7 Anti-Aging Trends Everybody Needs to Know in 2019
The search for the fountain of youth is ongoing. Consumers prefer non-invasive procedures that are fast-acting, minimally invasive and affordable. Results count.
1. Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are as popular as ever, used to fill in folds under the skin. There are synthetic and natural fillers. One of the reasons these treatments are so popular is because they provide immediate results, making wrinkles and fine lines a thing of the past.
While collagen was once used as the “Go-To” dermal filler of choice, hyaluronic acid has gained in popularity since it is believed that there may be permanent anti-aging results from the resulting collagen growth associated with it. Choice reports that even though synthetic fillers are applauded as longer lasting, there have been some problems with it coagulating under the skin and forming lumps that have to be removed surgically.
2. Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy has shown promising results in the fight against aging. When you age, the number of stem cells decreases. Based on a logical assumption that there is a connection between the number of stem cells present in your body and signs of aging, a study was conducted at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
In the first 2 trials, it became apparent there were no negative side effects and that people described the results as exciting. The future does indeed look bright for this type of therapy.

3. Oxygen Facials
A non-invasive therapy that many celebrities swear by is an oxygen facial. One of the reasons this therapy is heralded as a lifesaver is because the results are immediate. Don’t let the word facial fool you though since this procedure is a bit more clinical than your average spa treatment. Slice reports that the way it works is that a compression machine forces oxygen and other skincare products into the skin using a pressurized burst of air. In addition to oxygen, hyaluronic acid, botanicals, and vitamin treatments are also forced into the skin.
Granted, the procedure is not as relaxing as a lot of your spa facials are. Considering the speed of the results, oxygen facials are the perfect answer for a person who does not want to go under the knife.
4. CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting offers a safe way to get rid of unsightly lumps and bumps from those fatty deposits that collect as love handles, a double chin or on your thighs. This procedure is FDA-approved and uses a cooling technique that freezes the fat cells in your body, eliminating them forever. What is so exciting about the results is that they last.
People who diet and exercise often find that they still can’t eliminate certain unattractive bulges. That’s why they are turning to other solutions. This non-surgical answer is a safe and relatively inexpensive alternative to more drastic options like liposuction. WIth little or no downtime, it is hard to criticize this cosmetic procedure that promises to make you love your body again.
A licensed professional administers the treatment to ensure that consumers receive the best care available. Safety measures are engineered into the design with sensors that detect if the temperatures are causing the skin temperature to go too low. In the event the skin gets too cold, the system will automatically shut down.
5. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Collagen is associated with youthful skin. This treatment employs light energy as a way of heating up the dermis and epidermis to stimulate the production of collagen. Expected results are improved skin texture and discolouration. It can take months to see the full impact of the results. Consumers usually set up three to six treatments to achieve the desired effect.
Like so many cosmetic procedures, IPL is considered an ongoing effort with maintenance treatments throughout the year. While this procedure is not known for eliminating wrinkles, it is expected to tighten the skin. At a cost of $150 to $400 per session, IPL is an excellent substitute for surgery and can take a few years off your face at an affordable price.
6. Liquid Facelift
This non-surgical liquid facelift is touted as a way to enhance the jawline, chin, and cheeks. The trend is to define features without looking like you’ve had too much work done. Dermal fillers are used to produce a new chiselled you, injected into your face as a way to create different angles and a more youthful appearance. Glam reports that the results are expected to last for as long as two years.
This type of procedure is an improved version of the traditional facelift, without as many negative side effects. The new needle used has a blunt tip so it doesn’t damage blood vessels and cause bruising. This new needle is called a microcannula and it also keeps the swelling down too. The downtime is minimal.
7. Emsculpt
Emsculpt offers a new approach to body sculpting. As a permanent fix, it is not surprising that people are excited about this non-invasive new way to get the body they want without downtime or the need for more treatments. One of the differences between most body shaping treatments and Emsulpt is that Emsculpt targets muscles in addition to fat cells.
This procedure is based on the use of electromagnetic energy to cause contractions. This type of muscle workout of about 20,000 contractions per 30-minute period is impossible in a regular exercise session. The typical recommendation is to schedule four 30-minute treatments. Even though the treatments are expensive, totalling $3000 to $4000, that is considered an affordable price for the permanent results achieved.
Conclusion
There are many options available for people interested in looking at their best. Exciting new treatments ensure that consumers have a variety of choices when it is time to make some changes. Cost, downtime, side effects, discomfort and results make choosing the best treatments much easier.
