6 Non-Invasive Operations for Facial Rejuvenation
Although there can be a risk associated with any type of medical procedure, an increasing
number of people are turning toward non-surgical cosmetic treatments as a way of enhancing their appearances while reducing associated risks and recovery times.
Non-surgical facial treatments can provide many of the benefits of plastic surgery without the need to go through any type of invasive procedure. Plastic surgeons are now able to offer a variety of different methods that are completely non-invasive.
Continue reading for a brief description of 6 of the most popular non-invasive operations for facial rejuvenation.
1. Botox
Botox is now one of the most popular facial treatments for reducing wrinkles and facial lines that are frequently caused by stress, aging, ecological factors and worry. A skin injection using Botox can help to smooth frown lines between the eyes, on the forehead and at the base near the nose.
2. Fillers
Cosmetic dermal fillers are facial treatments that are commonly used for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, facial folds and lines. These procedures are known for producing long-lasting results without the need for a more invasive procedure, such as a facelift.
3. Facial Peel
A chemical peel is another type of non-invasive procedure that actually dates back to the ancient days of Rome, Greece and Egypt. This facial treatment results in skin that is smoother and more beautiful. Chemical peels are increasingly popular today because they provide almost instant results and can be performed on an outpatient basis. Patients who wish to eliminate or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, uneven pigmentation and acne scarring may find a chemical peel to be beneficial.
4. Microdermabrasion
This treatment can be helpful in improving mild to even moderate sun damage as well as wrinkles, scarring and other problems of the skin that is superficial in nature. A gentle stream of extremely fine particles is used to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin only, resulting in an appearance that is flowing, fresh and younger looking. It is important to note that only a small portion of the skin is actually removed. This allows even areas of the skin that are traditionally more sensitive, such as the face, neck, chest, hands and arms to be treated.
5. Laser Hair Removal
This treatment is an effective and gentle method that can be used for reducing unwanted hair permanently from practically any area of the body. Laser light is used to remove hair easily and almost painlessly. The laser's heat energy passes through the surface of the skin to the hair follicles beneath where the hair growth process actually begins. The heat of the laser will then damage the hair follicle and inhibit new growth.
6. Laser Skin Resurfacing
This type of non-invasive procedure can also help improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by removing outer layers of the skin that have become damaged, thus revealing softer and smoother skin. This form of treatment can be used for reducing the appearance of abnormal pigmentation as well as acne scarring. Laser resurfacing can be a good option if you have noticed the signs of aging and would like to correct those signs or other skin imperfections.
As you can see, mild issues with your facial appearance and skin can be easily addressed through non-invasive treatments. These treatments do not require anesthesia and can be completed with a quick visit to your cosmetic surgeon's office.
Convenience and quick treatment is why many people choose these types of procedures.
If you have facial wrinkles, fine lines, unwanted hair or damage from sun exposure, the above 6 treatments can help. Finding the right treatment though requires consultation with a facial cosmetic surgeon. More severe cases though may require surgery in order to adequately address your issue.
