Face First: Bespoke Routes to a Brighter Visage

Over time, our faces can start to flag. Breakouts can manifest, eyelids can start to droop, makeup doesn’t sit so well on the skin (and becomes increasingly arduous to apply). So what are the bespoke routes to facial rejuvenation that can refresh our appearance, while preserving our individual beauty?

We were joined by some of the most renowned experts in facial aesthetics – including dermatologist and laser guru, Professor Firas Al Niaimi; ophthalmic surgeon and FaceRestoration founder, Professor Jonathan Roos; and The Lanesborough resident and founder of ‘The Couture Brow’, Suzanne Martin – who revealed the subtle solutions to looking fresher for longer: from cutting-edge treatments and surgical techniques to the transformative power of makeup.

Together, we learnt to embrace what makes each of us unique, while discovering new routes to optimising our skin, features and visages. The goal? To restore lost confidence and take back control of our faces – but also to face the future looking, and feeling, brighter.
