Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) August 11, 2014

In 2013, Americans had more than 11 million cosmetic procedures performed, and spent nearly $12 billion on skin rejuvenation. However, reports show that non-surgical procedures are picking up in popularity, for reasons related to affordability and shorter table time. (1) Skinspirations, a center for cosmetic enhancement that is devoted to non-surgical aesthetics, spoke on the ULTIMATE SKINCARE & BEAUTE REPORT weblog on the simplicity of non-surgical procedures as compared to surgical.

Over the past decade, surgical procedures such as breast augmentation, nose reshaping and eyelid surgery have been popular among Americans. However, nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are rising in popularity, due in particular to decreased recovery time. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that Americans spent nearly $5 billion on nonsurgical cosmetic procedures just last year. (2)

Americans are starting to understand that many of their requested skincare procedures do not require surgery, commented Dr. Cynthia Elliott of Skinspirations. A combination of skincare products, services and devicessuch as lasers and fillersleads to effective treatment for the patient, and often results in no downtime.

Nonsurgical procedures can include the use of lasers, which can treat brown spots or broken capillaries. Dr. Elliott maintains that chemical peels can also be used for brown spots, in conjunction with dermal fillers to help fill in the lines. Elliott says that these procedures can often take at least 5 years off of the appearance of ones skinand in just one session. She points out that giving the client a more even skin tone is the crux of anti-aging treatments.

These procedures are also rather simple to administer. For example, dermal fillers require nothing more than injections, which are commonly referred to as a lunchtime procedure. Dermal fillers typically take no longer than an hour, and clients can see results immediately, while experiencing only minimal swelling.

Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. Dermal fillers can also be used to plump up thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, and improve the appearance of recessed scars.

The Skinspirations staff has had extensive training in aesthetics across the board, including in the use of Botox, injectable fillers, laser treatments, and injection lipolysis.

Elliott says that patients can do certain actions to prep the face or skin before non-surgical cosmetic procedures, such as:

Stopping all aspirin and anti-inflammatories is ideal; and
