Reasons for the Popularity of Non-Invasive Procedures

By Brentz Walker


The stats show that there has been an overall increase in patients opting for non-invasive procedures. 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. The reason for the shift is due to many factors.

You have two choices with cosmetic surgery. 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. Trying to keep it completely secret will not always work out.

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. When discretion is a concern, a non-invasive option like this is a good choice.

Most of us do not have time to recuperate in private. A non-invasive procedure can be done on Friday, and Monday morning, the patient can return to work, and this is a huge advantage. There are more complex procedures in cosmetic surgery that are nowhere near as quick and simple as these non-invasive choices. 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. It's much easier to heal over the weekend from laser treatment than to have to schedule time off of work in order to recover from a more intensive cosmetic surgery.

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. Adverse reactions have been known to happen, and at times, they can be more severe. The patient is required to sign a waiver because of this. Other non-invasive options are available that can happen in an office environment, are much safer than surgeries that need general anesthesia.

The recent slowdown in the economy has had a negative impact on major cosmetic surgeries and at the same time, non-invasive procedures have been steadily increasing. Basically, it's cheaper to have a non-invasive procedure. Health insurance does not generally cover cosmetic procedures; they are regarded as an elective procedure. Saving money to have a cosmetic procedure sometimes gets left behind when other more pressing financial concerns are coming forth.

On the other hand, having a non-invasive procedure will cost much less. 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.

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. 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.
