- [Longevity of Most Popular Plastic Surgery Procedures](https://www.longevita.co.uk/blog/plastic-surgery-longevity/): If you are going under the knife, you should know whether the results will be long-lasting or temporary. It's usually believed that injectables are temporary, whereas any surgical procedure that disrupts the skin barrier, even slightly, is likely to have long-lasting results. However, that’s not always the case. A number of factors contribute to the longevity of cosmetic surgery results, including: 
- [Maximise Your Income By Making Your Face Symmetrical](https://www.longevita.co.uk/blog/facial-symmetry-affects-income/): The unconscious bias to symmetry is justified by evolutionary forces. Health, fitness, and good genes are associated with facial symmetry. It also skews perception. Such people are considered more intelligent, confident, and extroverted. But that’s old news. 
- [How Much Is Too Much When It Comes To The Fillers?](https://www.longevita.co.uk/blog/overusing-dermal-fillers/): Dermal fillers are temporary, and you need maintenance injections to retain the results. Although it’s said that they last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, their longevity can depend on the type of filler, the area where it’s injected, the amount of filler and the body’s metabolism. However, assuming that their filler has dissolved after 6 months or 2 years, many people end up getting new fillers. This is even if the previous one has not yet fully dissolved.  
- [Facial Exercises May Age You Forward Instead of Backward](https://www.longevita.co.uk/blog/facial-exercises-and-ageing/): Facial ageing occurs when collagen and elastin production decreases, fat is displaced and lost, and muscles shrink and lose tone. However, we know that exercises can help increase muscle mass. Increased muscle strength can also prevent drooping by keeping fat pockets in place. So, facial exercises have the potential to improve the signs of ageing on the face. 
- [UK Inflation To Slow Down The Growth of The Cosmetic Industry](https://www.longevita.co.uk/blog/uk-inflation-effects-on-cosmetic-industry/): Inflation causes consumers to slash spending on nonessential purchases, which includes beauty and personal care. Purchasing power is reduced so people have no choice but to stick to essentials, the cost of which is also increasing. This also forces many small businesses to close. Travel and entertainment do not qualify as essential expenses. Therefore, heading to another country for cosmetic surgery is improbable. 
- [Harmful Effects Of EMS Ab Stimulators](https://www.longevita.co.uk/blog/ab-stimulators-harmful-effects/): In order to lose weight, you need to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

## Guides
- [Eyebrow Hair Transplant: What It Can Restore, And What It Can’t](https://www.longevita.co.uk/guides/eyebrow-hair-transplant/): An eyebrow hair transplant moves individual follicles, almost always taken from the back or sides of your own scalp, into the brow, one at a time, at a very flat angle. It restores hair to areas where follicles are missing or no longer producing, and the hair that grows is your own and behaves as your own. What it does not do is treat whatever removed the original hair. It also cannot exceed a fairly modest density ceiling, and because the donor hair comes from your head, it keeps growing to head-hair length and needs trimming for as long as you have it.
- [Stem Cell Hair Transplant: What The Evidence Actually Shows](https://www.longevita.co.uk/guides/stem-cell-hair-transplant/): Key Takeaways:
- [Hair Types And Hair Transplant Suitability: What Actually Matters](https://www.longevita.co.uk/guides/hair-types-and-hair-transplant-suitability/): Key Takeaways:
- [Synthetic (Biofibre) Hair Transplant](https://www.longevita.co.uk/guides/synthetic-biofibre-hair-transplant/): A synthetic (biofibre) hair transplant is not a hair transplant. Nothing is moved from one part of your head to another, and nothing grows. Polyamide fibres are pushed into the scalp and held there by a small knot under the skin, giving you density on the day of the procedure. The fibres are foreign material sitting permanently in living tissue, the body responds to them. Because they do not grow, they are never replaced by your own hair when they come out. 
- [The Norwood Scale: The 7 Stages Of Male Pattern Hair Loss](https://www.longevita.co.uk/guides/the-norwood-scale/): The Norwood scale is a picture chart, not a test. It describes the shape your hair loss has taken and how far it has gone, using seven numbered stages plus a set of variants. It cannot tell you why you are losing hair, how fast you will lose more, or how much donor hair you have. Those three questions decide what happens next, and none of them is answered by a number. That is worth saying at the start, because the scale is used online as though it were a diagnosis. It is a shorthand. Used properly it makes a consultation faster and clearer. Used on its own it produces a lot of confident wrong conclusions.
