Dr. Babak Azizzadeh - A Plastic Surgeon to the Stars in Beverly Hills Shares How the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Models Prepared their Skin for the Runway
BEVERLY HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 6, 2016 / As part of last night's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show telecast on CBS-TV, top Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon Dr. Babak Azizzadeh shared how the models prepared their skin for the highly viewed runway show.
In anticipation for their appearance on the television special, the Victoria's Secret Angels have been preparing their bodies and skin for months to look their best.
"All of the models last night had flawless skin, which is the result of a long-term commitment to a consistent skin care routine. With the HD cameras, it was vital for these women to have glowing skin," commented Dr. Azizzadeh. "All of the models are naturally very beautiful, but chemical peels, micro-needling with PRP, laser treatments, great skin care products, and some conservative injectable treatments are the key to their flawless beauty."
Victoria's Secret models maintain very good skin care routines year round, and three months prior to the show is when they begin medical-grade skin treatments.
For the youngest models, like Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, they only need light skincare treatments such as chemical peels or micro-needling with PRP to give their skin that beautiful Victoria's Secret Angel glow. Both chemical peels and micro-needling with PRP treatments are performed by a physician with the goal of exfoliating dead skin and triggering cell turnover to promote new, healthy skin.
"Micro-needling with PRP is a subtle but very powerful skin treatment for a young model like Gigi Hadid. Your PRP (platelet rich plasma) has phenomenal growth factors that the micro-needling pen pushes into the skin," explains Dr. Azizzadeh. "Having a micro-needling with PRP treatment about 3 - 4 weeks before the fashion show can give a stunning glow to the models' skin."
For the veteran models, in addition to chemical peels and micro-needling with PRP treatments, they can benefit from conservative injectable treatments such as Botox and fillers.
"When we treat celebrities with Botox and/or fillers, the goal is a very natural result so that no one knows they had anything done. The way to achieve natural results is to gradually perform injectable treatments so that there isn't a dramatic change in their appearance," said Dr. Azizzadeh. "I keep Botox injections to a minimum for my celebrity patients so that they still have their natural facial expressions. What is more beneficial for celebrity patients is conservative filler treatments that create a youthful face shape. This means that the filler needs to be placed very strategically to restore volume in the proper areas of the face."
With filler treatments, Dr. Azizzadeh can restore volume to hollow temples, dark circles under the eyes, and deflated cheeks or nasolabial folds around the nose. These are all areas that lose volume with age and create shadowing effects on the face that can make you look older than you really are. By restoring the lost volume, the face instantly takes on its more youthful appearance. "The key is to not overfill the face, but to simply replenish the volume that used to be there," added Dr. Azizzadeh.
