New Med-Aesthetic Technology to Reduce Wrinkles
Over 15 million minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in Canada over the course of a year. Botox and dermal fillers are becoming widely used by all people across the world. Wrinkles are something that everyone must deal with at a certain age. There is no way of avoiding it but there are ways to help reduce them.
What is medical aesthetic technology?
This type of technology is specifically used for various cosmetic procedures. It is used to reduce wrinkles, skin tightening, removal of unwanted hair, plastic surgery, and various other cosmetic procedures.
Medical aesthetic technology is specifically designed to make your appearance better. It improves your look and removes unwanted faults in and on your skin. These can also include surgical procedures such as liposuction and facelifts. The global med-aesthetic market is expected to be valued at roughly $17.9 million by the year 2023.
What types of med-aesthetic technology are there?
All technology used, must first be approved by Health Canada. If it is not approved, it cannot be used in clinics on patients. There are various types of this technology depending on the procedure you are getting done.
Venus devices are widely used in Canada for wrinkle reduction. VenusLegacy is used for non-surgical procedures such as skin tightening, wrinkle reductions, and cellulite reduction. Another popular device is called EXILIS RadioFrequency. This type of machine only targets the affected areas. It is a quick and efficient way of reducing wrinkles and the client’s appearance.
Some of the best wrinkle reduction treatments would include dermal fillers, Botox, Microneedling, and PRP facials.
Why is better than any other treatment?
With new technology being developed, more and more people are starting to choose laser treatments, injections, and dermal fillers over plastic surgery. This is mainly because most prefer non-invasive treatments for wrinkle reduction.
These devices and injections are faster and more effective than plastic surgery. This is mainly because they target the specific area that needs fixing with minimal to no invasion, which means better results will be achieved. The results last longer and are safer than any other treatment.
What are the benefits of using this on wrinkles?
The number one benefit is the fast results. Plastic surgery takes a lot of time from booking the appointment, going through the consultation, going through the surgery, to the recovery time. With lasers and injections, the treatment itself is quite quick, and the recovery time is even quicker.
From plastic surgery, you may be waiting weeks before the swelling and bruising goes down. When you get the non-invasive procedure done, the recovery time is two to three days. There is minimal bruising and practically no swelling.
Another benefit is the fact that this type of treatment only targets the affected area, not the whole face. If you are looking to reduce wrinkles around the mouth, then that is where you will get the treatment. It will attack the specific area and give instantaneous results.
What are the costs involved?
It depends on the type of treatment you are looking to get. With Microneedling you may be looking at getting around three to six sessions, depending on how much work needs to be done to get the best results. This can result in a minimal cost of $200 per session. The maximum you could pay per session may be around $700.
Microneedling with platelet-rich-plasma may cost you up to $700 per session. PRP treatment is highly effective in rejuvenating the skin and building up collagen. Our own blood is taken out and injected back into the affected area to stimulate collagen production.
Botox injection can cost roughly about $15 per unit. Normally, you would require about 15 units per session. One session could easily cost you up to $300. The more sessions you get the higher the cost will be.
EXILIS treatment may cost you $300 per session. This is pretty much the same as the other treatments, but it only takes 20 minutes per session.
How many treatments will I need?
Depends on the type of treatment you choose to do. On average, you will be looking at a minimum of three sessions and a maximum of about six sessions. It all depends on your skin and how much area there is to be worked on. Best to go in for a consultation so that the practitioner can examine your face.
Are there any side effects of using this technology on wrinkles?
There are not many side effects. The usual ones would be swelling, redness, some itching, and on a rare occasion a rash. These treatments are all approved and safe to use. There are no major side effects as you would sometimes have from a procedure like plastic surgery. It is all very safe and effective.
New technologies have made it possible for people to choose from a variety of wrinkle reduction treatments to suit their needs. As seen from the above, you can choose from laser treatments, to injections, and PRP treatments. Whatever your needs, there is something to suit you most. Prices vary but are never overly expensive. It is all affordable, effective, and safe to use. Results are long-lasting and fast-acting.
