The Best Non-Invasive Anti-Aging Treatments for a Natural Look

Based on an article called A Gentler Turning Back of the Clock that came out in the Wall Street Journal this month after the Oscar’s and Golden Globes’ red carpets, one thing has become apparent in what women now desire in the outcome of their facial treatments and/or procedures.

Gone are the days that the everyday woman is longing for drastic procedures- similar to ones that celebrities receive- where she walks out looking blatantly plastic. A sentence that New York plastic surgeon Dr. Haideh Hirmand often hears from her clients is, “I want to look like myself and I’m afraid of looking different.” Good Great news is that this new wave of anti-aging treatments is all about achieving a more natural look, and less invasively.

These noninvasive procedures use ultrasound, radio-frequency waves or micro-currents with lasers and energy treatments in order to firm the skin. What these do is use heat to trick the dermis, the deeper layer of skin, into thinking it has been injured, so as a result, it pumps out more of the body’s natural collagen to compensate for this “injury”. Women are overwhelmingly pleased with the benefit of having little to no downtime after these procedures, making it easier for the busy, working woman to squeeze this into her schedule without the thought of any unpleasant recovery time.
Naomi Watts and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s facialist, Joanna Vargas, used a noninvasive, radio-frequency machine for pre-award season treatments on the women.

“You don’t want to walk into a room and have people wonder what you’ve done to your face,” said Ms. Vargas. “You want people to think you’re getting sleep or you’re glowing or happy.”

Aesthetician Kate Somerville dished that her client, 47-year-old actress Kate Walsh, is proof of the strategy behind natural enhancements. She shares that Kate “has not had one injectable, but she’s been diligent about keeping up her lasers and skin care and she is flawless for her age.” We couldn’t agree more!

Industry specialists share that it is best to start while in your 30s or 40s for maximum effectiveness, however treatments can also help women above that age as well. Women are seeing anti-aging as a daily routine now and more are adopting the long-term strategies to avoid the need for anything drastic later on.

What are the Best Non-Surgical Treatments For Smoother Skin?

There are different types of non-invasive treatments, each with a different goal. Let’s take a look at each.

Collagen Production

Some treatments stimulate collagen production to treat the root cause of aging and low volume. Collagen is a protein in the skin that gives it suppleness when you’re young. As early as your 30s, collagen can begin to fade and jumpstart the aging process. Injectable fillers that contain poly-L-lactic acid, such as Sculptra, can boost collagen production. Another popular option is microneedling, which harnesses the skin’s regenerative abilities, especially when paired with radiofrequency energy. Both options can tighten sagging skin and smooth the appearance of facial wrinkles.

Laser Treatments

Laser treatments have become extremely advanced in recent years. Not only can they resurface the skin and boost collagen, they can also fade uneven skin tone, sun damage, and age spots. Laser treatments are a great way to address acne scars and remove dead skin cells, creating a more youthful appearance from the inside out.

Skin Health Treatments

Chemical peels and skincare treatments such as the DiamondGlow Facial can give you healthy skin and a more youthful complexion with quick and easy treatments. These can be personalized to your needs, such as superficial wrinkles, acne scars, sun exposure, brown spots, dryness, texture, and more.

Dermal Fillers and Botox Injections

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers remain the champion of anti-aging treatments. These injectables can fill in vertical lip lines, minimize skin laxity, enhance facial contours, and much more. Botox injections can also smooth frown lines and other facial lines without surgery. They can even be used together for best results.
