0 It's okay to look Younger Than your Real Age

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. 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.

These days, everyone freely admits if they have had cosmetic surgery, but not long ago it was seen to be embarrassing to admit to having cosmetic surgery of any kind - the world has changed dramatically. 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. While the results are often temporary, these procedures are very effective in the short term.

For a variety of reasons, patients may choose non-invasive alternatives over surgery. Primarily, most of these treatments are very affordable. While surgery may be out of your budget, injectables or surface treatments are relatively inexpensive. Second, recovery requires little to no downtime. 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. The safety factor and the reduced risk are also factors. 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.

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. 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. Within days, the apparent results are dramatic. The best part is, patients are able to return to normal activity almost immediately after receiving the injections.

Facial fillers are used to plump the skin and replace volume that is lost due to the natural process of aging. 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. Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that smooths the facial skin and in some cases, can improve the firmness of 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. It can improve the look of freckles, scars, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sun-damaged skin.

There are a variety of cosmetic procedures. 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.
