Everyone's Looking Younger These Days

By Melinda Croning

Looking younger and well rested is what we all want. Plastic surgeons help patients regain their youthful appearance - without having to undergo surgery - by using injectables and skin treatments. 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.

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. 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.

Patients may opt for non-invasive alternatives rather than surgery for a variety of reasons. Primarily, most of these treatments are very affordable. While surgery may be out of your budget, injectables or surface treatments are relatively inexpensive. Also, there is little to no downtime needed for recovery. Taking time off work can be difficult, as those of with jobs know. Patients are able to immediately return to their normal routine, as most of these procedures are done in very little time at the office. Finally, there is the reduced risk and the safety factor. Compared to surgery, this type of cosmetic procedure presents very few complications. And if you do not like the results, they do wear off with time.

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. Laser treatments and chemical peels are surface treatments that target wrinkle reduction. Patients' most popular non-invasive treatment 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 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. 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.

Facial fillers are used to plump the skin and replace volume that is lost due to the natural process of aging. These injectables smooth wrinkles and restore the youthful contour of your face.

Another popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure that helps to reduce the signs of aging is laser treatment. 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. This procedure creates younger, smoother skin by using a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of your skin. The look of sun-damaged skin can be improved, as well as wrinkles, freckles, scars, and fine lines.

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