Noninvasive Skin Treatments - A General Guide (Skin Care Blog Post)

1. Botox

Botox is a prescriptive medicine that is injected into your muscles to improve frown lines. It stops nerve impulses to the injected muscles that cause wrinkles.

It's a nonsurgical procedure, and takes little recovery time, but must be done by a health professional, and can cause problems with swallowing, breathing or speaking, or the spread of toxins.
 

2. Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing uses intense light to break down skin, making skin heal itself by recreating new cells. The procedure is more intense, and is used to treat wrinkles.

A full face treatment takes up to two hours, but doesn't require overnight recovery. Skin may take up to several days to heal. It is advised that you protect skin very well, especially from sun light, after procedure.

3. Dermal Fillers

Often referred to as "soft facelifts," dermal fillers add soft tissue for your skin and gives your face a youthful plump. 

They are completely noninvasive. 

They don't treat severely sagging skin, but can provide a soft lift.     

4. Total Facial Rejuvenation

Total facial rejuvenation uses a combination of the above procedures to give you packaged youthfulness and allover appeal.
