Will Aesthetic Procedures Make Me Look Unnatural?
If you’re ready to say goodbye to the fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin aging brings, aesthetic treatments can reverse the hands of time and restore your youthful appearance. But at Chrysolite Aesthetics in Houston, Texas, many of our clients worry about looking like they’ve had “work done” after aesthetic procedures.
Board-certified internal medicine physician and aesthetics specialist, Rawan Abu-Zeitoon, MD, and the rest of our care team understand your concerns. We know you want results that leave you looking natural, healthy, and ageless — not unnatural or overly done.
We have good news: Not only are natural-looking results possible, but it’s also what you should expect when you get aesthetic treatments from an experienced aesthetics team.
With our expertise, you can achieve your aesthetic goals and attain a naturally younger-looking appearance — no surgery required! Here are our top tips for making sure this happens:
1. Choose experienced aesthetic providers
Everyone loves a bargain, but choosing who does your aesthetic procedures based on price alone could be a recipe for disaster. To make sure you get the best results, take time to look for experienced aesthetic providers.
Many aesthetic providers use the same injectables and treatments, but the results they achieve rely heavily on their experience and technique. In other words, just because they offer the same treatment doesn’t mean you’ll get the same results.
Your comfort and confidence in your providers are key, so don’t be shy and interview potential providers, and be sure to ask your friends and family for any first-hand recommendations. You’ll also want to read reviews and look at any before-and-after photos.
When you talk to a potential provider, don’t be afraid to ask questions or raise any concerns you have about the procedure. You want a provider who listens to you and takes time to address your questions without rushing or getting annoyed.
Your provider should explain any procedures you’re considering in detail and give you an idea about the results you can realistically expect, any side effects or possible complications, and discuss whether you’re a candidate after reviewing your medical history.
2. Combine treatments for best results
If you want to look naturally younger, it’s important to consider the overall effect of your aesthetic treatments. For example, even the best surgical facelift can fall short if it’s paired with saggy, crepey neck skin.
It’s important to start slow and choose one area to focus on, like the laugh lines around your mouth. See how the results match your expectations, and be open to recommendations for additional therapies that can help you achieve your goals.
Some of the most popular aesthetic treatments that deliver natural-looking results include:
- PRP therapy and a Vampire Facelift®
- Dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid for volume
- PDO thread lifts to tighten saggy skin
- Botox® and other neuromodulators to minimize lines and wrinkles
- Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling to improve skin elasticity and tone
- Body and under chin contouring for an improved silhouette
- Facials to boost skin health and give you a natural glow
- Nonsurgical eyebrow and neck lift to restore a youthful appearance
Many other treatments exist that can give you a naturally younger-looking appearance without the need for incisions or surgery. Talk to your Chrysolite Aesthetics provider about which treatments can help you achieve your goals.
3. Follow all pre- and post-procedure instructions
At Chrysolite Aesthetics, our providers review any pre- and post-procedure instructions carefully to ensure you get the best results possible. If you want natural-looking results, be sure to follow them all carefully.
Each procedure has its own instructions and precautions, but many include avoiding medications and supplements that affect bleeding and bruising, like ibuprofen, vitamin E, St. John’s Wort, and ginkgo biloba.
You’ll also want to take care of your skin between and after your therapies. Dr. Abu-Zeitoon can recommend a medical-grade moisturizer to keep your skin healthy longer, and be sure to eat for younger-looking skin by loading up on fresh veggies and fruits and avoiding processed foods.
Since the sun causes photoaging (the most of the visible signs of aging), you’ll want to be sure to wear sunscreen or a moisturizer with SPF protection every day. Talk to your provider for specific advice about sun protection.
