6 Tips to Stay Looking Youthful and Fit from a Plastic Surgeon
Growing older is inevitable, but gracefully maintaining your youth and aging is possible and within everyone’s grasp. Now that the pandemic shutdown is happily behind us, there are some changes that remain in its wake due to the “zoom boom.” The pervasive use of zoom meetings has triggered an increase in demand for procedures that are focused on a patient's facial features. This includes a 54% increase in demand for neurotoxins (think Botox) and a 75% increase in filler treatments up from 2019.
Meet Dr. David Daniels, a plastic surgeon. Dr. David Daniels has extensive experience and training in injectable procedures. In addition to placing neurotoxins and fillers in localized areas, He performs a specialized facelift utilizing injectable fillers called the “Y-LIFT” which produces immediate facelift results without the downtime of an invasive surgical procedure. Dr. Daniels has been in private practice in Summit, NJ, for over 2 decades, and here he shares a few tips on how to stay looking young, fit, and healthy.
1. Skin care is KEY! Make sure to spend your money wisely on quality products that are medical grade. There are so many products out there that advertise benefits, so make sure to purchase products that actually do what they claim and hold your provider accountable for results.
2. Use sunblock. EVERYDAY! Protect your skin to keep wrinkles and age spots at bay. Make sure always to include your neck and decolletage area as well as your hands.
3. Start young. Begin healthy habits at an early age to minimize your need for future repairs. A plastic surgeon can fix most anything, but it will take less work and less money to prevent than repair.
4. It is well known that injections of neurotoxins (botox) and fillers can minimize wrinkles with no downtime. This is an easy “lunchtime” procedure that can wipe away lines and wrinkles. It is also advisable to begin getting neurotoxins when you first notice signs of wrinkles.
5. EmSculpt NEO. This is a groundbreaking, completely non-invasive technology that strengthens muscles and can melt fat away in a 30-minute session. EmSculpt neo simultaneously delivers stimulation and heat that serve to contract muscles in a targeted area to build muscle and sculpt the body. The EmSculpt sensors rest on your abs, glutes, arms, or thighs and contract your muscles. The equivalent of doing 20,000 squats or crunches with zero downtime or bruising.
6. EmFace. Using similar technology as EmSculpt, EmFace tightens your facial muscles and produces results akin to a facelift. Again, completely non-invasive, with no needles and no downtime.
