Did you know that studies are showing that filters on social media are encouraging women to undergo plastic surgery? Particularly millennials. Many doctors even say that patients are showing them filtered photos during their consultations to explain what it is they are looking for.
My loves, this isn’t real! What is real is taking care of your body and your mind. However, we’ve gone through our two favorite pretty filters to show you how to achieve healthy and glowing skin!
Filter: Juno (Instagram)
What it does: Smooths out skin tone, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and brightens under the eyes.
To accomplish this look (in real life) means finding the right skincare and some possible Botox or fillers that are right for you! Everyone is different and that is why they have so many options when it comes to skincare. I know it can be overwhelming sometimes but here are some quick tips to get you started:
Start your day by washing your face with a cleanser that can help remove all the oils from sleeping and any of that makeup you didn’t take off last night. Our favorites are either ISclinical Cleansing Complex or AHA/BHA Exfoliating cleanser.
Next step is the treatment for any skincare concern if its redness for Rosacea, hyperpigmentation, acne, wrinkles I got you covered. For a serum (IS clinical) I like the drip method on your face that way nothing gets wasted on my hands. Some love rubbing the serum in their palms and then applying to warm up the serum. Whatever method you choose, just make sure you have a great product.
BBA Favorites: – ISclinical Pro-Heal- this is one of my favs for redness and acne. Active serum is another secret for treating acne. TNS Advanced serum plus OR Lumavie by Skinmedica are a few of my other amazing products for skin care. Hyperpigmentation my go to is Lytera 2.0 by SkinMedica. You come in and I help chose the most effective and simple regiment to produce amazing results( all skin care is medica grade meaning studied and proven to show results) . I must say though that TNS Advanced serum plus is a holy grail of skincare and has a cult following!
Don’t forget a medical grade eye cream such as TNS eye repair, instant bright by SkinMedica or youth eye complex by ISclinical. This is the part of that will help brighten under the eyes and say goodbye to dark circles. (tear trough filler can also help with dark circles if we already have given great check support)
Botox can also take away any unwanted lines and wrinkles all over!!
- In the morning we need to incorporate an SPF so we can protect our skin from getting wrinkles since sun worshiping is no longer a thing!!
BBA Favorites: IS Clinical Eclipse SPF 50, and SkinMedica Total defense and repair (this is also anti- aging now that’s amazing! ) - At night, do it all over again with the same products only a different treatment product which is a retinol for cellular turnover. This ensures that you are using an awesome nighttime product that will work for you while you are sleeping.
- PRO TIP: Micro needling is also a very effective method for the removal of blemishes and the evening of skin tone.
Filter: The Original Pretty Filter (Snapchat) Smooths out your face removing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also making your face appear thinner.
Amazing? NO!!! It’s not real, but we could achieve natural real lasting results together.
This is where my besties Botox and filler come into play. Botox is an FDA approved injectable used to relax muscle tissue thus smoothing out the area. Fine lines and wrinkles are natural of course but there is something we can do about them!
Using Botox, we would inject in the forehead, in the 11’s (between the brows), crow’s feet and bunny lines and much more.
Filter: Pillow Face (Tik Tok) The most specific to aesthetic treatments, Pillow Face aims to smooth the skin, plump the cheeks, and give the perfect pout. This filter targets products like Botox and Dysport to smooth lines. Fillers like Juvederm or Restylane to lift and plump the cheeks and provide the perfect pout. There is even a hint of a Botox lip flip in the way the filter enhances the lip
Long story short, filters are providing the results that you can get right in our beBold Aesthetics chair. However, it’s important we emphasize that filtered photos should not be your goal. So many decisions go into what products are going to work best. It’s not about what’s “on trend”, it’s about what is best for you.
Be Unique. Be You. beBold!
