Best Non-Invasive Treatments That Actually Work

Best Non-Invasive Treatments That Actually Work

Thanks to technology there are non-invasive facial and body treatments that can truly improve the way you look and feel about yourself without having to worry about surgery. Plastic surgery has always been a popular option to help people improve certain physical aspects, but the process is expensive, painful, and requires recovery time. Many people think that invasive operations are the only type of treatments that work, but that’s not true. Advances in technology have improved enough that there are a plethora of amazing non-invasive treatments that actually work.

Laser Resurfacing

Using a concentrated laser beam to slough away the top, damaged layer of skin, this procedure is an easy way to renew your youthful glow. Laser resurfacing helps with sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation. There are even different types of laser treatments for this procedure, so talk to a plastic surgeon about which options would benefit your lifestyle most.

Skin Tightening with Radiofrequency

This procedure has been popular with both men and women for several decades. It used to be that skin tightening meant incisions and stitches. Now there’s a method of perfecting skin and increasing collagen production simply by using a radiofrequency device. The beams gently heat the deep dermis. When this layer is warmed using the proper tools, your skin’s existing collagen tightens, creating a noticeable difference. The same warming technique helps boost your skin’s own production of collagen, which keeps the structure of skin cells.

Non-Invasive Cellulite Removal

Another great way to use laser technology to your benefit is to do a cellulite treatment. It’s been popular with celebrities for a number of years, which has encouraged more doctors’ offices to offer this procedure. Using radiofrequency waves to heat the lower dermis and the fat cells underneath causes a metabolic breakdown of the fatty tissue. A machine massages the affected area for about an hour and patients will have to repeat the process every few months, but it makes a noticeable difference in the appearance of cellulite.

Spider Vein Treatment

Spider veins are dark blue, purple, or red clusters of veins that look like a spiderweb, hence their name. This is something many individuals struggle with, particularly those who have a job that keeps them on their feet. This can also happen due to changes in hormones (like pregnancy), weight gain, and naturally with age. For those suffering with this issue, there’s a laser procedure that takes 15-30 minutes and can help remove the unsightly spider veins without pain or discomfort. You can go right back to work or daily life and still see an improvement.
