Giving your skin some TLC will never go out of style. Actually, more skincare trends will just keep popping up every other day. And since I am all about skincare and non-surgical anti-aging trends; both natural and cosmetic, I have come across a number of trends that will not only keep your skin glowing and youthful but also shave a couple of years off.

Skincare Trends to Look Out For

Carbon Laser Facial aka the Hollywood Peel

Carbon laser facial is known as the Hollywood peel because it’s one of those non-invasive skincare trends or treatments that have zero downtime, hence why it’s loved by a number of celebrities. The treatment uses lasers and carbon cream. Basically, the very black carbon cream is applied to your face then Q-switched laser (or another type of laser) is used to cause some micro-explosions which take away a very thin layer of your skin. This leaves the underlying skin glowing and fresh. It is a lunch-hour procedure and you can go about your business immediately after the treatment. Although it’s not new in the market, carbon laser facial is in this skincare trends list just because of the results it gives; and it’s loved by Hollywood!

Microdermabrasion

This is a go-to skin care treatment for those times when you just need to give your skin a refreshing feel. It’s a quick skin fix that lets your skin feel refreshed for the next 5 to 7 days. It uses crystals that are carefully sprayed on your face to aid in peeling off the dead skin cells. A suction method is used to exfoliate and open up pores to reveal a radiant layer. Afterward, a vitamin C nourishing mask is applied, and the nutrients are easily absorbed by the skin. Finally, a facial moisturizer and caviar treatment are used, which give your beautiful skin the ultimate glow.

Hydrafacial

Of course, I have to include this because my skin is still feeling and looking amazing after I had the HydraFacial treatment a couple of days ago. What makes it one of the skincare trends to try out is because the treatment is soothing and refreshing and it feels more like pampering than a “treatment”. Hydrafcial uses a machine that has this special nozzle that cleans your face, sucks out impurities, and delivers nutrients; all at the same time. The treatment has several steps, from steaming to clearing up debris and opening up skin pores and chemical peeling to brighten up your skin tone. It takes a minimum of one hour but you will leave the doctor’s office with radiant skin. It is also used to treat different skin issues like minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, treating hyperpigmentation, or just a pick-me-up for tired and dull skin. And the best part is that HydraFacial can be used on all skin types.

Non-surgical Anti-aging Trends

Skinade Collagen Drink

Skinade Collagen Drink is simply a beauty secret in a drink because it works from the inside. Have I tried it yet? The answer is no; but as soon as I do, I will tell you all about it. So what makes it one of the non-surgical anti-aging trends to look out for? The collagen drink is made in a way to understand how the skin works as well as how internal and external factors affect the process of aging. In a nutshell, it all comes down to the benefits of hydration if you want to achieve all-around beautiful skin.

By drinking this collagen, it ensures that collagen peptides and essential micronutrients are absorbed by the body at a rate of 90-95 percent, which is more than double what tablets or powders achieve. The drink also has key nutrients that are essential in the healthy production of collagen by the body. If you plan on using this collagen drink, don’t expect results overnight. You need to drink it for at least 90 days. On the other hand, those who have used it have reported results after 30 days.

Ultherapy Non-invasive Facelift

This is an oldie but a goody and another beauty secret used by Hollywood elites like Jeniffer Aniston, Courtney Cox, and Vanessa Williams just to name a few. It is a simple facelift but without going under the knife; how cool is that? Ultherapy uses ultrasound to deliver controlled heat energy which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The result is more firm and tight skin. It tightens and lifts the brows, cheeks, jowls, chin, and décolleté. But the results of these non-surgical anti-aging trends are not immediate either. You get to see results within the next 1 – 3 months and the results continue to get better for the next 18 to 24 months. There’s no downtime or scarring after Ultherapy and you can go about your business as usual.

Biorevitalization

Although it’s not as popular as Ultherapy, it gets the work done. The other day an acquaintance of mine had the pleasure of having the treatment and three weeks later she is still talking about how her skin has changed for the better; more youthful and glowing. Biorevitalization is one of those non-surgical anti-aging trends that are a little bit underestimated. This non-surgical treatment uses unmodified and non-animal hyaluronic acid injections in very small doses which are delivered inside the dermal layer of the skin. The purpose of hyaluronic acid is for triggering the production of collagen by naturally stimulating our skin cells. It restores skin elasticity, tightness, and hydration. It is one of the best non-surgical anti-aging trends that drastically reduce pre-existing fine lines and wrinkles by slowing down cell fragmentation.

Although there are many non-surgical anti-aging trends and skincare trends in the market today, I would have to write a whole book if I have to cover a majority of them. For now, these will do. Just in case you want to try out one of these skincare trends, make sure you go to a board-certified and experienced plastic surgeon or medical aesthetician.
