www.womanthismonth.com September 2018 49 BEAUTY | feature NO NONSENSE NOSE JOB Rhinoplasty has been around for a while and, because of its popularity and sounding almost too good to be true, the non-surgical rhinoplasty trend has fast established itself in the world of cosmetic procedures, pleasing those reluctant to opt for surgery. This procedure is minimally invasive, in that a surgeon uses an injectable filler to make minor improvements to the structure of the nose. You would be awake for the duration of the procedure – usually under 15 minutes. However, non-surgical rhinoplasty isn’t permanent, and you’ll have to go back periodically. It is also not advisable to go for this procedure if you seek more than a few minor tweaks. Try Dr Abeer AlKobaisi – Call 17 820-988. FACIAL DISCO Originally developed to heal wounds and surgical scars, LED light therapy now doubles as a way of reducing fine lines, wrinkles and pore size, while brightening the skin and evening skin tone. Using colour-specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin, it works by stimulating the anti-ageing process. One session lasts between 20 and 30 pain-free minutes. This form of therapy promises to make you look years younger, depending on your personal skin-care goals and individual treatment plan. Different skin-care clinics use different coloured lights to target different problem areas, so make sure you check with your therapist and understand what areas are being targeted. Try Sparadise – Call 17 313-131. NO PAIN IN THE BUTT Religiously sticking to a squat routine and seeing little transformation can be disheartening for anyone and yet, if the alternative is having silicone placed into each of your buttocks, it might tend to be a no-no from you. Swooping in with a much better option for damsels in distress, the Brazilian Butt Lift comes with considerable advantages. One of the most enticing features of this procedure is that, instead of having foreign objects placed into your posterior, your own fat is taken from other parts of your body and injected to give you a shapelier butt. In addition to an enhancement, you also benefit from the slimming down of the abdomen or hips. No surgery also means no surgical scar and minimal downtime. Try Dr Ahmed Al Asfoor – Call 17 262-696. TRIGGERING COLLAGEN A poor lifestyle, ageing and various other issues can be causal factors of collagen in our bodies basically giving up on us. Also known as micro-needling, collagen induction therapy or messoroller aims to boost our body’s natural collagen production. The process involves the systematic passing of a medical-grade roller over your face and/or body to improve wrinkles and scars. Collagen production is triggered by the roller’s microneedle punctures on the surface of the skin, which in turn stimulates a wound-healing response. It isn’t as painful as it sounds and, between 24 and 72 hours, any swelling and mild bruising should subside. The final result will be well worth the discomfort. After all, no pain, no gain.

After losing a great deal of weight, this procedure is usually the final step before you attain the body you’ve always dreamed of. The stomach, buttocks, thighs, arms and breasts can all be contoured by your surgeon. Usually done under general anaesthesia, and with some downtime and scarring, it’s really about the long-term benefits with this surgery. However, if the problem is less severe, your doctor may advise thermage machine treatment to tighten and improve the look of the skin. Try Bahrain Specialist Hospital – 17 812-000.
