10 Cosmetic Treatments You Should Know About

If you’re even remotely interested in cosmetic treatments and have taken a few steps in researching them, then you’re already on your way to getting treated. Luckily there are a variety of cosmetic treatments and enhancements for you to pick from. But this also comes with the disadvantage of being unable to make up your mind on which treatment to pick and in what clinic. This is a common problem that many patients go through when they visit Dr. Schwarzburg’s Skinly Aesthetics medical spa. His years of experience as a cosmetic dermatologist have allowed him to work with countless patients and he understands how this initial decision is crucial. 

The choice of which treatment to pick is up to you. So knowing what the treatments are and what they are capable of is very imperative if you are looking to get results that satisfy all your needs and expectations. 

1. Botox

You’ve most likely heard of this name and for a good reason. This injectable solution has made headline after headline thanks to how effective it is and how many practitioners trust its high standards of safety.

Botox is able to numb certain nerves which are responsible for causing the muscles under the face to contract. These contractions are the ones that cause static wrinkles to form on various areas of your face. By numbing the muscles, the wrinkles fade away and your face looks significantly younger and all it takes is just a few small injections.

2. Dermal Fillers

Faces get droopy and saggy over time. This isn’t necessarily all that bad, as many people prefer their appearance with wrinkles and think of them as signs of aging and experience. For many other people, however, wrinkles and saggy skin are a terrifying sight. 

Dermal fillers are injected into various parts of the face. The aesthetic gel expands when it comes into contact with the moist undersurface in your face. This expansion lifts the skin, making it look tighter and younger as a result.

3. Coolsculpting

Ever thought you could get rid of excess fat with nothing more than the cold? No? Well, are you in for a surprise with Coolsculpting. This treatment uses special applicators which freeze an area of the body causing the fat cells to essentially commit cell suicide. 

Fat freezing is a great option for anyone who has had trouble with getting rid of excess fat in certain parts of their body.

4. PDO Thread Lift

Another treatment that excels at lifting the skin and tightening it to make the surface look smooth is the PDO thread lift. Special threads are inserted into key areas under the skin, where they cling tightly to the skin and smooth it out. 

Once the threads dissolve, the body begins to produce collagen strands which replace the threads and continue to keep the skin lifted for up to 2 years after the initial treatment. 

5. Microneedling

Skin rejuvenation should not be made complicated. Your body comes with all the necessary tools to keep the skin healthy and strong. You can activate these abilities using Microneedling, which poles tiny holes in the surface of the skin which are then regenerated.

The skin cells damaged during the Microneedling treatment are replaced with fresh, new cells that feel smoother to the touch. You can feel just how more supple and springy your skin gets after a few sessions of Microneedling.

6. Sclerotherapy

Spider veins are a real problem since they add an unnecessary blue hue to otherwise silky smooth legs. They may not be visible at first, but the longer you leave them that way, the more apparent they will become.

With a few injections of a special compound, the Sclerotherapy treatment can reduce the visibility of the spider veins. No longer will you have to worry about wearing bottoms that can hide those pesky spider veins. Sclerotherapy can easily make short work of them.

7. Cooltone

Don’t let the name fool you. The only aspect of this treatment that is remotely similar to Coolsculpting is how it is entirely non-invasive. Special magnetic applicators are placed on various areas of the body and they begin to contract the muscles at super fast speeds. These contractions equate to doing around 20,000 crunches or other exercises within the span of half an hour.

As a result, the muscles are a lot more toned and chiseled, giving them that ripped appearance that takes months, if not years to obtain through natural means. This treatment is a great shortcut for anyone who’s been hitting the gym non-stop, but hasn’t gotten the exact results they’ve been looking for. 

8. Secret RF

Building off of the success of Microneedling, Secret RF takes skin rejuvenation to a whole new level. While the standard Microneedling treatment is effective in its own right, the results can be further improved using a special frequency laser which boosts collagen production and further rejuvenates the skin.

And since this additional step utilizes a laser, the treatment is still minimally invasive, with a short recovery time that is basically non-existent. 

9. Mesotherapy

We all need a pick-me-up from time to time. And few treatments offer as many benefits as the Mesotherapy injections. Doctors create a mixture of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and other medicinal products which are injected into key areas of your body and face.

The result is a fresher appearance, more consistent skin pigmentation, healthier, stronger skin, and even reduction of fat in certain areas of the body. With just a few injections you can get all this and plenty more within the span of a few months.

10. Brazilian Butt Lift

Let’s finish things off with a little curve enhancing. With how popular the concept of having a “thick” figure has gotten, everyone is after those gorgeous, luscious curves that accentuate some of the most attractive aspects of your body. Everyone is built differently, so obtaining curves through natural means is not always possible.

But what sets BBL apart from all the other butt enhancements is that it actually uses your body’s own fat to add volume to the posterior. Excess fat is extracted from the waist, abdomen, and thighs through liposuction and then injected back into the buttocks. So, not only are you enhancing the curvature of your figure, but also reducing fat in unwanted places.
