With party and entertaining season right around the corner, many Americans are looking for quick and easy ways to enhance their appearance and look their best for the upcoming season. Though some cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures require extensive surgery and weeks of downtime, there are several ‘quick fixes’ and non-invasive procedures that can provide remarkable results. 

Whether you want to lose a few inches around your waist or banish some wrinkles around the forehead, you might consider some of these nonsurgical – and even affordable – cosmetic procedures right in time for the holidays.

Restylane for Lip Augmentation

Restylane continues to be one of the most popular dermal fillers for lip augmentation, and can provide results for up to six months.  This injectable is made with hyaluronic acid and can be used to augment either the upper or lower lips.  If you have very thin or narrow lips and want a plumper, fuller set of lips, Restylane injections can help you achieve that ideal pout in just one treatment.

BOTOX to Get Rid of Wrinkles

BOTOX injections continue to be one of the most popular non invasive procedures for both men and women, and can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, as well as get rid of furrows on the forehead.  BOTOX helps create a smoother, more youthful surface and touch-ups are required every few months after the initial treatment. When you’re looking for an instant pick-me-up before the holidays, BOTOX can help you achieve a somewhat dramatic transformation.

Thermage for Skin Tightening

If you have loose skin around your stomach after weight loss, or extra fat under your arms or neck, Thermage has been proven to be effective for tightening up the skin and creating a smoother, more sculpted look. Thermage procedures are often undetakne by those who have had weight loss surgery or liposuction because they smooth and sculpt the skin to create natural contours; when diet and exercise aren’t helping you lose those last few inches, Thermage treatments can help tighten the skin and improve your appearance within weeks.

Microdermabrasion for Skin Rejuvenation

Summer and Fall may have left you with sun spots, an uneven skin tone and possibly some fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Microdermabrasion can help clear away those dead skin cells and improve collagen production; the result is healthier looking skin and a cleaner, smoother texture. Microdermabrasion is a powerful exfoliating treatment that can help you get clear, youthful looking skin for that special occasion or event.

VelaShape for Cellulite Reduction

When that healthy diet and rigorous exercise routine aren’t helping you lose stubborn fat or cellulite, a series of VelaShape treatments may help shrink those fat cells and help you slip into that fitted outfit for the holidays. VelaShape works by breaking down fat cells and then shrinking the cells to create a more sculpted and tighter look. A series of treatments is required to see results, but this procedure has been approved by the FDA and has received many positive reviews.

Whether you want to tighten up the midsection or say goodbye to those wrinkles on the forehead, you’ll find several effective treatments that can help improve your looks before the holidays.
