Cosmetic surgery - Non surgical cosmetic procedures

Non surgical cosmetic procedures list

Botox®
Botulinum toxin type A whose trade names include Botox®, Vistabel®, Dysport® and Neurobloc® is a method of filling wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes without surgical lifting and without a surgical knife.

Chemical peels
A chemical peel is a chemical that is painted onto the skin to produce an accelerated exfoliation. Chemical peels go deeper into the skin resulting in a brighter and smoother complexion. The results of chemical peels last longer than standard exfoliation techniques.

Laser skin resurfacing 
Laser skin resurfacing is rapidly becoming the most widely used cosmetic treatment in Hollywood. When lasers were first used for skin resurfacing they would burn the top layer of skin away resulting in a 2 week recovery time. Now new lasers such as the Fraxel SR laser burn only a small fraction of your skin at a time with thousands of microscopic laser spots known as microthermal treatment zones. These tiny laser spots remove old, discoloured skin leaving the healthy skin intact. This means that the skin recovers much faster.

Intense pulsed light, IPL
Photorejuvenation using intense pulsed light (IPL) is one of the best non-ablative skin treatments currently available. In the photo rejuvination treatment intense pulsed light (IPL) is used to reduce skin blemishes such as Rosacea, acne scars, birthmarks, brown spots, sun damage, facial thread veins and broken capillaries around the nose.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion sometimes known as mechanical exfoliation is a type of digital vacuum dermabrasion. Dermabrasion techniques are used to change the texture and appearance of the skin so as to minimise scars and reduce the appearance of sun damage. Microdermabrasion is a very gentle method of mechanical peeling using repetitive, very soft treatments to improve the skin quality.

Sclerotisation: Vein Therapy/Removal
Varicose veins, which can often be seen on the backs of calves and knees are injected with a special foam through a tiny needle into the vein. By injecting the vein with this special substance into the vein the veins begin to gradually absorb themselves.The sclerotization treatment is generally used for veins of smaller circumference than 1 mm known as microvarixes.

Dermal fillers (Injectable fillers)
Dermal fillers, also known as injectable fillers offer immediately obvious results that are much cheaper than surgical procedures. Dermal fillers are made from a number of different materials and the effects on wrinkles and lines range from temporary to permanent, depending on the type of injectable filler used. Dermal fillers are used to plump up fine lines, wrinkles, some scarring, and augment the lips by restoring volume and definition. Most manufacturers of injectable fillers recommend that dermal filler treatments should only be carried out by medical professionals.
