As we get older, we may be more tempted to try out different treatments in order to enhance our appearance. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the different options…
Smile lift
A smile lift is a treatment that is designed to straighten an upturned smile. It does this by relaxing the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down. This is a treatment that involves using Botox, and thus it is a non-surgical procedure. If you have a distinct and permanent frown type expression, this is definitely something worth considering.
There are at least 20 pairs of facial muscles that are devoted to expression. Your expression and the extent of it are determined by the balance of the muscles that lift and those that pull. The Depressor Anguli Oris muscles are one of the most powerful for pulling the muscles down. By weakening this, it allows the lifting muscles to pull up the corner of your mouth, which results in a smiling face as opposed to a frowning one. There are many reasons why you could have a sagging mouth, with aging being one of the more common ones.
So, how does a smile lift work? Botox is injected strategically around the area of your mouth. This provides support and volume, which will, in turn, bring up the corners of your lip, leaving you with a more approachable look. The number of injections and their placement is dependent on each patient, and thus this will be assessed during the consultation phase. This treatment can literally take years off your appearance. After all, a smile is one of the most beautiful attributes a person has, and it is one of the most positive emotions.
Dental implants
Is there anything better than a bright, white smile? This is often the first thing that we notice about another person. Dental implants are essentially a new permanent tooth. You may want to go down this root if you have a loose tooth or your tooth has decayed and is now a yellow or brown color. This can make a massive difference, giving you a huge confidence boost.
Of course, there are a lot of different dental treatments that are out there today. You may decide to go for teeth whitening instead of dental implants if your teeth are in good condition and simply need to be brightened up a bit.
Hollow Temples
Sunken temples can cause a gaunt appearance, and dermal fillers provide an easy, effective, and safe way of reversing this look. If you find yourself hiding behind your fringe, this is the treatment for you. Look fresh, youthful, and get your confidence back.
The temple is the region on both sides of your face between where your brow bone starts, next to the eye and the top of the cheekbone. They are often one of the most undervalued and neglected parts of the face. However, they play an important role. A loss of volume in this area can happen as we get older, and this can cause a shadow effect, which causes the individual to have a dreary appearance. If this sounds familiar, there is no need to let it get you down any longer, as it is something that can be treated really easily.
When it comes to non-surgical rejuvenation for your skin, dermal fillers are the most versatile treatment. The procedure will typically only last about an hour, with recovery time being between two and four hours. A specialist will always start the treatment by cleaning the area and applying numbing cream, thus you can be confident that it will not be too painful. Once you have recovered, you need to follow a careful aftercare program for the next 24 hours, which is something your specialist will advise on. There are not many complications associated with dermal fillers for hollow temples, although some people do experience redness, swelling, and bruising.
Nose re-shaping
Are you unhappy with the shape of your nose? Have you considered surgery but you can’t bring yourself to go through with it? Well, the good news is that you do not have to. There is now an option for shaping and straightening your nose without having to go under the knife. The results are just as impressive too without the downtime and the trauma.
If you have any of the following, this treatment is suitable for you – you would like either more definition or height, you have already had surgical rhinoplasty and your nose requires refinement, you have a moderate or mild bump on your nose’s bridge, you have a mild to moderate drooping of the nasal tip, you have a hook-shaped nose that would like straightening, a small nose that needs building up, or a slightly crooked nose.
The procedure involves small amounts of dermal filler being injected into accurate and carefully planned locations in the skin. This ensures that there is complete control over the contours and the shape that is created during the treatment. This highlights the importance of choosing a clinic with a great amount of care. The treatment should take about one hour, and the recovery phase is between two and four hours. At most clinics, they will apply numbing cream beforehand to reduce any pain considerably.
These are just four of the different treatments that are available for people today.
