Seven Ways to Look Younger without Surgery
Want to look your best without going under the kinfe? A variety of non-surgical procedures are available that can help you look refreshed and years younger. Here's a list of tips from The Non-Surgical Facelift Book--A Guide to Facial Rejuvenation Procedures
1. Renew your skin with facial microdermabrasion.
Microdermabrasion is a gentle, painless procedure that gives you brighter, younger- looking skin. The procedure, which uses air-powered crystals, removes the outer layer of dead, flaking skin and stimulates the production of fresh skin and underlying collagen. Microdermabrasion diminishes sun damage, fine lines, mild scaring, and improves overall skin texture. It is safe for all skin types and there is no recovery time.
2. Diminish facial lines with a soft tissue filler.
Soft tissue fillers, such as collagen, fill in facial groves or creases, smoothing them and blending them into the rest of your skin. Fillers are used for creases in the cheeks, forehead lines, crow's feet, smile lines, frown lines, and wrinkles around the lips. A variety of both temporary and permanent filler material are available.
3. Refresh your facial skin with a light chemical peel.
Chemical peels remove fine lines wrinkles, age spots, and freckling. They also improve sun damaged skin and give you're a smoother skin texture. The doctor applies a mild acid solution, which lifts away the top layer of damaged skin.
4. Erase frown lines with Botox injections.
Botox injections eliminate the frown line between your eyebrows by relaxing underlying muscles. The treatment takes only minutes and can be done over your lunch hour.
5. Remove age spots, spider veins, and diminish fine lines with non-ablative laser treatments.
The non-ablative lasers destroy imperfections caused by tissues under the skin, leaving the surface layers untouched.
6. Remove dark facial hair permanently with laser hair removal.
No more shaving, plucking, or applying creams. Lasers destroy the hair follicle without damaging your skin.
7. Plump lips with lip augmentation.
If your lips are losing their natural contour, fillers will add volume, giving you fuller, younger-looking lips. One or both lips can be augmented. Start with a temporary filler. If you like the look, consider a permanent filler
