Today Injectable fillers and Injectable Muscle relaxants have gorwn vast popularity over other methods. These are relatively safe and painless ways of improving wrinkles, creases, scar and acne prone skin marks, crow's feet and Forehead lines. Some common non-surgical treatments are:

1. Injectable Muscle Relaxant:
This is a painless and very popular method of treating forehead lines, creases between the eyebrows and crows' feet and signs of aging. It is also effective in lessening Headaches and Migraine Attacks and gives a natural uplift to the eye area. The treatment takes 30 minutes and the effect stays for 3 months approximately.

2.Injectable Fillers:
Restylane and Perlane are both natural treatments consisting of non-animal, stabilised Hyaluronic Acid, (which occurs naturally in the body). These replenish the body's own supply of hyaluronic acid which is lost due to the ageing process thereby making the skin dry and wrinkled. The treatment takes 30 minutes and the results are long lasting for 9 months approximately.

3.Non Surgical Facelifts:
Non surgical facelifts are helpful to those who are unwilling to go under the knife. It improves the overall appearance of a person and saves cost, time and other difficulties that a surgical facelift would cause. There are several non-surgical face lift techniques available, including the laser face lift, the microcurrent face lift, and ThermageŽ skin tightening. These procedures are minimally invasive, remarkably efficient, and practically pain-free. ThermageŽ has become a popular anti-aging treatment for men and women seeking a non-invasive facial rejuvenation technique. ThermageŽ is used by plastic surgeons and dermatologists to reduce signs of skin laxity and wrinkles on the face and body. Using laser technology, doctors resurface and tighten the outer layers of the skin, leaving patients with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. The non-surgical laser face lift does cause some minor discoloration and sensitivity immediately after treatment; however, these side effects typically disappear within a week or two. Also known as the Bio-Ultimate face lift, a microcurrent face lift involves gentle electric currents which are applied to the face, stimulating a natural cellular reaction. The effects of this stimulation are varied and include exfoliation and rejuvenation of the skin, tightening of the facial muscles, reduction of sun damage, and improvements in overall skin tone. Today, the range of natural face lift products is rapidly increasing and improving. Face lift creams containing highly concentrated solutions of amino acids like acetyl hexapeptide and alpha hydroxy acid are intended to tighten skin and reduce fine lines. Other natural face lifts include instant face lift powders and creams that can be applied at home.

4. Non - Surgical Spider Vein Treatment:
Sclerotherapy is the treatment for spider veins or thread veins. The treatment involves injecting a harmless sclerosing solution through a micro-fine needle directly into the veins. The solution acts as an irritant causing the vein to collapse and gradually disappear.

5. Non - Surgical Nose Job:

Further, droopy eyelids are lifted, bags under the eyes are reduced, and double chins are minimized. Other long-term benefits include increased moisture and elasticity of the skin and better muscle tone and jaw-line definition. Many women in USA have also reported health benefits such as improved digestion, less menstrual discomfort, decreased acne breakouts and so on.
