It is impressive what an impact non-surgical cosmetic treatment such as lasers, peels and fillers can have on our skin. Whether it is fillers used to sculpt and shape your nose or lasers to treat wrinkles non-surgical cosmetic treatments are more popular than ever. Here are the top 4 procedures of the year that don’t require going under the knife.
Non-Surgical Nose Job (Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty)
A traditional rhinoplasty is painful, invasive and demands a lot of recovery time. A non-surgical nose job or rhinoplasty is performed through injectable fillers such as Juvederm which contains hyaluronic acid. Results are not permanent and can last between 12 to 18 months. This popular nose job treatment is perfect for people who wish to create nostril symmetry and correct bridge bumps. Non-surgical nose jobs can’t reduce the size of the nose, so those who want a smaller nose should not opt for this type of treatment.
Lip Injections
Some people want a full pout like Angelina Jolie, while others are concerned about their asymmetrical lips. Either way, lip injections are famous for not only transforming the lips, but the way face looks in general. Injectables include commercial fillers like Juvederm which can last between 9 to 12 months. After applying a topical numbing agent to the area, the filler is injected in and around the lips, and normal activities can be resumed.
Laser Facial Treatment
For minor skin imperfections such as dullness, sunspots and large pores, the fractional laser treatment is very popular. The painless procedure is done quickly, and there is hardly any downtime. A patient may experience some redness that could be mistaken for not wearing your sunscreen. A laser handpiece is moved across your face to brighten skin tone and minimize the pore size instantly.
Chemical Peels
By removing old and dull skin, new layers can grow in its place, resulting in a clearer, brighter and more youthful-looking skin. Chemical peels vary in strength; some can be performed during a lunch hour, but the stronger concentrations need longer recovery time. The stronger the peel, the more likely your skin would look sunburned and ultimately peel. This treatment is a good option for those who want to remove the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage. Some other popular treatments include Botox, oxygen facials, cool sculpting, and body contouring. People nowadays are turning to these procedures to get flawless looking skin.
