Ezine Articles - Who Wants to Look 5 to 10 Years Younger Without Plastic Surgery?

What would you give to look 5 to 10 years younger, without plastic surgery and with no down time?  Now you can with a combination of treatments offered at a MedSpa.  Today’s laser technology is vastly superior to what you may recall being available as little as 5 years ago. Using a combination of lasers and dermal fillers, your face will look younger and more radiant in a period of about 6 months.  And best of all, no one has to know but you!  Your appearance gradually improves over the 6 month period, with a minimal time commitment from you of about 6 or 7 one-hour treatment sessions over the 6-month period.  How do I know?  Because I did it.  People that don’t know me now estimate my age to be 10 years younger than I am, which is 57.  Do I like it when people think I’m 47?  You bet I do!  And the 10 years that I have taken off my appearance will stay off, assuming I do maintenance sessions once or twice a year.

So what treatments have I had done?  Well, everyone’s skin is different, so the treatments may vary slightly.  In my case I had a series of laser Skin Rejuvenation treatments, also known as IPL-FotoFacials.  I love the beach, so I had quite a bit of skin discoloration, sometimes called age spots.  The Skin Rejuvenation treatments removed the discoloration.  And there was a bonus!  In the process of getting rid of the skin discoloration, the laser tightened my pores thereby improving my skin texture dramatically.  These laser treatments were done once every 3 to 4 weeks, for a total of 5 treatments.  During this same time period of 5 to 6 months I had dermal fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane put in the lines from my nose to the corners of my mouth, as well as in my hands.  I also had Botox injected to smooth out my crow’s feet.  Voila!  Ten years younger!  And at a fraction of the cost of plastic surgery, with no down time. 

After the first couple of treatments the folks in my office would approach me and ask if I had changed my hair style, or lost weight.  They knew I looked better, but they couldn’t put their finger on the reason why.  Just the reaction I was looking for!  Now I can’t imagine letting myself go back to the way I used to look.  My skin has a healthy glow, even without make-up!  Obviously these treatments work just as well for men as for women.

If you are interested in looking 5 to 10 years younger with no down time, make sure you do your homework.  Not all lasers are created equal, and more importantly, not all Cosmetic Laser Specialists are created equal.  My Cosmetic Laser Specialist has been in the business a long time, and seen the evolvement of lasers.  She believes that Syneron has the Cadillac of lasers to treat skin discoloration.  Based on the results of my treatments at Vitalia MedSpa, I do too!
