Popular Non-Surgical Procedures This Holiday Season!
Some of the most popular procedures these days are non-surgical, including FILLERS and BOTOX.
These are good options to prepare for those parties and the many photographs that follow.
Fillers can restore lost volume in the cheeks or under the eyes, they can plump up the
lips and fill smile lines or other deep lines on the face. These procedures can
be performed as close as possible to a few days of holiday events. The results are
immediate with some minor swelling and bruising that resolves in several days.
Botox or Dysport, are also good options for weakening the muscles of expression that cause the
wrinkles on the skin. They can soften horizontal forehead lines, crow's feet or wrinkles
wrinkles. As a result, the skin appears smoother and younger. Neuromodulators require
generally 1-2 weeks to take effect and should be planned accordingly. These
procedures, due to minimal downtime, swelling, and bruising, tend to be popular
in the weeks preceding the holidays.
Lasers, IPL treatments and chemical peels are also very popular these days. Summer
tans have faded, making IPL treatments and phototherapy safer.
Pigment concerns can be addressed and resurfacing can be
performed to leave you with fresh, smooth and glowing skin for the holidays. Times will depend
by the treatment and the number of sessions needed to achieve results, generally the times of
downtime will be in the order of 1-2 weeks. However, you need to plan ahead a
more thorough renovation.
Popular surgical procedures during the holiday season
The holidays are also the perfect time for surgical procedures. Patients can benefit
of free time and downtime at work for these procedures. Whether it's surgery
facial, breast or body, these procedures require recovery times that can vary from
a couple of weeks to a couple of months. Swelling may be persistent for months afterwards,
making winter a perfect time to stay indoors and hide under layers of
clothing. Sometimes compression garments are also needed, and they can be easily
hidden under these cozy winter clothes. Typically, before or after the summer, most
some of the patients are recovered and ready to enjoy their new beach bodies.
Our lives are busy and sometimes taking time for ourselves seems almost impossible. The
holidays, however, tend to be a time when we all slow down and can enjoy time
with our loved ones. Whether it's looking your best for the holidays themselves or finally doing
that thing you wanted to do for yourself, holidays tend to be the ideal time.
