“I haven’t done any cosmetic procedures before, I want to age gracefully”. I hear this statement often from clients yet they are sitting in my chair ready to start somewhere on an anti aging journey. I think traditionally women have lived their lives not disclosing their beauty secrets, this mind set passed on generation through generation, it seems typical that we feel we have to hide our beauty routines that help keep us looking young. Fast forward a few generations to the present where everything is shared on social media platforms including the latest and greatest beauty routines that will turn back the clock on aging. How many people use face creams and serums everyday to prevent the skin from aging, get their hair coloured or dyed to hide grey hair, or go to a gym to keep their bodies looking young and fit, these are anti aging routines that are spoken of and shared daily, but, for some reason when it comes to beauty routines that involve anti aging of the face we practically hold ourselves hostage to self made non disclosure agreements! So, does aging gracefully mean abandoning beauty routines all together or does aging gracefully mean incorporating many beauty routines and only talking about some of them?! I guess the answer to that lies within an individual. Here in the blogs we are going to talk about the different anti aging measures that fall under medical aesthetics, specifically cosmetic injections like neuromodulators (botox) and dermal fillers. These treatments have been incorporated into beauty routines over the last couple decades and more recently have become the topic of discussion everywhere. We all have a natural beauty to us. We can incorporate cosmetic injections into our beauty routines to enhance our features in a natural, refreshed looking way. Aging gracefully is not necessarily doing nothing to prevent aging it’s utilizing these treatments to work with what is already BEAUTIFUL!! Stay tuned!!
