While in Japan the centuries-old Kobido technique has not lost its lustera sequence of frictions, vibrations and pressures that uses very pure silk cocoons to ensure an immediate lifting effect on the oval. Where you go, rituals of well-being and beauty you find. And which, in the days before the holidays, are essential. Arriving in shape at the last weeks of the year, on the other hand, is a goal that knows no latitude. Here are the best last minute beauty treatments.
Pre-Christmas anti-tiredness beauty treatments
If there are only a few hours to recover your nail polish, you have to rely on everything that is express and fast. And that ensures visible results immediately.
Among the beauty treatments to do at home, concentrated masks are an excellent ally. Anti-aging formulas should preferably be applied before going to bed. Massage the excess serum with your fingertips all over your face until completely absorbed. During the day, before going out, opt for the version with vitamin C and peptideswhich makes the skin radiant.
Another time saving booster? The concentrated vials. Those with a smoothing effect they can be used as a make-up base for holidays. Just like i patch around the eyes and lips which smooth out microwrinkles, ensuring a lifting and anti-aging effect in 15/20 minutes.
Beauty treatments in the salon, from radiofrequency to oxygen
In the hours before the Christmas marathon, book a beauty session in a spa or institute immediately. The choice is yours. Let’s go from anti-aging booster treatments associated with radiofrequency to jets of cold, dry air to eliminate toxins, passing through the connective tissue massages and masks with LED technology which use light to stimulate skin regeneration.
Without neglecting laser and oxygen therapy: the gaseous jet of micronized oxygen will deeply penetrate the pool of anti-aging and glow substances vaporized with the airbrush. The jet works precisely on the wrinkle while also improving microcirculation. For more delicate skin, the detoxifying massage with brushes and application of a regenerating mask.
Peeling more than filler
A recommended approach a few hours before Christmas dinner? «Undoubtedly the biostimulating peeling, biorevitalization without needles which boosts hydration and stimulates cellular rejuvenation without exfoliating like traditional peels. With results of brightness and firmness and improvement of microwrinkles that are seen immediately and consolidate over time. The solution consists of two acids plus hydrogen peroxide it is massaged onto the face in three steps and the temporary redness goes away in a few hours.” The ideal cadence? «A session every 15 days, to be repeated five times» concludes the expert.
Valid alternative, monopolar radiofrequency treatment Reaffirmage by Solta Medicalwhich improves tone and elasticity of the face (but also of the body) without leaving unwanted marks. The technology generates controlled heat in the deeper layers of the skin which contracts the collagen fibres, with an instant lifting and firming effect.
In short, the choice is yours. Keeping in mind that «if there are a few days left until Christmas, it is better not to consider fillers and biorevitalizations, which could leave some marks in the days immediately following the session. Pay attention to those around the lips, which is a very vascularized part, therefore at high risk of bruising” underlines Dr. Federica Flenda, specialist in vascular surgery and aesthetic medicine in Milan.
