Everyone's Looking Younger These Days

By Melinda Croning


Looking younger and well rested is what we all want. By using skin treatments and injectables, plastic surgeons help patients avoid surgery and still regain their youthful appearance. 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. One of the fastest growing areas of plastic surgery is non-surgical procedures. 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. The affordability of these treatments is a prime concern. Surgery may be expensive, while injectables or surface treatments are within 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. Patients are able to immediately return to their normal routine, as most of these procedures are done in very little time at the office. And then there is the safety factor and the reduced risk. 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.

Non-invasive procedures involve two main types: injectables and surface treatments. Typically, injectables are used to plump up the face in an effort to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Surface treatments, like laser treatment and chemical peels, reduce wrinkles. The most popular non-invasive treatment choice for patients 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. Dramatic and apparent results appear within days. 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 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. One procedure that smooths the facial skin and in some cases, can improve the firmness of skin, is called laser skin resurfacing.

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. It can improve the look of freckles, scars, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sun-damaged skin.

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