Best Lifting Treatments For The Face

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

I saw one of those aging time-lapse videos and it was horrifying to watch a face age instantly over 30 seconds. But the truth is, that’s a playback of what happens in actual life and everyone will get wrinkles and our skin will eventually sag. If you’ve approached your 40s with care, chances are you are still looking pretty good. But for the rest of us who never used sunscreens from a young age, the cumulative effects of sun exposure and age might have resulted in wrinkles and a loss of collagen, resulting in a gradually drooping face. Whatever the case, do not wait till your 50s to start on skin tightening treatments, because it will probably be too late. The earlier you start skin tightening treatments, the younger you will look in later years to come.   ULTHERAPY – BEST FACE LIFTER Ultherapy is the secret of many V-shaped faces around. This FDA-approved treatment uses high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to stimulate new collagen in the deep supporting structures Continue Reading

Too much makeup can age the skin around the eyes faster, turning this into a vicious cycle. Here are some simple tricks that people are doing for eye beauty.   1. “GOLDEN EYE’ Advancements in medical technology means that we can now perform skin-tightening treatments around the eye safely and with comfort. Golden Eye uses HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound), a treatment that rejuvenates the delicate skin around the eyes in a painless manner. Using focal lines and micro-ultrasound with a cold laser, the energy is passed progressively at 1mm, 1.5mm, and 2mm for tissue regeneration. Expect a firming and eye-brightening effect.   2. THERMAGE EYES For a deeper and more long-lasting treatment, try Thermage Eyes, which uses a more energy-intensive radiofrequency treatment to smoothen fine lines and wrinkles and for an eye lift.   3.

Nose Threadlifts Or Nose Fillers – Which Is Better?

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

The non-surgical rhinoplasty is probably one of the most common non-invasive cosmetic procedures done today. A quick, virtually painless alternative to the surgical nose job, the risks are lower and there is very minimal, if not, zero downtime. Non-surgical nose enhancements can be done using dermal fillers (touted the ‘liquid rhinoplasty’) or nose threads, but do you know which one you should choose?   1. NOSE FILLERS – THE LIQUID RHINOPLASTY Dermal fillers can be used to lift the nose bridge or to refine the nose tip. This comes packaged in a syringe and is injected directly into areas that your doctor wants to modify. Hyaluronic acid fillers are most commonly used, being dissolvable easily if there is a need to. Once injected, they are slowly broken down by the body over the following months, and last on average 9 to 18 months. Being an injectable, nose fillers can be used to hide a bump on the nose, or make it less visible. It can also be cleverly used to Continue Reading

7 Things You Should Know About Male Pattern Hair Loss

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Male pattern hair loss (MPHL) is hair loss that affects males, mainly at the crown of the head or at the hairline. Not quite the same as going bald, it can begin as a single bald spot, or a receding hairline that slowly forms an ‘M’ shape. Here are 7 things you should know about MPHL, including whether it can be grown back.   1. IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY It is believed that MPHL is an inheritable condition. The androgen receptor gene is one of them, which is on the X-chromosome, but it doesn’t mean that hair loss is inherited from the mother, because there are other genes involved in the condition as well. 2. STRESS CAN INCREASE THE RATE OF HAIR LOSS IN MPHL Under stressful circumstances, hormonal changes or scalp issues, someone predisposed to hair loss genetically may notice an increase in hair loss. 3. STRESS ALONE CAN INCREASE HAIR SHEDDING Sometimes, losing hair might be temporary. Telogen effluvium is a condition where there is increased hair Continue Reading
