How to Choose the Right Non-Surgical Treatment for You

If you’ve reached a point in your life when you’re ready to take a few years off your appearance – or a few inches off your body – cosmetic treatments can work wonders. While the outdated stigma associated with going “under the knife” is a thing of the past, many people still go the non-surgical route first.

With so many breakthroughs in aesthetic medicine over the years, you might not know which minimally invasive procedure to choose for your cosmetic goals. Alternatives to plastic surgery procedures like facelifts, liposuction, and nose jobs are available, but how do you know which is best for you? Here are some options to consider.

Botox

Hands down, the best-known and most tested cosmetic product worldwide is Botox. Every year, millions of patients choose this injectable to resolve forehead lines and wrinkles like crow’s feet and bunny lines. At New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, demand for our Botox brow lift is higher than ever. With this procedure, our skilled injectors will relax your brow muscles for a natural lift.

Other uses for Botox include softening lines around your mouth, turning the corners of your mouth up, and even minimizing neck bands.

Whatever concerns you choose to address with this versatile product, we can deliver outstanding results with no downtime.

Dermal Fillers

Another treatment that is quick and convenient is dermal filler injections. We employ multiple filler types and technologies to allow us a customized approach and the ability to offer wide-ranging facial enhancements without incisions, sutures, or downtime.

We can deliver spot treatment on trouble areas or surgical-like results with a liquid facelift or non-surgical rhinoplasty. In addition, our highly trained injectors have a reputation for efficacy and safety, opting for the most innovative, proven methodologies in aesthetic medicine.

CoolSculpting

If you need to remove stubborn fat in areas where diet and exercise have failed you, the fat-freezing technology of CoolSculpting is an excellent option. Known as non-surgical liposuction, this procedure permanently destroys fat cells while you read a book, stream a movie on your phone, or catch up on your emails.

And it delivers optimal results, eliminating up to 23% of unwanted fat within two weeks after your final session.

PRP for Hair Loss

Hair restoration is another issue where cosmetic medicine offers innovative treatment. Non-surgical platelet-rich plasma injections with microneedling offer an ideal solution for thinning hair. It employs your body tissues and healing mechanisms to deliver non-surgical hair restoration, kickstart stalled hair growth, and slow down or eliminate hair loss.

Combining PRP and microneedling creates the optimal environment on your scalp for hair growth. Each treatment amplifies the other, since microneedling allows PRP to reach deeper levels of the scalp. In addition, PRP boosts the healing mechanisms that microneedling triggers. With non-surgical hair restoration, you can have a powerful treatment without extended downtime or painful recovery.

Which Procedures Are Right for You?

While surgeries like facelifts and tummy tucks will always be popular, advancements in cosmetic medicine have given you additional options in your non-invasive arsenal to enhance your appearance and self-esteem.
