Ageing is inevitable and a stage of life which we should take joy from. After all, women often become more confident and comfortable in their own skin as they age, but that doesn’t mean we can’t delay things a little. While face lifts and other surgeries are not for everyone, the good news is that there are minimally invasive treatments and tips to take a few years off which don’t involve surgery or lots of money. It’s important to note that minimally invasive treatments are often more affordable than plastic surgery,but you need to be sure you’re choosing a fully qualified professional with the correct certification.

Botox Injections
Botox is a protein which comes from the botulinum toxin which is injected into the muscle. This restricts the nerves and prevents the movement of muscle until lines and wrinkles fade away. It is often used on the forehead to smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and lines. It is not a permanent treatment and usually needs to be repeated every 3-4 months to prevent lines from coming back.

Injectables or Fillers
Injectables are also known as soft tissue fillers and can give quick results. The fillers acre often calcium hydroxyapatite-based or hyaluronic acid-based, but a professional will need to check for any allergies before treatment. The chemical is injected beneath the surface of the skin to smooth out lines and wrinkles. It can be used to treat laughter lines, frown lines and to create fuller lips.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth whitening or other types of cosmetic dentistry can make a big difference when trying to look more youthful. A white and even smile can take years off you for several reasons. Firstly, a gleaming set of white teeth often leads to increased confidence, better communication, and a lot more smiling! A full set of white teeth is also a big indicator of health as discolored teeth are associated with older or unhealthy people. If you think a brighter smile could be the key to a younger look, make sure you find a top dentist specializing in cosmetic dentistry.

Chemical Peel
A chemical peel can be used alongside a face lift but is being increasingly used as a treatment in its own right. The chemical peel is a combination of one or more acids (often glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid or alpha hydroxy acid) which rejuvenate the skin by lifting away dead skin. This can improve wrinkles, sun damage, fine lines, scarring from acne and can improve skin tone.

Hand Lift
Many people forget about their hands when it comes to our anti-ageing moisturizers and other self-care routines, but hands go through a lot more than our faces. Sunspots, wrinkles and dry skin can be a big giveaway when it comes to age, but luckily there are treatments which can help. Some specialists are now offering a combination of soft tissue filler or fat injection with chemical peeling to soften the skin, remove spots and smooth out wrinkles.
