We often see before-and-after photos that highlight instant transformations, but what about the long game? Aging gracefully isn't just about quick fixes; it's about consistent care and small "tweakments" over time. Today, I’m sharing my personal 18-year journey of proactive aging and the steps I’ve taken to maintain my skin, face shape, and overall glow.
Toxin Treatments
Over the years, I’ve strategically used neurotoxin injections to relax muscles and prevent deep lines from forming. My treatment areas include:
-
Forehead: To soften horizontal lines and prevent deep creases.
-
Frown Lines: Keeping those “11” lines at bay.
-
Crow's Feet: Maintaining a rested, bright-eyed appearance.
-
Upper Lip: Addressing lip lines and achieving a subtle lip lift.
-
DAOs (Depressor Anguli Oris): Preventing a downward pull on the corners of my mouth and minimizing jowls.
-
Chin: Reducing dimpling, improving texture, minimizing the mental crease.
-
Jawline: Enhancing contour and preventing sagging.
-
Platysma Bands + Neck Skin: Smoothing the neck area and minimizing banding.
-
Masseters: Slimming the lower face and alleviating jaw tension.
-
Trapezius: Minimizing tension, while achieving a more elegant neck and shoulder line.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Filler
Strategically placed dermal fillers have helped me maintain a youthful face shape, while providing volume and contour in key areas:
-
Temples: Restoring lost volume for a balanced profile.
-
Midface & Cheeks: Providing lift and youthful contour, while supporting the under eye area.
-
Nasolabial Folds: Softening smile lines for a natural look.
-
Chin Shadows: Enhancing jawline definition and reducing hollowing.
-
Lips: Minimizing signs of aging with gentle hydration.
-
Jawline: Sculpting for a more defined profile.
Biostimulators
Biostimulatory treatments have played a crucial role in stimulating collagen production and maintaining my skin elasticity:
-
Sculptra (Temples + Lateral Face): Enhancing volume and improving skin quality over time.
-
Radiesse (Neck Skin Tightening): Addressing laxity and improving texture.
-
PRF Under Eyes: Boosting collagen and plumping skin for a tighter, brighter, refreshed look.
-
PDO Thread Lifts: Providing subtle lift and contour, counteracting the pull of gravity.
-
Smooth Threads: Improving skin texture and fine lines through collagen boosting.
Skincare + Skin Health Routine
Our line of medical-grade skincare has been a cornerstone of my proactive aging journey along with key treatments to maintain my skin health:
-
PRFCTSKIN lineup: My go-to for maintaining a healthy glow on the daily: Perfect Change Serum, The One Serum, Advanced X6, and Dew.
-
Peels: Jessner, VI Peel, and Perfect 10 Peel for exfoliation and radiance.
-
Microneedling: Standard and RF microneedling with skin boosters like Exosomes and PRF.
-
CO2 Laser: For deeper resurfacing and rejuvenation.
-
Sun Protection: A non-negotiable since the age of 29.
No Surgery Needed
I have never had any plastic surgery (although I’m not opposed to it someday). The power of consistent non-invasive treatments over time should not be underestimated!
Aesthetic Extras
Looking good isn’t just about the face—self-care extras help complete the look:
-
Latisse Lash Serum: For fuller, longer lashes.
-
GelX Nails & Lash Extensions: A polished, put-together appearance.
-
Hair Highlights & Spray Tan: Enhancing my natural features with subtle touches.
Why I’m Sharing This
Why not be transparent about what it takes to proactively age? There’s no shame in taking care of yourself, and it’s time to normalize loving and celebrating the effort we put into looking and feeling our best. Who really believes it when someone says they “don’t do much”? Let’s be honest, support one another, and embrace proactive aging with confidence!
Proactive aging isn’t about vanity; it’s about self-care, empowerment, and feeling great in your skin. If you're on this journey too, remember—consistency is key, and every little step truly adds up over time!
