Beauty Pays

As the human face ages over time, changes occur in the skin, support structures and skeleton that result in visible aging. Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect the rate and degree in which these changes take place. Intrinsically, heredity, hormonal changes and bone structure play a part while skin care, tobacco use, sun exposure, nutrition and gravity are extrinsic contributions you can help control. Specifically, fat loss and downward shifting as well as bone and collagen loss result in loose, sagging skin and fine lines and wrinkles. It happens to us all.

A literature review confirms that physical attractiveness affords a variety of benefits including an increase in self-esteem, choice of mates and income. In his 2011 book, Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People Are More Successful, University of Texas economics professor Daniel Hamermesh states an equally qualified attractive person earns over $256,000 more in a lifetime than someone less attractive. In the current economy where aging workers must remain competitive coupled with the multitude of other perceived benefits of beauty, clients are looking for non-invasive, results driven treatments with little downtime and aftercare.
