BEAUTY TREATMENTS

Facial treatments:

Here are some of the most popular beauty treatments out there, and we tried a variety of them to see which ones lived up to the hype.

Botox:

For example, is a widely known treatment that can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In fact, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 7 million people received Botox injections in 2020 alone. Our reviewer had a great experience with Botox, noting that the treatment was quick and virtually painless. If you’re interested in trying Botox, we recommend checking out your local medspa or dermatologist for more information.

Microneedling:

This is another popular facial treatment that involves using tiny needles to puncture the skin and promote collagen production. This treatment is becoming increasingly popular, with a 2018 study published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery reporting a 100% satisfaction rate among patients who received micro needling. Our reviewer also had a positive experience with micro-needling, noting that her skin felt smoother and looked brighter after the treatment. We recommend looking for a reputable esthetician or dermatologist in your area for this treatment.

HydraFacial:

This is a newer facial treatment that has been gaining popularity in recent years. This treatment involves a series of steps that aim to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin. According to a 2019 article by Refinery29, HydraFacial is one of the most popular facial treatments among celebrities. Our reviewer enjoyed the HydraFacial, noting that her skin felt noticeably smoother and more hydrated after the treatment.

Cryotherapy

This is a facial treatment that involves exposing the skin to frigid temperatures in order to reduce inflammation and improve circulation. While this treatment is often associated with athletic recovery, it’s also becoming popular as a beauty treatment. According to a 2019 article by Glamour, cryotherapy can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Our reviewer had a unique experience with cryotherapy, noting that while the treatment was chilly, her skin did feel smoother and more refreshed afterwards. We recommend getting this treatment done at a reputable cryotherapy cent, where a professional can guide you through the process and ensure your safety.

Brow lamination:

This is a treatment that can help create a fuller, more defined look for eyebrows. This treatment involves using a chemical solution to relax the hair and then setting it in place. According to a 2020 article by Elle, brow lamination has become increasingly popular in recent years as a low-maintenance alternative to microblading. Our reviewer enjoyed the brow lamination treatment, noting that it gave her eyebrows a more polished look without any of the upkeep required for microblading. We recommend getting this treatment done at a reputable salon or spa, where a licensed esthetician can guide you through the process and ensure your safety.

Microblading:

If you’re looking for a more long-term solution for your eyebrows, microblading might be the answer. Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique that creates the illusion of fuller, more defined eyebrows. During the procedure, a technician uses a handheld tool to make small, hair-like strokes with a pigment that matches your natural eyebrow colour. According to a 2019 article by Allure, microblading has become increasingly popular in recent years, with some salons reporting up to a six-month waitlist. Our reviewer was initially sceptical about microblading, worried that the results would be too bold or fake-looking. She also found the treatment to be slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. However, after seeing the final results, she was thrilled with how natural and subtle the effect was. She also appreciated how much time and effort it saved her in her daily beauty routine. She saw an immediate improvement in their brow shape and definition. This low-maintenance brow lasts up to 18 months.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) facial:

This is a treatment that involves using a patient’s own blood to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. According to a 2021 article by Harper’s Bazaar, the PRP facial is a favourite of celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Bar Refaeli. If you’re looking for a natural way to rejuvenate your skin, a PRP facial might be worth considering. Also known as a “vampire facial,” a PRP facial involves using your blood’s plasma, which contains growth factors and healing properties, to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone.

During the procedure, a medical professional will draw a small amount of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma. They will then apply the plasma to your face using a micro-needling technique to encourage absorption into the skin.

Our reviewer was impressed with how radiant and smooth her skin looked after the procedure. She also noted that the effects seemed to last longer than traditional facials. However, it’s worth noting that the procedure can be uncomfortable, as the micro-needling can be painful, and there is some downtime as your skin heals.

If you’re interested in a PRP facial, it’s essential to find a reputable provider. Prices can vary depending on your location and provider but expect to pay between $500-$1500 for the procedure.

Keratin lash lift:

This is a treatment that can help lift and curl the lashes, giving them a more voluminous look. According to a 2019 article by PopSugar, keratin lash lifts have become increasingly popular as a low-maintenance alternative to eyelash extensions. Our reviewer enjoyed the keratin lash lift treatment, noting that her lashes looked noticeably fuller and more curled afterwards.

Lip fillers:

If you’re looking to enhance the volume or shape of your lips, lip fillers might be an option. Lip fillers are injectable treatments that use hyaluronic acid or other fillers to plump and shape the lips.

Our reviewer was initially nervous about the procedure but found the experience quick and relatively painless. She was pleased with the natural-looking results and noted that the effects lasted several months.

As with any injectable treatment, it’s essential to find a reputable provider and be aware of the potential risks and side effects. Some popular lip filler brands include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero. Prices can vary but expect to pay between $500-$1000 for the initial treatment.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the world of beauty treatments is constantly evolving, with new and innovative options becoming available all the time. From these nine beauty treatments, there’s no shortage of buzz-worthy treatments to try. However, it’s essential to approach these treatments with caution, do your research, and find reputable providers. As our reviewer discovered, some treatments may be more effective or better suited to your needs than others. Ultimately, the key is to find what works best for you and your beauty goals.

Overall, we highly recommend all of these treatments to anyone looking to improve their overall appearance and well-being. However, it is important to consult a licensed and experienced practitioner to determine if these treatments are right for you. With the right guidance and care, these treatments can offer significant and long-lasting results that will leave you feeling confident and beautiful.
