How to Look 20 Years Younger: The 7 Best Minimally Invasive Aesthetics Procedures
Maintaining a youthful appearance is something we are all striving for but do you know there are minimally invasive procedures that can achieve results to make you look 20 years younger? Surgery is not the only way to achieve lasting results and make your friends say WOW! Oh yes, there are surgical and non-surgical options to look at! If you are seeking for a good anti-aging treatment, consider these 7 options that really make a difference:
Non-Surgical Facelifts with Radio Frequency Energy
There are plenty of different cosmetic treatments that use radio frequency (RF) energy but FaceTite & AccuTite are currently the most trendy and popular ones. Both therapies use RF energy to target sagging loose skin in the face and neck area. FaceTite melts fat and tightens the skin simultaneously, which can effectively counter common signs of aging to create a more youthful appearance in just one treatment. AccuTite tightens skin and liquifies fat cells in the more difficult areas to treat and is perfect for precise fat reduction or skin contraction in the brows, eyelids, laugh lines, smile lines (corner of mouth), and the neck.
Non-Surgical Facelift with MINT Thread Lift
A MINT Lift is just as refreshing as your minty mojito! Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread (MINT) Lift addresses the signs of aging that impact the mid-face area. Changes like sagging skin are caused by gravity over time. This procedure strives to create a sharper jawline and V-line (the point of your chin upward towards your ears) with minimal incisions at the hairline. This thread lift promotes collagen synthesis and creates lasting results with almost no downtime required!
Morpheus8 Microneedling
You may have heard of microneedling before but what the heck is it and how will it actually help you? This procedure uses tiny sterile needles to prick the skin thus inducing the production of collagen and new skin tissue. If you have scars, large pores, or wrinkles this procedure can be a great option for you! Your doctor can perform this treatment on the face or body! Morpheus8 is another device that, besides microneedling, utilizes radio frequency energy to remodel and contour the face and body. This microneedling treatment penetrates deep into the skin and lifts sagging tissue for a smoother and sleeker appearance. Also, it is great for reducing irregularities and can be combined with PRP therapy for optimal results!
PRP Therapies
Did you know your body has its own healing system that can be tapped into and redistributed to areas that need some extra help? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy uses your own blood platelets (that special part of your blood) to accelerate the healing and trigger collagen production to treat things like acne scars, hair loss, and loss of skin glow. This therapy is the most natural injectable anti-aging treatment. Some people call it the “Vampire Lifting” as it pulls your own blood that is rich in nutrients and helps fight the signs of aging while tightening and smoothing your face when used there. This method is considered very safe when performed in a clean environment by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Tanya Perich from Perich Aesthetics. Choosing the right injector is critical when it comes to PRP injections - your safety is always first.
Dermal Fillers
We all know our hormones flux and change as we age but did you know that these changes can cause bone loss in the face?! Think of it like osteoporosis as occurring in the face. Stress is a major contributor and people with high stress will see this occurring faster than others. One great option to help alleviate the signs of aging are derma fillers. Dermal fillers can do even more than you may realize! They can reducing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as enhance cheeks, brows, and lips but they can help contour cheeks and jawlines or even be used to do a non-surgical rhinoplasty (yup- nose job!). The great thing about this option is that the injections are quick and you can see results right away. Some people will need more than one treatment to get their optimal desired results but the quick nature and relative low cost will be well worth it! There are multiple brands to choose from and Dr. Perich will be happy to go over these options with you to find your best match! Also if you are one of those high stress individuals who tends to grind your teeth at night or clinch your jaw throughout the day it is imperative to see your dentist to get fitted for a bite guard to reduce stress damage to your facial structures! (Keep reading below on more tips to help reduce stress as well!)
Collagen Stimulating Sculptra®
Ah Collagen- the popular buzz word we have all been hearing about but really are not sure what and how to best achieve results with. This is where Sculptra® can come in! If you are not keen on getting fillers then this product is really going to intrigue you. Sculptra® is not a filler, it is a biostimulator which means that it stimulates the body to produce its own type 1 collagen over time- giving you a permanent result! This wonder procedure will help you fight those wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin similar to a derma filler giving you a more youthful appearance. The process itself is more gradual than derma fillers which will be less noticeable to those that see you everyday.- so you can keep it your little secret! We really love this option and know you will too!
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Welcome to Florida! Where the sun is shining but your skin is whining… Yes we love this beautiful state and the joys the sunshine brings to all our lives however we cannot claim that it does not have an effect on our skin. We hope everyone is making sure to use sunscreen on their faces daily but also know that the damage can happen over time to create dark spots and aging that no one wants. One of your best options to renew your skin tone and texture is laser skin resurfacing which removes the outer layers of the skin and allows new radiant skin cells to shine through. This treatment can also help with fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, large pores, worts, and spider veins oh ya! Give your face a complete 1-2 punch of freshness that can help boost the production of collagen as well!
All of the procedures will help you achieve those 20 years back in time but it is also important to understand how you got there in the first place and how you can help maintain the youthful appearance through healthy habits. Stress has a big impact on your aging process and also on your overall health. It’s important to take things like adrenal adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha to modulate stress since it is ubiquitous in our society. Starting things like meditation, yoga, journaling as stress reduction activities are highly recommended for all individuals. Some other supplements that help with stress reduction include Magnesium, L-theanine, and even Melatonin at night time to ensure a great night sleep. Of course getting your body moving and eating lots of greens are very important as well to supply your body the nutrients it needs and the use to keep the blood pumping well.
