The Rise of Non-Invasive Procedures

By Brentz Walker


The stats show that there has been an overall increase in patients opting for non-invasive procedures. Less invasive types of cosmetic processes are more popular lately, although tummy tucks and breast augmentations show no signs of slowing down. In cosmetic surgery, non-invasive procedures are typically performed via injection or laser. The reason for the shift is due to many factors.

After cosmetic surgery, you have 2 options really. You can hide away till the healing is done. Or, your second option is that someone you know will see you in the healing process with a bruise, a bandage or some other sign. You could keep it a secret from all, but it usually is not the best idea.

The good thing is that it's actually not easy for someone to notice a non-invasive procedure, when handled by an expert. Sometimes people may sense something has changed about you, but can't quite pinpoint what it is. To have the procedure be less noticeable, using a non-invasive option like this is advised.

Healing alone at home is not an option many of us have, due to time constraints. A great benefit from non-invasive options is that a patient will usually be able to return to work on Monday after having the procedure done the Friday before. In fact, the convenience factor is huge when comparing non-invasive procedures to standard cosmetic surgeries. Women or men can go and have a Botox treatment in the time off for lunch break, this makes is a popular choice. 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. The biggest potential issue is with the use of general anesthesia. Adverse reactions have been known to happen, and at times, they can be more severe. Extra waivers are signed just for its use. 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. The long and short of it is, it's less expensive to have a non-invasive procedure done. Health insurance does not generally cover cosmetic procedures; they are considered elective. Saving money to have a cosmetic procedure sometimes gets left behind when other more pressing financial concerns are coming forth.

Non-invasive procedures, however, are much less expensive. The results of 10 minutes of Botox can make a patient just as happy as a face lift, but for much less money. Non-invasive procedures are a great, inexpensive solution in a tough economy.

Non-invasive procedures can be every bit as noticeable as the expensive surgical options. Having a procedure such as these is the result of a desire to look more youthful and to be more attractive. For those who would like to get rid of unsightly lines on their forehead or want some hair added, great benefits can be gained from a non-invasive procedure. General anesthesia is not required, they can be fast, even only ten minutes, and non-invasive procedures have a minimal risk involved. Many times you can even return to work. A lot of people see the benefit of getting great results, but having it be affordable and the recovery process much easier than more serious cosmetic surgery. This has led, of course, to the rise in popularity of many non-invasive, cosmetic procedures.
