Non-invasive beauty procedures for a Red Carpet look.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

With Red Carpet season upon us, what better time to take a cue from your favourite celebrities and rejuvenate your look? Dr. Ashlin Alexander, MD, FRCSC, facial cosmetic surgeon with\u00a0Ashlin Alexander Facial Cosmetic Surgery<\/a><\/span>, shares his top five tips on how to make sure you\u2019re Red-Carpet ready fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Look Fresher with Facial Rejuvenation:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cInjectables continue to be a celebrity mainstay when it comes to looking red-carpet ready: Conservative treatment of the key aging areas (forehead, crow\u2019s feet, laugh lines) can revitalize a tired-looking face.\u201d An\u00a0over-done<\/a><\/span>\u00a0face can be scary, so make sure you are comfortable with your doctor and have\u00a0realistic expectations<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for your results. According to Dr. Alexander\u00a0hyaluronic acid<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>fillers are the safest injectable<\/span> filler material available on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Strengthen Your Skin Care Regimen:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cOver-the-counter skin care products may be fine for some people, but if you\u2019re preparing for a\u00a0special event<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and want to look your best consider switching to a medical grade skin care line that includes 1 per cent Retinol. Retinol, which stimulates collagen and elastin production, will allow your skin to appear plumper as it smoothes out fine-lines and wrinkles over time. You won\u2019t need to be as heavy-handed with your foundation, and your skin will emanate a more luminous quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Exfoliate with a Resurfacing Peel:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cSkin peels<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>work by using naturally occurring substances to produce a controlled and accelerated exfoliation of the skin, which stimulates new collagen formation and increased dermal volume.\u201d Being peel-savvy is definitely important before you go out to make your appointment\u2014certain acids are more effective than others depending on your skin concerns. Exfoliation is a huge part of maintaining healthy skin, so don\u2019t forget to do your due diligence at home, too. \u201cRedness is common post-peel, so perform 10-14 days prior to your big event to ensure you\u2019re camera-ready in time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Banish Eye Bags with Neotensil:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cThe only permanent treatment to rid of under eye bags is a blepharoplasty or surgical eyelift, however new topical products like Neotensil, provide impressive temporary results. Referred to as \u2018shape wear for the under-eye area,\u2019 applying a thin layer of product before your big event smoothes bulging skin and diminishes the look of lines and wrinkles.\u201d The Living Proof Neotensil Daily Under-Eye Reshaping Procedure ($500, available through medical offices) is a two-step film that compresses the under-eye bag and smoothes fine lines when applied with the Neotensil Reshaping Tool. The film acts as a temporary eye corset allowing for better skin texture and smoother makeup coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Try out Lip Injections:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cWith no downtime and immediate results, lip injections are a long-standing secret of the stars and a pre-event staple.\u201d Lip injections have come a long way to looking very natural, and when they are tastefully done the results can really enhance your beautiful smile. Plus, you can show off this season\u2019s hottest lip shades with a newfound confidence! Dr. Alexander recommends Juvederm\u2019s Volbella, which produces results that can last up to a year (cost per syringe around $700 to $800) and also has very little swelling after injection.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
