There are new techniques in skin science claiming that significant long-lasting improvements in the outward appearance can now be achieved without the need for invasive treatments.

These non-surgical treatments are painless because there is no surgery or injections involved. They are safe and inexpensive as compared to surgical treatments. Another benefit of non-surgical treatments we may count is the fact there is no down time; you can head straight to work or party post the treatment.

Here is a list of treatments available and their main benefits.

1. Non-surgical face-lift through the use of a micro-current.
This non-surgical lift technique moisturizes the skin by increasing collagen formation (a protein constituent of skin essential for healing the skin as well as keeping it smooth, firm and healthy-looking). Treatment is a tonic for the face muscles, preventing sagging and stimulating blood circulation thereby producing the desired lift. Treatment reduces the fine lines and wrinkles and it helps firm up the skin, reducing the bags around the eyes and preventing sagging of the neck.

2.Glycolic skin peeling.
This includes the use of a naturally occurring fruit acid which stimulates new collagen formation. It leaves you skin looking softer, smoother and cleaner.
Method is especially recommended for those who have scars and acne-prone skin, sun-damaged skin and age spots, uneven pigmentation and uneven skin texture.

3. Micro dermabrasion skin polishing.
It uses a highly controlled spray of fine crystals to remove the outer layer of skin to reveal younger, tighter more radiant skin underneath.
It is recommended for those with blackheads and congested skin, acne scars and acne-prone skin, sun-damaged skin and age-spots, uneven pigmentation,
uneven skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles.

When you call a plastic surgeon to determine the overall
cost make sure to ask specifically what is covered in the
fee that is quoted to you. You should make sure that the
quoted price includes the surgeons fee, as well as covering
any fees for the anesthesiologist and operating room.

Many times when receiving a quote they will only inform you
of the surgeons fees without telling you that is all they
are actually quoting you. when in reality the surgeon’s fee
is roughly only 60-80% of the cost for the entire procedure.
This is to get you to make an appointment to see the doctor
which is when they will tell you the true total cost.

That can be quite different compared to the amount you
where told over the phone. It is also wise to ask if the
consultation fee itself can be deducted from the total cost.
Most reputable surgeons should allow this deduction.

Another potential cost factor to have clarified is, if the
surgical process takes longer then is estimated who will
burden the extra cost? This can turn out to be a significant
extra expenditure. If the surgery is done in a hospital the
anesthesia and operating room fees can accrue at an hourly
rate.

There are two more issues I would like to mention. It is
important to determine if you will be charged for any
potential revisional surgery should it be necessary. One hopes
they won’t need any revisional surgery done, but it is best
to not automatically assume that will be the case. Some
cosmetic surgery procedures have revision rates as high as
10-25%. If you or your plastic surgeon do not bring up
these possible issue, you may end up having to fit the bill
for these additional surgeries.

Lastly one should inquire if the fees for all future follow
up appointments are included in the total cost. It is fairly
common to receive anywhere from 9 to 12 months of follow up
care at no additional cost.

As for the prices themselves they are pretty uniform in the
United States on the whole. Although in some areas of New
York certain procedures may cost 30-50 % more when compared
to the rest of the nation. Below are some of the average
prices from the east and west coast of north America for
various procedures. Due note that these are the rates for
accredited institutions and surgeons. It is defiently not
worth the risk to try and save a few bucks by dealing with
non accredited practioners.

Breast Lift $5000-6000

Breast Augmentation $5000-8000 (depends on if the implants
are saline or silicone. Silicone being the more expensive of
the two.)

Face Lift $7000-9000

Liposuction $2000-10,000 (depends on how many areas the
procedure is done to.)

Nose Surgery $5000-6000

Tummy Tuck $6000-8000

Above are just the estimates for some of the more popular
procedures. The figures themselves come from a survey done
by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Imagine the splash you’ll make as you walk into class with a new short haircut, one that exudes confidence and style. Will your friends recognize you? Will the teachers do a double take?

Short hair styles are great for school because they are so easy to care for and they really make a statement. Short hair says to the world: “I’m confident enough to get rid of all that hair I used to hide behind. Now you get to see the real me!”

But making the cut won’t be easy if you’ve had medium length or long hair for a while. After all, some of that hair has been with you for years. So to help you make the decision whether to “go short or go home”, here are some of the pros and
cons of changing to one of the new short hair styles:

Pros:

A time saver, especially in the mornings when you’re in a rush.

Can be easily washed every day.

Requires much less care and conditioning than longer hair.

Looks sporty and fresh.

If you don’t like your short hair style, just wait a few months for it to grow a bit and try another short cut.

Your earrings finally show!

Cons:

If you’ve never had short hair, it can take some time to get used to that “exposed” feeling.

Short hair styles need to be cut more often, every 4 to 6 weeks, to keep them in shape.

You might have to use more styling products than when your hair was longer.

Some people will try to convince you that guys don’t like short hair on women, but don’t buy it! This is about your style, your comfort, and your confident new look.

How Do I Know if Short Hair Styles Are Right For Me?

One of the best ways to decide which short hair styles suit your face and hair type is to consult with a stylist you trust. Bring along some magazine pictures of styles you like so you can discuss their suitability with your salon pro. He or she will take into account factors like the shape of your face and the thickness of your hair before recommending a cut.

A great innovation lately has been online hairstyling tools that let you try different virtual styles before you make the first snip. These websites allow you to upload your photo and overlay various hairstyle images onto your headshot, with excellent results. It’s a great tool that’s easy and fun to use. (Suggestion: Invite your friends over and throw a hairstyle selection party!)

So before you make the leap to any of the new, short hair styles, do some research and find the one that suits you best. The new virtual styling tools are an exciting way to
update your look without the stress and uncertainty.
