04 Jan Aesthetic Treatments For 2021
Hopefully (fingers crossed) this will be the year that we achieve a better, healthier kind of normal—and this is your chance to show the world that 2020 didn’t break you. Parson Skin Center has seen an influx of clients since the pandemic began, likely because we’ve all spent so much time staring at ourselves during Zoom calls. You may have noticed a few new wrinkles, lost volume in all the right places, and a general increase in skin laxity and poor skin texture. You’re not alone, but you also don’t need to feel like you have to wear these signs of stress and aging into 2021 like battle scars. We have the non-surgical treatments to help you turn back the clock and crank up your glow.
It’s no surprise that Botox tops the list of must-have treatments for 2021. Yes, it definitely freezes unwanted lines and wrinkles in their tracks, but it also does so much more! You can use Botox as a non-surgical alternative to a subtle brow lift or upper eyelid lift, stop excessive sweating, and even prevent migraines with this miracle injection. If you haven’t tried Botox yet (or if you fell off your Botox schedule during the pandemic), now is the time to get it started. Results can be appreciated in just one week, so this is a fast and easy solution to some of the most common skin complaints.
Put 2020 in the Past
Dermal fillers have long been one of the most-requested aesthetic treatments, but those demands really skyrocketed in 2020. A lot of people think lip fillers when they hear dermal fillers, and while lips are a popular place for these injections, there’s so much more to them! There are many types of dermal fillers from a number of trusted manufacturers, and each filler is designed for a certain face or body part and meant to last a specific time.
The most common ingredient in fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA), which is already naturally found in the body. Unfortunately, we produce less of this acid as we get older. Dermal fillers re-infuse HA into targeted sites to plump lips, enhance the cheekbones, strengthen jawlines, fill in the hollow areas below the eyes, and even increase volume on the tops of the hands. The results of HA dermal fillers are immediate, though if you’re planning a special occasion you should schedule your filler about a week in advance. Some swelling, redness, and minor bruising may occur in the first few days after your treatment.
An All-Natural Approach
Microneedling has been around for decades, and it remains one of the most-requested add-on treatments for just about any procedure—however, it’s also a fantastic treatment in its own right! Microneedling is minimally invasive and 100 percent comfortable. Clients love it because what it really does is harness the healing powers of your own body. There’s no injections or placement of any foreign or organic materials during a microneedling session. Instead, tiny and painless micro-injuries are created in the skin using medical-grade needles to tell the body to produce collagen and elastin only in those sites. Along with HA, we also produce less collagen and elastin as we age. Microneedling kick-starts that production and can help with just about any skin concern, from hyperpigmentation to scarring.
The HydraFacial is a fantastic addition to microneedling or virtually any other procedure. It uses a patented technology with a hydra-dermabrasion procedure in a three-step process that cleanses, extracts, and hydrates. As you can imagine, microneedling before a HydraFacial is a great idea because all of those micro-injuries allow for the HydraFacial to really delve deep into the skin’s layers. HydraFacial appointments require less than 45 minutes, and this treatment goes well beyond any kind of dermabrasion you’ve had in the past. At the same time, it’s also gentle. Results are immediate, but continue to improve in the days following the procedure and you can get right back to daily tasks with no downtime. It’s perfectly fine to schedule a HydraFacial on the day of a special event.
