If you’ve thought about a facelift or looked into liposuction for your mid-section – that troublesome area that’s been hanging around since your mid years – or questioned a friend about her breast surgery – you’re not alone. The world over cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures are soaring in numbers – and becoming more affordable. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 2,678,302 cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in American 2019 – of those in the hot seat were breast augmentation, liposuction, eyelid surgery and facelift.
Demand for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures – like Botulinum Toxin Type A, soft tissue fillers, CoolSculpting – continues too, they’ve soared almost 200% in treatment use since 2000. So, why the rise? Well, for some people it’s wanting to take greater pride in their appearance, for others is the greater affordability and accessibility of treatment, and for others it’s the low-risks associated with non-surgical procedures. The advancements in the technologies used for these treatments is also a huge drawcard, as surgeons and specialised practitioners can achieve maximum looks without the invasiveness.
So, what can you achieve in a lunch break that’s going to give you the results you want? Let’s take a look at two of the top five non-surgical procedures topping charts, meeting expectations and maintaining the ‘real’ you.
Dermal Fillers:
When it comes to your face, it isn’t about simply filling the gaps. Modern-day fillers work to define and restore definition in your face. It isn’t about changing looks or creating a new you – it’s about softening lines and creating fuller areas to restore a more youthful and natural look.
And the filler rejuvenation process isn’t at all a complicated one. In fact, today’s leading dermal fillers are revolutionary gel-like substances which are less invasive and more apt for facial restoration.
Why? Because the safest fillers are created from hyaluronan – which is naturally present in our skin – addressing problems relating to fine lines and the changing contours of the face. And, because these modern fillers are in keeping with our skin’s natural make-up, they last much longer.
Dermal fillers are well suited to target all facial areas, including, jowls, marionette lines, cheeks, lips and forehead.
CoolSculpting:
Unwanted fat affects so many of us and it’s a given fact that stubborn fat in areas like the thighs, stomach and hips has a higher density of alpha receptors – cells that are harder to shift – so no amount of gym time is really going to cut it. Previously non-surgical options were limited but the introduction of CoolSculpting, an FDA-cleared technology, is destroying fat for good from the outside in. Forget needles and incisions, this safer, non-invasive treatment gently freezes fat cells, the dead cells are then naturally eliminated out of your body. And, there’s more than one CoolSculpting applicator to target specific areas, which means greater efficiency and ease of treatment, reduced procedure time and increased comfort.
From the CoolCurve, to CoolMax – the largest applicator which is best for the lower and upper abdomen, to CoolFit – the longer length applicator with greater grab for treating bat wings and inner thighs, to the CoolMini – the smallest of applicators which is ideal for doublechin fat reduction. Whatever your target area, just chill, CoolSculpting has you covered.
