There are many surgical and even more non-surgical ways, on how to look younger. Plastic surgery, or cosmetic surgery has its upside and downside.
Surgery, even a mini facelift, can cost a great deal of money, involves pain, bandages, bruising, and discomfort for the patient. And although negligible with the proper surgeon, there’s always the risk involved.
The good news is that your facelift is almost instant. You can look many years’ younger just days of leaving the hospital, and you might look younger for quite a few years after the procedure, before having more nips and tucks to restore the results close to the original facelift.
How to look younger with a non invasive face lift is up to the patient. This is because there are many non invasive face lift methods that don’t entail any scars, scalpel or surgeon. In other words, performing your own non-surgical face lift.
The origin of the non invasive face lift stems from ancient times when royalty and the elite used to have facials conducted by servants. This meant that the face and neck were massaged with certain oils and ointments. Over a period of time these women looked years younger than their age because of the effect of the stimulation of the skin and underlying muscles.
This was the beginning of the face cream revolution of today, for both sexes, on their quest on how to look younger. Face masks, anti-wrinkle creams, and vitamin creams are now the order of the day as a form of non invasive face lift.
And it was the beginning of the non invasive face lift revolution that branched into thermage, micro-current stimulation, and laser face lift treatment.
Most non invasive face lift methods involve another person e.g. Facials at the beauty salon, Botox injections, laser or thermage technicians etc. And these procedures will cost you money, but nowhere near the cost of cosmetic surgery.
How to look younger with facial exercises goes back to its roots in ancient China where the emperor or empress were treated to a system of facial massage. Today, it still costs nothing, but can be conducted with one’s own fingertips, and can be performed anywhere e.g. at the office, in your living room, in front of the TV, at the bus stop, in traffic etc.
Benefits can also include improved circulation, certain organs will function better, and you might find that you’re more relaxed than before you started your non invasive face lift regimen.
So the quest for the elixir of life on how to look younger might be over. A non invasive face lift could be a wise choice, albeit not so instant as cosmetic surgery. A non invasive face lift is more permanent, cost-effective, and healthier for the skin.
