The Nefertiti Effect: A Neck (Lift) Fit for a Queen

Who wouldn’t want to have a neck like Nefertiti? The Egyptian queen, known for her elegant features, is a source of inspiration in more ways than one. During her reign alongside Pharaoh Akhentaten, she reshaped both the political and religious structures of Egypt—and may have even ruled alone after his death. Nefertiti became a global icon of feminine power and beauty after archeologists rediscovered her painted sandstone bust in 1913. Her timeless beauty also inspired a procedure that bears her name: the Nefertiti Neck Lift. This treatment tightens, lifts, and defines the entire jawline, profile, chin, and neck without fillers or surgery—and it takes less than ten minutes to complete. Read on to discover how it can work for you.

The 4 Biggest Myths About Thread Lifting

When the perpetually radiant Gwyneth Paltrow brought thread lifting into the spotlight wayyy back in 2015, it was a somewhat controversial procedure with limited availability and uncertain results—but as usual, Gwyneth was just ahead of her time. Now, thanks to major improvements in technology, materials, and techniques, threading has become one of the most popular cosmetic processes and a hot topic of conversation in mainstream media and dermatologist offices alike.

Looking Good: 4 Treatments for Brighter Eyes

Now more than ever, skincare is at the heart of self care. Whether we’re on a video call with colleagues, catching up with friends and family while social-distancing, or making a quick trip to the grocery store, having healthy-looking skin is one of the best ways to feel confident and in control of our “new normal.” It’s true: in the age of coronavirus, requests for procedures ranging from simple facials and injectables to actual plastic surgery are at an all-time high.

Skin Rejuvenation is Here to Give You a Late-Summer Glow

When it comes to beauty buzzwords, “rejuvenation” tops the list.

That cause, of course, is a mix of time, body chemistry, and everyday damage that builds up over long months and years. To make a positive, lasting change in our skin’s health, we have look beneath what’s happening on the skin’s surface and treat the root of these common skin woes.

With temperatures soaring above 90 degrees, it doesn’t take more than a short walk outside to experience the effects of the heatwave that’s currently sweeping the nation. And the most noticeable side effect of sweltering summer weather—aside from steaming sidewalks and wilting plants, of course—is sweat. While perspiration is our body’s natural way of regulating temperature, hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be uncomfortable and even embarrassing for those who experience it in excess. Luckily, sweat doesn’t have to spell disaster for your summer plans. Botox, the injectable that does wonders for woes like wrinkles and migraines, can also reduce hyperhidrosis—so you can get your glow on without feeling like you just stepped out of a sauna.
