Subtle Treatments: Going for Natural-Looking Results

Several years ago, overt and drastic seemed to be the goal when undergoing cosmetic procedures. Kylie Jenner, for instance, became popular from being thin-lipped to having visibly plump and full lips, which then sparked a massive interest in lip augmentation. This also started the #KylieJennerChallenge on social media, where people used shot glasses to increase their lip sizes. 

 

Lip augmentation via fillers was not the only procedure that has been overused or overdone in the past years. Botulinum toxin, which has contributed to a frozen forehead look, was another one, as well as breast augmentation or breast enhancements that look unnatural. These trends, however, are slowly taking a backseat as many patients are opting for a naturally refreshed look.

Looking natural is always in

The goal of having natural-looking results is to make you appear fresher and energized without drastically changing your appearance. You should still look like you and great for your age, but not necessarily decades or several years younger. The focus is more on gently rejuvenating the face or softening the lines and not making you a totally different (or unrecognizable) person.

And in an effort to look more natural, many celebrities, including Blac Chyna, Courteney Cox, and Khloe Kardashian, admitted to dissolving their fillers. Doing so, however, may lead to some sagging, especially if you’ve had lots of fillers for years. This can be filled again, but this time with a smaller amount or leave it as it is, depending on your individual goals and preferences.

Subtle results with “tweakments”

Tweakments are non-surgical or minimally invasive treatments that improve or rejuvenate your appearance in a natural way. They can help you look refreshed and energized with a few minimal changes in the way you look. The effects are subtle and people may not notice that you have some work done unless you tell them.   

Tweakments can help reduce the look of lines, folds, wrinkles, volume loss, and other visible signs of aging without dramatically altering the way you look. It involves the use of smaller doses of cosmetic injectables to improve the effects of aging in a subtle or understated way, which then avoids looking overfilled, plastic, or frozen. 

Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers are the most common tweakments, but this can also include peels, lasers, microneedling, and other aesthetic treatments. Some tweakments available at Cutis include: 

  • Dermapen 4 microneedling – stimulates collagen and elastin to improve fine lines, wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and enlarged pores.
  • Laser skin rejuvenation – boosts collagen formation and addresses a range of concerns including acne scars, wrinkles, facial redness, and uneven skin texture.
  • Bio-remodeling injectable – restores hydration, improves laxity, and addresses signs of aging. It helps stimulate collagen and can improve the tone, texture, and quality of the skin.
  • HydraMaster – is a revamped HydraFacial platform that cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates, and nourishes the skin. It helps accelerate skin renewal and improves skin tone and texture.
  • Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) – stimulates collagen to improve moderate signs of facial aging, lowered eyebrow lines, slightly loose skin, and wrinkles on the decolletage.

Who’s on the other side of the needle?

Regardless of the aesthetic treatment you are considering, make sure to only see a trained and qualified practitioner. Don’t be tempted by those who offer bargains or massive discounts, as they could be using counterfeit botulinum toxin, fake dermal fillers, or knock-off devices, which can be ineffective and cause health complications.  

It is also worth noting that treating the face with injectables requires careful attention to detail. It is a whole approach wherein the injector looks at the face from all angles and assesses the quality of your skin. Good practitioners also know that the goal is not to fill every wrinkle, crease, or fold in the face, but to enhance your natural beauty.
