Three Treatments That Will Change Your Life
If you have ever wanted to improve your appearance and rejuvenate your skin, you may be on the lookout for cosmetic treatments that will change your life. Here are three that will do just that:
Sclerotherapy
Varicose veins can be unsightly and can sometimes be painful. These are enlarged blood vessels that appear on the limbs, most often on the legs. They are mostly purple, blue, or even skin-colored at times. They have a raised texture above the skin, and look dilated and twisting. Varicose veins appear when the valves in your blood vessels become defective, causing a backflow of blood, as opposed to just a one-way path. What sclerotherapy does is to clear up the appearance of varicose veins using injections directly onto the vein itself. What happens then is the vein collapses, clearing up the raised, bumpy and enlarged appearance of the vein. The procedure is relatively safe and very effective to collapse or obliterate the damaged veins. Sclerotherapy is done as an outpatient treatment and has little to no downtime.
Laser Hair Removal
You may never have to shave or wax again once you get laser hair removal. Unwanted body hair can be a a nuance to remove, and requires continuous upkeep to keep off. For women, this includes the bikini line, arms and underarms, legs and sometimes around the lower jaw area. Shaving and waxing can be painful and can cause major irritation to your skin and can result in ingrown hairs. Getting laser hair removal is the perfect alternative to constantly shaving and waxing. As the name states, this procedure uses lasers to remove the hair from the base of the follicle. This results the inhibition of future hair growth through a series of multiple treatments. As a caveat, it does not guarantee permanent removal of hair, as it requires periodical maintenance to continue being hair-free. The results however do speak for themselves, as you can stay hair-free for a prolonged amount of time. This treatment is done in your dermatologist’s office multiple times and is virtually painless.
Cosmetic Injectables
Cosmetic injectables are substances that can be injected in certain areas of your face to create a more youthful appearance. If you suffer from visible frown lines, forehead lines, crows feet, sagging cheeks and tired-looking eyes, then cosmetic injectables is the right treatment for you. You may be familiar with brands like Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. These injectables are used to relax the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, wrinkles that form when your facial expression changes (like smiling, squinting or frowning). Fillers like Restylane and Juvederm fill in the grooves left behind by the formation of static wrinkles. These substances also fill out the hollow areas of your face, creating a more plump appearance of your skin. Usually during consultation for the treatment of wrinkles, your dermatologist may recommend a combination of botox and fillers, as these products compliment each other and work the best when used together – Botox to relax your muscles and fillers to fill in the wrinkles. The results are fantastic and can be long-lasting. The treatments are also painless as local anesthesia is often administered prior to applying the injections. These treatments are also quick and are much cheaper than plastic surgery.
