What are they turning to?
Russian lips: It was a popular trend that was embraced by everyone who had their lips done. However, it only lasted for a year. This treatment uses a specific type of product that creates a sharp Cupid’s bow and flat appearance. When discussing the desired look with lip injections, many people decline that look. Instead, they want subtle lips filled with Cupid’s bow.
Jelena has observed a significant increase in clients looking for a natural and more tweaked look when it comes to emerging trends.
She stated that trends change all the time in cosmetics, so she would never recommend doing anything permanent.
“We’re seeing a lot more people asking about PRP injections (Platelet Rich plasma) I believe because people are so focused to look natural but still want work done.
Platelet rich plasma is made from the patient’s own platelets. This helps to speed up tissue regeneration and repair.
Jelena, with flawless skin and glowing complexion, is a regular recipient of Botox or filler treatments. However, she swears by a strict skincare regime that includes products she made.

‘Night time consists in the same routine. I just add a Repair serum, which is a type Vitamin A, and then I use alight Hydration.
Jelena says that women who try out tweakments for their first time make the biggest mistakes. Her biggest mistake when it comes to skincare is ‘not using anything at all on your skin’.
She said that small amounts of dermal filler should be spread evenly across the face. This is why it’s important to schedule more appointments.
“This is the thing that our clients love about The Cosmetic Lounge. They don’t try to convince them that they need too much. We create a plan, and we always recommend that you have less than is necessary. If it’s not enough, we can come back for more. My first timers like me to tell them that this will be a long journey and that they can take it as slow or fast as they want.
She said that’small amounts of dermal filler should be spread over the entire face, and it is important to have more appointments’ (pictured: client TikToker Jessie Renee Wynter).
It is important to get to know the person who injects your face. You can also see their work before you visit.
“Look at their before and afters on social media. Make sure that the work isn’t edited and consistent. Review reviews. You can’t please everybody, but if they are good enough I would feel confident that this is a safe area to visit.
“As with all treatments, start with a small amount. It is important that the treatment be effective. However, you can discuss other options with your injector to decide what you are comfortable with. An injector who is skilled in providing options should be able to explain the benefits of each option.
