19 Dec If Mona Lisa Had Kybella
According to the “Golden Ratio” developed by the Greeks, Mona Lisa actually isn’t very attractive, and her double chin is a big part of it. Had she had access to Kybella, the double chin treatment available at RefinedMD, her portrait might be worth even more than the current appraisal of $775 million.
The golden ratio is a math equation designed to measure beauty regardless of time, space, or place. It can be used on just about anything, not just people, but is famous for its use by Leonardo Da Vinci in his Vitruvian Man. The closer the ratios are to the ideal 1.62, the more attractive something is—including the human face. Sadly, Mona Lisa only gets to 86.6 percent of “perfect” using the golden ratio. Specifically, it’s her eye shape, space between lips and nose, and double chin that docks her points.
Amping Up Your Aesthetic
The latest face-mapping technology was recently used to gauge the attractiveness of several classic paintings. Compared to all other paintings and portraits, the Mona Lisa scored lowest on the chin area. Perhaps it was the brilliant brushstrokes and that undeniable enigmatic smile that makes the Mona Lisa such a stunner.
Fortunately for modern day Mona Lisas, there are options to customize the face in a safe and comfortable manner. Kybella works as a series of injections that banish fat cells in the under-chin area. The results are gradual and natural looking, so it doesn’t seem like any “work” has been done. The slow but steady results also help ensure skin stays taut and has a chance to readjust to lost volume. A sudden loss of fat can make skin appear saggy.
Every person is unique, a one-of-a-kind work of art, so how many injections you’ll need will vary. Kybella is non-invasive and there is no down time. Double chins can be caused by many factors including excess weight, genetics, and age, but they can all be undone with a few injections of synthetic deoxycholic acid.
Sculptra Dermal Filler for the Face
However, a double chin isn’t the only factor influencing the golden ratio. The right amount of volume in the rate place is also critical, and that’s where dermal fillers come into play. Don’t have the time for injections every few months? Sculptra might be the answer. Unlike other dermal fillers, Sculptra for the face is semi-permanent and offers natural, beautiful, and long-lasting results. The FDA-approved injectable slowly helps patients regain collagen, which is naturally lost as we age. The results can last for over two years, making it the longest-lasting injectable on the market.
Sculptra is designed to correct both shallow and deep folds and wrinkles in the face. Fine lines and wrinkles aren’t just caused by age. They can also be premature and caused by sun damage, weight loss, or smoking. There are several dermal fillers available, but they’re not all created equally. RefinedMD offers only the best and safest options, and the team is excited to feature Sculptra.
Turn Back Time
Collagen is a vital aspect of youthful skin, which is why so many face creams tout collagen as a primary ingredient. It’s natural, but it’s not capable of being absorbed topically. Collagen is a protein, and when ingested orally (such as with collagen pills), it’s simply digested in the stomach. Only injections that stimulate collagen can address aging, skin damage, or weight loss.
Facial fillers are made of a liquid or gel that “fills in” the lines and wrinkles to make the skin look smoother. However, Sculptra also includes a collagen stimulator which can help the body naturally produce more collagen on its own. Most patients require three injections within a four-month period, and results emerge over time.
The Sculptra Difference
Sculptra is made up of poly-L-lactic acid or PLAA, a collagen stimulator. It works deep inside the skin to fill in lines and wrinkles while encouraging organic collagen production. The PLAA microparticles are absorbed by the body, stimulate collagen, and naturally fill in lost facial volume. The result? More youthful skin within four months, and results that last more than two years for many patients.
Sometimes the best approach for a patient is customized just for them. Sculptra might be the only procedure a patient is interested in, or it might be combined with any number of additional treatments such as Kybella. Since your skin is the largest organ you have, and the first thing people notice about you, it’s important to nourish it.
