Beauty and wellness trends change as advances in technology influence the ways that we can look younger and stay healthier for longer.
Because of this, experts in the field of aesthetic medicine and wellness gather every year at the prestigious Aesthetic & Anti-ageing Medicine World Congress (AMWC) to share their insights.
Aesthetic medicine is an umbrella term for specialities in medicine that focus on improving cosmetic appearance. This includes the treatment of conditions such as skin laxity, scars, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, unwanted hair and so on.
Here are the top five biggest global trends for 2018 (in no particular order):
The Natural Look Is In
Sorry, but frozen foreheads and giant collagen lips are out.
The new look that everyone is after is one that looks so natural that nobody would ever guess you’ve undergone an aesthetic treatment to get it.
Up to 85% of people seeking aesthetic improvement are now requesting an improved version of themselves, rather than a complete overhaul.
The experts at Skin Renewal are ahead of the game when it comes to aesthetics treatments. If you’re pro-active regarding a few non-invasive procedures here and there, usually involving injectibles, you’ll be less likely to want to go under the knife in future.
You can view all of the injectable solutions available, performed by their doctors, here.
More Really Is More
While the results you can achieve with a single aesthetic treatment are good, when they’re used in a clever combination, they can amplify the other’s effects and deliver a superior result.
This makes sense if you think about it. One drastic procedure might give immediate results, but a careful series of less invasive procedures will give you longer-lasting and more natural-looking results.
Endermologie, radiofrequency treatments like VelaShape, and carboxytherapy for lymphatic drainage can all make a visible difference, but when used together, their effects are enhanced in a way that’s clearly superior.
There are a number of Fat, Cellulite & Tightening Solutions available at Body Renewal.
Don’t Leave It Too Late
Whereas in the past, anti-ageing or rejuvenation treatments were the domain of the elderly, now more and more people are getting ahead of the clock so as to look younger for longer.
Starting treatments earlier means that your younger skin is more receptive to treatments that improve your skin’s firmness. Collagen, the substance that gives your skin it’s ‘spring’ and volume, can’t be added topically, and any skincare products that contain it are using it as a hydrator.
The only way to improve your body’s collagen supply is to encourage it to make more of its own, and this is where Skin Renewal can help.
They offer a multitude of Skin Rejuvenation and Body Rejuvenation solutions specifically designed to help increase collagen production, which are suitable for patients of any age.
Hold Onto Your Hair
While we often associate hair loss with ageing in men, women also experience it, especially between the ages of 35 and 55.
Hair loss is, in fact, fast becoming such a feminine concern that now, at some point, it will affect up to 60% of all women.
There are a number of factors that could cause hair loss, from fluctuation in hormones to more serious health conditions and genetics.
Regardless of what’s causing your hair to thin, you’ll be glad to know that Health Renewal can help you improve, if not completely reverse, the situation.
Following a diagnostic session to determine the cause of your hair loss, they’ll find a treatment plan that works best for you.
Spend More Time At Club Duvet With DJ Pillow
The benefits of a good night’s sleep extend to your skin, body and overall wellbeing. Recent studies have now proven that a lack of sleep doesn’t just cause premature ageing (so beauty sleep should be taken seriously!), but can also pave the path to illness.
If we don’t get enough sleep, this raises our cortisol level, also known as ‘the stress hormone’. If you have too much cortisol in your blood, it can degrade your collagen, slow down healing time and cause weight gain, particularly around your mid-section.
None of that sounds fun, but it’s not always as easy as just going to bed on time. Luckily, Sleep Renewal can help you figure out what’s keeping you up at night through a home-based sleep study. Or, if you live in Johannesburg, spend a night in their Morningside overnight Sleep Clinic. Let them find a way to help you get that necessary shut-eye.
