Aging is a normal process of life. But, if you can slow down the effects of it, why not give yourself that benefit to age gracefully. Technology has made its way through the beauty and wellness industry, now with the ushering in of cosmetic treatments labeled as minimally invasive.
In the past, major cosmetic treatments had to be done as an invasive procedure which meant that surgery was needed. This is fine for those who have no aversion to surgical procedures. For those who do, it’s a welcome recourse to opt for minimally invasive cosmetic treatments offered by reputable clinics like The Med Lounge. This is the turning point of the beauty and cosmetic industry to make treatments more accessible.
If you’re keen on enhancing your natural beauty and pampering yourself this year, here are some of the best minimally invasive cosmetic treatments worth trying:
Novel Injectable Anti-Aging Treats
Today’s many new injectable anti-aging treatments can be incorporated as a part of your overall health and wellness strategies. They’re a class of cosmetic procedures wherein hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin to plump your face up. While not as famous yet as traditional treatments, it’s slowly making its name in the beauty and cosmetics industry as the preferred face-refreshing procedure of many doctors.
When hyaluronic acid is injected into the face, the production of collagen is said to be stimulated and elastin production is also improved. The results manifest through improvement in skin texture, tissue quality, and hydration levels.
There are many benefits to getting this type of treatment such as:
- It’s an effective non-surgical treatment, which makes it convenient for everyone;
- It may improve skin quality by removing skin wrinkles to make it appear spotless and flawless; and
- It targets problem areas in your face like undereye wrinkles and fine lines surrounding the eyes.
Botulinum Toxin Type A
Botulinum toxin (BoNT) type a is also referred to as Botox in short. When injected, Botox is an effective agent that blocks muscular nerve signals. In effect, muscle contraction is nullified. This effect in the face results in diminishing all the unwanted wrinkles in the target areas.
People who wish to have Botox treatments usually request it for areas like:
- Wrinkles between the eyebrows called glabellar lines;
- Cobblestone’ skin on the chin;
- Wrinkles around the eyes, known as crow’s feet; and
- Lines around the mouth’s corners.

In a nutshell, brow lamination can be likened to hair perming. But, instead of curling the hair, a setting lotion is placed to help the brows stay up when brushed. On average, this kind of treatment can last up to six weeks.

So, it may not be best for those who suffer from skin sensitivities like allergies and eczema. Be sure to discuss this option first with a dermatologist before having this procedure done in a salon.
