One of the biggest fears with cosmetic surgery is the risk factor of going under the knife; however, these fears have been dispelled with the introduction of the non invasive cosmetic surgery currently available on the market.
The launch and introduction of non invasive cosmetic surgery has been huge with lots of people opting for this form of treatment over and above those under the cosmetic surgery register. For those wanting a facelift without the risks and complications there are a number of non invasive options that still deliver fantastic results.
The ThermaCool Facelift is a completely non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency to lift cheeks, face and brow areas with only topical anaesthetic and no lengthy surgical process. The radio waves emitted by the ThermaCool machine tighten facial muscles and promote new collagen growth for added spring and firmness to skin. The ThermaCool process is FDA approved and has been proven to visibly improve crows-feet, wrinkles and fine lines. Best of all, the procedure can be done in your plastic surgeon’s chair without stress or recovery time.
Another option is the Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment. This treatment uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove layer by layer of wrinkled or sagging skin. The procedure can take place in your surgeon’s office, a hospital or outpatient centre, and can be as short as five minutes. The procedure requires local anaesthesia and can leave skin tender and sun-sensitive for several months. Results include reduced fine lines around the eyes and mouth, and are comparable to a chemical peel or microdermabrasion.
In addition there is also the ThreadLift which is a non-invasive technique that uses sutures and surgical threads to sculpt and lift droopy areas. Threads run beneath the skin and are inserted under local anaesthesia. The threads and sutures cannot be seen or felt, and results last for three to five years. In addition, recipients of the ThreadLift can return to their plastic surgeon for adjustments and “tune-ups” for continued lift. The procedure takes about an hour and, though at risk for bruising or swelling, the face returns to normal in a few days.
The popularity and increase in people opting for Botox treatments is a great indication of how popular non invasive cosmetic surgery has become. Botox injections are used to treat minor imperfections in facial skin, including laughter lines, wrinkles, creases and crow’s feet. The procedure takes between twenty minutes to one hour and is carried out in an outpatient surgery. People who have this treatment can go to work immediately after and get back to the gym within a few days. The effects last for around 6 weeks and can be repeated to keep up the desired look.
Non invasive cosmetic surgery is ideal for those patients wanting dramatic results without the dramatic operation and recovery time associated with cosmetic surgery procedures. You have a quicker return to work and exercise following the procedure and receive minimal bruising and swelling which allows you to get back to your normal life and looking great much quicker than if you’d of opted for a traditional cosmetic surgery procedure.
