MINIMALLY
INVASIVE COSMETIC PROCEDURES
The
most prevalent minimally invasive aesthetic procedures are listed below :
- Botox injection: Botulinum
toxin injections, often referred to by the product names BOTOX® Cosmetic
or Myobloc®, are biological toxins (botulinum toxin) which are transformed
into a therapeutic agent. Botox is used for the treatment of frown lines,
forehead furrows, "crow's feet," lines and wrinkles of the lower
face, and even nasal muscles (to decrease nostril flaring). Botox
injections have proven to be a very popular nonsurgical cosmetic
procedure. Plastic surgeons have found that the type of lines and wrinkles
that respond best to botox injections are those caused by muscles that
contract during facial expressions such as frowning or squinting.
- Collagen, fat, and other
tissue filler injections (such as hyaluronic acid): injections plump up creased, furrowed, or sunken facial skin; add
fullness to lips and backs of hands. They work best on thin, dry,
light-colored skin.
- Chemical peel:
This procedure minimizes the appearance of acne, pock, and other scars as
well as wrinkles (depending on concentration and type of agent used,
except for deep furrows), solar lentigines (age spots, freckles), and
photodamage in general. The chemical solution peels away skin's top
layers. It works best on fair, thin skin with superficial wrinkles. Chemical
peels commonly consist of carbolic acid (Phenol), trichloroacetic acid
(TCA), glycolic acid (AHA), or salicylic acid (BHA) as the active agent.
