From laser hair removal to stretch mark treatments: The rise of non-surgical options
Cosmetic surgery is still a step too far for many people, particularly those who are not overly affected by their so-called bodily or facial imperfections but still wish to make small changes, and for these people, the rise of effective non-surgical options that require little to no downtime is truly exciting. People have preoccupations with all sorts of things, from unwanted, excessive or particularly dark facial or body hair, and stretch marks, to fine lines and wrinkles and love handles, and gone are the days when treatments for these either didn’t exist or weren’t effective for the majority of people.
Laser hair removal treatment is a great example of one of these once ineffective non-surgical options to a cosmetic problem – it has a chequered past, with various versions being released from as early as the 1960s that had little to no effect on removing or reducing unwanted hair and that were actually proven to present a potential health and safety risk to patients. Now, laser hair removal works on just about every skin and hair type and can be safely used on every area of the body, including the face. This must of course carry the caveat that the treatment is carried out at a cosmetic surgery clinic that is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and by an experienced and trained nurse or aesthetic practitioner.
The same is true of fractional pulses of laser light that are used to treat stretch marks and scars and there is still only one laser stretch mark treatment available in the UK that has been approved for cosmetic use by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This stretch mark zapper can be found at clinics across the UK and consumers are advised to look for the FDA approval on the website before booking in for a free consultation.
Just as more and more celebrities are choosing cosmetic surgery and non-surgical treatments to stay looking young for longer, so too are the UK’s ordinary folk, with increasing numbers of mothers looking to get back to their pre-baby weight and shape, and men looking to rid themselves of their so-called man boobs, to name but a couple of increases in procedures over the last decade. But it is non-surgical options such as Botox, stretch mark treatments and laser hair removal procedures that are leading the way and being chosen my more and more men and women in the UK.
