Whoever said you can’t have your cake and eat it too? For one reason or another, you may have reservations about plastic surgery, but that doesn’t have to stop you from getting results that are pretty darned close. If you’re shying away from a facelift, here are three non-invasive treatments that can alleviate, restore and rejuvenate your skin, all without ever entering an operating room.
BOTOX®
BOTOX® is a tried and true treatment for improving the appearance of aging facial skin. Muscles treated with BOTOX® go into a temporary state of paralysis before smoothing out on their own. The process does wonders for treating superficial wrinkles and preventing the onset of new ones. More importantly, there’s virtually no downtime. You can get your injections in the morning and enjoy brunch with friends on the same day.
SkinPen™
SkinPen™ is a type of microneedling therapy. Tiny needles in the apparatus create microscopic holes on the surface of your skin that stimulate the body’s natural restorative processes through the production of elastin and collagen. The treatment is noninvasive and great for surface scars, enlarged pores and even stretch marks. Some of the other advantages of SkinPen™ include a short procedure time and minimal downtime.
RADIESSE®
RADIESSE® is a volumizing dermal filler, used to smooth out deep wrinkles. This non-invasive injectable treatment is more appropriate for pronounced lines and creases. But aside from filling out the space of wrinkles, RADIESSE® is unique from other injectables for its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This enables RADIESSE® to kick start natural regenerative processes while also providing volume.
