Understanding the Aging Process
Aging is a multi-layered process involving changes to skin, fat, muscle, and bone. Key changes include:
- Eyebrows: With time the soft fatty tissue beneath the eyebrows shrinks and because of gravity it droops.
- Upper eyelids: The skin around the upper and lower eyelids stretches as we age. This happens from washing, rubbing, putting on and removing makeup, which not only stretches the skin but also leads to mild to severe droop of the upper eyelids.
- Lower eyelids: The skin on the lower eyelids also stretches with time. The tensile strength of the eyelid decreases which results in a mild to moderate eyelid droops. Orbital fat protrudes which leads to “puffy bags” on the lower eyelids. The volume around the eye also decreases leading to “hollowness” around the lower eyelids.
- Midface: Loses volume and descends.
- Nasolabials: The nasolabial line is the line from the corner of your nose to the corner of the mouth. As we age it becomes prominent because the midface droops and we lose volume from this highly
active area. - Lips: Get thinner and lose volume.
- Jawlines: Jawlines form from stretching of the soft tissue, sleeping on the sides and the effect of gravity.
At Dr. Parsa’s Beverly Hills office, we use advanced diagnostic imaging and in-depth facial analysis to identify where—and why—these changes are happening. This allows us to provide targeted, strategic treatment that honors your natural anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Why Facial Aging Happens – And Why It Matters More in Southern California
Los Angeles and Beverly Hills are known for their sunny climate and fast-paced lifestyle—but these same features can accelerate the signs of aging. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, up to 90% of visible aging is linked to UV exposure. And LA’s high rates of environmental pollution and daily sun exposure contribute to faster degradation of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.
In fact, Los Angeles County ranks among the top regions nationally for non-surgical cosmetic treatments. This reflects a growing awareness of preventative aging and a demand for high-level expertise in subtle, nuanced facial care. Our Beverly Hills office serves this need with tailored treatment plans for clients from across the Westside—including West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Century City, Brentwood, and Culver City.
