Your face changes as you age. We often look for fine lines and wrinkles but there are other signs of aging that deserve attention. In particular, look out for these 5 signs that beauty experts universally agree that should be taken care judiciously before its too late.   JOWLS Losing the chiseled jawline is usually devastating for both men and women alike. With growing age, the skin produces less collagen and becomes thinner and less elastic over time. As the skin loses its natural fullness and resilience, it becomes vulnerable to gravity and the skin begins to sag. “Jowls” are unflattering pouches of skin below the jawline on both sides of the chin.   Say goodbye to sagging jowls with Ultherapy, a non-invasive skin lifting treatment.

The Facelifts Of Tomorrow – Three Skin Treatments That Will Reduce Your Skin Age Drastically

The anti-aging treatments of tomorrow will relax wrinkles, smoothen out fine lines, firm the skin and even fill up lines on the face. Check out these 3 powerful doctor-approved treatments that will reduce your skin age drastically.   1. YOUTH SAVANT A youth miracle in a needle, they say. Youth Savant contains polynucleotides (PN), the building blocks of DNA required for cellular survival in our skin. Purified from salmon germ cells, our skin uses these DNA building blocks to build a natural resilience, resulting in younger, more youthful skin.

The Best Treatments For Melasma

Melasma refers to patchy hyperpigmentation usually on both cheeks, the bridge of the nose, the chin, the upper lip and even the forehead. Less commonly, melasma can also occur on the body such as the neck or the arms (sun-exposed areas). This pattern of hyperpigmentation is related to sun exposure and is also hormonal-related, meaning it is commonly seen in pregnancy and hormonal therapies (such as the oral contraceptive). Those who have it will know the melasma is notoriously difficult to treat, because it is difficult to remove the instigating hormonal factors.
