With so much choice on the market, it is often difficult to pick through everything and figure out which treatments are worth getting. Sure, some sound fantastic, but will they actually make a difference in the long run?
That’s the big question we ask in this post. We look at the top beauty treatments and whether you should give them any of your time.
Microneedling
Microneedling is one such treatment that’s probably worth trying to see if it makes a difference for your skin. The technique involves rolling a dermaroller studded with tiny needles over your skin to create small perforations in the outer layer. It sounds violent, but it won’t draw blood and it could have a profound effect on skin quality.
Microneedling works by stimulating the skin, causing it to produce more rejuvenating factors. Over time, it looks brighter and healthier, and sometimes younger.
Microneedling is something you can do every three to six months. Don’t do it more than that, just in case you don’t give the skin time to recover.
Laser Hair Removal
Another beauty treatment worth getting is laser hair removal. Like microneedling, it’s a proven technique and removes up to 100% of hair from target areas.
The system works by heating the melanin colour pigment in hair shafts. This action transmits heat into the follicles, permanently deactivating them.
Generally, you will need two or three sessions to achieve full coverage. That’s because some hairs are always dormant at any given time. Once you complete treatment, the hair will almost never grow back, or if it does, it will be much finer, making it invisible from a distance.
Facials
Facials are high on the list of beauty treatments worth getting in some situations. These can improve the appearance of the skin and give you an extra glow, just like you’ve had cosmetic surgery.
The reason they work is because of how natural most new products are. Instead of being harsh on the skin, these encourage it to come back renewed and stronger.
Multiple facial types are available, so be sure to find one that suits your requirements. Most spas and clinics will provide a quick blurb, telling you which options are best and whether you are suited to particular approaches. Simply choose the one that deals with your concerns.
Botox
While it might be controversial, Botox is another treatment worth getting for most people. It’s popular because of its safety record and effectiveness.
Botox comes from botulism toxin, a special compound that relaxes the muscles in the face. Cosmetic surgeons inject it into problem areas to reduce movement, helping to fight skin-creasing and wrinkles.
While it might sound strange, botox is highly effective. The treatment works on the majority of people, with effects lasting six to twelve months.
Fillers
Lastly, consider fillers, another treatment that appears to work. These involve injecting hyaluronic acid under the skin to stimulate hydration and collagen production.
Fillers work by plumping the face and are excellent for anyone experiencing volume loss. What’s more, they contain mostly natural ingredients.
