You don't need to "age gracefully"

By Melinda Croning


Looking younger and well rested is what we all want. With injectables and skin treatments, plastic surgeons help patients regain their youthful appearance without having to undergo surgery. Non-invasive cosmetic procedures appeal to those patients who want to improve their appearance without the risk of complications or recovery time needed with more invasive plastic surgery treatments.

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. 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. 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. Primarily, most of these treatments are very affordable. 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. 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 at the office in a short time and patients can go right back 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. The results eventually wear off if you are not happy with them.

The two main types of non-invasive procedures include injectables and surface treatments. In an effort to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, injectables are typically used to plump 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. The facial muscles that cause those lines to form will relax for up to four months with only a few tiny injections. Within days, the apparent results are dramatic. Patients are able to return to normal activity almost immediately after receiving the injections - this is the best part.

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. 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. 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. It is clear that there are many means to make you look and feel more beautiful and youthful. It's great news that you don't have to break the bank to have a treatment.
