Cosmetic Procedures The New Normal
By Melinda Croning
Looking younger and well rested is what we all want. By using skin treatments and injectables, plastic surgeons help patients avoid surgery and still regain their youthful appearance. Patients who want to improve their appearance without the risk of complications or recovery time needed with more invasive plastic surgery treatments find non-invasive cosmetic procedures appealing.
Cosmetic surgery of any kind used to be an embarrassment, but in today's world things have changed so dramatically that people readily admit that they have had cosmetic surgery. Non-surgical procedures are one of the fastest growing areas of plastic surgery. Non-surgical procedures focus on the troublesome areas of the face and body that might make you look old and tired. These procedures are very effective in the short term, although the results are often temporary.
There are many reasons that patients may opt for non-invasive alternatives rather than surgery. The affordability of these treatments is a prime concern. While surgery may be out of your budget, injectables or surface treatments are relatively inexpensive. Secondly, there is little to no downtime needed for recovery. Taking time off work can be difficult, as those of with jobs know. Most of these procedures are done in very little time at the office and patients are able to immediately return to their normal routine. And then there is the safety factor and the reduced risk. There are very few complications associated with this type of cosmetic procedure as compared to surgery. And if you do not like the results, they do wear off with time.
The two main types of non-invasive procedures include injectables and surface treatments. Typically, injectables are used to plump up the face in an effort to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Surface treatments, like laser treatment and chemical peels, reduce wrinkles. The most popular non-invasive treatment choice for patients is Botox. Injected into the brow area where facial lines and wrinkles exist, it is simply a natural, purified protein.
Physicians use it to smooth the deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop over time. With only a few tiny injections, the facial muscles that cause those lines to form will relax for up to four months. The results are dramatic and apparent within days. Even better is the fact that patients can go back to normal activity almost immediately after receiving the injections.
The natural process of aging causes skin to lose volume; facial fillers are used to replace it by plumping the skin. Wrinkles are smoothed and the youthful contour of your face is restored by these injectables.
Another popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure that helps to reduce the signs of aging is laser treatment. One procedure that smooths the facial skin and in some cases, can improve the firmness of skin, is called laser skin resurfacing.
A chemical peel evens out skin tone affected by age, sun damage, or acne. Younger, smoother skin is created by this procedure which uses a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of your skin. It can improve the look of freckles, scars, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sun-damaged skin.
Cosmetic procedures vary. Evidently, there are many ways to make you feel more beautiful and look younger. The good news is that you no longer have to break the bank to get your own treatment.
