Cosmetic Procedures Now the Norm

By Melinda Croning


Everyone wants to look well rested and more youthful. Plastic surgeons help patients regain their youthful appearance - without having to undergo surgery - by using injectables and skin treatments. Patients who do not want the risk of complications or recovery time required for more invasive plastic surgery treatments find that non-invasive cosmetic procedures are a desirable way to improve their appearance.

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. In the field of plastic surgery, non-surgical procedures are one of the fastest growing areas. Non-invasive procedures focus on the troublesome areas of the body and face that might make you look tired and old. While the results are often temporary, these procedures are very effective in the short term.

For a variety of reasons, patients may choose non-invasive alternatives over surgery. Primarily, most of these treatments are very affordable. Surgery may be expensive, while injectables or surface treatments are within your budget. Also, there is little to no downtime needed for recovery. It can be difficult to get time off of work, as those of us with jobs know all too well. Patients are able to immediately return to their normal routine, as most of these procedures are done in very little time at the office. And then there is the safety factor and the reduced risk. This type of cosmetic procedure presents very few complications as compared to surgery. The results eventually wear off if you are not happy with them.

Non-invasive procedures involve two main types: injectables and surface treatments. In an effort to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, injectables are typically used to plump up the face. Surface treatments, like laser treatment and chemical peels, reduce wrinkles. The most popular non-invasive treatment choice for patients is Botox. It is a natural, purified protein that is injected into the brow area where facial lines and wrinkles exist.

The deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop over time are smoothed by physicians when they use it. With only a few tiny injections, the facial muscles that cause those lines to form will relax for up to four months. Dramatic and apparent results appear within days. Even better is the fact that patients can go back to normal activity almost immediately after receiving the injections.

By plumping the skin, facial fillers replace volume that is lost due to the natural process of aging. Wrinkles are smoothed and the youthful contour of your face is restored by these injectables.

Laser treatments are another popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure that helps to reduce the signs of aging. Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that smooths the facial skin and in some cases, can improve the firmness of skin.

Chemical peels will even out skin tone affected by acne, age, or sun damage. This procedure creates younger, smoother skin by using a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of your skin. The look of sun-damaged skin can be improved, as well as wrinkles, freckles, scars, and fine lines.

Cosmetic procedures are varied. Clearly, there are many ways to make you look younger and feel more beautiful. It's great news that you don't have to break the bank to have a treatment.
