With non-surgical cosmetic treatments more accessible and affordable than ever, it’s no surprise they’ve become so popular.
Designed to refresh your features and enhance natural beauty, and due to the fact that no surgery is required, aesthetic treatments are a pain-free and simple answer to your cosmetic needs.
Whether it’s laser hair removal or lip injections, there is an aesthetic treatment out there for almost everyone – so we’ve taken a look at some of the more popular.
Botulinum toxin injections relax the muscles in your face to smooth out lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines.
They work by blocking certain chemical signals from nerves, mostly signals that cause muscles to contract.
The procedure is extremely effective, so much so that it can be used to carry out what’s known as a non-surgical eye lift – a treatment that gives the eyes the appearance of being lifted without surgical intervention.
Contrary to popular belief, dermal fillers aren’t just effective for lip-plumping as these injectables have a wide range of uses, and are a big part of both non-surgical facelifts and non-surgical nose jobs.
Dermal fillers are made using hyaluronic acid which is a natural component of the skin and can help to add volume, structure and definition to our features.
The filler is injected into the skin at different depths to help fill in facial wrinkles, provide facial volume, and augment facial features: restoring a smoother appearance.
A non-surgical nose job is performed using injectable hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Yvoire.
Results are not permanent, though this popular nose job treatment is perfect for people who wish to smooth out bridge bumps or create nostril symmetry.
Non-surgical nose jobs can’t reduce the size of the nose, so people who want smaller noses may not find this treatment worthwhile.
These are ever popular for transforming, not just lips, but the way faces look in general.
Injectables can contain commercial hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm, or fat that is removed from one’s own body.
After a topical numbing agent is applied to the area, the filler is injected in and around the lips and some normal activities can be resumed immediately.
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses fine crystals and a vacuum to remove dead skin cells and can be used on the face, neck, chest, back and hands.
Treatments typically involve using a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin in order to remove the thicker, uneven outer layer.
It rejuvenates the skin gently, and is useful in managing skin scarring and sun damage – reducing the appearance of stretch marks and dark pigmentation of the skin.
This simple procedure removes fine hair using lasers which are targeted at the root of each unwanted hair follicle, destroying the melanin pigment that normally stimulates hair growth.
There are a number of different lasers available that can be used to treat excessive facial or body hair, and the commonly used ones include Nd:Yag laser and Intense Pulsed Light.
The procedure is fairly straightforward and involves gently running a device that has a number of micro-crystals on its surface on the skin, gently removing dead cells and providing a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
