It is so easy to jump on the anti-aging bandwagon these days. Of all the trends that rise and fall through the times, looking youthful will always remain at the top of the pecking order, and be a constant that will never be phased out.
This is something the beauty industry is fully aware of. With a huge cash cow like that waiting to be milked, there naturally is no lack of financially-motivated establishments waiting to make a quick buck or three out of it.
Beauty treatments that promise “immediate results”, and “100% organic ingredients” or are “cheapest in the market for a limited time only” are a dime a dozen and might not be as effective as advertised.
It is therefore absolutely vital for you to be able to sieve through the very populated market and know what kind of treatments really turn back the clock, instead of just draining your wallet.

Leaving Your Skin In the Right Hands

With the abundance of beauty spas and salons offering up more than a handful of treatments, it is very easy to let the competitive pricing dictate your buying decision.

FDA approved procedures like the Trinity Facelift have been touted as the “crown jewel” of facelift procedures.
This non-invasive face-pampering super-package combines a facelift via collagen rejuvenation (Ulthera), and skin tightening and smoothening (Thermage) for that healthy radiant glow. Definitely safe, skin-friendly…sans scalpel and side effects!
Another worthy mention of a treatment that digs deeper that falls into the ‘out of the box’ category is known as the Youth Savant.

Reparation and replacement of aging DNA automatically eradicates any form of skin ailment you may be afflicted with – plain and simple.
