We all deserve to feel comfortable, confident, and happy in the skin we’re in, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have the right to make changes as we see fit. When something bothers you about your appearance or body, you have the freedom to seek out an experienced plastic surgeon and discuss your options for rectifying the problem.
However, not all procedures have to involve surgery, and many non-surgical treatments can provide you with the confidence boost you desire. Here are just a few of the many you might like to learn more about.
CoolSculpting®
There are several resources online where you can learn more about a fat-freezing procedure known as CoolSculpting®. Coolsculpting is a non-surgical treatment option for taking care of stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise can’t seem to shift.
CoolSculpting® uses temperatures cold enough to freeze fat but not surrounding tissues. It targets fat cells, crystallizes them, kills them, and flushes them from your body. The technology is so advanced that once the fat cells have been flushed from your body, they can’t return or accumulate, meaning the results are permanent. This straightforward and effective treatment has FDA approval and generally requires up to three sessions to eliminate troublesome fat permanently.
Botox®
We all get older, but that doesn’t mean we must accept our fine lines and wrinkles. Many people prefer Botox® treatment, consisting of purified botulinum protein from Clostridium botulinum, for reversing age-related wrinkles and making themselves appear younger.
Trained and board-certified plastic surgeons can inject Botox like those from 44botox, beneath the skin and target muscle activity to eliminate early signs of aging. While it’s not a permanent solution to aging, Botox® can often be effective for up to six months, and you can make follow-up appointments to receive more.
While Botox® is an approved treatment for cosmetic reasons, it also has FDA approval for health conditions. It is frequently used to treat incontinence, headaches, severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis, and cervical dystonia.
Laser Hair Removal
Many people can be uncomfortable with the amount of body hair they have. While several hair removal methods exist, such as waxing, shaving, and electrolysis, they can be time-consuming, painful, and only temporary.
People experiencing confidence issues relating to body hair often approach cosmetic and plastic surgeons to discuss laser hair removal, a hair removal method targeting areas like legs, underarms, bikini lines, backs, and chins. Laser hair removal uses low-energy beams to target hair follicles and stop them from growing, and it can be effective in multiple sessions. While some redness can be present after a laser hair removal session, it can subside within just a few hours.
Microdermabrasion
Not everyone is comfortable with how their skin looks. You might have wrinkles, scarring, sun damage, or other superficial skin problems you haven’t been able to address with collagen creams alone.
In this case, you might consider microdermabrasion. This non-surgical skincare option involves removing a small amount of skin with a gentle vacuum to reveal fresh, glowing skin. Since it’s a gentle treatment, it’s typically suitable for sensitive body parts, such as arms, hands, faces, chests, and necks.
Many people who seek out microdermabrasion are impressed by how it’s often able to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, get rid of uneven skin texture, remove swollen pores, and even reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation is an in-office cosmetic procedure to help you achieve fuller, more youthful-looking lips. While there are many surgical lip augmentation options, such as lip implants, fat grafting, and a lip lift, you can also opt for non-surgical and non-permanent lip filler.
Lip filler, also known as a dermal filler, is injected into your lips by a certified professional to help you achieve the lip plumpness you desire. Once you make an appointment with a plastic surgeon, you can enjoy a fast and convenient treatment process with numbing cream applied and no downtime afterward. Most people are then able to enjoy the effects of fuller, more youthful lips for up to six months before the effects wear off.
Latisse®
If you’ve dreamed about having long, beautiful eyelashes, you don’t need to purchase fake ones from your local convenience store. Instead, you can grow them after receiving the first FDA-approved eyelash enhancement drug called Latisse®.
When medical professionals were developing a glaucoma drug, they noticed that one of the ingredients, bimatoprost, caused patients to grow beautifully long eyelashes. After clinical trials, it was deemed suitable for being brushed along the lash line like eyeliner to help people grow thicker, longer, and darker eyelashes.
If you don’t feel confident or beautiful in your own skin, that doesn’t mean you never will. Think about features you’d like to change and make an appointment with your local plastic surgeon. You might be surprised by how many non-surgical and surgical options you have at your disposal.
