Six Steps To A Bootylicious Behind

A round perky derrière can make any ordinary dress look couture and transcend a regular pair of skinny jeans to object of envy. “Brazillian Butt” a beauty benchmark celebrating the country’s gravity-defying bundas showcased in teeny bikinis is on every girls must-have beauty wish-list. If you think this supernatural phenomenon is all coz of lucky genes you’re very wrong. These curves are the direct byproduct of the country’s sun-and-sport culture, which emphasizes on regular workouts and diligent skincare.

Here’s a foolproof blueprint for a bootylicious behind even if you don’t carry the Brazilian genes.

1) First & Foremost - Exercise

If your bottom is too flabby then its time to officially shake that booty. Start exercise on regular basis to tone up the muscles and optimize the shape of your bum. Walking gets great results, providing it is done on a daily basis.

Here is a simple tried and tested exercise protocol that can enhance your butt shape if practiced regularly. 

2) Let’s Get You All Smooth Bummed - Off With The Orange-peel

Cellulite makes skin look uneven. Effects of aging, hormones and unhealthy lifestyle make the collagen bundles that connect your skin to the underlying fat become weak. Fat starts to protrude in some areas leading to a dimpled orange peel appearance. Unfortunately exercise can’t solve this problem entirely. To smoothen and strengthen the skin and get rid of orange-peel effect without affecting the buttocks’ shape doctors usually combine Carboxy Therapy treatments with Multipolar Radiofrequency treatements. By increasing oxygen flow to the cells, carboxy therapy galvanizes cell exchange and encourages the elimination of fat pads peeping through the damage collagen fibers. Radiofrequency enhances the skin’s surface by making the collagen bundles stronger and plumping the dermis. It usually requires 5 to 6 sessions performed once a week to see good results.

3) Stretch Marks

These white stripes represent scars in your skin. While undergoing growth spurt during puberty or with weight gain your skin gets stretched to accommodate for size change. If your skin doesn’t have enough elasticity, collagen and elastin bundles break and the crack is filled with white scar tissue. A combination of Carboxy Therapy along with Micro-needling and Fractional CO2 Laser treatments can work wonders in erasing the stretch marks. The idea is to replace old damaged skin with new healthy skin which is plump with collagen and elastin. By boosting oxygen flow to the cells, carboxy therapy encourages cell regeneration. Micro-needling, which involves injecting the skin using different sized micro-needles, stimulates fibroblast induction. Fractional CO2 laser physically removes the scar tissue with micro beams and replaces it with fresh healthy skin.

4) Plump Up For A Shape Change

To improve the shape of buttocks, we can use injections of Fat taken from your own body or synthetic injections like Macrolane ® which are composed of highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid. These two are the most effective methods to add volume and create a rounder shape for the buttocks. Fat is natural filler and can be harvested from patients own body especially from lower back and thigh areas to create a tiny waist and slim thighs that contrast with a rounder bum in a more flattering way. One session plus a touch up 4-6 weeks after the first session gives long-term results that last 3-5 years. When opting for Macrolane ® injections you have to keep in mind that usually a large quantity of product is required to create an attractive shape (the cost can be quite high). After the injection session patients must avoid sitting or sleeping on their back for 7-14 days, so as not to displace the injected product. Top-up sessions are required every 18 to 24 months. Procedure is considered uncomfortable even painful in some cases depending on your pain threshold.

5) Lift That Butt Up

Radiofrequency devices can help to lift and tighten the skin around the buttock area. They also help to slim down and create better contour for your behind. To achieve good results 5-10 sessions are needed which should be scheduled 7-15 days apart.

Tensor threads and tissue inducers can also be used to lift the buttocks (that are not very bulky), but the success rate is questionable in most cases. Using special vectors specialized Prolene 2.0 threads can be injected by a specialist under local anesthetic. You get 10-15% results immediately but the final results become apparent in 3 to 6 months. These threads are 100% biodegradable and within year or two they are fully reabsorbed hence they need top up every 1-2 year.

6) Tone Up And Slim Down

If your buttock area is too large, there is nothing better than HIFU or focused ultrasounds to reshape it. Focused ultrasound beams destroy excess fat while improving the skin tone. Usually three sessions are required, with a month in between. Cryolipolysis, meanwhile, is great for the fat that lurks in the fold under your buttock. It works by freezing and thus destroying the fat cells. Cryolipo cannot be used on the whole bum, as it works best on small, well-defined areas.

This six-step approach to fix the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fat and muscles delivers best looking and shapely bums that anyone can ever wish for. First step towards a perfect behind is awaiting you – Get Moving!

The Rise Of "Brotox" — Breaking Free From The Old Taboos

Every guy needs to admit the fact that “feeling old” sucks no matter what your age. We all look in the mirror every morning and judge ourselves by how we look, and then our day starts — ours friends, colleagues, acquaintances, loved ones, and strangers in short the whole world looks at us and responds to our quintessence in direct or indirect ways; compliments (verbal or nonverbal) always boost our morale and criticism at some level ends up denting our self confidence. Women have been indulging in anti-aging rituals from time immemorial; the pertinent new-age question challenging the beau of today is — Is it “OK” for men to take a dip in the aesthetic fountain of youth?

Women have always been held to a far higher standard when it comes to aging, therefore it’s a modern and socially acceptable norm that most females will willingly go under the needle or knife to reset nature’s clock. Men, by contrast, have long worn their wrinkles and sun damage as a public badge of endurance, hard work, experience, and sacrifice. The ultimate symbol of masculinity; Clint Eastwood roping bad guys in and delivering justice in the “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly” didn’t have a smooth, flat forehead. Similarly high-profile male role-models & celebrities like Robert Redford and Sean Connery who have rocked their creases for decades on the red carpet have also perpetuated the psychological baseline that it’s better for men to remain au natural.

But things can’t always stay status quo, the Marlboro hunk might have portrayed the picture of the ultimate “Manly Man” looking all rugged and creased with a cigarette pursed in his lips in 1959, but smoking is not as fashionable in 2016 as it was back then and the same holds true for the wrinkles. The new face of masculinity and People Magazine’s sexiest man of the year 2015; David Beckham has allegedly been bitten by the aesthetic surgery bug. Brotox (Bros using Neurotoxin to erase wrinkles), high-def abs and other aesthetic procedures have begun to shape the brand new “Menaissance” — a golden Era of Unapologetic Male Beauty.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 6,757,198 U.S. men received “Brotox” (a.k.a. Botox for men) injections in 2015, highlighting a 355 percent increase, since 2000. The goal for most men doing aesthetic treatments is not to look younger; they just simply aim to look better, more attractive, more rested, and fit. Though the staggering rise in numbers is impressive and a testament to the fact that men and women both want to look good no matter what the age, there still is some stigma attached to men receiving aesthetic treatments. Most men believe in going to the gym and taking care of their health, and physical fitness. So why not take other measures to look and feel their best too?

Reality of life is: “Men age” and lucky for them the cosmetic tools to hide it are no longer reserved for ladies and plastic-faced newscasters. The increase in male patients undergoing cosmetic procedures is driven by:

·      A desire to be more competitive and youthful in the workforce, the growing social acceptability of cosmetic procedures and increased awareness of the safety and efficacy are all contributing factors to the increase in male patients.

·      In addition, age-related concerns have men seeking cosmetic procedures. With younger urban male professionals, gender conventions are blurring, and these men also understand the importance of maintaining their youthful look.

·      The constant sharing of photos on social media is also driving pressure on younger men to look fashionable, well groomed and fit.

The trends of self-grooming for men are constantly shifting and more men than ever are fixing their faces with lasers, needles, and chemicals. Men have begun to accept and realize that tiny injections of neurotoxins can really make them look well rested, sharp and fresh. Looking young, feeling young — feels good and restores confidence. It also just might give you an edge at your next job interview and improve your love life. Furrowed brows and “Elevens” don’t represent industry experience the way they used to so being able to come across seasoned as well as youthful is often the ticket to nailing your next big promotion against the Millennial who’s leveraging age against you. The aesthetic industry stats back the acceptance of aesthetic treatment among male patients, one last thing you need to know before you embrace the Bro-tox trend is choose your doctor very carefully. The injector has to understand the characteristics of a male face and ensure during injections he/she does not feminize the face even minutely.
