The popularity with non-surgical procedures increases every day. People want younger, fresher looking skin but they don’t want to go under the knife nor do they want to spend the big bucks for plastic surgery. The solution? Non-surgical procedures that will give them the best bang for their buck. If that is something that you’re looking for then read on.
Minimally invasive procedures are essentially already the best bang for your buck to some people who want younger, fresh skin without the down time, side effects, pain, or the cost of traditional plastic surgery. The tools, technology and technique of non-surgical, non-invasive treatments are advancing every day; because of this is it incredibly easy to get two treatments in the same day! Unlike traditional plastic surgery where you can receive a tummy tuck then have to wait 3 months to get a chin lift just to be able to deal with the pain associated with plastic surgery. However, information is power. It is always important to know and be knowledgeable about the treatments and procedures being performed on your body. If you walk in to a medical spa or plastic surgery office with the most information then you will be in the best position to get the best treatment for the price. Here is a quick guide to the most common non-surgical and non-invasive treatment:
Injectables and dermal fillers are the most received treatment and are the top two nonsurgical procedures performed in 2012. Injectables include botox and dysport while dermal fillers include juvederm, radiesse, perlane and restylane.
Who is a candidate for facial injections?
Most people who search to have injectable or dermal filler treatments are age 35 and older; however, you can have dermal injections at any age to correct injuries, acne, scarring, facial depressions and many other conditions. Botox has also been FDA approved to treat migraines and also severe sweating in the underarms.
What can injections do?
Facial injections can remedy all types of imperfections on your face that come from aging. From wrinkles to sagging eyebrows and acne scars to thinning lips, injectables are used to solve many aging issues. Facial injections are so popular because of their wide variety of areas they treat, their effectiveness, and their cost. Injectables can treat specific problem areas such as wrinkles, folds (smile and laugh lines), marionette lines, thinning lips, vertical lip lines, receding lip border, cheek and other facial depressions, dropping ear lobes, loose skin at the jawline, sagging eyebrows, hollows under your eyes, and even acne scars.
Recovery and results?
Results from dermal fillers and injectables are immediate and in some cases can improve over time especially with continued treatment. You will find that the effects of dermal fillers and injections can last at least 6 months to a year. Some patients find that they need less of the injections and still achieve long lasting results. Complications and pain from dermal fillers and injections are mild and usually last no more than a week. These complications can include redness, firmness, swelling, lumps, itching, discoloration, and potential bruising.
Why are dermal fillers and injectables the best bang for my buck?
One of the main reasons why these treatments are so popular is because they are so cheap and are proven to be effective. Because they are widely available, medical spas and plastic surgery clinics will offer injectable treatments at discounted prices. However, this is also where they can be dangerous as many people will scalp injections on the street or advertise them in their homes. Do not allow anyone to perform any treatment on you unless they are licensed or certified injectors and belong to a certified plastic surgery clinic or medical spa.
