Allure Aesthetics: The Biggest Trends in Aesthetics for 2022


FOCUS COVER STORY –

2022 is just around the corner! As we enter the new year, we all want to look and feel our best.  Allure Aesthetics wants you to know about some of the biggest and most effective trends in non-surgical cosmetic procedures for the face and body.

Take Control of Aging with These New Fillers

Versa and Versa Lips are Revanesse products that are FDA approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. These products are used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles, folds and lips.  Just approved in 2021, they are already popular in Europe.  These exciting, new additions have been added to Allure’s lists of fillers.

At Allure Aesthetics, we are committed to providing treatments and pathways for clients to achieve the best possible results. Why choose Versa? Sometimes achieving optimal results requires more product to accomplish full correction.  Versa is a good choice if you are seeking a more cost-effective treatment option. Versa is very effective in diminishing wrinkles and plumping lips. Plus, with the additional 20% more product in the syringe, you can accomplish a younger, smoother look. Versa is approved for adults 22 years of age or older, and the results last up to 12 months.

As we age, our lips tend to get thinner and develop fine lines. Versa Lips offers a custom, non-surgical treatment that we call “couture lips.” Many of our clients prefer this product because it includes lidocaine, which means less swelling and minimal discomfort. We predict this product will continue to gain popularity in 2022. According to Heather, an aesthetics registered nurse, “Lips are always in. More and more patients are looking for perfect, couture, natural-looking lips.”

Improve Hair Strength and Growth

Hair loss can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of aging. It’s true that men are more likely to lose their hair than women, but thinning hair, shedding hair and hair loss affects both men and women.

At Allure Aesthetics, we treat men and women, and we’re seeing a new trend. It’s no longer about living with hair loss or treating it once it happens.  Today we perform hair restoration procedures that have a preventative effect with the use of Platelet-Rich Plasma.

Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is now considered standard protocol for hair growth. The treatment involves injecting plasma from the patient’s own body into the scalp to repair damaged hair follicles and encourage fuller, thicker growth. Preventative PRP is especially recommended for men and women with hereditary-pattern baldness in their family. In 2022, we believe the requests for Preventive PRP will continue to rise in popularity.

Combinations Rock

One of the biggest, non-surgical requests we receive at Allure Aesthetics is for the “LitLift,” which achieves an overall facial optimization using fillers and neurotoxins. The “LitLift” is a trend that is very popular with “20-somethings” who have grown up seeing and hearing about aesthetic medical procedures. Now they are coming in to “prejuvenate” so that they can age positively and mitigate some of the age-related changes in the way they look.

Studies show that the light use of neuromodulators (such as Botox® and Xeomin®) and fillers (such as Juvederm® and Versa®) early in life has enormous anti-aging benefits. We see these results commonly in clients who proactively use injectables in their twenties and thirties to resolve mild aesthetic issues, rather than investing in plastic surgery later in life as a full overhaul. With the technical advancements of neurotoxins and fillers lasting longer and having additional flexibility within the skin, it’s possible to achieve natural results without a lot of products. In this case, it is important to note that less is always more, and the earlier you begin small aesthetic procedures, the less maintenance you will need over time. We like to say that the new trend for 2022 is to be a bit “high maintenance” once or twice a year, so you can be “low maintenance and fabulous” all year long.

Maintaining Your Youthful Glow

From innovative uses for neurotoxins and dermal fillers to advances in skin tightening, Allure Aesthetics offers an array of minimally invasive treatments to address any complexion and aging concerns on your horizon.

Mesotherapy, better known as the “Vampire Facial,” uses Platelet-Rich Plasma to resurface your skin. Skin Resurfacing – yes, you heard that right – using PRP with small amounts of additives, like neuromodulators and hyaluronic acid, delivered with handheld microneedle chambers to the superficial structures of the skin, enhances its resilience and enhances its glow. This technique has been very popular in 2021, and we predict that 2022 will see this trend include more “20 and 30-somethings” who are proactive about preventing the signs of aging.

Minimally Invasive Skin Tightening

Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen deep in the skin, causing a skin-tightening effect to prevent and treat sagging, loose skin.

At Allure Aesthetics, we believe minimally invasive skin tightening procedures like Ultherapy® will continue to be popular in 2022. As the global life expectancy increases, many patients are searching for non-surgical, preventative treatments to start in their twenties, thirties and forties to avoid or delay the need for more aggressive surgical procedures in the future.

Allure Aesthetics will be adding treatments like Ultherapy, which have been shown to be safe and effective in skin tightening and lifting. People are trending toward less invasive rejuvenation options.

2022 Body Trends Non-Surgical  Body Contouring

The body contouring trend is here to stay, and it’s not just for the Kardashians.  In 2022, we will see the evolution of non-surgical techniques.

Non-surgical body sculpting options include Coolsculpting® and EmSculpt® to help define abs and buttocks, and they can be combined with skin tightening and lymphatic drainage massages. Emsculpt clients generally have less overlying fat yet desire greater muscle definition. However, if your main goal is to remove stubborn fat, and you aren’t as interested in building muscle, you may be better off with CoolSculpting. At Allure, our clients get the combination of modern technology along with the traditional warmth and comfort of the professional, human touch.

The Rise of IV Nutrition Therapy as a Wellness Trend

Receiving an intravenous solution of vitamins has gone from a medical treatment for extreme dehydration to a wellness trend. This trend started to gain popularity 2008, but between 2016 and 2020, the trend has experienced a 900% increase in clients interested in the therapy.

When nutrients are administered intravenously, they enter the bloodstream immediately, so they work more efficiently on the body than an oral vitamin supplement.

People seek out these treatments for various reasons, including fast-tracking hangover recovery, warding off a cold, getting more energy, increasing metabolism, improving skin, hair and nails and more. The vitamins, minerals and amino acids used in each drip vary, but typically contain a blend of saline solution and electrolytes, as well as C and B vitamins.

IV therapy to improve wellness is set for tremendous growth in 2022 and beyond.

Finally, at Allure Aesthetics, we believe it’s all about natural looking “tweakments.” This might sound like a contradiction, but that’s what more and more of our clients are looking for – it’s about enhancement, not alteration.
