How Accutite Can Enhance Your Appearance Above the Mask

But how does this relate to the beauty treatments that we offer? It only makes sense to treat the areas of your face that are the most visible.

4 Things You Didn’t Know About That Could Bring Menopause Early

It could be that you are experiencing premature menopause. Menopause can come on earlier than 40 for many reasons. Here are a few things that might surprise you.

Premature ovarian failure

This medical cause of early menopause involves failure of the ovaries to function. Premature ovarian failure and premature menopause can be related and often come hand in hand, but they are actually two separate issues. Menopause is when your menstrual cycles cease completely.

  • Significant weight loss or yo-yoing weight gains
  • Illness that steals volume from the face and jowls
  • Normal aging that can relax the skin and reduce volume in the face, chin, and jowls
  • Genetic disposition, which has a lot to do with how much other factors contribute to a poorly defined jawline
