Making the decision to alter your body can be tough. Gaining confidence in your sexy, though? There’s no easier decision in the world. Self-care is something many of us were taught to feel guilty about, like thinking highly of ourselves is some kind of mortal sin. Imagine reprogramming your mind to put your desire to feel great about your body before the stigmas you’ve adopted as your own.
Cosmetic surgery is no longer the best kept secret of millions of men and women all over the world anymore. That’s largely because people are opting for maintenance surgeries, or procedures that make them look and feel tightened and toned, and not necessarily younger. Essentially, people want to feel younger, but are less concerned with looking younger. Breast augmentation trends are shifting toward lifts from implants, and face-lifts aren’t as popular as they used to be.
Only 1.7 million people received surgical procedures last year, while 14.2 million received minimally invasive procedures like laser hair removal and microdermabrasion. These current figures illustrate that men and women are accepting their individual beauty more and more, they just want to look good doing it. The least invasive procedures give a naturally youthful look, and that’s not body altering, that’s life altering.
Chemical Peel
As we get older, skin cells don’t replenish as quickly as when we were in our 20s and 30s. Underneath the surface lies radiant skin, covered by dead cells that take longer to fall away. With no sedation, preparation, or lengthy recovery time, it’s completed carefully but quickly. The final results are smoother skin, reduced lines and wrinkles, faded dark spots and scars, and an overall improvement of skin texture and complexion.
Microdermabrasion
This procedure is good for people whose skin is sensitive to chemical peels. A diamond-tipped vacuum slightly larger than a pen glides across the skin’s surface, stimulating the production of new skin cells while suctioning the uppermost layer’s dead skin cells. The procedure is subtle, yet very effective for producing collagen and stimulating blood flow.
Laser Hair Removal
One of the most successful procedures in cosmetic dermatology, laser hair removal sees 97% satisfaction rate in those who receive the treatment. Patients who receive between 3 and 8 sessions have often reported permanent hair loss on treated areas. The laser penetrates into the root of the hair shaft where the pigment absorbs the shock of the light. In addition to removing unwanted hair, laser hair removal also treats a condition known as pseudofolliculitis. This condition is marked by hair bumps that resemble acne wherever hair is coarse- facial hair and bikini line being the most prevalent. People often see results after just one treatment.
Confidence is the stimulant for youthful vitality. It knows no age, no restrictions based on what everyone or anyone deems acceptable. While statistics show that cosmetic surgery is a billion dollar business, people are proving that they are setting their own standards of beauty in some pretty revolutionary ways. Skin care is self care, and it’s important to take care of it from the depth to the surface. And since it’s is the first thing people see when they look at others as well as in the mirror, there’s no reason not to feel beautiful in it.
