3 Last Minute Holiday Beauty Treats You Deserve during Your Lunch Hour!

If you are like most people, your holiday social calendar is filled with parties, fundraisers, work events and family gatherings. While some people have taken the time to prepare ahead to dazzle friends, families and colleagues, many of us find ourselves wondering if there is anything we can to in the eleventh hour to stop the clock and turn back the hands of time?  If you work hard at a paying (or non-paying!) job, and want a quick, easy and affordable way to look better for the holidays, here’s what you deserve during your lunch hour:

1.  If holiday photos always seem to capture that dreaded bump on your nose, then ask Dr. Yagoda to make immediate, natural and noticeable changes with a non-surgical rhinoplasty.  This time and cost efficient fix will give you a straighter, more balanced and refined nose. Dr. Yagoda uses injectable fillers to camouflage depressions, eliminate bumps, and even change the appearance of the tip and nostrils—all in a quick office procedure that doesn’t require general anesthesia, bandages, or recovery time.  In addition to looking great, you get to “try on” the results before committing to a permanent surgical result!

2.  If people tell you that you look angry, tired or worried, when you are content and well-rested, it’s time for a treatment with Dysport. This Botox competitor erases crows’ feet, angry lines and worry lines in as early as 24 hours!  Look refreshed and stress-free faster even before you sip that Margarita, under a palm tree in St. Lucia.

3. Gray may be the new navy or the new black, but it is never the new skin color to covet!  If your skin is looking gray and sallow, restore the radiance, and get glowing, clear and tighter skin with a peel.  With no downtime and no pain, this treatment is a must for anyone who wants to wear winter white!

Love the way you look this holiday season and at the same time take comfort in knowing that annoying aunt Sally and your sister-in-law Karen won’t have anything to criticize.  You’ll see the loving grin in your father ‘s eyes when he is equally smitten by your brains and your beauty.  And, who know?  Maybe this time, your boss will pay closer attention when you ask for the raise you deserve!  Happy Holiday!  Enjoy the power of beauty!

Are there any non-surgical options for facial rejuvenation?

ASK DR. YAGODA

Dr.Michelle YagodaQuestion: I am a 48 year old woman living in Manhattan and am not ready for a facelift just yet. Are there any non surgical options for facial rejuvenation?

Answer: Absolutely!  You can look younger and refreshed with any one (or a combination) of these non-surgical options: 1. Fillers —Restylane, Perlane, LaViv, Juvederm, Radiesse and Sculptura— can soften nasolabial folds, make cheeks more defined, restore hollowed cheeks and under eye areas, and even make the jawline and chin more prominent; 2. Neurotoxins—Botox, Dysport and Xeomin—can erase the angry and worry lines in the brow, and the crows feet around the corners of the eyes; and 3. IPL — Lasers and Chemical Peels can make the skin tone and texture even and tighter while minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, erasing brown spots, and vaporizing broken blood vessels.  If you are not quite ready for a facelift, but willing to do some minimal surgery that will give you amazing and natural results, consider these two alone or in combination:  1. Liposuction under the chin to get rid of turkey gobble and drooping jowls; and 2. i-Guide neck lift to improve the definition and angle of the neck without any tell-tale incisions at all around the ear.

Wake up your eyes!

Do people tell you that you look tired, even after you’ve had 10 hours of sleep?  Recent articles on the Internet offer at home remedies that you can use to refresh your eyes4.  If these aren’t enough, consider medical grade treatments, lasers, fillers and botox…or even an eyelid lift.
