6 Beauty Treatments You Shouldn’t Overlook This year

Thanks to Amy for this guest post! I’m still out from my infusion but I’ll be back next week. 

Even though people always say that age is nothing but a number, they often want to defy those numbers and declare war on them once their first wrinkles start showing up. And you know what? That’s completely fine! There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look as healthy and youthful as you can, so having some options up your sleeve is always a great idea. Here are six of them you shouldn’t overlook this year, so keep on reading and see which one can work best for you!

6 Beauty Treatments You Shouldn't Overlook This Year

Derma Fillers

6 Beauty Treatments You Shouldn't Overlook This Year

Truth be told, dermal fillers are probably the most popular beauty treatment at the moment, loved by millions of women all across the globe. These are meant to be injected under the surface of the skin in small, controlled doses, in order to fill deep lines on one’s face. This non-invasive treatment provides a more youthful look by smoothing out the natural contours of the face and reducing the appearance of wrinkles in a really short period of time.

What’s so special about dermal fillers is the fact that they are a huge part of non-surgical facelifts and nose jobs, since both of these procedures can be done in a non-invasive way thanks to those. The results will last from 6 to 24 months, which is a great thing if you want to get something done in a different way the next time.

Microdermabrasion

In case you aren’t familiar with the term, microdermabrasion basically includes removing the top layers of the skin in order to smooth out wrinkles and diminish the appearance of blemishes and acne scars. Similarly to dermal fillers, this procedure is also non-invasive, and it uses gentle vacuuming system and diamond tips to unclog pores by removing dead skin cells.

Microdermabrasion is exactly what you need if your skin craves for deep exfoliation and extra polish, since it completely removes the damaged top layer of your skin and uncovers the new, healthy one below. This procedure is actually one of celebrity beauty secrets, since it’s known that famous ladies like Julianne Moore and Emma Roberts swear by it.

Laser and IPL Hair Removal

6 Beauty Treatments You Shouldn't Overlook This Year

Laser hair removal is one of the most raved about procedures these days, both when it comes to men and women. Male grooming has gone really mainstream in the last couple of years, which is why so many men wanted more long-lasting results when talking about hair removal. That’s exactly when laser and IPL hair removal step in – these use dermatological lasers and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) platforms to target and destroy the dark pigment in the hair follicle. As for the number of treatments, you’ll probably need from three to eight sessions at 4-6 weekly intervals to achieve about 80% hair reduction.

Coolsculpting

6 Beauty Treatments You Shouldn't Overlook This Year

If you ask Australian ladies, who are famous for their flawless and perfectly shaped bodies, they’ll probably say that CoolSculpting is their well-kept beauty secret. In case you were wondering, this is a revolutionary method that sculpts your body by literally freezing the excess fat. What’s so amazing about it is the fact that it’s done non-surgically – it eliminates unwanted body fat in the areas that don’t respond to exercise and diet.

Basically, the cold air is released and it causes those fat cells to freeze, crystalize, and die off. You can now surely understand why Australian women love their CoolSculpting in Perth – these instantly give fantastic results, making their bodies look flawlessly sculpted in no time!

Microblading

6 Beauty Treatments You Shouldn't Overlook This Year

Every woman out there should know that brows play a huge role in her overall look, providing an amazing frame for her face and making everything look balanced. A pair of perfectly shaped brows can transform every look and make your face look brighter, younger, and more symmetrical, which is why microblading has become a top choice when talking about beauty treatments all over the globe. It will give you semi-permanent, flawlessly shaped brows that can last for up to 36 months, which is a fantastic choice that’ll save you a lot of time on a daily basis since you won’t have to fill them in every single day.

Laser Eyelid Skin Tightening

Your eyelids and under eye area are extremely delicate and thin, which is why they need extra care and love. The truth is that this area is likely to show the signs of aging and sun damage before any other part of your face, so be sure you do everything you can to keep it properly protected. However, if your lower eyelid already features loose skin and fat pads, you don’t need to worry – there’s a non-invasive laser eyelid skin treatment that can help your skin’s laxity and improve your overall appearance in no time.

Each of these six beauty treatments is truly unique, and the fact that they are both non-invasive yet really effective makes them stand out from the rest. You won’t make a mistake whichever you pick – just make sure not to overlook them this year, because they’re really worthwhile!

FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]? As FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]?

As with all things, what’s true for me might not be true for others. I’m sure there are plenty of RA patients who do respond well to supplements; I’m just not one of them. 

Additionally, at one point, I refer to being on chemo since 2012. As always, the chemo I’m referring to is Rituxan, which is my RA treatment. I do not have cancer nor have I ever claimed to. 

Video: Kate talks to the camera. Text at the beginning reads “FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]?” and other text later reads “*24” to correct when she says “symptoms for 21 years”. There are captions.

Week 19 of #2026Weekly I’m not going to lie - my Week 19 of #2026Weekly 

I’m not going to lie - my life now focuses even more on maintaining my body. Trying to avoid foot surgery + keep my bone density up so I don’t break another bone for a while on top of all the other things I do to manage my 10+ illnesses … it’s a lot of work. I did go to actual work this week lol but my camera roll is all chronic illness stuff this week. 

1️⃣ The machine that will hopefully prevent surgery!!! Every day, I do 40 minutes of this ultrasound machine (20 min on 1 fracture, 20 min on the other) and it will speed up healing 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 
2️⃣ Continuing my exercise routine per my endocrinologist. Up to 30 minutes of Pilates 4 days a week … and since I don’t do exercises requiring pressure on my feet, the cast comes off.
