When people hear the word cosmetic treatment lots of things come to mind. Maybe you think of breast enhancements, tummy tucks, or liposuction. You might be for or against them. In recent years though, cosmetic treatments have grown in popularity, and now more ways exist to transform the way you feel by changing or altering something on your body. It could be a hair transplant, cosmetic teeth, or some form of skin rejuvenation. Here are some of the ways people are choosing to benefit from cosmetics.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation doesn’t only mean a facelift – it can also include an eyelid lift, a neck lift, and a brow lift. These are non-invasive procedures that are intended to restore a youthful appearance. With a neck lift, for instance, a combination of liposuction and muscle tightening is used to remove unwanted fat and to straighten out wrinkles. It can be done in conjunction with a facelift for optimal results. Always do your research when considering a facelift and find a qualified practitioner – your facial rejuvenation treatment must be carried out holistically.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is any form of dental work that enhances your appearance. It could be anything from teeth whitening to teeth implants. It’s possible you’ve had some cosmetic dental work without even realizing it. If you’re finding that your teeth have become less white due to lifestyle choices, you might want to push the restart button. Teeth whitening is the easiest and least expensive form of cosmetic dentistry. Your teeth can be bleached in the cosmetic dental clinic or by using a whitening product at home. If you want Hollywood teeth, dental veneers might be an option.
Hair Transplant
Contrary to popular belief hair loss doesn’t only affect men. However, the vast majority of candidates for a hair transplant tend to be, men with some male pattern baldness. FUE hair transplants involve applying a local anesthetic to the scalp. The doctor will then shave the back of the patient’s head and remove hair follicles using a special tool. He then prepares the area where the follicles will go by making small cuts with a scalpel or needle. Each follicle is placed carefully in the hole. This procedure can take between 4 to 8 hours depending on the area being covered. A successful procedure can contribute to mental and emotional wellbeing in individuals as head hair is restored to youthful proportions.
Skin Rejuvenation
One day you might notice some blemishes on your skin you’ve never seen before, they could be age spots or sunspots. Alternatively, you may have some light scarring, wrinkles, or acne that affects your mental wellbeing. Skin resurfacing is the most frequently used form of skin rejuvenation. It can remove damaged skin cells using a combination of lasers, light treatments, and acids. Laser resurfacing, for instance, uses light and heat to destroy a thin layer of top skin that contains the blemishes, at the same time, the heat encourages the growth of new skin underneath, resulting in new collagen fibers. It is a very effective treatment and can be used in sensitive areas due to its precision accuracy.
