June 21st marks International ‘Selfie Day’! Yes, it’s a thing. With the increased popularity of Instagram, you would have thought we’d have all perfected our selfie! But there’s always room for enhancement. Today, we’re not here to talk about camera angles and when to use the flash! But you could check out this article from the good people at allure.com. for some great tips. Instead, we thought we’d share three of our most popular cosmetic injectable treatments (available in Nelson or Blenheim) to help you master your selfie or even find a new zest for Zoom meetings!
Cosmetic Injectable Treatments – Look great on camera!
Cosmetic Botulinum:
When we talk about cosmetic injectable treatments, cosmetic botulinum (commonly known as Botox) will often be the procedure that springs to the forefront of your mind. And there’s a good reason for that. This treatment is well known for softening fine lines or wrinkles caused by facial expressions, stress and sun. Botox is a natural, purified protein that relaxes the facial muscles that cause problem wrinkles, creating a smooth, rejuvenated, and youthful appearance.
Two big myths surround the use of Botox. The first is that it is unsafe. In fact, Botox® therapy has a good safety profile. It has been used in millions of people worldwide and to treat many medical conditions, including eye spasm, neck spasm and headaches. That said, we would always recommend that you seek cosmetic injectable treatments from a registered practitioner. At enhanceskin, we are members of The New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine.
The second myth that concerns people who haven’t had this cosmetic injectable treatment before is that they will end up looking ‘frozen’ or permanently ‘startled’. At enhanceskin, we aim to create natural-looking results. Most of our Nelson and Blenheim clients say they want to look natural, relaxed and refreshed without looking “done”. Friends simply comment that they look rested and great.
Dermal Fillers:
As we age, the bones of the face shrink, furthermore fat and soft tissue are lost from under the skin. This leaves hollows under the eyes, at the temples and the corners of the mouth, pleating across the cheeks, and grooves running from the nose to the mouth. These will often be the areas that concern you when you look at the digital replication of your face.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that we inject into the skin to physically lift and sculpt areas of the face, neck and décolletage. This helps correct wrinkles, folds, scars and asymmetries. We also use dermal fillers for lip rejuvenation to increase lip size and enhance lip shape. As you age, they can help to restore your natural lip hydration and border.
One of the best things about dermal fillers as a cosmetic injectable treatment is that the results are instant. The liquid facelift is one of our most popular treatments. It takes between 30 and 60 minutes, so you can literally look younger in a lunch break!
Profhilo:
Finally, this game-changing cosmetic injectable treatment is often mistaken for a dermal filler, but it has key differences! Profhilo is not a filler… Instead, it is an anti-ageing skin revitaliser, counteracting skin laxity and restoring firmness.
It uses a unique, highly concentrated form of hyaluronic acid that stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin to provide hydration and plumpness. We like to think of it as a skin booster working from the inside out.
We offer a complimentary, no-obligation initial consultation for all cosmetic injectable treatments. These are available in Nelson and Blenheim. So book yours HERE and get ready to look great on camera!
