Pandemic or no pandemic, as women we are often drenched in responsibilities and strong emotions brewing inside our minds. As a lady, one of the most common and effective ways to blow off some steam is to get pampered by a trusted salon. So, with the surge of demand for cosmetic treatments, you might need a heads-up before you book a salon appointment. That said, strap in for a complete set of top beauty treatments you can bet on in 2021!
Botox
First up is good old Botox.
This treatment is usually used to not only keep forehead lines, crow's feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines at bay, but can also be used to tackle severe underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis) and even uncontrollable blinking (blepharospasm), chronic migraines and an overactive bladder.
After the Botox is injected through a small needle into specific muscles, Botox does its magic by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles, leading them to stop contracting. This process takes a few minutes and makes the wrinkles relax and soften.
The beauty of Botox is, you’ll see the full effects within 7-14 days, and they typically last for 3 to 6 months.
Besides, if the Botox treatment is done by a trusted beauty clinic you won’t have any side effects apart from mild swelling or bruising at the injection site.
Dermal Fillers
As we age, changes in the skin’s elasticity can affect our facial symmetry. As injectable treatments, dermal fillers are an excellent, non-surgical way to add definition and shape for a more balanced facial appearance.
These gel-like substances are injected beneath the skin to smooth out marionette lines, smile lines, and nasolabial folds (lines around nose and mouth) and restore the volume of sunken cheeks or temples.
In fact, this facial rejuvenation treatment is a cost-effective way to look younger without surgery or downtime. The results will last for 6 months to several years and there will only be minor side effects including some temporary redness.
Microneedling
Unless you have truckloads of money set aside for laser treatments, microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is an ideal alternative that’ll help to treat a variety of issues including acne, hair loss, dark spots, large pores, reduced skin elasticity, scars, stretch marks, sun damage as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
This process involves pricking the skin with small, sterilized needles which are designed to cause minuscule wounds. These wounds lead your body to priduce more collagen and elastin and ultimately nudge your skin to heal and look younger. Don’t be alarmed, since a numbing cream is applied to rule out pain.
Microneedling takes about 10-20 minutes depending on the area, not to mention, it is also done in the stomach and thighs. This method is considered very safe, and you’ll witness your skin peeling while it heals, which is a common side effect.
Moreover, you will need 4-6 treatments to see significant results with this method.
Laser skin resurfacing
As the name suggests, laser skin resurfacing includes using either ablative (remove outside layers of the skin) or non-ablative lasers (don’t remove any skin layers) to improve your skin by removing age spots, scars, fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, warts, uneven skin tone, etc. Before the procedure, your skin is prepared for professional treatments, and you might be given sedatives or painkillers during the treatment. After cleansing the area, your doctor will use the chosen laser type to enhance the appearance of your skin and the laser is moved around the specified area. Then the treated area is dressed to provide protection. The healing may take 3 to 10 days with only minor side effects, which may include bumps, rashes or swelling, as long as you don’t turn a blind eye to pre and post-care. You should also wear a minimum of 30 SPF sunscreen to reduce the risk of sun damage. Remember that laser skin resurfacing is quite efficient and will produce results that last for several years.Thermage
Last but not least, Thermage is a non-surgical facial and body (abdomen, buttocks, arms, knees, thighs) treatment. It works by stimulating collagen-rich layers of the dermis with Thermage Radio Frequency, which tightens, smooths and lifts the skin. Although collagen production is encouraged, collagen build-up isn’t immediate, so the treatment will take about 4-6 months to produce results. What’s better, Thermage lasts up to 3 years, which is a huge plus. Moreover, there will be no side effects other than appearing a bit flushed during the first couple of hours post-treatment.In a nutshell
All of these beauty treatments are considered safe, and you will glow up without putting your life at stake. So, opt for one of the above procedures before you notice that your skin has seen better days.
The reason is taking action before your skin deteriorates is always better and above all, you deserve it!
