Successful Weight Loss

It's okay to look Younger Than your Real Age

By Melinda Croning


Everyone wants to look well rested and more youthful. By using skin treatments and injectables, plastic surgeons help patients avoid surgery and still regain their youthful appearance. 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. In the field of plastic surgery, non-surgical procedures are one of the fastest growing areas. Non-invasive procedures target the problematic areas of the face and body that may make you look old and tired. Although they often provide temporary results, in the short term these procedures are very effective.

For a variety of reasons, patients may choose non-invasive alternatives over surgery. First of all, 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. Those of us with jobs know how difficult it can be to get time off of work. Most of these procedures are done at the office in a short time and patients can go right back 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. 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. Typically, injectables are used to plump up the face in an effort to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Laser treatments and chemical peels are surface treatments that 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.

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. 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.

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

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. This procedure creates younger, smoother skin by using a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of your skin. It can improve the look of freckles, scars, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sun-damaged skin.

Cosmetic procedures vary. Clearly, there are many ways to make you look younger and feel more beautiful. The good news is that you no longer have to break the bank to get your own treatment.
