Uplifting Work Experiences: The New Lunchtime “Pick-Me-Up”

Have you ever felt that by the time noon hit at the office you could use a serious lift? Now, I know what you’re likely thinking. You’re thinking about that chocolate of java fix, or perhaps that fresh-squeezed energy and antioxidant-packing veggie and spirulina juice. But, what I’m talking about is a bit more “literal” in nature.

In fact, in just 30 minutes you can give your whole appearance a lift, with the latest in face-lift procedures.

More commonly known as “insta-lifts” these mini makeovers take just minutes of your time and don’t leave any major scars.

Among the most popular procedures is the Sculptra, a 30-minute “lift” involving a series of injections (using a mixture of poly-L-lactic acid material and water) geared to stimulating the growth of collagen and offering a gradual boost in skin thickness.

And, while these concepts have been around for a while, according to industry experts, what makes them new is the time it takes to complete each procedure.

In fact, professionals suggest it takes as much time as ordering a coffee, with most procedures done right in the doctor’s office. But, as “simple” as the procedure may be, the one thing it is not, is cheap. In fact, one treatment may run you at least $550. However, effects are expected to last for up to two years.

According to experts, the skin tends to restore itself over time, working much like “fertilizer”, just apply (the injection) and wait for the new skin to grow.
