With the average life expectancy on the rise, the anti-aging argument has become much more compelling. As people are living longer and more active lives, the need to look as young as you feel has increased tremendously. According the the annual ASPS report, anti aging cosmetic procedures have increased by 104% since the millenium, totalling 15.1 million cosmetic procedures in 2013. The most popular of the anti aging procedures are the minimally invasive procedures, such as injectables and laser skin treatments.
Injectables have become popular mainly for these 6 benefits:
- Treatment is fast and easy
- Each treatment is painless
- No downtime for recovery
- Results can last from 4 months to 1 year
- Effectively reduce dynamic and static wrinkles/ fine lines by filling creases or relaxing muscles that cause wrinkles
- Volumizer injectables can plump and lift cheeks and lips
Laser skin rejuvenation treatments are in high demand for these 6 reasons:
- No downtime for recovery
- Minimal pain (like a light sunburn)
- Softer, Smoother and younger looking skin
- Significant improvement in deep wrinkles, lines and folds
- Evening skin tone
- Improving texture and discoloration of scars
Each of these treatments are suited to address certain problem areas and skin types and it is important to discuss your goals and expectation with a dermatologist or aesthetician before getting these procedures done.
