From obesity to sagging skin to wrinkles, new plastic surgery procedures can have a significant impact on your overall appearance and health. Procedures like Botox and ultherapy can be performed without general anesthesia. In fact, most cosmetic surgery procedures are minimally invasive, and the payoff in terms of a revitalized appearance seems to be worth it. The use of cosmetic procedures has risen dramatically in the past five years, as the results speak for themselves.

Cosmetic surgery today
The most popular cosmetic procedures nowadays are nonsurgical, affordable and accessible. They heal quickly and results are seen almost immediately. These changes have made cosmetic procedures a popular choice. The five years between 2003 and 2008 have seen an almost 500% increase in cosmetic procedures.

• The vast majority, or 83% of the 9.3 million cosmetic procedures carried out in 2010, were minimally invasive.
• Cosmetic procedures are no longer only for the very rich. The typical patient choosing injectable botox or fillers is a working woman, married, age between 40 and 55, and she has three kids. These results from a survey of 687 members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) in 2009 also showed that almost half of the patients had household incomes of less than $100,000.
• Cosmetic procedures have become simpler over tine and the ASAPS reports that the five most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedures can be performed without general anesthesia.
• In fact with Ultherapy, a new nonsurgical procedure for lifting sagging skin, you can resume work or other activities within an hour of receiving treatment.

Coolscupting treatments for obesity
Obesity is defined as a body weight that is 10 to 20% higher than the normal as defined by a standard height/weight chart. Obesity is a problem that touches nearly epidemic proportions in the U.S., and more than two-thirds of all adults are considered obese.
The causes of obesity are complex but it can pose serious health risks. Data for 2014 released by the ASAPS shows that non-surgical fat reduction procedures increased by 43% that year. In 2015, more than 100,000 such procedures were performed.
Coolsculpting is a new procedure that freezes the body’s fat cells with suction and cooling plates. This destroys the fat cells in the treatment area. Each treatment destroys around 25 percent of the fat cells in the areas treated.

Ultherapy tightens sagging skin
Ultherapy used the power of ultrasound to lift sagging skin. An immensely popular non-invasive treatment, it is most often used for the face, neck and decolletage. It has been used by more than half a million people around the world. Along with Botox injections, it is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures.

For obesity and problems associated with ageing, treatments like notice, ultherapy, hormone replacement therapy and cool sculpting offer simple, noninvasive therapies. Many of the problems associated with aging can be solved through cosmetic procedures. For home health care, specialized agencies can provide qualified staff.
