5 Cosmetic Procedures To Improve Appearance Without Surgery

By Kris T. Larsson


No one really wants to go under the knife? Do they?

There are a variety of procedures that will improve skin's appearance, without invasive surgery. You can get a new look with little discomfort or downtime. Each procedure is appropriate, depending on each individual's unique problem or concern. You can keep your skin looking healthy and young for a long time by addressing problems before they get out of hand.

Chemical Peels

This procedure removes the outer layers of damaged skin, leaving it soft and smooth. Fresh, young skin is left after the peel scrubs the outer layer of skin. This reduces the amount of wrinkles and uneven pigmentation and can even improve adult acne.

Botox

Botox is a deceivingly simple procedure; sometimes patients forget that it really requires an experienced injector to do it well. In the forehead, Botox will relax the muscles. An injector who is experienced will be able to give a good lift to the eyebrows, create a full upper lip, soften any downturned corners of the mouth, remove fine lines around the eyes, et cetera.Injections scheduled every 3-4 months can make wrinkles disappear and even stop fine lines from appearing.

Cosmetic Fillers- Juvederm and others

Cosmetic Fillers are injectable, but are not the same as Botox. Botox reduces wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles; Cosmetic fillers fill in the wrinkles, giving real volume to the face, and resulting in a smoother, more youthful look. There are fillers that are best as face volumizers because they give volume back where it has decreased over time. Juvederm is our preference for "plumping up" lips.

Laser Skin Resurfacing- CO2

There are many different varieties of laser skin resurfacing, but all decrease the prominence of age spots or sun damage, and restore youthful firmness to loose skin. These procedures are also excellent for doing away with wrinkles. For patients with extended large-scale skin damage, laser skin resurfacing is attractive. It can be performed on many areas of the body.

Laser Skin Tightening

Again, there are a variety of lasers for skin tightening. They tighten the skin sending energy that damages the skin in a healthy controlled way; encourage collagen and growth of new cells. Radio Frequency may be employed to tighten without down time or discomfort. Skin Tightening Lasers go deep in the skin with thermal energy to lift, tighten and stimulate the skin to form new collagen.

If you are considering plastic surgery, a non-surgical cosmetic procedure may be enough to turn back time without cutting the skin.
