Look refreshed and rested
You don't want to look younger. You want to look well. There is a difference and it is the difference we are trained to deliver.
Lines and wrinkles tell a story as we age. The question is what story you want to tell. At House of Ikigai, we work with your face over time softening what's unhelpful, restoring what's been lost, and always leaving you looking like yourself.
Why lines and wrinkles appear
The cause of a line, wrinkle, or crease is not only because of muscle movement. You have five layers to your face: the skin, the upper fat layer, the muscle, the deep fat, and the bone.
As your face changes over time, the skin quality changes less hydration, less collagen, less substance. The volume of fat in the layers shifts: some areas gain, some areas lose like a deflating beach ball. The bone structure changes, losing both density and volume. This is why it is important to consider you completely, assess all these layers, and address them to give you the best natural outcomes.
Deep creases and lines that are present when muscles are not moving means that relaxing muscles alone is unlikely to make a significant difference without addressing the cause and other contributing factors, including skin quality and volume loss. We always consider the whole picture.
What you might be noticing
Looking tired or older than you feel, particularly around the eyes or forehead
Expression lines that deepen when your face is at rest
Loss of brightness or radiance in the skin
Skin that feels less hydrated, firm, or supported than it used to
A face that reads 'sad' or 'stern' even when you are not
Our approach
We always begin with your why your aspirations, cautions, goals. Taking into account your profession, lifestyle, personality, shape, and everything that makes you, you. This is how we create a bespoke experience that meets you where you are and helps you get to where you want to be.
Our intention is not to freeze or remove expression, but to address disharmony in muscle patterns and restore what has been lost so your face reflects how you genuinely feel.
