We often think of the new year as a time of renewal. Why not carry that theme on your face? Your face is the part of you that people see first. It reflects your age, level of stress, and lifestyle habits. You can put your freshest face forward this year by trying one of these four highly effective medical spa treatments.
1. Microdermabrasion
If you feel like your skin has lost its luster, consider trying microdermabrasion this year. This advanced exfoliating technique can minimize the appearance of imperfections and give your skin a smoother, softer texture. Microdermabrasion even helps to stimulate your skin’s own collagen production. [pullquote]For ultra-refined results, look for a practice that uses a diamond-tipped microdermabrasion wand.[/pullquote]
2. Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a powerful treatment that can renew and beautify your skin. Laser treatments are used to treat wrinkles, lines, scarring and other skin issues. Look for practices run by board-certified plastic surgeons. There is no shortage of facilities offering medical spa treatments, but it’s just too risky to trust your delicate facial skin to someone who may not be sufficiently qualified.
3. BOTOX®
There’s a reason that BOTOX® is so popular. It’s quick, easy and affordable, and the results can be amazing. It works by relaxing the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles in the upper portion of the face. BOTOX® can help make your face look smoother and more youthful.
4. Dermal Fillers
Injectable dermal fillers can help restore lost volume to the face. They can also be used to fill in deep lines, wrinkles and scars. There are several different types of fillers, such as JUVÉDERM® and RADIESSE®. Fillers and BOTOX® can be used together for more comprehensive results. Consult with a plastic surgeon to help you determine which fillers would work best for you.
