People are backing off from more aggressive surgeries and moving toward non invasive treatments that come with no harmful effects, down time, or discomfort.

With cosmetic enhancement within easy reach and the desire to look good deeply entrenched in the mindset, more and more people are seeking the latest wave of new skin tightening procedures to erase the tell-tale signs of ageing.

We, at The Med Guru help you check out 6 non-surgical choices that can rejuvenate your face.

1. Botox:
This is the most popular wrinkle reduction treatment that smoothens out frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet, and neck bands in a subtle way.

Botox is a natural protein that works by relaxing the muscle beneath the wrinkles. Touted as the “lunch-time procedure” it takes just 10 minutes with results visible within 4 days. The formula though effective, needs to be repeated every three to six months.

2. Ethocyn Product Treatment:
According to dermatologists, ethocyn is the only ingredient known to increase the important elastin fiber (skin's rubberbands).

It can give someone in her 40’s the elastin of a 20-year-old. The serum applied twice daily for a period of two months revitalises skin tone and texture.

Ema Trinidad, aesthetics director and owner of S2, Spa and Anti-Ageing Center in Bengaluru stated, "Products containing Ethocyn work by prompting specific skin cells to manufacture optimum amounts of elastin, which maintain the skin’s firmness in the face and neck”

3. Collagen Injections:
As we age, the natural collagen in the body depletes which causes visible signs of distress on the skin, like sagging and wrinkles.

Collagen fillers plump up and smooth out the skin’s appearance. The treatment takes anything between 30 to 60 minutes and the results last up to six months.

4. Thermage:
Thermage treatment can successfully tighten the neck and jaw line areas, and enhance facial appearance.

With no surgery and no injections, thermage skin tightening and contouring heats the deeper layers of the skin through radio frequency, encouraging collagen production. The treatment takes about 90 minutes and results are discernable in 2 to 3 weeks.

5. Laser Tightening:
Laser skin tightening is a no-downtime procedure that is very effective in improving facial skin tone and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

This procedure uses an infrared light that creates microscopic tears deep within the skin to stimulate the skin cells to naturally produce more collagen.

Improvement in skin texture is evident after 30 minutes of treatment. For optimal results, the technique requires about three to four sittings about a month apart.

6. Wrinkle Iron Facial:
This process uses low level galvanic currents to deliver essential antioxidants from a serum into the skin for improved cleaning, hydration, circulation, and glow.

It is a great pre-party ritual that takes about 80 minutes per sitting, has no recovery time and the effects last for two to three weeks.

Remember, opting for any procedure is an important decision that should be made prudently. The key is to seek advice of an experienced doctor who is well trained in all aspects of facial rejuvenation.

Such a person will lay out all your options with the pros and cons of each, so that you can pick the treatment that best suits your needs!
