Innovative Cosmedical treatments provide ways to combat natural signs of aging. The Anushka Cosmedical Method uses non-invasive tools to combat these inevitable signs. We’re at constant war with our mirrors. Instead of battling the mirror, it’s time embrace the Anushka Cosmedical Method.
WE’RE AGING EVERY MINUTE
Every day, small changes contribute to very subtle alterations in our appearance. Look at a picture of yourself from a few years ago. Almost inevitably you looked different: firmer, brighter or softer. With the advent of 2013, we’re all another year older. As we continue to age more gracefully, there is a way to restore your youthful beauty of pictures past. Have you told yourself lately “It’s Time”?
THE ART OF AGING
Sometime after the age of 20, we begin to break down tissues faster than we replace them. We produce less collagen, less bone, and our fat becomes redistributed. Living life exposes us to all sorts of environmental factors that accelerate this deleterious process resulting in fine lines, sagging skin, dark spots, redness, flakiness, hollowed eyes and a sallow complexion. Without intervention, this process continues, resulting in a saggy neck, marionette lines, hanging jowls, fallen cheeks, droopy lids, an angry, furrowed brow, lifeless lips, flappy lobes, and much more. While you may not be able to battle the symptoms of aging, modern advancements in Cosmedical treatments do allow you to battle the visible signs.
THE ART OF DE-AGING
While there are many changes taking place, addressing a few issues can make a huge difference. Three major components of beauty are health of skin, addressing excessive muscle movement and returning the underlying structure to what it was in years past.
ANUSHKA BRINGS BACK YOUR BEAUTY
The Anushka Cosmedical Experience begins with a consultation involving a discussion of what has happened
over time, and what you, as the patient, are trying to achieve. For many people, any 1 or all of the following may be addressed:
SKIN
The Problem: Old sun damage, dull appearance, poor circulation, rough texture, fine creases, etc.
The Solution: PEARL laser for a gentle resurfacing, IPL for dark spots, Laser Genesis for redness or dilated capillaries, TITAN light source for sagging skin, medical-grade skin care for recurrent topical regeneration.
UPPER FACE:
FOREHEAD, EYES, & BROWS:
The Problem: Horizontal thought lines, negative 11 “angry” lines, overactive crow’s feet, hollow under-eyes, droopy brows.
The Solution: Dysport® or BOTOX® Cosmetic placed expertly to smooth lines, open eyes, and softly arch brow creates a “well-rested” appearance. Carefully placed Restylane® under eyes erase dark, hollow circles and restores the youth of years ago.
MIDFACE: CHEEKS, TEMPLES, MIDFACE
The Problem: loss of volume in the temples, fat pad loss in the face resulting in sagging cheeks, flattening face, and generalized falling skin.
The Solution: For long term, Sculptra® is the answer to replenish lost foundation. The temple area is hollow anyway and once the fat disappears, it needs to be replenished. For an immediate fix the temples can be restored with most fillers quite easily. Cheeks can be replenished nicely with a small amount of Radiesse or Perlane. The lost fat pad under the eyes is treated well with a hyaluronic acid such as Restylane.
LOWER FACE: JOWLS, NASOLABIAL
FOLDS, MARIONETTE LINES
The Problem: Loss of volume in face and loss of elasticity in skin cause sagging in the lower face, loss of fat under the skin causes the skin to take on the shape of the muscle which is grabbing onto the skin.
The Solution: Long term is rebuilding the foundation with Sculptra, which can mimic the bone, fat, and skin that has been lost to once again show the smooth appearance you were used to. Quick fix – Radiesse on the jowls to replace lost volume in the jowls will fix it immediately, as well as Perlane or Juvederm Plus to reshape the jaw and replace the definition you had a few years earlier. Finally, Venus Freeze or TITAN to the neck and jaw line wiall pull the remaining sagging skin back up to where it was a few years ago.
AVOIDING THE INVASIVE FACELIFT
Most of us are under the impression that a facelift is needed to restore time lost in our appearance. However, The signs of aging are multifactorial. Simply “lifting” will not address everything, nor is it always indicated. By addressing the losses that have occurred, you can return many of the aging features to a softer, more youthful and healthy appearance.
RESTORE YOUR LOOK AND AVOID
LOOKING “OVERDONE”
The key to returning to your own, natural look is by choosing the right provider who will recommend only what it is that you need. Many times the patient doesn’t understand what has taken place and may go in for some Botox, filler or other treatment because their friend did. Many providers are happy to give them what they want without addressing what may really be best for their needs. The difference found in the Anushka experience is an individually built program that targets specific areas, determined only according to what has been lost.
