As Above, So Below Aesthetics

Let’s talk about the mid face!

Most people don’t walk in talking about it. They mention looking tired, or that their face feels heavier, they feel they’re aging all of a sudden or that photos from the side just don’t sit right anymore.

What they’re usually noticing is that the support under the cheekbones has started to be lost. Gravity, time all natural part of aging but something that can absolutely be restored.

I never rush this area. The tissue here is denser and the way it sits affects everything from the under eyes down to the jawline. If you do too much too quickly you end up with that puffy, over filled look that photographs badly and feels even worse in real life.

So I prefer to work in stages
rebuild a bit of structure, let the skin and soft tissue settle around it for a couple of weeks, then come back and refine.

The final result sits more naturally and lasts longer this way.
It’s one of those treatments that if done properly with patience, makes such a huge difference while also being subtle… That to me, is the goal.

Sometimes less is definitely more!

Natural lip filler is about facial balance, adding structure, and working with the lips you already have.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is trying to chase volume before creating support. People adding ml after ml without understanding what their goal actually is or how to achieve it.

Every lip is different. Some need definition, some need hydration, and some need supportive structure before volume.

Nose filler is truly one of my favourite treatments!

At the first appointment I start reshaping the bridge or softening a bump, I then see clients again for the final stage.
Why?
Because the skin needs time to stretch and settle around the new structure. Rushing the full amount in one go increases the chance of swelling, unevenness, or that tight, overdone look that no one actually wants.

At the second session, usually a couple of weeks later, we assess how the tissue has adapted and perfect the look.

the final result will last longer because the skin has been allowed to adjust preventing the filler being squashed or forced to move under the pressure.

Feel free to dm any questions!

Most people don’t come in saying “I want filler under my eyes.”
They come in saying they look tired. Or older than they feel.

It’s not just about filling a hollow, It’s about carefully supporting that thin, shadowed area so the light sits differently.

It makes the eyes look more open and less sunken.

Clients in their thirties, forties and fifties often tell me the same thing after this treatment, people they know struggle to put their finger on whats different, they just look less tired and more like themselves on a good day.

If you have skin laxity, texture or other signs of aging then this is for you!

Polynucleotides work at the cellular level using purified salmon DNA fragments that your fibroblasts actually recognise and use. More collagen production, better elasticity, deeper hydration that doesn’t sit on the surface like a product. The change is gradual. People start saying “you look well” rather than “what have you had done?”

I’ve been having quite a few conversations in the clinic this week about skin that just feels… off. Not broken out, not massively noticeable, just that annoying dullness and tightness that makes you look more tired than you actually are. The uk weather doesn’t do us any favours!

The airs humid and when the weather can’t decide whether it’s summer or autumn by 3 in the afternoon, your skin feels every bit of it.

The protective skin barrier takes a hit. Hydration doesn’t hang around the way it used to, and suddenly the routine you’ve had for years stops doing the job.

We’ve been talking about skin boosters as one way to give things a boost from the inside. It’s not about changing your face or chasing some filtered version of yourself. It’s more like giving your skin the raw materials it’s been short on so it can actually do its job properly day to day.

Clients keep coming back saying it’s the difference between “I look tired” and “I look like I’ve actually slept for once.”
One woman in her early forties told me last week she’d stopped getting the “you look stressed” comments from colleagues.

A broken nose that healed wrong is more than a change in your profile. It can also chip away at how you feel about your own face.

This lovely client came in telling me about the years of insecurity. 😢
One session of strategically placed filler later and the structure is balancing again.
straighter, natural, better harmony without looking fake.

There is some swelling but the difference is already amazing.

This isn’t always about chasing an ideal. It’s about fixing the damage/the insecurity/the thing that you notice first…and hate.

We do the purely aesthetic work, but we also love taking on the quieter issues that hit self worth harder than most people would understand.

Ever wondered how much filler actually goes into one of those syringes? 👀
This visual shows it properly
from a subtle 0.5ml refresh right up to 4ml.
A standard syringe is 1ml, but real treatments often use more (or less) depending on the area and what you’re trying to achieve. Lips might be 0.5–1ml for definition and volume. Cheeks or jawline can take 2–4ml+ across sessions for structure. It’s never one size fits all and more product doesn’t automatically mean better results
it’s about what suits YOUR face and goals.
At As Above So Below Aesthetics in Manchester we talk it through properly.
No pushing, no hidden extras, just honest advice on what amount will actually give you the look you want without overdoing it.
