Thinking About Cosmetic Treatments? Here Are Some Of The Most Popular Choices

8/28/2015

Let’s face it. We’ve all had those moments when we’ve looked in the mirror and thought we just have to do something about the reflection. Most of us, however, haven’t gone to the extremes of cosmetic procedures. Instead, we opt for creams and lotions we can buy readily, and kept well away from the surgeon’s knife. But are we avoiding something that could be good for us in the long term?

When we think of cosmetic procedures, we might think about surgeons’ blades. We could worry about long recovery periods. But there are many cosmetic treatments that don’t involve surgery. Many treatments can now be completed in a salon environment. Lots of them are designed to reveal healthier, smoother facial skin. Of course, many involve machines we wouldn’t have at home. But they do not require us to have extensive time off work recuperating.

Fine lines and wrinkles can start to appear from our early twenties. That doesn’t mean we are going to end up looking old before our time. Often, exfoliating, cleansing and moisturizing regularly keeps our skin glowing and beautiful. To go deeper than that, we could pop to a salon for microdermabrasion. This takes off the top layers of skin and provides a smoothing effect to what is left underneath.
Body and facial hair have been the bane of many women. Laser hair removal can offer a permanent reduction in the hair for most skin types. This procedure requires no downtime. But you might need to pop along for repeat treatments. For some women, any reduction in shaving or waxing requirements would be very welcomed.

Professional teeth whitening is still a very popular cosmetic treatment. As our teeth get older and more delicate, it can be advisable to opt for veneers instead. This is another cosmetic treatment that can be performed relatively quickly and easily. There should be no downtime afterwards. For a more brilliant smile and a better-looking shape to the teeth, this can be a great choice.

Permanent makeup has been the cosmetic treatment of choice for many years now. For those with thinner brows or eyelashes, this is a great way to get a good look. You won't have to apply heavy makeup techniques every day. Instead, the makeup is applied at a salon and lasts for up to several weeks without needing a touch-up. Some techniques are much like tattooing so they wouldn’t suit everyone.

Of course, there are some treatments where it is best to consult a doctor. Filler or Botox style injections require medical training to perform in most places. These type of wrinkle treatments rarely require any time off work. But they can be dangerous if not used correctly. For bigger procedures like liposuction or breast reduction, surgery is the only option. The recovery time can be long and uncomfortable too.

There are plenty of procedures you can enjoy that enhance your appearance. Many of them require a short appointment or two at the salon. You can then head back to work without worrying about healing. Would you have a cosmetic procedure?
