. However, because of the lengthy recovery time, high expense, and probable discomfort and hazards connected with any operation, few people are prepared to have extensive surgery to achieve a V-line appearance.
As a result, non-invasive V shape face slimming methods have lately gained popularity to help people achieve that V-line face without undergoing surgery. Let’s have a look at these novel approaches.
Dermal Fillers
When talking about non-invasive V shape face slimming procedures, many choose dermal fillers. There are several types of fillers, but the most common is hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring material in our bodies. It may also be used to fill in areas of the face to add volume or conceal wrinkles.
Fillers administer hyaluronic acid into your chin to create a softer and more contoured jawline by adding volume to your chin to make a more prominent bottom point.
BTX
The jawline slimming therapy with BTX treatment is appropriate for those with a squarish jawline or a squarish face shape, which can be caused by a condition known as bruxism (too many teeth grinding).
BTX inhibits the electric pulses that cause the facial muscles to contract. It can be administered into the muscles as a cosmetic substance to temporarily inhibit impulses from the nervous system that signal particular muscles to move.
Botulinum toxin is most commonly used to address wrinkles, but it also works well for V-shape procedures. When administered into your chewing muscle or the masseter muscle, it relaxes the muscle, causing it to decrease over time. This could soften the look of the jawline, resulting in significant alterations in the form of the face following repeated treatment. A thinner jawline leads to more pronounced cheekbones and chin, both of which are hallmarks of a V-shaped face.
This treatment is frequently used in conjunction with dermal filler for V shape face slimming.
HIFU
Another form of a non-surgical facelift is high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) face tightening, sometimes known as laser lifting (though technically, it is not laser). It uses concentrated energy and targeted at precise places under your skin to induce heat and collagen production.
It can melt fat layers beneath the skin while also leveling out skin structures and boosting skin suppleness through collagen rejuvenation since it employs focused heat energy that could reach precise depths beneath the skin. A 4.5mm tip may be used to decrease fat in the mental area or the chin, while a 3.0mm tip could be utilized to smooth out the face line in your jawline area, which has relatively little fat.
Thread Lift
Thread Lift is a less invasive substitute to surgery in which natural threads are introduced into your skin to lift it rapidly and efficiently without needing skin removal.
The threads employed in thread lift are of various varieties, but they are all constructed of polydioxanone (PDO), a dissolvable suture component extensively used in surgical procedures. This substance is quite safe and has very few adverse effects. The threads will tighten your skin and encourage the skin to manufacture more collagen after being injected into your skin tissue. The PDO threads are naturally taken by the body over time, and as they break down, they stimulate the production of tissue fibroblasts (a kind of cell that reconstructs the collagen and extracellular matrix) in the skin, leading to tightening and an improvement in the general V-line face shape.
