BY DISCOVERING THE AESTHETIC TREATMENTS
THAT ARE SET TO TAKE 2020 BY STORM.
With the UK set to rival the booming markets of Brazil, Japan, South Korea,
Germany and, of course, the USA this year, it is no surprise that Kent is fast
becoming an aesthetics hotspot for award-winning, industry-leading and innovative
aesthetics pioneers; all intent on bringing the latest technologies and superior
results-driven procedures to our doorstep. Skin Boosters:
Radiance-enhancing skincare is no longer restricted to a topical regime, thanks
to the rise in skin boosting injectables. Perfect for those looking to address aging
skin that lacks volume and elasticity, as well as addressing issues such as fine lines
and tired appearances; the treatment, unlike a dermal filler, uses a liquid
formulation of hyaluronic acid (HA) which, once injected just under the top layer
of skin, disperses evenly to instantly enhance the skin’s hydration and stimulate
the production of collagen. The result is skin that feels firmer, plumper and looks
more luminous. They are not designed to create volume or change the shape of
your face – the effect is more subtle.
Rejuvenating treatments have come a long way from paint-stripping peals,
invasive lifts and intensive exfoliation; all of which required anywhere from days
of downtime to weeks of recovery. Today a prick of a needle, an hour of machine
enhanced hydration, or a bespoke course of treatment; whether to freeze, fill,
or fat-blast; provides a spectrum of facial opportunity - to make us ready to face
the next decade. The Cooden Medical Group ( www.coodenmedicalgroup.com) explains: “The key
ingredient is hyaluronic acid – don’t be put off by the name for this is a substance
found naturally in the body. It is a magnet for water and has the ability to absorb
1,000 times its weight! Around 50% of our hyaluronic acid is produced in the
skin, where it provides hydration, structure and protection from UV damage.
But as we age, our bodies make less of it and our skin starts to look drier, less
Worth over £2bn globally, the facial aesthetics industry is booming. In fact, the
market grew by 40% in the last year alone as a host of non-surgical, instant-
results procedures have become our new go-to, in our, anti-ageing, beauty-goal,
wellness-led journeys.
