The Rise of Non-Invasive Procedures

By Brentz Walker


Patients who choose non-invasive procedures has gone up in recent times, statistics have shown. Tummy tucks are still popular, as well as breast augmentations, but less invasive procedures are becoming more widely accepted. These non-invasive types of procedures usually involve injection or laser technologies. This change is because of a number of reasons.

After cosmetic surgery, you have 2 options really. Staying inside for the healing process is an option. The other choice is that you go out and then run the risk that your recent procedure will be noticed by someone. Secrecy is not really a practical option here.

The good thing is that it's actually not easy for someone to notice a non-invasive procedure, when handled by an expert. People will often not know what it is, but will be able to tell that you look better in some way. When discretion is a concern, a non-invasive option like this is a good choice.

Because we lead busy lives, private time to recover isn't available sometimes. The idea that you can schedule a non-invasive procedure on a Friday afternoon and return to work on Monday is extremely appealing. When other options in the cosmetic surgery world are considered, a non-invasive process is clearly a great choice for many. The fact that it doesn't take much time makes it so that a patient can slip in for a fast Botox treatment at lunch time. A laser treatment on your day off is always a better use of your time than taking several vacation days to recuperate from a physically exhausting surgical procedure.

One can not have any procedure done without a measure of risk, even if it's tiny. Of the risks involved, the largest is with the general anesthesia that is used. It can cause severe and adverse reactions in some patients. Waivers need to be signed when this is used. Instead, many patients are opting for simple, in-office procedures that are non-invasive and do not use general anesthesia are considerably safer.

Whether you want to call it an economic downturn or a recession, it is having an effect on cosmetic surgery and is one of the reasons for the increase in non-invasive procedures. Simply put, non-invasive procedures cost less. Cosmetic procedures are not typically paid for by health insurance plans; as these are elective surgeries. Many people need to save up for a procedure and, when the economy is tight, they may feel more comfortable setting that money aside for other needs.

Non-invasive procedures, however, are much less expensive. A treatment of a Botox injection will be about ten minutes long, but often it makes the patient as satisfied as a more expensive face lift. Non-invasive procedures are a great, inexpensive solution in a tough economy.

Surgical options are often not that much different from a non-invasive method. The point behind having anything like this performed is to look younger and more refreshed. Whether you want to erase that frown line on your forehead or just add a little extra hair up there, non-invasive procedures can provide wonderful results. Non-invasive procedures require much less risk, no general anesthesia, and can be performed in as little as 10 minutes. Many times you can even return to work. For those who weigh the pros and cons, many decide that the better price, the faster healing, and the desired results can be achieved by non-invasive means. These are some of the reasons that non-invasive procedures are on the rise at this time.
