The wide variety of medical spa treatments are available in the market today means that you can enjoy a facial rejuvenation lunch is not only fast but also relatively painless, with virtually no recovery time. So if you fancy a quick point non-surgical setting, plumping and even a bit of relaxation wrinkles - without having to opt for a heavy hospital stay - Continue reading ...

1) Mesotherapy for facial and neck rejuvenation

If it is French, has to be good, right? Mais oui! This treatment was started 60 years ago by the extraordinary French, Monsieur Michel Pistor. It involves injecting a specially formulated blend of vitamins, minerals and medications to improve parts of the face and body, giving an elegant shape, new. It is considered especially effective for sagging necks and faces, but is also used to treat skin conditions, cellulite and more.

Pro: Side effects are limited, as the work is located in the areas that need work only.

Against: The effects can be very visible, at best.

2) The facial acupuncture

It is believed that the insertion of needles into specific points on the side can stimulate collagen production, which is produced naturally in our bodies and makes us look younger. But is acupuncture really an ancient Chinese secret facial, or simply a modern Western scam?

Pro: Relatively painless with virtually no recovery time needed

Con: If you have a needle phobia, this is not the treatment for you.

3) The oxygen facial

If you want to pay much money to get some air spray in the face, try an oxygen facial. In reality, not just the Big O that I realized: oxygen "spray" also contains a mixture of collagen, vitamins and minerals that are designed to smooth wrinkles and fat face. Breath of fresh air or air so hot? You decide.

Pro: It's super trendy, well-known stars such as Madonna reportedly big fans.

Against: Skeptics say it does not really work, and that any short-term "plumping effect is really only mild inflammation caused by oxygen acts as an irritant.

4) Radio-Frequency Facial Treatment


The idea is simple: special radio waves heat the collagen beneath the skin of the face, what shrink. When finished, your face should appear smooth and firm. It is also reported to help reduce the effects of minor acne, rosacea and the uneven pigmentation.

Pro: Unlike laser treatments looking for a similar effect (see below), this is not invasive.

Cons: A major change will only occur after a series of treatments.

5) Laser Skin Tightening

An infrared light heats the collagen under the skin on your face, so it is tight. This is achieved by rapid pulses of light blasting, which can be slightly uncomfortable. Most patients say they feel like having a rubber band broke several times in the skin (sounds fun, right?). The effects are much less dramatic than with laser skin, but also less risky.

Pro: The first results are visible immediately.

Con: At least two weeks to three different treatments or one month apart are required for maximum effectiveness.

6) Microdermabrasion
small aluminum oxide crystals are sprayed in the face with a device similar to a jet of sand. The crystals are abrasive and aims to remove the top layer of skin, leaving a new layer soft as a baby's bottom. These days, even a miracle can make at home, thanks to a special "do it yourself" kits. Parisian Peel also nicknamed, is largely considered softer than the chemical peel (see below).

Pro: Works best with skin that is scarred, sun damaged or showing signs of aging too.

Cons: Although advertised as completely painless, can cause irritation and discomfort, and in some cases can lead to a nasty rash.

7) chemical peel

If throwing acid on your face sounds like fun, try this! Seriously, a chemical peel is very similar to microdermabrasion that his goal is to renew the way your face looks and feels to get rid of the damaged top layer of skin to reveal softer layer seconds. This is accomplished by using a chemical mixture of phenolic acids and especially designed to improve their appearance.

Pro: In some cases, chemical peels were successful in getting rid of acne and precancerous growths, as well as reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines associated with aging.

Against: Some people have adverse reactions to certain acids, such as Alphahydroxy acid, used in chemical peels, and may experience redness, tightening and sharp bite. Remember when Samantha Sex and the city had a zest for lunch went wrong? Ay!

8) Botox

Sounds too good to be true: scientists have discovered that a toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria can paralyze facial muscles, get rid of wrinkles visible in its entirety. Small amounts are injected into certain parts of the body block nerve impulses to these muscles, as referred to in the eyes and forehead, effectively erasing wrinkles and fine lines - temporarily. Larger amounts, when ingested, can cause food poisoning. Is not science wonderful?

Pro: A 15-minute treatment can run for months, with immediate results.

Against: Too much Botox can give freezeface: if you still want to show any expression in all easy going, otherwise people will not know if you're smiling or about to vomit.

9) The filler injections

They are certainly cheaper and less invasive than going under the knife, and injections of dermal fillers like Restylane or Perlane have been quite successful in making people look much younger. Made of hyaluronic acid from animal sources, Perlane is better suited for deeper wrinkles her sister Restylane. Both injectable gels are manufactured by the Swedish company itself and are suitable for people with allergies to animals or eggs.

Pro: As a topical anesthetic is administered before the injections are relatively pain-free.

With: Courses of injections are not cheap and regular refills are needed for best effect.

Looking younger has never been easier. But while there are plenty of medical spas around these days, always a good idea to visit a reputable and shop around before taking the plunge. It may also be treated by a physician rather than a technician to reduce the risk of something going wrong. Do your research carefully and choose the latest fashion unless documented medical tests to back it up. Remember: you get what you pay!
