There are plenty of ways to modify the way you look through surgery. New techniques are being created all the time to cater to the growing market of people hoping to improve their appearance. A large number of these procedures can be invasive for the patients since they often require anesthetic and a structured recovery period. Not everyone is willing to take on the potential risks of invasive cosmetic surgeries, but that doesn’t mean they can’t find plenty of other ways to achieve their aesthetic goals. If you have been thinking about enhancing your physical appearance, here are a few examples of low or non-intrusive and relatively simple treatments you could choose from.
What Makes a Cosmetic Procedure Non-Intrusive?
First of all, it might be helpful to learn more about what makes a procedure intrusive and non-intrusive. For some people, the very thought of having something foreign injected into their body could be considered intrusive, but for most people it’s about what kind of anesthetic is used, if any, and how long it takes to recover from the procedure completely. The least intrusive types of procedure require no anesthetic at all and don’t have an impact on the rest of your day. This kind of straightforward treatment may occasionally have complications, but overall they are safer and more immediately effective than the more severe and invasive procedures.
Take a look at some examples of non-intrusive cosmetic procedures and find out more to help make your mind up.
Botox
Apart from its medical uses to treat muscle spasms, chronic headaches and overactive sweat glands, Botox can be used to decrease the appearance of creases in the skin. This is achieved by freezing the muscles under the skin so that they cannot move in such a way that repeated folding causes wrinkles. When performed by a skilled professional such as those at Dermani Medspa, Botox is one of the simplest and most subtle ways to improve a person’s appearance. It is a relatively painless and quick procedure that takes effect very soon after treatment. It also dissolves into the body so if you aren’t happy with the results, they are temporary and won’t cause lasting damage.
Skin Tightening
There are various methods of skin tightening but one of the most popular involves using laser treatment to stimulate the body’s natural underlying production of collagen. This can be used on many body parts to give the impression of tone and firmness.
Filler
Facial filler is when injectables are used to create the appearance of fullness. This gives skin a plump and smooth look since sagging and wrinkles are often caused by a lack of collagen and elastin, which filler can imitate to an extent. Different body parts can be injected with filler to enhance their appearance. For those considering the comparatively invasive rhinoplasty, filler can sometimes be a viable substitute to create the desired effect on the nose without surgery and the related risks.
If you are thinking about having a non-intrusive cosmetic procedure, make sure to thoroughly research it in advance and take proper precautions.
