In the world of cosmetic medicine, the demand for non-surgical procedures that deliver significant anti-aging benefits without downtime continues to rise. Dr. Som, a board-certified plastic surgeon, offers a variety of non-invasive treatments designed to rejuvenate the skin and reduce signs of aging. These procedures provide effective results, minimal risk, and no need for recovery time, making them an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a youthful appearance. This blog highlights some of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures available at Dr. Som’s practice.

1. Botox Injections

What It Is: Botox is one of the most well-known non-surgical cosmetic treatments. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause facial wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and forehead.

Benefits: Botox can smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a more rested and youthful look. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, and results can last for three to six months.

2. Dermal Fillers

What It Is: Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume to the face. Common areas for filler injections include the cheeks, lips, and areas around the mouth.

Benefits: Fillers can plump up thinning lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases, and improve the appearance of recessed scars. Results are immediate and can last from six months to over a year depending on the product used.

3. Chemical Peels

What It Is: A chemical peel involves applying a solution to the skin, which causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This reveals new, less wrinkled skin that is smoother and less damaged.

Benefits: Chemical peels can treat wrinkles, discolored skin, and scars by peeling away the skin’s top layers. They vary in intensity from mild to deep, depending on the desired results.

4. Laser Skin Resurfacing

What It Is: This procedure uses concentrated beams of light to remove damaged skin layer by layer. The technique is very precise, allowing for targeted treatment.

Benefits: Laser skin resurfacing can reduce facial wrinkles, scars, and blemishes. Newer laser technologies give Dr. Som the control he needs to perform delicate procedures, such as shaping the eyelid with minimal heating of the surrounding areas.

5. Microneedling

What It Is: Microneedling involves using a device equipped with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin.

Benefits: This procedure improves skin texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks. Microneedling is relatively inexpensive compared to other skin rejuvenating treatments.

6. Ultrasound Therapy

What It Is: Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to deliver deep heat to the skin, promoting collagen production and skin rejuvenation.

Benefits: It’s a non-invasive lifting procedure that targets the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging collagen production which leads to tighter skin. Results unfold gradually over several months and can last up to a year.

Non-surgical cosmetic procedures offer an effective way to combat signs of aging without the need for surgery or long recovery times. Dr. Som is dedicated to providing the latest and most effective treatments to help you achieve a naturally youthful look.
