Lisa Topham RN, BSN; Turning Back the Clock Needle in Hand
 |
| Lisa Topham RN, BSN Director of Split Rock Asethetic Institute |
Back in November, I had the opportunity to attend an evening seminar with Lisa Topham RN, BSN at her satellite office in Greenwich, Ct. I sat rapt, with a room full of women, as Lisa filled us in on all the latest fillers, including what has become the star of her anti-aging arsenal, Bellafill the five year filler. Lisa, is an aesthetic perfectionist, and having practiced nothing but the art of anti-aging with injectibles for the last 30 years. Suffice to say, she has seen and done it all. What we couldn't take our eyes off, was the screen of Before and After's that documented all she can achieve, non-invasively. It was nothing short of remarkable! (Click here to read my original post).
There comes a time in every woman's life, when she starts noticing the visible signs of aging; fine lines, wrinkles, loss of collagen volume and sagging jawlines. Ever notice how great you look with a tight towel turban post shampoo? All of a sudden, everything is where it used to be! Nothing crazy, just a slight uptick, but it does seem to shave the years off.
Where Lisa has seen the biggest growth in her business, is with busy, women who don't want to set the clock back 20 years, but just want to look fresh and youthful. A whole other sector is of more mature women, who will not undergo plastic surgery, PERIOD. Their goals are realistic. Nothing will achieve more visible and long lasting results than a full or partial facelift, but they are comfortable with doing the next best thing, having Lisa Topham evaluate the areas that can be dramatically improved, without a scalpel.
Before After
 |
50 year old patient, treated with Bellafill, Restalyne (nasal fobial area) and Restalyne Silk in her lips |
Notice the improvement in overall youthful volume; the lifted cheekbones, jawline and upturned mouth. Gone are the deeper lines forming from her nose to her lips. Also attractive? The addition of a tasteful amount of lip filler, nothing cartoonish here, but a simple addition of the lost volume in her natural lip area.
Not only is the patient thrilled with her subtle, beautiful results, with no downtime, but her husband is also very pleased...who said men never notice anything? Granted, there is some bruising associated with injectibles, but short of vanity, unlike a surgical recovery, there is nothing to keep you from pursuing normal activities.
After attending Lisa's seminar, I decided to have my own consultation with her. We had a thoughtful conversation and I told Lisa my areas of concern. She then took pictures and posted them on her computer, so she could show me which areas of my face she thought needed attention and what exactly she could do to improve them. Depending on your budget, you can prioritize which areas to address first, or if available to you, achieve all your goals at the same time.
Before After
 |
| Results were achieved with Bellafill ( interestingly, my upper lip looks fuller in the After's. That my Lovelies is nothing more than liner and gloss) |
What bothered me most, was my jawline. Gravity, mother e
I could not be happier with my results!
I am sharing them with you, because I truly believe a picture is worth a thousand words. I am not saying I would never go under the knife...who knows how I will feel in 5 years or so. But if it's possible to achieve lovely, natural looking results without anesthesia, discomfort, swelling and downtime, I'm down.
In addition to Botox, Bellafill, Restalyne, Restalyne Silk and other fillers, . Lisa and her team also perform Ultherapy, and have lasers that diminish sun damage and spider veins. Her latest??? Microtox, a diluted Botox solution, that, "shrink wraps" the neck! I have the feeling it's going to be hotly requested...necks, can be a nag.
So my Lovelies, for those of you who live in the East, I am delighted to share this treasure of a resource with you. Lisa sees patients at both her Greenwich office at 116 Mason St. and at Split Rock Aesthetic Institute in Wilton Ct. Appointments can be booked at the same number 203-831-8029. When you book your appointment, please let them know you were referred by DivaDebbi.
For those in other states or countries, I do recommend the website called RealSelf.com. Actual patients rate and refer Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists who specialize in a wide spectrum of procedures. Always do your homework on any practitioner, and whenever possible, take advice from someone whose results you can see for yourself. This is also not the place to penny pinch...you do get what you pay for and generally you pay for experience and a stellar reputation.
We are a generation of fit, fabulous women. If taking advantage of modern anti-aging techniques helps make your biological age better align with the age you feel, so be it. If you choose to age naturally and live a healthy lifestyle, so be it, as well.
Just be well. I'm fairly certain, judgement causes wrinkles :)...
xox,
DD

Today's Ulta Haul
It's tough living 45 minutes from the nearest Ulta store. I'm always hoping they'll put one in my local area but for now, I have to deal with going once every couple of months. It's been waaay too long, so I convinced my husband to go with me today (he's such a good sport!). During today's trip, I ended up getting all brand new products and and I'm so excited to try them all! Let's take a look...
1. Nyx Strobe of Genius Palette ($18.99)- Last time I went to Ulta they were all sold out of this palette and today I ended up getting the last one in the display. I'm so excited to try this because I've heard great things about it!
2. Living Proof Timeless Pre Shampoo Treatment ($10 for 2oz)- Timeless is Living Proof's new line for "aging" hair. At 38 years old, my hair is definitely thinner and duller than it used to be so I'm really interested to see how this line works. I decided to start with the Pre Shampoo Treatment, which can be used 5-10 minutes before shampooing or even the night before like an overnight mask. If I like it, I'll probably spring for the shampoo and conditioner next.
3. Laura Geller Baked Radiant Setting Powder ($32)- Color correcting products are huge right now, and I spotted this finishing powder that contains all different colored pigments in one compact on a big display in the middle of the aisle. I tried a bit of the tester on my hand and was impressed by how it added a beautiful radiant glow to my skin, like it was lit from within. I can't wait to try it, especially as an under eye setting powder!
4. Kardashian Beauty Hair Shampoo & Conditioner (not yet online)- I'm not a big Kardashian fan but I have to admit that their hair styling products are pretty amazing (they're made by Farouk...same company that makes CHI and Biosilk). I've been hoping they would add a shampoo and conditioner to the line so when I saw these, I couldn't resist! Fingers crossed they are as great as the styling products!
5. IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara ($24)- I'm such a big fan of IT Cosmetics...they rarely make a product I don't like and their Hello Lashes is one of my favorite mascaras ever. So it was only natural that I pick their newest formula to try!
What was in your latest Ulta haul? I'd also love to know which of these products you'd like to see me review! Drop me a comment and let me know! :)

Bri Polishes - Gold Rush, Silver Sand, Blush - Swatches
Pink and glitter work so well together, totally girly and blingy!
I have three polishes from Love Bri Products to share with you girls. They are Gold Rush, Silver Sand, and Blush. I enjoy using these polishes because they are 5 free.

| Bri Polishes - Gold Rush, Silver Sand, Blush - Swatches |
Gold Rush and Silver Sand are glitter polishes while Blush is a cream polish.

| Bri Polishes - Gold Rush, Silver Sand, Blush - Swatches |
The glitter polishes are full of tiny glitter in a clear base. You need at least 3 coats if you want to cover your nail. With a single coat you can use them both as glitter toppers over any polish of your choice.

Recent HauteLook Haul- The Balm Cosmetics
If you haven't joined HauteLook yet, then you're missing out on some great beauty deals! It's one of my favorite sites to save tons of money on makeup...sometimes up to 80% off. The downsides are that it requires some patience waiting for the brands you want to go on sale and also shipping often takes a few weeks, but if you can deal with that, you can get some amazing bargains. I recently picked up a few items from The Balm Cosmetics sale at the end of January and they arrived today. Let's take a look!
I've been wanting the Meet Matt(e) Nude palette forever, but it was hard to justify spending $42 on a palette when I have so many. I couldn't pass it up this time though...it was only $21!
Also, The Balm's blushes are to-die-for...I've owned a few in travel sizes that I got in my Ipsy bag and Birchbox but have always wanted the full sizes. I was able to get these for only $10 each (regularly $20-$21).
I know these aren't new items, but if you'd like to see swatches/reviews, let me know in the comments below! :)
And if you haven't joined HauteLook yet, you can check it out here...it's actually owned by Nordstrom. Right now they have a Stila sale going on, with items up to 75% off!
