Facelifts

As much as women and men do not like to admit this, wrinkles and sagging skin are evident. How we respond to those concerns, varies. Intentionally seeking out the alternatives and sadly, some are not the wisest of decisions. 

Acupuncture Specialist, Musso, explains to us that certain areas of the face are linked to the bodies internal organs. "Sagging skin can be caused by weakness in the spleen and circles under the eye is often linked to liver or stomach weakness. Meaning over the years that we have damaged the internal organs and that is now reflecting on our outward appearance. From what you eat to what you drink can reflect how you look. Beginning to believe the facebook post that floats around..... "You are what you eat".....Musso says treatments cost between $175 and $300, and last about an hour. Painless per say, it is acupuncture. Not quite my style, and not a believer in this process. Many of you will agree with the organs affects, gives off to our weak, and sagging skin. 

Women have a tendency to be more dramatic about their appearances. Some will go to great lengths! For instance, the mini-facelift. This is only a tip to the eye... Literally! Majority of patients seeking mini facelift are aged 50 to 60. But regardless of the age, most patients start to ponder on a mini facelift once they notice that their facial contours or jawline is not defined as it used to be, or if their neck starts to show some wrinkles or fullness. While fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are utilized in this procedure. Having a product injected into face is what some women believe to be the only way to gain their youth. Simply prosperous! However, I said great lengths! 

Our face, hands, arms & legs are exposed more often than not. From women wearing dresses to men wearing shorts. Our skin tells others about us. Whether we workout, stay fit, or whether we are a house mom, to a Nurses Aide. 

Daily ads for better skin are all over the TV, and Internet. You can pick from Loreal to Oil of Olay. Trying every product over the counter. Thousands of dollars spent. We still see no progress on our youthful look. Seeking out the industry in Network Marketing, shows improved, promising signs. Each company from Avon to MaryKay. 

Skincare now has a name and a face..... One that does not require injections or needles of any form. Stay tuned for more.
