Everyone today is considering some type of filler or permanent makeup to make them feel much more beautiful and confident in their skin. Although facial fillers have become the cosmetic trend of the decade, people are slowly realising the long-term implications that facial fillers can impose. The solutions over time begin to migrate, leaving patients with uneven appearances, and overfilled faces from trying to fix the asymmetry.
Although filler is the new norm or even the entryway into cosmetic enhancements, there are many more treatments out there that are much better for your appearance. We are going to share 8 of the most underrated cosmetic enhancements that can revitalise your look, and offer you a new lease on life. Remember to always consult with a licensed professional who offers these treatments. Cutting corners when it comes to cosmetic procedures can potentially mean irreversible damage.
Chemical peels
Starting off strong, chemical peels are an amazing treatment to have if you are looking to brighten the appearance of your skin and resolve any texture issues. They can sound daunting, but in all honesty, they are one of the most effective ways to offer your skin a fresh start. The chemical solution works to peel off a thin layer of your skin, encouraging collagen levels to increase and work to repair the damaged skin layer. Think of it as asking your skin cells to wake up. The chemical peel is a catalyst for collagen production and can leave your skin clearer and free of wrinkles once repaired. It can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks for your skin to heel, but once this is done you will notice a much brighter and beautiful look.
Laser
Laser therapy is often just as effective as the chemical peel. The advantage of laser therapy is that it’s a much more targeted approach if you have specific areas of concern on your face. For example, if you have suffered from acne and have specific locations with redness and scarring, lasers can zoom in on the affected area. This means that tissues of the face that are not a concern can be left, and healing can be sped up. Laser is used for a number of things from skin replenishment, to tattoo removal to laser hair removal, utilising the power of laser is what many of the celebrities today are doing.
Botox Injections
Botox is not the new kid in town, but they are still just as effective. The key to getting good botox is starting with minimal, and only getting it in areas that are immediately obvious. Botox can balance out your facial symmetry, reduce the appearance of fine lines and overall leave you looking much more natural and youthful. The best thing about Botox is the non-existent downtime, with results being visible within just a few hours.
Lip flips
Steering away from the lip filler trend, people are now opting for the ‘lip flip’ to perfect the shape of their lips without the requirement of adding volume. Lip flips utilise botulinum toxins aka boto to relax the lips muscle, causing the ‘flip’ that makes the upper lip look much fuller. The lip flip can last anywhere from 3 to 4 months and can make such a big change with such a subtle difference. People are dissolving their botched lip fillers and opting for the lip flip instead in a bid to keep the desirable shape and appearance of their lips.
Facial fat transfers
Facial fat transfers can sound daunting, but they are much more common than you would think. Those who have lost volume in the face due to ageing, or in extreme cases of filler migration, opt for the facial fat transfer to restore the plump appearance. This procedure involves repositioning fat deposits from one area of the body or face to another. It is common for the face to lose volume and elasticity with ageing. The facial far transfer is a more permanent solution for restoring volume.
Mini facelift
Facelifts have been a huge topic lately. With seemingly reverse ageing from the likes of Christina Aguilera and visible signs of this procedure in the likes of Kylie Jenner, facelifts are starting to become mainstream. Although more invasive and costly, the facelift completely transforms your face, removing any loose skin, and creating a much more sculpted and youthful look. The best thing about the mini facelift specifically is its attention to the lower protons of the face. It’s often here where dropping skin starts to pull down the appearance of the face. Small and intricate incision sites are placed behind or next to the ears, and the muscles are tightened. Be sure to consult with a credible plastic surgeon in Manchester regarding such procedures as this procedure requires someone with a breadth of experience and knowledge.
Tip rhinoplasty
Last but certainly not least, we are looking at the nose. Rhinoplasty can be considered a more invasive and drastic change in appearance, and the introduction of tip rhinoplasty makes it seem that much more accessible. Tip rhinoplasty, as the name suggests, solely focuses on the tip cartilage and bone of the nose, shaving and sculpting in a way to make the nose appear more aesthetically pleasing. This procedure has been used by the likes of Ariana Grade and more. Such a small change can have a huge difference to the face’s overall symmetry. One of the biggest benefits is the significantly less downtime required when compared to other facial rejuvenation practices.
Overall…
To wrap things up, these are some of the most underrated cosmetic enhancements that should be considered before more mainstream ones. Whether you are looking to revitalise your skin or perfect your facial symmetry, there are so many procedures that are minimally invasive, effective, and used by many celebrities for small yet notable changes.
