A new year is here, and that means you're closer to being another
year older. I have compiled a list of ways to look younger from head to
toe this year using non-invasive cosmetic treatments that are proven to
be effective.
1. Erase frown lines and glabellar wrinkles.
Botox is excellent for treating the lines and wrinkles that form between the eyebrows. With Botox there's no reason to look angry all the time!
2. Get rid of forehead wrinkles.
Botox is also my favorite way to quickly and easily reduce the horizontal lines that form across the forehead. It only takes 10-20 units of Botox to have a nice smooth forehead for the next 3-4 months.
3. Reduce Crow's Feet wrinkles around the eyes.
In 2013, Botox was FDA approved to treat the crow's feet wrinkles that form around the eyes from excessive squinting. ELASTIderm eye cream by Obagi is also a great non-invasive way to help increase collagen and soften eye wrinkles. It complements Botox treatment nicely. Ultherapy is the best way to decrease crow's feet wrinkles around the eyes. It works by using ultrasound energy to tighten the skin. It provides the longest lasting results of the wrinkle removing options mentioned in this article.
4. Lift those brows.
You no longer need surgery to get a natural looking eyebrow lift. Botox and Ultherapy (used together or by themselves) can give you a natura brow lift and open up your eyes by lifting droopy eyelids. No more looking sleepy all the time!
5. No more sunken temples.
Hollow temples are often a neglected sign of aging. Juvederm Ultra Plus will immediately restore lost volume to the temples. Now with the FDA approval of Juvederm Voluma, there is an even better option that can give you results for up to 2 years.
6. Grow thicker, longer eyelashes.
Long eyelashes have always been a sign of youth and beauty. Women have seen excellent results with Latisse which has been FDA-approved and clinically proven to increase eyelash growth. Latisse has been shown to double eyelash fullness- including length, thickness, and darkness in as little as 8-16 weeks.
7. Fillers for under eye hollows.
Dark circles, hollows or bags underneath the eyes? There's a treatment for that! Fillers do an excellent job in treating the hollow area underneath the eyes (tear trough deformities). At the same time, by altering the way light reflects in this area, they can decrease the dark circles under the eyes that give you that tired look all the time. There is a lot of skill in injecting this area and choosing the type of filler for treatment. In my experience, I have found that the dermal fillers that work the best in this area are Belotero and Juvederm Ultra XC. Their lightweight nature makes it very easy to mold underneath the eyes to give a smooth appearance. For the remaining dark circles, the VI Peel and Obagi Clear skin care systems are excellent treatments.
8. Get rid of vertical lip lines.
Smoker's lines (that's what they're often called even if you don't smoke) can be treated with small doses of Botox in combination with dermal fillers. Fine line treatment with Ultherapy is an excellent new alternative for treating this area. Great results have been shown using this as a primary treatment and then complimenting it with Botox, Belotero, or Juvederm if needed.
9. Plump up your lips.
Just as your facial tissues lose volume as you age, your lips also lose volume and thin out. The goal of a successful lip enhancement should be to give you the most natural results without people knowing you had anything done. Once again, Juvederm Ultra XC and Belotero give the best results for restoring volume to the lips. Juvederm in particular can last for as long as a year-and-a-half in the lips. Using a microcannula technique which results in minimal discomfort and little to no bruising.
10. Tighten saggy neck skin.
A saggy neck can be one of the most uncomfortable and difficult things to treat without surgery. There are several treatments that claim to get rid of loose neck skin, but none have proven to be really effective. Ultherapy is the best option for tightening the loose skin of the lower face and neck. In fact, in 2013 Ultherapy received FDA approval as a non-surgical neck lift treatment. No reason to hide your neck anymore!
11. Rejuvenate your hands.
You've worked hard keeping your face youthful and refreshed, so the last thing you want is for your hands to give your age away! Just like our faces, our hands will show the signs of aging. In some cases our hands may even make us look older than we are. There used to be no easy way to combat the signs of aging in the hands. Today, however, Dermal Fillers have become an excellent option for restoring the volume and smoothness that our youthful hands once had. The best fillers for hand rejuvenation are Juvederm Ultra Plus XC and Radiesse. The hand rejuvenation procedure is painless and without downtime.
12. Get rid of fat bulges.
CoolSculpting has really blown up this year in terms of popularity. This non-surgical fat freezing procedure lets you easily get rid of those stubborn bulges of fat that you can't seem to lose with diet and exercise alone. The treatment takes 1 hour and there's no downtime. You can squeeze it in during your lunch break or before your workout. Results are noticeable and long-lasting.
