Don’t smile to prevent wrinkles.
Sleep on your back for an overnight facelift.
Defy gravity by standing on your head.
Been there done that? Or heard it all before, laughed and still think there’s no anti-aging quick fix? Whatever your position, there’s truth in it all. Yes, we’re going to age eventually and no, there’s no such thing as the fountain of youth. But, there are preventative measures you can take to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy, supple and firm, like drinking eight glasses of water a day, eating a well-balanced diet, exercising regularly, wearing sunscreen daily, not smoking and investing in your skin with quality products like the Tria Age-Defying Laser.
Unique from serums, lotions, and creams that are topically applied to your epidermis (the outer layer of your skin), lasers target the deeper layers of your face—your dermis. Their safe-to-use, teeny tiny beams of light penetrate your skin and stimulate natural cellular renewal to initiate collagen production. And we all want extra collagen. Collagen is what keeps our skin youthful and plump. It helps reduce crow’s feet and wrinkles and eliminates fine lines. And while lasers were once solely accessible as a double-digit service at doctors’ offices and spas for weekly appointments, they’re now an easy-to-use DIY item.
All you have to do is wash and dry your face, turn the laser on and swipe it’s warm beam across your entire face for five to 10 minutes each day. You don’t need to wear protective goggles and it’s safe to use around your eye area. Once you’re finished the laser treatment, apply your favourite serum and lotion or cream and you’re done. Then, in two weeks take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror. Like what you see? Tack on another six weeks of daily lasering and we bet you won’t be standing on your head outside of yoga class anymore.
Tria Age-Defying Laser is $569, available at www.triabeauty.ca and at Sephora stores across Canada.
