The beauty industry, ranking as one of the top industries in the world, is propelled by the quest to maintain the impression of youth for as long as possible. Which brings us to consider what specifically contributes to a youthful appearance; what are the elements and conditions?
The highly respected Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, working out of his Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist spa, utilizes efficient cutting-edge technology and refined aesthetic standards to help his patients achieve and maintain natural, beautiful smiles; contributing significantly to their overall impression of youth.
If we look at a person as a large canvas, we see that many elements are working together to communicate a unique visual story. Their skin, hair, teeth, eyes, muscle tone, posture and physical agility come into play. Each of these responds to the effects of aging and when attended to and improved will help us look younger longer.
The ultra violet rays of the sun cause a range of damage – from wrinkles and sunspots to cancer. We now are aware of the wisdom in using sun block on our skin, wearing a hat and sunglasses to protect our eyes as well. Erasing or diminishing the damage to our skin resulting from sun exposure can remove years from our appearance.
A good diet including fruits, vegetables, healthy oils and ample amounts of water will most definitely keep the skin fed and moisturized, reversing a dry and dull-toned look. Dermatologists, with new advancements at their disposal can help us reduce wrinkles, blemishes and the effects of the sun. Cosmetic surgeons can address wrinkles, sagging facial muscles, excess skin and hollowing facial planes.
If the hair framing a person’s face is dry, limp and lacking in luster it does not register a youthful and healthy condition. Again, good nutrition and hygiene have a profound effect. Regular haircuts and trimmings eliminate dead growth and allow the hair to move and flow. The design of a haircut and how it interplays with the structure of a person’s face can help pull attention to their most attractive facial feature.
One of the most dramatic improvements in a person’s appearance, reversing the negative visual impact of aging, is the enhancement of their smile. As teeth age, they often become yellow, grey or irregularly colored. In addition, some of our favorite foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, soda, tomato-based foods, red wine and berry pie will cause our teeth to look dull and stained.
Teeth whitening is inexpensive, fast and pain free – and is the most commonly requested cosmetic dentistry procedure. Beverly Hills tooth whitening specialist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, uses the leading whitener, Zoom!™ Advanced Power Plus Chairside Tooth Whitening System. In less than two hours, reclining in a comfortable chair, Dr. Maddahi’s patients have their teeth whitened up to eight shades lighter.
To repair chipped, broken, uneven, poorly spaced or missing teeth, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi has many options at his finger tips. His California dentist practice offers porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, implants and composite resin bonding which all contribute to a beautiful, natural smile and an overall expression of health and youth!
