Traditional cosmetic surgery is essential in some instances, but for the vast majority of skin enhancement services, non-surgical options are available. The main benefit of non-surgical skin enhancement is the ability to have no or very short recovery time and heal fast while promoting maximum results. Many of these procedures can be accomplished on a lunch break or during another break in your schedule. Additionally, immediate results are possible with certain skin enhancement procedures. Here are just a few of the several ones available in Med Spas.
Laser Skin and Muscle Rejuvenation
Advanced technologies such as laser skin and muscle rejuvenation allow us to resurface skin without causing harm (El-Domyati, M. et al., 2011). During this procedure, a specialized topical anesthetic is applied to the skin to relieve any potential discomfort from the laser. Although pain is not generally reported, laser skin and muscle rejuvenation can cause slight and temporary skin redness. However, some of the laser skin and muscle enhancement procedures have absolutely no visible side effects like redness and damaged outside layer of the skin. It can also take several months to see the full effect with multiple treatments, but most patients report a positive change almost immediately following laser skin and muscle rejuvenation services (El-Domyati, M. et al., 2011).
Quick and most popular facial treatments: Facial Fillers & Wrinkles Reduction
Facial dermal fillers (for example, JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, Radiesse ®) are the instant way of creating (a temporary) volume (Facial Fillers, 2022). Facial dermal fillers are used to temporarily “fill up” the lost volume in the facial areas where we tend to lose tissues with age, like lips, folds around the lips – marionette’s lines, and tear trough (lost tissue below the eyes). Dermal fillers (e.g., JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, Radiesse ®) can also be used to temporally add volume to the anterior part of hands, chin, temporal areas, cheeks, or jawline reconstruction. Instantly seen results and the procedure takes only a few minutes (15-30), not counting previous numbing prep time for comfort.
Botulinum wrinkle treatment (e.g., Botox ®, Xeomin ®, Jeuveau ®, Dysport ®) works on muscle tissue by temporarily blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles, which enables (or reduces the ability of) the muscle to contract (Wrinkles-Botulin Treatments, 2022). That action produces less movement and relaxes the injected muscles with the result of fewer wrinkles over the treated area. The procedure takes 5-15 minutes, and results are seen within 3-7 days.
Micro needling
Micro needling is a procedure that many patients prefer over laser skin rejuvenation. This natural technique produces mechanical injuries to the skin (skin resurfacing) and promotes collagen and elastin production to alleviate or reduce a variety of skin texture and clarity concerns (Juhasz & Cohen, 2020). Each treatment of micro needling takes an average of 1 hour, and multiple procedures are recommended for full results, but many patients report clearer skin after just one treatment of micro needling. According to Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology Journal studies, post-acne scars, accidental or post-surgical scars, can benefit significantly from micro needling (Juhasz & Cohen, 2020). Older patients with age-damaged skin, discoloration, and bumpy, uneven texture experience and love their results. Some cases of melasma can also benefit significantly from micro needling procedures as they do not penetrate the skin with heat, which may exacerbate the condition. Micro needling is one of the most popular modern non-surgical and not expensive quick procedures, and various celebrities have promoted it over the past few years.
