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. 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. 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. First of all, most of these treatments are very affordable. Injectables or surface treatments are relatively inexpensive, while surgery may be out of your budget. Also, there is little to no downtime needed for recovery. Taking time off work can be difficult, as those of with jobs know. 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. Compared to surgery, this type of cosmetic procedure presents very few complications. The results eventually wear off if you are not happy with them.

Non-invasive procedures involve two main types: injectables and surface treatments. In an effort to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, injectables are typically used to plump up the face. Surface treatments, like laser treatment and chemical peels, reduce wrinkles. Patients' most popular non-invasive treatment 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 deep, persistent lines between your brows that develop over time. Just a few small injections cause the facial muscles that form those lines to relax, for up to four months. Dramatic and apparent results appear 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 restore the youthful contour of your face and smooth wrinkles.

Laser treatments help reduce the signs of aging, and are another popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure. 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. 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.

There are a variety of cosmetic procedures. It is clear that there are many means to make you look and feel more beautiful and youthful. It's great news that you don't have to break the bank to have a treatment.
