In a world where the ‘latest and greatest’ can change on the daily, seeking facial rejuvenation treatments that attune a natural vision ensures you look timeless through the Christmas season and beyond. So, what are a few key cosmetic surgery and appearance medicine facial procedures you can lock in before summer to restore and rejuvenate – but don’t require weeks of downtime and recovery?
When we hear the word ‘facelift’ many of us often think invasive, with swelling, redness and weeks needed to recover. However, there’s no one sized facelift procedure to fit all: age, genetics, lifestyle and appearance goals will determine which type of facelift procedure is best suited to you. A temporal lift is one facelift procedure that can be performed under local anaesthetic, and doesn’t require a lot of downtime – the majority of swelling typically subsides within a couple of days post-surgery. A temporal lift – or a lateral brow lift or S lift – targets sagging and involves tightening the muscles and lifting the skin above and below the brows, and side of the upper face. A temporal lift can be performed in under an hour and instantly refreshes and lifts.
Botox and dermal fillers remain staples in the appearance medicine department for their ability to target facial lines, plump wrinkles and lift facial tissues non-invasively, and all in a lunchbreak.
Botox serves many benefits, smoothing out dynamic facial lines like the crow’s feet, forehead creases and frown lines, and softening a square jaw. For facial rejuvenation, a single Botox session may take 20-to-30 minutes, with results lasting on average three-to-four months. Locking in your Botox procedure atleast two weeks out from your Christmas parties and engagements ensures results shine through on time.
Unlike Botox, results from dermal fillers can be seen immediately following treatment and results sustain on average six-to-12 months. You may experience some minor bruising and swelling after treatment, so don’t leave it too close to Christmas Day! Dermal fillers are created from the collagen-renewing substance Hyaluronic Acid which works to plump wrinkles, lift facial tissues and smoothen scars. With dermal fillers you can expect more volume under the cheeks and eyes, and a naturally enhanced appearance.
