Sensational Subtlety
December 9, 2009
Cosmetic procedures have come down from their 2004 peak, especially during the recession, but statistics show that many people still opt for non-surgical procedures in times of need. According to a study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, almost 2 million surgical cosmetic treatments were performed in 2008, versus 8.5 million non-surgical procedures.
As technology advances and the public becomes more skin savvy, patients want to fix aging and sun damage without looking fixed.
Many fillers and injectables such as Sculptra, Botox, Dysport, Radiesse and Juvederm work well for those who want a subtle fix. Many of these treatments are split into multiple sessions over a few months and can last up to two years. Sculptra is especially preferred for a subtle fix because it actually replaces lost collagen and gradually plumps and smoothes skin.
These fillers can reduce the appearance of smoker’s lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles, flat temples and more. Ask about injectables today, and view our helpful chart if you’re wondering which one is right for you. Those with multiple problem areas do well with a mix of fillers.
