ENGLEWOOD, N.J. - Jan. 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Happy New Year! Whether or not you believe in making resolutions, it’s always the right time to think about taking better care of your skin and overall appearance. So, we’re dragging out our crystal ball to tell you the Top 10 cosmetic and skincare trends that we think are going to make for a beautiful 2015 (and beyond). TOP TRENDS FOR 2015… 1. Easy Does It: Gentle, minimally invasive procedures that give you a natural, more healthy appearance. 2. Fill ‘Er Up: Minimally invasive procedures like dermal fillers like Botox, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), and Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) will continue to grow in popularity over traditional surgical procedures, thanks to their ability to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles with practically zero downtime and pain-free techniques. 3. Oh, Man: According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), more than 1 million guys had a cosmetic procedure in 2013, and 2015 will see even more men booking appointments, in order to look good and stay competitive in the job market. 4. Age-Appropriate: The age range of those seeking cosmetic procedures will continue to expand, as younger patients get more proactive in warding off the signs of aging and more mature patients stay in the workforce longer and seek a more youthful appearance. 5. Fat Attack: The use of autologous fat grafting will continue to expand, as better harvesting and preservation techniques become more widely available. 6. Frequent Fliers: Despite the risks, plastic surgery destinations and vacations (especially to South America and the Caribbean) will, unfortunately, continue to increase. 7. Equal Opportunity: In the U.S., ethnic minorities will continue to show a strong increase in cosmetic procedures. 8. Pump up the Volume: Facial contouring and longer lasting fillers gain preference. 9. Make Waves: Non-invasive skin-tightening procedures such as radio frequency and ultrasound will gain popularity. 10. Lose Inches Instantly: Non-invasive fat and circumference-reducing procedures will continue to improve, offering a safer alternative to traditional liposuction. …AND BEYOND! 1. Beam Me Up: Safer and more affordable laser procedures and CIT treatments will become more mainstream to rejuvenate and resurface aging skin and diminish the appearance of scars. 2. By a String: The use of threads to lift sagging skin on the face and neck will become the new standard for non-invasive facelifts in select patients. 3. Close to Home: More effective home-use skincare products and devices will allow people to take anti-aging treatments into their own hands.
