You don't need to "age gracefully"

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 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.

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. 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. While the results are often temporary, these procedures are very effective in the short term.

There are many reasons that patients may opt for non-invasive alternatives rather than surgery. First of all, most of these treatments are very affordable. Surgery may be expensive, while injectables or surface treatments are within your budget. Secondly, 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. Most of these procedures are done in very little time at the office and patients are able to immediately return to their normal routine. The safety factor and the reduced risk are also factors. There are very few complications associated with this type of cosmetic procedure as compared to surgery. And if you are not happy with the results, they will eventually wear off.

Injectables and surface treatments are the two main types of non-invasive procedures. 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. A purified, natural protein, it is injected into the brow area where facial lines and wrinkles exist.

Physicians use it to smooth the deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop over time. Just a few small injections cause the facial muscles that form those lines to relax, for up to four months. The results are dramatic and apparent within days. The best part is, patients are able to return 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. 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.

Chemical peels will even out skin tone affected by acne, age, or sun damage. By using a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of your skin, this procedure creates younger, smoother 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.
