Minimally-Invasive Cosmetic Treatments in Sacramento

When you picture cosmetic treatments in Sacramento, you may think it means undergoing surgery. However, you don’t always need invasive surgical procedures to improve your appearance. If you’re looking for non-invasive cosmetic treatments, you have some options. The plastic surgeons at Kaniff Cosmetic Medical Center feel these procedures are safe and effective. Here are some options for minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments in Sacramento:
Dermal Fillers
If thin lips or thin eyebrows are a problem, consider getting dermal fillers. Dermal fillers, also called injectable fillers, also make a great alternative for plastic surgery in Sacramento for getting rid of wrinkles. Dermal fillers are a gel substance injected below the skin to enhance the contours of the face and smooth wrinkles by encouraging the growth of collagen. Dermal fillers have varying degrees of effectiveness and softness, and they often get injected in the plastic surgeon‘s office.
IPL Photofacial
An IPL (Intense Pulse Light) photofacial, also called photo rejuvenation, is an option for minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments in Sacramento that reverses the effects of aging caused by sun damage as well as skin discoloration, and rosacea. In some cases, it may treat acne and stretch marks. IPL photofacials produce an intense light to cut deep in the skin’s surface which encourages collagen production to restore the face. In the process, it destroys melanin, which is the root cause of age spots and freckles.
The plastic surgeon applies a gel to the skin and sets a beam according to your skin color and type. Untanned skin is commonly the best candidate for a photo facial. The procedure should take no longer than 30 minutes and causes very few side-effects.
Botox®
Botox ® is a popular cosmetic treatment used in place of a facelift to remove fine lines and wrinkles. Botox® applies the purified form of a chemical botulin to relax the wrinkles on the face. Injections may occur at the mouth to treat frown lines, the forehead, or near the eyes to treat crow’s feet.
Besides wrinkles, it can also help migraines, excessive sweating, and bowel and bladder conditions. However, since injections are temporary, many more sessions may be needed. The treatment should take no more than 10 minutes with noticeable results commonly showing 24 to 48 hours later. In some cases, it could take one to two weeks to see the results.
These procedures are not the only treatment offered by The Kaniff Cosmetic Medical Center. Whether you are considering plastic surgery in Sacramento for a major overhaul or minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments, contact us today to schedule your consultation!
