Introduction to Popular Cosmetic Procedures

Posted by Sean Butler on July 9th, 2019

Cosmetic surgery has been around for hundreds of years. People have used scientific knowledge and sophisticated medical techniques to enhance their features for a long time. The field of cosmetic medicine has only grown and expanded over time. Some procedures are invasive and transform your features dramatically while others are more subtle. This article introduces you to some of the most common and easy cosmetic procedures available today.

Lip Augmentation in London

 

Lip augmentation is surgical procedures that enhance are the shape and size of your lips. This procedure is different from modern lip fillers and a little more invasive. The doctors make small incisions along the lip line and insert silicone implants or fat harvested from other parts of the body. This enhances the lip shape and size considerably and is a great alternative to fillers.

Lip augmentation is an older cosmetic procedure and was popular before fillers were introduced into the market. This provides more long-lasting results and in some cases, the augmentation is permanent. Lip augmentation requires more time to heal and there’s a slightly higher risk of infection, but it is an effective way to improve the appearance of your lips.

 

Botox in Surrey

 

Botox is a highly popular cosmetic procedure that can help combat the signs of aging and ensure your skin looks smooth. During this procedure, the doctors inject a mild toxin into the surface layer of your skin. This toxin numbs the underlying muscle and reduces movement, can help reduce the amount of strain the skin above the muscles have to endure. Facial muscles are quite active, especially when you smile, laugh, frown, or grimace. As you grow older, the skin above these active muscles becomes less flexible. This can cause frown lines, crow’s feet, laugh lines, and other such wrinkles.

If the muscles underneath the skin are less active, the skin doesn’t have to stretch as much. This reduces the possibility of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful appearance.

 

Lip Fillers London

 

Lip fillers are a less invasive and less painful alternative to lip augmentation. During this procedure, the doctor injects hyaluronic acid fillers at specific points in your lips to give it some fullness and a defined shape. The hyaluronic acid is safe for your body and doesn’t cause any adverse reactions in the lips.

This procedure is very quick and takes around 10-15 minutes. You can walk into the clinic during lunch break to get it done. Lip fillers don't cause visible bruising so you can easily go on with your day after the procedure is done. Unfortunately, the results of the procedure last for 4-6 months so you will have to get it again to maintain the desired shape.

 

Dermal Fillers London

 

Dermal fillers are an effective way to correct fine lines, wrinkles, and add volume to your face. The filler is injected into the skin to fill the space and lift the skin surface. This erases lines, makes skin look plumper, and gives you a youthful appearance.
