Athletes Are Turning to Aesthetic Treatments to Combat Runner’s Face

By Poppy Broughton

As a result of the 2024 Paris Olympics, a new phenomenon called “runner’s face” has gained attention in the press and on social media. As a consequence of running, athletes are experiencing gaunt looking faces and turning to advanced skincare regimes to rejuvenate their skin. Fox Pharma is here to provide you with all the information you need on runners face and how aesthetic treatments can be used to combat it.

What is runner’s face?

Running is a fantastic way to improve cardiovascular health, manage weight, battle mental health problems and boost your mood. However, a possible side-effect to running is runner’s face which involves the loss of facial fat and the development of sagging skin on the lower face, jawline and neck. As the skin loses laxity, the face appears bony and wrinkles become more visible.

What causes runner’s face?

Runner’s face can develop for a number of reasons, including:

1. Low facial fat: Extensive cardiovascular exercise such as long-distance running can lead to a reduction in overall body fat, including facial fat.

2. Repetitive impact: Running involves repetitive motion and impact which can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres in the skin.

3. Exposure: When running outside, runners can often be exposed to sun, wind, and pollution, which can contribute to skin damage.

4. Dehydration: When running your body cools down and regulates it temperature by producing sweat. As a result, runners skin can become dehydrated leading to the loss elasticity.

5. Ageing: The natural ageing process can also contribute to runners face. The ageing process includes collagen and elastin depletion, loss of bone density, volume loss and the effects of gravity.

Nonetheless, runner’s face can be improved and there are aesthetic treatments available that can restore volume in the face, rehydrate the skin and regenerate the skin on a cellular level.

Below we will explore how to combat runner’s face using different aesthetic injectables to help your clients achieve maximum results.

How to fix runners face for your clients

There are many aesthetic injectables you can offer your clients to improve runner’s face, including:

-dermal fillers, which will sculpt your client’s facial features by adding volume, enhancing target areas features and improving sagging skin;

-PLLA stimulators, which will restore lost volume in your client’s face by stimulating collagen production to increase plumpness and smooth the skin;

-skin boosters, which rehydrate your client’s face by restoring hyaluronic acid (HA) in the skin; and

-polynucleotides, which stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin in your client’s skin.

How do dermal fillers work?

Dermal fillers have long been a staple in the world of cosmetic injectables thanks to their incredible ability to balance, sculpt and transform the face. Dermal fillers are praised for their versatility and ability to offer a whole range of results for your clients depending on their perceived concerns.

Dermal fillers are typically formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA) and are capable of adding volume and hydrating target areas of the skin. By enhancing and hydrating the target area, the innovative injectables can fill out fine lines and wrinkles to create a smoother and more youthful complexion.

Fillers are capable of adding volume to specific areas of the face and, as a result, they are a fantastic choice for clients looking to combat runners face. Two primary areas of concern for people with runner’s face are sagging jowls and cheeks, which can make they appear prematurely aged and gaunt. Injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers around the jowl and cheek areas creates volume and lifts sagging skin for a more youthful appearance.

How do skin boosters work?

Skin boosters are designed to transform the quality of the skin from the inside out. Skin boosters offer your clients an unparalleled moisture surge to produce a glowing and radiant complexion. They do this by harnessing the intensely hydrating powers of hyaluronic acid (HA). Once injected below the dermis, these cutting-edge injectables disperse under the skin to improve skin texture, tone, and laxity for an all-round youthful glow.

How Do PLLA Stimulators Work?

Injectable poly-L-lactic acid, commonly referred to as PLLA stimulators, are volume-restoring injectables that stimulate natural collagen and elastin production in the body. These bio-stimulatory PLLA collagen stimulators gradually and naturally volumise a target area by increasing collagen production. Injecting PLLA helps to restore volume in the under-eye area, nasolabial folds, cheeks, temples and jowls.
