Look Better in Zoom Meetings

7 Ways to Look Better in Zoom Meetings

Thanks to the pandemic, many businesses have converted their business model to include remote meetings via Zoom and other video conferencing services. As a result, many people are now finding themselves “on camera” and being regularly videoed. And whether you are a participant or a presenter being on screen – up close and personal – can make one acutely aware of their appearance.

So, businessmen and women and men are becoming increasingly concerned about how they look on camera. And many of our patients are coming to us and asking, “How can I look better on Camera in Zoom meetings?”

In this article the aesthetic experts at Advanced Laser Spa discuss both “camera tricks” and aesthetic treatments that can make you appear younger and more attractive on camera and off!

3 Camera Tricks to Look Better in Zoom Meetings

First, let’s first start with some easy camera tricks to look thinner and younger on video conferencing platforms.

#1. Place Camera at Eye Level in Zoom Meetings

When the camera is below you, and angled up, everyone sees the underside of your chin, which makes one look heavier and is rarely a flattering angle.

Lower your chair or elevate the camera to ensure you are looking straight at the camera.

#2. Sit at a slight angle to the camera in Zoom Meetings

Most people sit facing the camera directly head on in Zoom meetings – often even leaning back slightly in their chair. This head-on angle makes the face and body look wider. And leaning back in the chair further accentuates the belly and the chin.

Instead, placing the face and body at a 45-degree angle to the camera is slimming and more flattering. And sitting up straight while pressing the shoulder back will help elongate the neck and make the face look slimmer.

#3. Tilt the forehead slightly forward in Zoom Meetings

Tilting the forehead slightly forward is a photographers’ “trick” that also works well in video conferencing. This makes the face look longer and less round or square. This can also cast a shadow on the chin, which helps conceal a double chin, jowls or fat beneath the jaw.

4 Aesthetic Treatments to Look Better in Zoom Meetings

#4. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion “refinishes” the top layers of the skin giving the face a dramatically smoother appearance. Microdermabrasion makes wrinkles less visible, resurfaces acne scars, diminishes the appearance of pores, and removes dark spots from pigmented or sun damaged skin cells.

Crystals are used to exfoliate and polish the outer layer of the skin, after which the appropriate skin care products are applied to cleanse, nourish, hydrate and brighten skin.

#5. Dermal Facial Fillers (Juvéderm® & Restylane®)

Dermal fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane also offer a quick way to remedy a variety of facial concerns.

Facial fillers can take years off of one’s appearance by:

• Plumping and defining thin lips
• Enhancing shallow facial contours
• Filling facial creases and wrinkles
• Improving the appearance of scars
• Adding volume to the cheeks and jawline

#6. Botox

Botox, and similar injectable product Dysport, can be used to reduce or eliminate the lines and furrows commonly found on the forehead and between the eyes, as well as to reduce “crow’s feet”.

Botox works by effectively blocking the nerve signals to specifically targeted muscles in the face. This causes the muscle to relax – which reduces the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, taking years off of a man or woman’s appearance.

Botox injections work almost immediately with the effects becoming visible in just a few hours – developing into full results in less than a week.

#7. Matrix Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

Matrix Radiofrequency (RF) improves the texture of skin, in addition to tightening, firming and lifting the face. Controlled pulses of RF energy are applied to the skin to stimulate renewed production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

While Matrix RF results are not as immediate as injectables – developing over the next several weeks – the results are both natural looking and long lasting. Matrix RF is safe for all skin types and all areas of the face, except the eyelids and lips.
