Cosmetic Procedures The New Normal

By Melinda Croning


We all want to look younger and well rested. Plastic surgeons help patients regain their youthful appearance - without having to undergo surgery - by using injectables and skin treatments. 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-invasive procedures target the problematic areas of the face and body that may make you look old and tired. 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. First of all, 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. 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. 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.

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. Laser treatments and chemical peels are surface treatments that target wrinkle reduction. 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 lines between your brows that develop over time - those deep, persistent lines. 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.

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.

Chemical peels will even out skin tone affected by acne, age, or sun damage. Younger, smoother skin is created by this procedure which uses a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of your skin. The look of wrinkles, freckles, scars, fine lines and sun-damage can all be improved by this procedure.

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.
