Non-Surgical Procedures
Non-surgical procedures allow Jacksonville patients to address signs of aging, contour the body, and rejuvenate one’s intimate areas. Patients who want to avoid invasive surgeries opt for non-surgical options. The main advantage of minimally invasive treatments is the shorter downtime, allowing patients to enjoy their improved appearance and resume their routines right away.
Botox Treatments
Botox is an injectable wrinkle-reduction product that originates from the neurotoxin produced by the same bacteria that causes food poisoning. In small quantities, Botox relaxes and prevents the contraction of overactive muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
This is a solution to dynamic wrinkles such as crow’s feet, forehead creases, and frown lines. Botox procedures usually last for about 20 minutes or less, depending on the number of target areas. The improvements are visible in 2 to 5 days, and there is minimal bruising or discomfort. The effects of Botox treatments last between 3 and 4 months.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable products that have a gel-like consistency. They smooth away moderate to severe wrinkles, add volume to facial depressions, fill shallow scars, and augment the lips. There are several types of dermal fillers available on the market. Certain fillers are formulated with lidocaine, a numbing agent, to reduce discomfort during injection.
Skin Lasers
Skin resurfacing with lasers has become popular due to their effectiveness and convenience. High-powered beams of laser energy can penetrate deep into the dermal layers for effective treatment. There are a wide variety of laser technologies available that can address specific skin issues.
Lasers stimulate collagen production for lasting treatment of scarring, wrinkles, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. Aside from reducing the signs of aging, lasers can bring about skin renewal, resulting in an even skin tone and fewer blemishes.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting, a form of cryolipolysis (fat removal through freezing), removes unwanted fat without any need for liposuction. It freezes stubborn fat under the skin, causing the fat to break down and be naturally flushed out of the body. This non-surgical body-contouring procedure has become the popular alternative to traditional liposuction because of its safety and minimal downtime.
CoolSculpting is commonly recommended for stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to exercise and dieting. Note: Although this is a fat-reduction treatment, it is not a weight-loss solution. Instead, it is ideal for spot reduction in a wide variety of areas, including the hips, abdomen, and chin.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication that was originally conceived as a way to reduce blood-sugar levels. It’s classified as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), which essentially takes on the properties of the GLP-1 hormone. This particular chemical is released by the stomach when patients eat, thus effectively curbing their urge to continue eating.
