Cindy Crawford
Model Cindy Crawford is famous for her good looks, and while good genes and a healthy lifestyle play an important role, the beauty is open about the fact that she uses cosmetic treatments to keep her skin free from wrinkles. Crawford opts for treatments that ensure her results look natural and subtle while achieving a youthful and healthy-looking appearance.
John Mayor
Singer John Mayor also revealed that he went for a series of injectable treatments, although he opted for the procedure for health rather than aesthetic reasons. Mayor was diagnosed with a condition known as granuloma, which causes inflammation of the vocal chords, and injectables were used to help address the issue. The injections worked by freezing the vocal chords, allowing them to heal over time.
What are cosmetic injectables?
There are two main types of cosmetic injectables: anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. While anti-wrinkle injections cause the muscles in the area of treatment to relax, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers restore volume and improve the texture of the skin. The type of injectable that you choose will depend on your particular needs and aesthetic goals. Sometimes a combination of treatments is recommended.We offer a number of facial rejuvenation therapies at Lara Smile, including cosmetic injectables that work to reduce the visible signs of ageing.
