The Asian Face & Aging

Despite not wanting to stereotype Asians as a race that doesn’t seem to age – there is however, some truth in that statement. Asians, especially women conceal their age very well in comparison to other races.

Asians do age but the aging process is somewhat slower than their counterpart. The indicators and markers (such as heavy wrinkles and brown spots on the skin) are not so apparent.

Asians especially those from East Asia are particularly attuned to having a face with a smooth texture. But this could also stem from societal behavior and habits. Some Asian societies, such as those in Korea and Japan tend to spend a small fortune to take care of their skin. They have learnt from a very young age the importance of facial appearance.

Most Asian women combat the signs of aging early – just like the saying: prevention is better than cure. Thankfully there are numerous anti-aging preventive steps that are cost effective as well as non-invasive.

An anti-wrinkle injection is a form of non-invasive facelift. It can be used to reduce and erase frown lines, crow’s feet and other wrinkles.

A natural substance is injected in very small and safe doses directly into the muscle that controls the wrinkle. The muscle activity is blocked and as a result, a refreshed look is achieved.

Although the serum needs to be injected every 3 – 6 months, the benefits increase with each treatment, so the number of treatments required will lessens over time. And in most cases the effects can last up to six to eight months. This treatment is very safe – which is why it can be repeated indefinitely.

Other Non-Invasive Treatments

Chemical peel is another treatment used to rejuvenate the skin by hastening the skin renewal process. The skin on our face is constantly being renewed by the fresh skin underneath replacing the dull damaged skin on the surface.

In contrast to the natural process of skin renewal, a skin peel creates an even, controlled shedding of several layers of damaged cells. The result is a new layer with more even tone, color and smoother surface.

Another non-invasive treatment is microdermabrasion to improve a dull skin texture. Microdermabrasion gently rubs off the very top layer of top skin; polishing and reducing fine lines on the forehead and around the mouth.

Korea for the Best Treatment

There are many advantages that come with a non-invasive facelift - is has no complications, does not require downtime and produces minimal discomfort. Getting the best treatment can help you maintain that fresh and vital look.

Korean plastic surgery clinics are renowned as the best in Asia. Those that sport über modern medical facilities are normally equipped with the latest gadgetry that would appease anyone looking for an invigorated and refreshed look.
