Have You Heard Of The Nefertiti Lift Yet?

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

While the whole world expects that it’s wrinkles that age you, it’s actually your jaw that’s really making you look old. Why does the jawline age you faster than wrinkles do? In youth, the cheekbones are high and wide, the jawline is sharp and well-defined and this youthful facial shape is known as the “triangle of youth”. As we age, the triangle gradually inverts as the jawline changes from “V”-shaped to U-shaped and a double chin. So is there something for all the 40-somethings who are sadly observing their once-taut jawlines slowly disappear? Apparently, there is a new trend amongst Hollywood celebrities to keep themselves looking ever so youthful. It has to do with using Botox but has nothing to do with erasing wrinkles. It’s the Nefertiti lift, named after the Egyptian queen famous for her well-defined jawline. Many aesthetic doctors consider the shape of the face much more important than wrinkles, so tightening your jawline will make you look much younger compared to Botox for the wrinkles on your Continue Reading

This Helped Me Tone My Butt Effortlessly

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

The idea that I can have my butt toned by just lying down for 30 minutes sounds amazing. In fact, it sounds too good to be true. Yet, the latest technology to join the non-surgical fat reduction gang of treatments, magnetic muscle sculpting has gotten people obsessed, because although effortless, it is a kind of supplementation to exercise. There are no drugs to take, no needles and knives to bear.   HOW MAGNETIC MUSCLE STIMULATION WORKS First of all, this is mainly painless, but not sensation-free. It feels exactly like a really intense butt workout. Starting from a lower power, this is gradually turned up to stress-stimulate the muscle to induce timed, controlled contractions. After a series of contractions, it moves on to a tapping mode to help break down lactic acid released by the muscles. MMS can be applied over your clothes too. It uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to cause supramaximal contractions which are involuntary. Its benefits are two-fold: firstly it stimulates muscle contractions which builds muscle fibers for Continue Reading

It’s Not Just About The Face – 3 Treatments That People Are Doing Now To Look Younger

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Chances are, if you are reading this post, you are already taking basic care of your face. But many people still only realise they have neglected everywhere else below the neck when something else apart from the face and neck gives their ages away. Here are 3 popular treatments that people are (secretly) doing to keep themselves in the game.   EAR LOBE FILLERS Yes that’s right. If you have spent years with heavy earrings, chances are, your earlobes look pretty stretched out by now. Droopy and depressed earlobes can now get a new lease of life. Sounds like this requires significant effort, but it does not. People are now obsessed with plumping up their slack ear lobes with hyaluronic acid fillers to carry their oversized chandeliers. And all it takes is one or two injections into the right spot to combat the droopy and wrinkled appearance, immediately.   HAND FILLERS This is not a scam, it’s real. THE FDA has approved the use of a hyaluronic acid filler for Continue Reading

The Treatment For Teeth Grinding Lies In An Anti-Wrinkle Jab

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Teeth grinding is common. Bruxism is usually harmless, but its side effects can be annoying, such as waking up with sore teeth and jaws, facial pain, headaches. Over time, teeth grinding wears the teeth down and causes oral complications. Treatments include wearing teeth guards at night, relaxation techniques and of course, regular dental visits. Medical treatments include pain relief medications, or muscle relaxants.   BOTOX FOR TEETH GRINDING Yes you read it right. Botox is the anti-wrinkle injection, but in this case, it can also be used to prevent the complications of teeth grinding. Teeth guards help, but they are only effective in protecting the teeth. Injecting Botox directly into the masseter muscles on both sides of the face will reduce the tension of these muscles, which removes all the problems of teeth grinding, especially jaw and facial pain. Pain relief occurs as early as within a week, and a welcome “side effect” of this treatment is it can reduce the size of the masseter muscles, so you notice a Continue Reading

How Do Facelifts Of The Future Look Like?

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Speak of facelifts and painful recovery comes to mind. But the worlds of plastic surgery and dermatology are becoming increasingly intertwined. Less invasive treatments are what patients now want and doctors have come up with creative techniques to try to marry the lowest downtime treatments with the most natural-looking age-reversal treatments possible. If the skin aging is too far advanced, the surgical facelift is still the longest lasting and possibly the most effective treatment of choice. Apart from weeks of bruising and swelling, potential patients also have to accept higher surgical risks. Rather than having to mitigate these risks later in life, patients are opting for treatments earlier. Facelifts of the future do not involve the scalpel. Instead, they are done under the comfort of topical numbing only.   STEMCELL FACELIFT – YOUTH SAVANT You might have heard of hyaluronic acid skinboosters, but this is not it. Youth Savant is stemcell extract therapy containing building blocks of purified salmon DNA. Using microinjections, this is delivered into the skin to increase Continue Reading
