Summer is just around the corner and you know what that means… parties! There are graduations, weddings, class reunions … lots of places to go, people to see, and looking our best always makes us feel better about attending these events.
Unfortunately, our lives are so busy that we often put off the idea of revitalizing our skin, usually waiting until the last minute. Add in the fact that our skin takes a full six to eight weeks to cycle and now you can say “hello” to panic-mode that occurs a week before the class reunion, which will be right when your ex-boyfriend posts “see ya’ll there!”
We all have a concern … sometimes two or three. But, waiting means that a full change to the tone and texture of your skin may not have the needed month-and-a-half to two months to see a resolution. Often we want to resolve breakout acne or acne scarring from our youth, or the hyperpigmentation of sun damage, which makes us look years older. Multiple treatments with lasers, chemical peels or microdermabrasions are typically recommended. These treatments must be spaced out with appropriate timing as to not further damage the skin.
If your worry is crow’s feet or laugh lines, Botox can help by relaxing muscle-strained wrinkles found around the edges of the eyes, between the brows and on the forehead. It can take two weeks to fully experience vindication on those timelines.
Fillers, such as Juvéderm, Perlane, Radiesse and Restylane, can replace the loss of volume we experience in our cheeks or lips as we age. Fillers actually have an instantaneous result; so, why mention them in this post? Because it does not matter how well-trained and experienced your injector, bruising can occur. Also, some fillers will actually attract water or collagen and further plump the area.
You don’t have to sweat the big event this summer! And we literally mean sweat! Stop the stress that going in a sleeveless sundress to that graduation party will be the embarrassment of your life. Botox treatment to the underarm area can relieve you (and your clothes) of uncontrollable sweating. See our May Hyperhidrosis Special.
We know what you’re doing now… you’re looking at your calendar to see how far away that big event is. Don’t wait! Call your nurse aesthetician or plastic surgeon, make your consultation appointment, and then start practicing “aw, you’re so sweet” and “thank you” for all the “you look amazing” compliments heard at your big summer event.
