Nobody wants to look older… correct? Sadly, aging is inevitable, but there are some ways of turning back the hands of time and reviving your complexion. If you’re eager to hang onto your smooth, soft skin for longer, here are some non-surgical tricks to try.
Botox
Botox is a very common facial treatment, which uses a chemical called botulinum toxin type A to reduce lines and wrinkles. This treatment works by blocking nerve signals to the facial muscles. The muscles relax, resulting in smoother, younger looking skin. Botox is used in very small quantities and the procedure is non-invasive. Before you have treatment, you will have a consultation with your practitioner to discuss the areas you want to target. It is common to have Botox in the forehead and around the eyes and mouth. Treatment takes around half an hour and you won’t need to take any time off work. You will have a series of injections using a very fine needle. Most people don’t find them uncomfortable, but you can have a mild anaesthetic to prevent any pain. The results of Botox treatment become apparent after 2-3 days. They should last up to five months, and you can repeat treatment if you wish.
Non-surgical Face Lift
A non-surgical face lift is designed to tighten the skin and smooth out wrinkles without the need for invasive treatment. During the session, you lie back and relax, while your aesthetic practitioner gently massages your skin. They wear specially designed gloves, which deliver an electric current to your skin. The aim of treatment is to revive and rejuvenate the skin by triggering changes in cellular activity. The low-strength currents that pass through the skin mimic the body’s natural electrical channels; this helps boost skin cell renewal.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers have taken the world by storm in the last few years. As well as softening lines, they can also help to sculpt and define the facial features. Fillers are injected into the skin and they help to increase volume and firmness. As you age, collagen supplies within the body become depleted and this causes your skin to lose its youthful bounce. Fillers help to replace lost collagen and they can also enhance your cheekbones and jawline. It is also possible to use fillers to add volume to the lips. Like Botox, filler treatment is temporary, and it only takes around thirty minutes. The results usually last between six and nine months. If you wish to prolong the effects, you can book repeat treatment sessions. Popular filler treatments include Juvederm and Restylane.
It may be impossible to roll back the years on paper, but there are treatments out there, which can make you look and feel younger. Are you fretting about wrinkles? Do you feel like your skin looks old or dull? If so, why not try these revolutionary non-surgical treatments? If you’ve been thinking about cosmetic surgery, it may be worth trying non-invasive alternatives. You’ll be able to see what kinds of results can be achieved without the risks of going under under the knife.
