Wrinkles, dark circles around the eyes, saggy skin, age spots, pimples and scars – these are just some of the imperfections that we hate to see when we look at the mirror. At some point, we could not deny aging and we find ways to defy it at any cost. Some are willing to go under the knife for the love of youth and beauty. But most us want a beauty fix without undergoing surgery.

Good thing is, there is plethora of non-invasive cosmetic and dermatologic beauty treatments available, from hair removals to skin tightening and body contouring! Yes, these treatments come with a hefty price tag but a lot cheaper and safer compared to cosmetic surgeries, that is why more and more people are willing to go for it!

Here are some of the most popular non-invasive beauty treatments! Pamper yourself and try one of these sometime.

Laser Hair Removal. Say goodbye to waxing, tweezing and shaving to remove unwanted hair! You can have smooth, hair-free arms, underarms and legs with this very common non-invasive cosmetic procedure. Laser hair removal utilizes a highly concentrated light beamed into your hair follicles, removing unwanted body hair within weeks! Depending on the skin type, there are usually 6 to 8 sessions required to completely remove hair and prevent regrowth of hair.

Laser Skin Resurfacing. CO2 Laser is one of the latest and effective treatment for acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles. It utilizes a laser beam that stimulates collagen production in treated skin and promotes fast healing in untreated skin.

Chemical Peels. An acid-based solution is applied to certain skin areas where peeling is needed, usually in the face, neck and hands. This removes scars and age spots. Several treatment sessions will be needed depending on the type of skin, scar and strength of the chemical peel used.

Botox and Fillers. A painless, non-surgical anti-aging treatment wherein diluted botulinum toxin is injected into the facial muscles. The injected fluid inhibits the facial muscles to contract and prevents skin to wrinkle. The effect would be smooth and wrinkle-free skin that lasts for about 4-6 months. Another popular filler is the hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance injected directly into wrinkles or saggy areas. The substance binds moisture within skin cells, filling in saggy skin and tightening it . This is also used for cheek lifts and poutier lips.

Microdermabrasion. Also known as the instant ‘face lift’, wherein a spray of microcrystals peels off the outermost layer of dry skin, triggering the growth of healthier, younger-looking skin.

Thermage Skin Tightening and Contouring. Thermage is the first non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency to treat wrinkles, dimples, creases and even cellulite. Thermage smoothens and tightens skin in the face and other areas of the body such as tummy, knees and buttocks.
