Top 5 Non-Invasive Cosmetic Procedures
Botox: Sometimes referred to as an anti-wrinkle treatment, utilizes a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin to medically treat muscular conditions or remove wrinkles. Some additional uses include treating excessive sweating, migraines and bladder or bowel disorders.
Soft Tissue Fillers: This is a more affordable alternative to plastic surgery that is highly effective at improving the appearance of facial imperfections such as scars, acne, and injuries. It also softens fine lines and wrinkles and can be used to temporarily add volume to the lips.
Chemical Peel: Used to improve the skin’s appearance by peeling off old skin to stimulate the production of new, smoother and less wrinkled skin. Chemical peels treat sun damage, reduce the appearance of mild scars, age spots and dark patches, and improves the feel of skin.
Laser Hair Removal: During this medical procedure, a concentrated beam of light is emitted using a laser, and removes unwanted hair. While laser hair removal delays hair growth for long periods of time, it does not entirely stop hair growth.
Microdermabrasion: There are various Microdermabrasion techniques, towards the same goal of improving the appearance of acne scarring, age spots, sun damage and many more skin-related conditions. This procedure is safe for most skin types and complexions.
With the trend growing, celebrity beauty experts have predicted that the following non-surgical procedures will grow increasingly popular in 2019.
