Sparkling jewelry, a comfy sweater or<br />
a designer purse may have been on your<br />
holiday wish list, but what do you truly<br />
want for 2017? How about a smoother,<br />
tighter, more youthful complexion?<br />
The following are a few ways you can<br />
give yourself the gift of beautiful skin:<br />
• Juvéderm: Each day, exposure to the<br />
sun’s damaging rays, as well as a myriad<br />
of environmental pollutants, subject your<br />
skin to a barrage of unhealthy and unflattering<br />
effects. Topping the potential troubles<br />
is the gradual loss of hyaluronic acid,<br />
the naturally occurring fluid in connective<br />
tissue that helps to keep your skin smooth<br />
and taut. As a result, the skin becomes<br />

dehydrated and the elastin and collagen<br />
fibers lose their integrity, leaving you with<br />
dry, thin, loose and wrinkled skin. A top<br />
solution is Juvéderm, a biodegradable gel<br />
that replaces hyaluronic acid, and infuses<br />
collagen and elastin with new moisture<br />
and restores volume, all in less than an<br />
hour and requiring no downtime.<br />
• Radiesse — It’s been said that a<br />
genuine smile is the most glamorous accessory.<br />
But those marionette lines and<br />
pre-jowl folds that form around the mouth<br />
as we age can do a number on your<br />
otherwise gorgeous grin. That’s when<br />
you need Radiesse. Formulated with tiny<br />
calcium-based microspheres suspended<br />
in a water-based gel, this popular, highly<br />
effective dermal filler temporarily restores<br />
volume, smoothing the lines and plumping<br />
the sagging skin that forms around your<br />
smile and in the chin area. Over time, it<br />
actually works to stimulate your body’s<br />
natural production of collagen, the structural<br />
protein that keeps the skin’s underlying<br />
connective tissue strong and taut. The<br />
result is a long-lasting, youthful look.<br />
