2017 Beauty Choice Awards: Our 7 Favorite Winners

The editors at NewBeauty.com recently published their annual Beauty Choice Awards, a comprehensive list of their top rated professional cosmetic treatments. After 8 months of testing and soliciting feedback from subjects, the magazine’s editors chose 114 winners.

Here are some of our favorite award winners, each of which we offer here at Westlake Dermatology:

HydraFacial (“Best Facial for a Healthy Glow”)

Part facial and part microdermabrasion, the HydraFacial MD treatment quickly removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities while bathing the new skin with cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums. This treatment can combat a variety of issues including sun damage, hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles, and dry or dullness of the skin. HydraFacial is designed to restore healthy skin without causing irritation. Learn more about Hydrafacial

Juvederm (“Ultimate Filler”)

Juvederm is a hyaluronic-acid based dermal filler that has the ability to restore volume and fullness to the skin, resulting in a healthy and youthful appearance. There are multiple products within the Juvederm family, each designed to address different aging issues and facial areas. Learn more about Juvederm

Botox Cosmetic (“All-Star Wrinkle Eraser”)

Botox is the most popular neuromodulator that eradicates lines and wrinkles by reducing the contractions of facial muscles that cause their development. While the results of Botox are dramatic, results can still appear very natural. The muscles are simply relaxed, so you can still frown, smile, or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases.

CoolSculpting (“Allover Fat Fighter”)

The ultimate non-surgical body contouring treatment, CoolSculpting, is a non-invasive procedure designed to gently and effectively reduce stubborn fat in targeted areas of the body. Specialized controlled cooling technology is used to freeze fat cells away without causing damage to surrounding skin and tissue. The result is a reduction in fat bulges that is visible in most patients as early as three weeks to three months after treatment. Learn more about CoolSculpting

Restylane Silk (“Long-Lasting Lip Plumper”)

Restylane Silk is a specialized hyaluronic acid filler that can both add volume to the lips while simultaneously reducing lip lines after a single treatment. It is also ideal to help smooth the wrinkles and lines around the mouth. Learn more about Restylane

Ultherapy (“Overall Skin Tightener”)

Ultherapy is a noninvasive ultrasound-based treatment that can lift and tighten the skin. Ultherapy works by gently heating the tissue to lift and tighten loose skin without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. Your skin’s response to the energy is to stimulate the growth of new collagen. A gradual tightening and firming occurs, resulting in a natural lift of the skin over time. Learn more about Ultherapy

Kybella (“Under-the-Chin Fat Eliminator”)

Kybella is a fairly new non-invasive procedure that is FDA approved to improve the appearance of submental fullness (i.e. double chin). When injected into targeted fat pockets under the chin, Kybella causes the rapid destruction and absorption of fat cells while also preventing future fat accumulation. After treatment, the fat that is cleared from the area is processed by the body’s natural metabolic process. Kybella only targets fat cells; all other cells and tissue remain unaffected.
