3 New Ways To Look Immortal This 2018 -

You don’t need to undergo the controversial, utterly confusing “Vampire Facial” to look as immortal as the facial’s results suggest.

(For those of you who missed out on the news, a ‘Vampire Facial’ makes use of PRP or platelet-rich plasma that stimulates cell-turnover. If you must know, PRP is the serum portion of the blood, making it vibrant red in color—thus the name ‘Vampire Facial’)


Just recently, studies have shown that these 3 skin procedures are the new go-to’s in terms of erasing 10 years off your face in as easy as 1-2-3. Now, while we are all for the endless possibilities of plastic surgery, these 3 non-invasive procedures will do for now. 

Microneedling

After seeing Korina Sanchez-Roxas’ more youthful glow and after finding out that ‘microneedling’ is one of the result’s main culprits, we decided to immediately jump into the bandwagon and convince you to do the same.

With the sudden boom of the ‘dermaroller’ last 2017 (a contraption which contains hundreds of tiny needles), it seems as though more and more people are seeing the massive positive effects of microneedling on the skin. As defined by dermatologists, microneedling is a non-invasive procedure which involves the creation of multiple microscopic channels deep within the dermis of the skin, which then thickens and tightens the skin, as well as stimulates collagen production. Microneedling also helps with the faster absorption and penetration of different solutions like hyaluronic acid.

Topical Fillers

If needles give you massive anxiety, look no further. Recently, the beauty industry has been coming up with multiple alternatives to help you save face…literally.

Topical fillers deliver the same collagen-boosting, fine line-reducing effects as regular injectable fillers, minus the ouch. Thanks to more potent, super-high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, multiple brands have been able to create topical solutions for fine lines and wrinkles. Here are some to add to your already-full counter:

Skinmedica HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator


Dior Capture Youth Plump Filler Age-Delay Plumping Serum

Demarche Labs Fullfill Hyaluronic Acid Topical Wrinkle Filler

Placental Stem Cells

…because what better way to look younger than to smear the very substance that kept you alive as a fetus in your mother’s womb?

Recently, scientists have been exploring the use of placental stem cells as messengers that encourage the recharging of old and lazy skin cells. Initially, Placental stem cells were used to heal major bodily injuries. Yet as expected, the beauty industry caught on and decided that it is also a perfect anti-aging solution. While injectable variants are a given, topical options are now readily available as well.

Some examples of Placental stem cells in the market are sheep placenta, purified human umbilical cord cells, human stem cells, and plant-derived stem cells found in multiple serums on the market.

If you want the most natural-looking results, this is the way to go.
