FUTURE OF SKINCARE & TREATMENTS
Cosmetologist Dr. Jamuna Pai reveals what she forsees in the coming years
There was a time when Botox was considered just as an anti-ageing tool. But today so much more can be done with it such as achieving a brow lift, lifting the corners of a drooping mouth, lengthening a chin, enhancing a jaw line. Not just that, we use it for reducing excessive perspiration in the underarm area too. Newer studies and research in Botox can help in reducing the open pores, lessening the fine lines under the eyes, treating and rejuvenating the skin on the neck and décolleté region. Botox also helps relieve pain, based on which studies are being carried on to use it in the calf muscles to help reduce pain for those who wear stilettos all day long.
MIRACLE CREAMS
The day won’t be far when just by using Botox creams, you may be able to keep the lines and wrinkles away. There are such creams available even today, but as the molecule is big, it does not penetrate and reach the targeted muscle to bring about the desired results. Also, creams containing potent hyaluronic acid will help with fine lines.
Dermal fillers are known to create and replace the lost volume and contours. Today, research shows that they can be injected on the scalp as well as your soles to help increase your height by a couple of inches!
LASER TECHNOLOGY
Lasers have revolutionised the market of skin care. You have different laser technologies for hair reduction, tattoo removal, skin firming, skin rejuvenation, acne scars and so on. The greatest boon has been the laser hair reduction machine. The next generation laser in combination with radio frequency can target white hair too which earlier was a challenge to work on.
Stretch marks and dark circles are two issues which many people face. I can see a lot of work being done in this field to give longer lasting solutions.
CROWNING GLORY
Hair loss is another unwelcome situation in our life.Transplants have helped. The next breakthrough in this field is that of hair culture. Once the hair is grown in an outside medium, no one will ever have to deal with hair loss.
GLOWING SKIN
Move over skin brightening creams. They have now been replaced by oral tablets as well as IV drips to bring a glow and make the skin tone even. The master antioxidant Gloutathione works wonders to brighten the skin. Though trials have been successful, more research is being conducted for the same.
