Knife-free alternatives to cosmetic surgery

Knife-free alternatives to cosmetic surgery?

Following the Cosmetic Surgery Survey of Great Britian 2005, commissioned by Grazia magazine, results show that more than one in 10 British women has already had surgery and more than half are planning to have something done in the future!

The “most wanted” surgical procedures identified in the survey carried out on 1000 women with an average age of 34 include Liposuction, Botox, Skin Resurfacing and Eyelid lifts or bag removals. Among those that have had surgery, an overwhelming “82% said that they felt more attractive as a result and almost three-quarters agreed that it had improved their lives.” Interestingly, the survey also reveals that “78% of those questioned feared something going wrong and half were nervous about scarring”.

Although there is an array of gels, lotions and peels available to consider as an alternative, few of us are aware of the non-surgical treatments that work deep in the structure of the skin and supporting tissue, and produce real and lasting improvements without any of the risks, inconvenience and cost of surgery. And there really are effective alternatives to the “most wanted” list above.

SkinGenesis, the non surgical cosmetic skin treatment clinic based in the centre of Leeds and Manchester, has built its reputation and clientele through impressive results to a range of non surgical treatments including Mesotherapy, Microdermabrasion and Intense Pulsed Light treatments.

“At SkinGenesis, we offer a number of non-surgical treatments that provide a real and cost effective alternative to surgery.” Said Peter Beard, Director of SkinGenesis. “For example, instead of liposuction, SkinGenesis can offer targeted fat reduction using our no-needle mesotherapy technique.  Fantastically successful in shifting those stubborn pockets of fat this treatment is a quarter of the cost of liposuction, is pain free, carries no infection or anaesthetic risks and there is no recovery time. ”

With more than 2000 people through its door since opening its clinic just over 2 years ago, SkinGenesis offer treatments for both men and women and provide non-invasive procedures that offer cellulite treatment, hair removal, anti aging, acne treatment, scar removal even thread vein removal and pigmentation treatment. Some treatments can take as little as 15 minutes and you can continue with your day as normal following your treatment.

“A lot of our clients find their self confidence and self esteem rise fantastically as their treatment progresses.  The results come steadily and naturally, unlike surgery, and for a lot less money.” Concluded Peter Beard.

It is a universal truth that the quality, luminosity and smoothness of your skin are constant visible reminders of your health, fitness and wellbeing – so it pays to look after it but it needn’t be as painful and costly as you think!
