Non-surgical cosmetic procedure: Is it worth the wait?

Along with the advancement of beauty technology nowadays, non-invasive cosmetic surgery methods have been created with various outstanding advantages that have been widely received by women. This is owing to safety reasons as well as the rapid and simple procedure we have to undergo, despite the larger amount of treatments overall.

Non-invasive beauty treatments, commonly referred to as non-surgical cosmetic procedures, are conducted without having to deeply interfere with parts of the body such as the skin, bones, blood… This is the reason why customers do not have to go through a long duration of cosmetic surgeries, whilst saving time and costs.

These methods make use of some of the most advanced technologies that can help smooth wrinkles, rejuvenate the skin, and erase the signs of aging on the body with immediate effects. However, more obvious results can only be achieved after having these carried out on you for a certain amount of time, unlike surgeries. Therefore, the question to be asked here is whether it will be worth the wait to choose these methods or not? Let’s go through the pros and cons of these non-invasive cosmetic procedures.

Chemical peels

Chemical Peels are done at spa and aesthetic clinics using acidic solution to remove old and dead cells from the outer layer of skin. One treatment only takes roughly 15 minutes and helps reduce fine lines, acne scars, and skin damages caused by sun exposure.

Microdermabrasion

During this minimally invasive procedure, the doctor will apply fine crystals on the skin, which acts on the surface of the skin to grind away the upper stratum corneum. This helps reduce wrinkles, dark spots, and mild acne scars, under vacuum pressure. Safe technology with very little risk of scarring or infection is the highlight of this treatment.

Thermage

This treatment helps rejuvenate, lift, and tighten the skin by using radiofrequency waves to exert heat deep into the 3 layers of the skin including the epidermis, dermis subcutaneous fat layer. This stimulating the collagen and firmness of the skin. However, it is also important to note that thermage can be painful for users, especially for those that have sensitive pain or low tolerance to pain.

Lasers

Non-ablative lasers:

Using high-energy wavelengths that penetrate the epidermis layers to help stimulate skin collagen, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin tone, radiance, and texture.

Diode Laser Technology:

Using lasers that initiate heat around the sebaceous glands to alter their structure, and hence slowing down the production of sebum causing acne.

Intense pulsed light (Intense Pulsed Light – IPL):

Using pulses with suitable wavelengths to treat a number of skin diseases, increase collagen production, and lessen the appearance of wrinkles.

Endospheres: The 100% non-invasive cosmetic procedure

The main characteristic of Endospheres Therapy that undoubtedly stood out from the others is the capability of enhancing face and body imperfections from the outside, unlike any type of invasive surgery. These comprise wrinkles and tissue sagging, cellulite, and fat accumulations. In fact, this is a painless method that utilizes Compressive Microvibration®®, a mechanically generated vibration at a variable frequency that was specifically designed to target these imperfections. Each treatment also follows a precise protocol developed by the Scientific Committee and can be performed on both the face and the whole body.
