Top 8 Spring Break Makeover Procedures


Advertisement

 If you’re heading out for some sun and sand this Spring Break season, a quick-fix cosmetic procedure can freshen up your looks and give your confidence a boost. 

 
Today’s innovative cosmetic surgery procedures give you the chance to whittle away a few excess pounds, tighten up loose skin and even say goodbye to cellulite and stretch marks. Many don’t require any downtime, which means you can hit the beach – or other Spring Break destination of choice - within a few weeks.
 
Say goodbye to the winter blues and embrace spring season with any of these procedures for your own Spring break makeover:
 
1. Tighten up loose skin with Thermage. If ‘saddlebags’, loose skin around the tummy or extra weight around the waist are ruining your figure, consider a Thermage skin tightening treatment that will contour and shape your body, pain-free. The procedure involves delivering high-energy heat waves deep into the skin so that the skin and tissues contract. The energy heats the collagen enough to increase collagen production, so you’ll notice a significant tightening and toning of the treated area after a few days.
 
2. Get rid of cellulite with endermologie. Endermologie is a decades-old body treatment that promotes healthy circulation and helps break down trapped body fat under the skin’s surface. If you have dimples or bulges from cellulite that aren’t going away with your workout routine, consider this non-invasive cellulite treatment so you can greet the sun and sand with confidence.
 
3. Brighten up your skin tone with laser skin resurfacing. Laser skin resurfacing techniques help to break down acne scars and other types of skin damage, and promote healthy cell turnover. These treatments do require some downtime but can produce exceptional results. These are most effective for former acne sufferers, or individuals who want to get rid of stretch marks.

4. Lose the wrinkles with microdermabrasion.  Microdermabrasion works by buffing away dead skin cells and increasing collagen production, the natural compound that makes skin look smoother and resilient. Just one session can brighten up your looks and get rid of fine lines and wrinkles.
 
5. Get rid of unwanted body hair with laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is a valuable alternative to waxing and shaving, but it may take some time to see results. Book a series of laser hair removal treatments up to your Spring Break vacation for optimal benefits.
 
6. Trim down the waistline with VelaShape. Do you have stubborn pockets of body fat around the waist, thighs or arms? Keep up with a healthy diet but jumpstart your weight loss process with the VelaShape treatment. This treatment uses infrared-energy waves to break down body fat and tightens up the skin for a sleeker, sculpted look.

7. Say goodbye to sun spots with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments. IPL treatments help  break down damaged skin cells and increase collagen production deep under the skin’s surface. You can effectively zap away sun spots, blemishes and pigmentation with one or two IPL treatments before you hit the beach.
 
8. Stop the clock with injectable fillers. Today’s most popular dermal filler treatments include Restylane, Juvederm and Botox; each one can fill out fine lines and wrinkles to give you a more youthful look. Add a few of these treatments to your agenda a few weeks before your Spring Break vacation and enjoy the benefits through summer.
