Do you find your favourite brow pencil or best lipstick can take years off of your appearance? You’re not alone! In fact, some studies suggest that brows, lips, and eyes that stand out can create a youthful, rejuvenated appearance.
While many people know that wrinkles and loss of volume are tell-tale signs of ageing, fewer know that pigmentation changes to key features can also turn back or speed up the clock.
In an April blog, our team explained that bolder, more contrasting brows tended to make a person look more youthful. But that’s not all. The study we referenced in our article focused not just on eyebrows, but on overall facial contrast.
In other words, those carrying out the study assessed how much the brows, eyes, and lips stood out from the surrounding skin on the person’s face. The study found that the higher the amount of contrast, the younger the individual was rated by those viewing the study. While each individual has their own unique colouring, the finding of this study held true across multiple backgrounds and skin tones.
Is Permanent Makeup Right For You? Contact Our Kelowna Specialists
If you find that a bolder brow, accented lip, or well-applied eyeliner help define and open up your features, makeup isn’t your only option. Permanent makeup is more dramatic and lasts longer than solutions found in your makeup bag, but at the same time is not as intensive as a facelift or brow lift.
It is an effective and nonsurgical way to accentuate and rejuvenate the brows, lips, and eyes, and open up the features.
Permanent Makeup Options
Permanent Makeup For Brows: Permanent makeup for the eyebrows can alter the darkness, thickness, and shape of the brow. For those seeking a subtle boost, we offer a natural hair-stroke effect. For anyone who wants to wake up with perfectly powdered brows, our technicians can create a more dramatic colour-block effect.
Permanent Makeup For Lips: The ever-popular lip injections are not the only way to obtain a more elegant pout. For those happy with the size and shape of their lips, and merely seeking an enhancement in terms of pigmentation, lip liner or lipstick can be an effective option.
Permanent Makeup For Eyes: Permanent eyeliner can enhance and open up the eyes.
360-Degree Rejuvenation Care
At Peterson MD Plastic Surgery, we offer “360-degree” rejuvenation. This means that when a patient comes to our clinic, we can offer them an array of both surgical and nonsurgical options. Sometimes, patients aren’t aware of all the procedures available to them, or may even see an issue as more or less extensive than it is. That’s why, if a patient comes to us with concerns about their appearance, we explain everything from minimally-invasive procedures to more extensive ones. If a minimally-invasive procedure is the better option for the patient, patients can get a referral to the Okanagan Skin Care Centre, which is overseen by Dr. Peterson.
