Cosmetic Procedures The New Normal

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.

Not that long ago it was seen to be embarrassing to admit to having cosmetic surgery of any kind but in today's world things have changed so dramatically that everyone freely admits that they have had cosmetic surgery. One of the fastest growing areas of plastic surgery is non-surgical procedures. Non-invasive procedures focus on the troublesome areas of the body and face that might make you look tired and old. These procedures are very effective in the short term, although the results are often temporary.

For a variety of reasons, patients may choose non-invasive alternatives over surgery. The affordability of these treatments is a prime concern. Injectables or surface treatments are relatively inexpensive, while surgery may be out of your budget. Second, recovery requires little to no downtime. Those of us with jobs know how difficult it can be to get time off of work. Most of these procedures are done in very little time at the office and patients are able to immediately return to their normal routine. Finally, there is the reduced risk and the safety factor. Compared to surgery, this type of cosmetic procedure presents very few complications. And if you do not like the results, they do wear off with time.

Injectables and surface treatments are the two main types of non-invasive procedures. Injectables are usually employed to reduce wrinkles and fine lines by plumping up the face. Surface treatments, which include laser treatments and chemical peels, target wrinkle reduction. Patients' most popular non-invasive treatment 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. 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.

By plumping the skin, facial fillers replace volume that is lost due to the natural process of aging. These injectables smooth wrinkles and restore the youthful contour of your face.

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

A chemical peel evens out skin tone affected by age, sun damage, or acne. By using a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of your skin, this procedure creates younger, smoother skin. It can improve the look of freckles, scars, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sun-damaged skin.

There are a variety of cosmetic procedures. Evidently, there are many ways to make you feel more beautiful and look younger. It's great news that you don't have to break the bank to have a treatment.
