“Instagram face” is a bona fide trend and the subject of hashtags on virtually every social media platform. If this is the first time you’ve heard of Instagram face, the phrase describes a certain look created by nonsurgical cosmetic treatments such as filler and BOTOX Cosmetic® injections.
At our London, Ontario practice, patients often ask how to produce the sought-after appearance with nonsurgical treatments. In this blog post, we’ll provide some guidance for people interested in getting the “Instagram face” look by focusing on each area of the face.
What Is ‘Instagram Face’?
This is a question you probably know the answer to if you’ve ever scrolled through the Instagram accounts of certain celebrity influencers. These are the Bella Hadids and Kardashians of social media whose selfies tend to nourish trends followed by millions of people around the world. The hallmark of the Instagram face is a wide-eyed, smooth-skinned, and pouty-lipped appearance.
Area-by-Area Treatments
Injectable procedures vary depending on the area being treated. Here’s a breakdown of how to achieve the look you want:
- Forehead: “Preventive” BOTOX treatments for patients in their 20s can delay the development of fine lines and wrinkles that form as you change facial expressions. These procedures, sometimes called “baby BOTOX,” involve injecting smaller doses than are used for patients who want to reduce existing wrinkles.
- Eye Area: Injectables, including BOTOX and fillers such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, can give the brow a lifted appearance, minimize crow’s feet, and treat dark circles below the eye. It’s not really Instagram face without the wide eyes and elevated brow.
- Cheeks: Another must-have feature of the Instagram face look are prominent, sculpted cheekbones. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA®, which is used to restore volume to the cheeks, can create the high cheekbones that are associated with beauty—Instagram or no Instagram.
- Nose: If you’re not one of the few people born with a straight, ever-so-slightly upturned nose, not to worry. You don’t need a nose job (at least not for a temporary fix). Nonsurgical rhinoplasty techniques using injectable treatments can create a contoured nose without recovery time.
- Mouth: Restylane Silk and JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® are fillers designed specifically for lip augmentation. Used conservatively, these fillers can create a desirable, sensuous mouth without an overly plump, injected appearance.
- Chin and jaw: A sculpted jawline and defined chin provide the final touches of Instagram face. In 2019, JUVÉDERM introduced VOLUX, the first filler explicitly designed to treat the lower face. It can change the shape of the chin and jawline for up to 18 months. Nonsurgical fat reduction treatments such as BELKYRA® can also reduce the appearance of a double chin.
When combined with quality skincare products, these procedures can produce the Instagrammable face that you want. It’s important to make sure you choose a provider with unsurpassed expertise in nonsurgical facial contouring.
