Today's savvy, but aging, individual knows that cosmetic procedures generally require scalpels and stitches. Generally, but not always. New medical breakthroughs are taking cosmetic procedures to entirely new levels by developing lasting, effective treatments without the knife and operating room. Whether you're male or female, looking for a little maintenance or a drastic change, operating and long recovery times can be a thing of the past.
Besides a fear of all things sharp and able to cut, most cosmetic procedure seekers are looking for a few quick trips to the doctor's office without a drawn-out recovery time. Non-invasive cosmetic procedures are perfect for busy lives that don't allow for any downtime. Plus, since some non-invasive treatments are performed over a series of visits, the look your family and friends will see will not be a shock - you'll look as though you've made a slight change; dieting, exercising, vacationing- the natural beauty you have will shine through.
While deciding on a treatment, take the time to research the methods on the market today. Have there been any FDA recalls? Are the treatments FDA-approved, for that matter? Decide if you are comfortable with treatments that use toxic chemicals or bacteria, and learn about pain management. Although non-invasive treatments mean no knives, often needles and heat-applications or deep pressure techniques are applied. Also, these types of treatments often require a commitment to a treatment plan with repeat visits for maximum effectiveness. Be sure that this is a schedule you can work with, and consider how any recovery time will impact your life. You will want to weigh the benefits and costs to each treatment that you are considering.
As with any cosmetic procedure, you want to really explore why you are considering this option. Even though non-invasive treatments seem like an easy, quick change you will want to prepare yourself for the change in your appearance. It may help to talk to your friends and family about your desires to "make a change" and consider their feelings on the topic. Although the decision is ultimately yours, it's a great idea to voice your thoughts aloud. If you have children, this will be a good time to prepare them for their "new" mommy or daddy, as changing appearances can be frightening to young ones. Your loved ones only want what is best for you, so listen to their concerns and take the time to answer any questions they may have. Hearing how much thought and research you have put into your decision will make them feel more secure.
As with any medical procedure, you will want to interview doctors in your area before making an appointment. Become familiar with the staff and nurses who will be assisting your doctor too. These individuals want to help you look your best, and it is important that you are comfortable being in their care. Your doctor should welcome the consultation and your inquiries into various procedures, and not try to influence your decision with extra sales and products. Be wary of this, especially. You want to select a doctor who truly feels rewarded by happy patients and stellar results, not how much they can squeeze from your wallet. Make sure your physician is board-certified, has plenty of experience, and comes with recommendations.
Enjoy your journey through discovering, and maybe even getting, non-invasive cosmetic procedures.
