Aesthetics By Nikki

non-surgical procedures like injections of Botox and dermal fillers accounted for 82 percent of all cosmetic procedures performed. It’s a trend that will likely continue as more of us consider anti-aging alternatives that fall between a facelift and a wrinkle cream. Our second in popularity to Botox in non-invasive anti-aging procedures, fillers add volume to the face, usually by filling in wrinkl

es and lines, and sometimes by plumping up areas of the face that have lost fat pads (such as the cheeks, under-eye area and temples), causing the skin to sink and sag. Most patients for dermal fillers and botox start treatments in their 30s, 40s or 50s, but patients range in age from their 20s (usually for lip plumping or, occasionally, filling smile lines) even up to their mid-80s.
