How Are Non-Invasive Procedures Performed?

Non-Invasive procedures are less surgical and involve less work inside the body. They are considered to be more conservative and they do not require any incisions into the body or the removal of tissue. Any procedure technique that will not involve any incision or puncture and introduction of a foreign material or object in the body is considered a non-invasive procedure.

Any medical procedure is said to be non-invasive if no breakage in the skin is created or when there is no contact with the internal areas of the body besides the artificial or natural body orifice. An example can be the way a microdermabrasion exfoliates the top layer of skin; it’s not invasive but injectable cosmetics instead because they require a puncturing the skin. The same is for many skin care treatments since they do not require cutting into tissue or needles in any way.

Since non-Invasive treatments are procedures that incur less trauma to the body the recovery is often quicker and the risks are lower. This therefore doesn’t allow as many possibilities for adverse effects and complications compared to invasive treatments. With a non-invasive procedure, there is less scarring and less pain, while it reduces any incident of complication after the procedure

As time goes on, technology has allowed medical professionals to perform more procedures and treat more patients with less invasive techniques. This has increased particularly in anti-aging medicine. Anti-aging procedures have become less invasive over time which once always required surgery. This means that the conditions that required surgery before are now being treated without it such as deep wrinkles of the skin are now treated with lasers and fillers and not just facelifts.  

Types of cosmetic injectables

In today’s world, everyone wants to get quick fixes; people want to get results fast. When it comes to beauty, that is now possible with non-invasive injectable fillers. Injectables have become popular because they are non-invasive and they lead to faster results. Before you decide to get an injectable, you need to be aware of all the options you have.

There are many types of injectables:

Neurotoxins such as Botox work since they relax the muscles on the face by blocking nerve impulse. Facial muscle is no longer capable of contracting so that it can reduce the frustrating wrinkles. Botox is an injectable used to reduce wrinkles at the forehead, eyebrows, and crow’s feet. It should be used as a treatment after every four months in order to maintain a youthful look. Some side effects may include mild nausea, temporary headaches and bruising at the injection site.

Dermal fillers are type of injectables which include hyaluronic acid like Juvederm and Restylane. They are used for treating sagging skin, folds and deeper wrinkles. The results are achieved when a liquid thicker than neurotoxin is injected deep within the tissues in the face. It is a type of injectable used for plumping the under-eye hollows and wrinkles while it enhances your lips giving a lift to the sagging skin. A dermal filler injection is a remedy for collagen loss. The injection should be given by a certified plastic surgeon and the results usually last for over six months. Side effects of the injections are eye drooping and other types of distortion of the face when the injection is administered in an incorrect manner.

If you want to get injectables therapy, you should start by consulting a plastic surgeon.  You can find that there are many surgeons around you, but you should ensure that you are getting a board-certified surgeon to make sure you are in safe hands.

After choosing a surgeon, you should book a consultation to discuss your expectations, goals and concerns. When going for a consultation, you should not put on makeup so that the surgeon can see clearly what needs to be done.
