After 25, many of us notice that the skin loses its elasticity, and the first wrinkles appear on the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth. This is despite a healthy lifestyle and the use of expensive cosmetics that promises miracles of transformation. But Hollywood divas, who are more than 40 years old, – Demi Moore, Jennifer Aniston, or Courtney Cox – look as youthful and fresh as ten or fifteen years ago. Do they know the secret of eternal youth?
Of course, the stars state on the pages of magazines that it’s all about liters of water they consume nonstop, balanced nutrition and sports, but it seems hard to believe, especially if you imagine the stress their skin goes through every day because of the thick makeup, which is applied and washed off several times per day, dewatering spotlights, constant flights, and the necessity to work in different climatic conditions… And well, even if you are lucky with genetics, what about those who are less supported by Mother Nature?
It goes that more and more foreign stars resort to the so-called “beauty injections”, including dermal fillers that can restore the lost volume and improve skin texture. How does this happen?
Remember what your face was like at 16 years. Elastic skin, sharp contours – it looked like the “V” letter. But over the years the proportions change, and the amount of soft tissue is reduced. The cheeks get saggy, the chin loses its elasticity, the jaw line begins to sag, and the face gets wider in its lower part – the “V” letter seems to be turned upside down. By the way, something like that happens with the hands, which also are marked by traces of time. With the thinning of subcutaneous fat, veins and bones on the back of the hand become more visible, and, as a result, we look much older than we feel. Alas!
But science does not stand still, and aesthetic medicine offers ever more sophisticated ways of dealing with the first signs of aging. One of them is volumizers, providing the double lifting effect: after the injection, the gel-based medication, which contains microspheres of the active substance, fills the defects and provides a snapshot result in correcting wrinkles.
In general, it turns out that “V” really means “victory”, but with a modern twist. It means a victory over the age that women around the world are at merciless war with.
