Whereas once undergoing aesthetic procedures to enhance the youthful appearance of the face were a serious business, and something of a dramatic step to take, advances in treatments means today they are much more accessible. Far from being exclusive treatments for the rich and famous, they are now part of the mainstream, and in many cases treatments are also more affordable.
With improvements in the quality and efficacy of skincare products and treatments, it is possible to greatly improve the appearance of an aging face and to retain that fresh look beyond your youth, without having to undergo surgery.
Whether you are considering a surgical procedure such as a facelift, brow lift or neck lift, or just want a less invasive treatment, it is worth remembering that every person is an individual and no issue is the same for everyone. Before embarking on any sort of treatment it is essential you do a lot of research and are careful to choose a surgery or practitioner that is both skilled and experienced. You can read more about how best to choose a surgeon here.
I always advocate a step-by-step approach to tackling the signs of aging. People tend to think, when they have reached a point where they’re unhappy with how the signs of aging are impacting on their appearance that a facelift is on the only answer. This is not at all true and in most cases there is a lot that can be done before reaching that stage.
As I have mentioned in a previous blog, a good skincare routine, with high quality cosmeceuticals can have a significant impact on skin tone, brightness and the appearance of fine lines.
Peels can also be very effective in restoring brightness to skin. While there is always some concern around the words ‘peel’ and ‘acid’, when administered correctly a peel is a great treatment. They gently resurface the face, sloughing off dulling dead skin cells and revealing younger, healthier cells underneath. You might be surprised to discover that they can even be used to revive the appearance of the under eye area.
For a cosmetic peel to be truly effective it needs to have adequate levels of active ingredients and unless administered by a skilled skin professional, this can cause issues for some patients. Have a chat with your practitioner to find out what best suits your concerns and skin condition. There may be some downtime involved with a peel so you need to be aware of that before having any treatments. There can be dryness or peeling as the dead skin cells fall away, so you may prefer to take some time off work to fully recover.
Finally, before even looking at any sort of surgical or invasive treatment we can incorporate the use of injectables such as dermal fillers and Botox to restore lost volume, fill out wrinkles and rejuvenate the face, fighting the signs of aging.
As I detailed in a recent article in Irish Tatler, fillers utilising hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the body, can be used to subtly plump up lines and wrinkles, restoring volume to the face and giving you a proactive way to stop the signs of aging.
The substance is injected with a very small needle and results can be seen immediately. When used correctly, the effects are very natural looking.
Botox, a brand of the botulinum toxin, is a very effective anti-wrinkle injectable that smoothes out lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause them. Again, with a skilled hand the results can look very natural and the whole complexion can be rejuvenated as a result, returning and enhancing your youthful appearance.
If you are considering non-invasive treatments such as a facial peel, fillers or Botox, or a cosmetic surgery procedure, we can advise on the best options for you. Contact us to arrange a consultation.
