10 Jan What Makes Someone Look Younger?
The typical telltale signs of aging are easily remedied with a little Botox and dermal fillers. The signs of aging come on gradually and reveal themselves over time, but suddenly, they all seem to converge. Thankfully there are ways to help reverse, or at least improve them to some extent.
Repairing Skin – sun damage, redness and sun spots
- Chemical peels – The use of a chemical solution to remove the damaged layer of skin, improving color and texture.
- Intense pulsed light (IPL) facial – lifts the effects of sun damage on your face, giving you the radiant skin you used to have. It is a short procedure where intense light causes collagen and blood vessels to constrict, reducing redness and lines.
- Laser skin resurfacing – removes the top layer of skin, producing new cells. More radiant and tighter skin is a result.
Large pores or a rough skin texture
- Microdermabrasion – coarse grains buff away a dull complexion, dark spots, and uneven texture. It’s basically a light peel.
- Dermabrasion – An intense procedure that completely resurfaces the skin.
- Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy – (as seen above).
Eyes – drooping skin on corners and eyelids
- Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that corrects droopy eyelids by removing the extra skin, muscle, and fat that is weighing down the eyelids. It not only gives a youthful appearance but also allows for better vision.
- Botox helps to loosen the nerves and make skin appear smooth and wrinkle free.
Dark circles under the eyes
- Facial fillers such as Restylane restore fullness to the tear trough area, restoring volume and reducing the appearance of dark circles.
- Laser skin resurfacing
- IPL facial
- Skin Tightening and Wrinkle Reduction – Fractional laser treatment which stimulates collagen production.
Cheeks and Lack of Fullness
- A mid face lift helps mid-face sagging by removing excess skin and tightening tissue and muscles.
- Dermal fillers add volume to the cheeks and contour the overall look.
Neck wrinkles
- Neck lift destroys the dreaded “turkey neck” and tightens the skin and muscles and improves jawline
- Kybella – an injection that destroys fat tissue and tightens up the neck. It freezes fat cells, and the body eliminates them.
Thinning Lips
- Dermal fillers add volume
- Lip lift surgery
Nose widens with age and tip may droop
- Rhinoplasty reshapes and resizes the nose.
