5 Cosmetic Treatments That Deserve Your Attention

When you’re new to the beauty industry and don’t know enough about all the cosmetic treatments that are available, it can be a little hard when choosing what treatment you would like to go through. Blindly picking something based on general information that you know can work with other products or services. But in the world of cosmetic treatments, where some changes can last up to years blind picks are highly inadvisable. 

This is why it’s so important to learn as much as possible about the most popular and effective treatments in modern cosmetic centers. Knowing about the best of the best could help you make a more educated decision when the time comes to choose a cosmetic treatment that is right for you. While it would take a much, much longer article to cover all the best cosmetic treatments out there, some are just impossible to exclude from this list, like Microneedling, Coolsculpting, and Botox NYC clinics’ first pick for facial rejuvenation.

Botox

Let’s get the big ones out of the way first. Botox is probably the most famous treatment in the beauty industry today thanks to its name. Individuals unfamiliar with the beauty industry and the many cosmetic treatments out there often like to label any facial treatment, even some body enhancements as “Botox”. 

As a result, many people know the name Botox, but don’t have the faintest idea of what it actually does. What complicates this even further is that Botox works very differently from many other cosmetic treatments out there which focus on lifting and tightening the skin. Sure, Botox does this to some extent as well, but it would be severely inaccurate to say that it is a similar treatment.

While other skins smoothing cosmetic treatments work with the skin, Botox works with the muscles. The muscles under our face are constantly contracting, which causes wrinkles to form on the skin above. These contractions are beyond our control so don’t try to stop them yourself; you won’t be able to.

Botox numbs the nerves responsible for the muscle contractions, pretty much stopping them, which in turn smooths out the skin on the surface above. You will see a huge difference in how well Botox worked, as the skin is visibly smoother, with far more deemphasized wrinkles and age marks. 

Microneeling

This is a lesser-known cosmetic treatment, making it an even better candidate for this list. Cosmetic treatments have to produce some sort of results, whether it’s enhancing certain facial features or smoothing out the skin. Many treatments accomplish this by injecting compounds or inserting special fibers under the skin.

Microneedling does not need any chemical or compound to produce the results. If you get the chance, find a patch of skin that was recently tattooed. If you run your finger across the surface, you will feel how supple and soft the skin is. This is because the holes that were poked during the tattooing heal and get replaced by fresh new skin cells. New skin cells are not only stronger and healthier but also softer and smoother to the touch.

Mirconeedling emulates this by using a pen needle gun that pokes hundreds of tiny holes in the surface of the skin without causing any damage. The holes barely even bleed but are deep enough to trigger the body’s natural regenerative abilities. This is what brings out the fresh skin cells and replaces the old surface of the skin with a fresh, new layer.

Coolsculpting

It’s hard to imagine how you can get rid of fat without even cutting it out or burning it away. Coolsculpting, without causing any harm to the body, is able to freeze the fat in any area of the body and make it go into apoptosis, what is commonly referred to in the scientific world as cell suicide. As the cells die out one by one, the layer of fat shrinks until that part of the body has become slimmer and more sculpted. 

By exposing the fat cells to 12 degrees Fahrenheit  (-11 C) long enough, from 40 to 50 minutes, the fat cells will be damaged and will begin to die out. It will take several months for all of them to die out, as the body needs time to evict all the unwanted fat cells from that area of the body. There is always something new to learn about Coolsculpting and you can learn more about it on official practitioners’ websites like MiracleFace MedSpa.

Sculptra

For more enhanced curvature and a more curvy figure in general, Sculptra is a great injection-based treatment that adds roundness and volume to the posterior. The compound is designed to be springy and when injected, it creates a more rounded buttocks, without taking away from its natural shape.

Many curve enhancement treatments produce very curvy results, but often at the cost of the natural shape and appearance. With Sculptra, you don’t have to worry about this at all, as the compound creates a visibly curvier figure, but retains the posterior’s natural beauty and symmetry.

Kybella

Finishing off with a more specific treatment, there is Kybella, which trims away excess fat from under the chin and gets rid of the double chin. Fat accumulation under the chin is quite common and many individuals are looking for a way to get rid of it. 

Many people do not have the time or energy to burn away fat through natural means. For them, Kybella is the perfect solution to all their problems as it quickly burns through the excess fat under the chin and smooths out the jawline. With only 2 to 4 sessions of Kybella injections, patients have been able to reach amazing results with very minimal side effects and recovery time. It’s a great treatment for anyone having trouble with their double chin and has brought smiles to countless faces.
