introduction

• With summer and the holiday season just around
  the corner, its that time of the year when we
  need to take stock of our physical appearance as
  we embark on rounds of endless travel and
  vacations with family and friends. This makes it
  a perfect time to consider going for cosmetic
  procedures such as a facelifts, unwanted hair
  removal, skin tightening, skin rejuvenation,
  anti-aging aesthetic implants, excess fat removal
  and other treatments that allow you to feel and
  look your absolute best.
• Non-surgical and minimally invasive med-aesthetic
  procedures have improved dramatically over the
  past decade due to advancements in technology.
  Modern aesthetic medical devices now allow great
  results to be achieved with minimal pain or
  disruptions to your busy schedule.
• Here are 10 cosmetic procedures that are looking
  to become big hits in 2019 and even beyond

Body contouring

• As med-aesthetic technologies continue to
  develop, more people are opting for non-invasive
  and safer body contouring treatments. Body
  contouring is a cosmetic procedure that uses a
  body contouring machine to sculpt your body by
  removing stubborn pockets of excess fat and
  cellulite to produce a visibly slimmer and
  shapelier version of you. This is achieved
  through a small number of pain-free treatment
  sessions with practically zero downtime, meaning
  you resume your daily activities immediately
  after treatment.
• Most non-surgical fat removal is based on four
  principles
• Cryolipolysis this is a process of controlled
  cooling that targets fat cells thus destroying
  them
• Radio frequency lipolysis this procedure uses
  controlled heating and ultrasound to target fat
  cells
• Laser lipolysis laser radiation is used to
  remove unwanted fat cells
• Injection lipolysis injectable deoxycholic acid
  is used to target fat cells

• Infrared light is then applied to help renew
  collagen cells and tighten the skin. Dramatic
  improvements in appearance can be achieved after
  a few brief (about 20-30 minutes) treatment
  sessions.
• Non-surgical body contouring procedures are not
  meant to treat obesity and your body mass index
  should ideally be below 30.

6
Vascular and pigmented lesions removal

• Vascular and pigmented lesions frequently present
  themselves as mottled or patches of red skin due
  to the formation of numerous blood vessels
  directly below the skin. The lesions can form on
  any part of the body and take a wide variety of
  forms such as port wine stains, hemangiomas,
  broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, erythema,
  dychromia, rosacea, mottled pigmentation,
  melasma, telangiectasia and poikilormera.
  Vascular and pigmented lesions can occur on any
  skin type and can affect people of all ages.
• Unlike other skin conditions, vascular and
  pigmented lesions do not go away by themselves
  and have to be removed through some form of
  therapy. There are three main therapies that are
  used to treat this condition
• IPL IPL stands for intense pulse light. IPL is a
  treatment frequently used for skin rejuvenation
  and hair removal. However, its also highly
  effective at treating vascular and pigmented
  lesions. IPL applies intense light to the
  affected areas of the skin. The vessels absorb
  specific wavelengthsusually 420nmwhich
  coagulate blood vessels and breaks up the
  pigmented lesions into tiny particles. These then
  disappear or appear on the surface of the skin as
  scabs. These scabs are naturally exfoliated
  within a week or two leaving a clear and
  well-toned skin

• A major advantage of IPL is that unlike
  alternative treatments such as chemical peels,
  laser resurfacing and dermabrasion, IPL is a
  non-invasive treatment that leaves you with a
  youthful looking skin with no downtime
• Laser skin resurfacing this procedure involves
  using a laser beam to remove layers of skin to
  reveal the younger looking skin underneath. It is
  also used to treat other conditions such as acne,
  wrinkles and blotches.
• Dermabrasion just like laser resurfacing,
  dermabrasion is an exfoliation technique.
  Dermabrasion is even more aggressive because it
  involves using a rotating instrument to remove
  the outer layers of the skin

8
Laser hair removal

• This is a med-aesthetic procedure that uses a
  laser beam to remove unwanted body hair. A laser
  beam is absorbed by the hairs melanin pigment
  and is converted to heat. The heat destroys the
  tube-shaped sacs called hair follicles that are
  responsible for hair growth. This inhibits or
  delays future hair growth. Utmost care is
  necessary to avoid damaging the skin pigment. The
  risk tends to be greater when the skin color
  closely matches the hair color. Further, laser
  hair removal tends to be less effective when done
  on hair with red, blond, grey or white color
  because they do not absorb light well.
• Some advanced hair removal removal machines like
  the sharplight photoepilation machine are able to
  achieve permanent hair removal by applying highly
  energy five-pulse beams to the hair follicles.

9
Acne treatment

• Acne treatment
• Acne is a skin condition that is more commonly
  associated with teens due to hormonal changes.
  The truth, however, is that the condition is
  extremely common and affects people of all ages,
  races and ethnicities.
• There are literally dozens of acne treatments
  from oral medications and chemical peels to
  steroid injections and topical creams all with
  varying degrees of success. Light and laser
  therapy is, however, highly recommended due to
  its non-invasive nature and high degree of
  success. These include
• IPL intense pulse light is effective at
  treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions. The
  same therapy is sometimes used for treating acne
• Photodynamic therapy an acne machine produces
  visible blue light which is applied on the skin
  where it produces free radicals in the sebaceous
  glands. The free radicals kill bacteria in the
  acne lesions. Yellow light is then used to
  coagulate blood vessels that feed the cells
  around the lesions and finally infrared light is
  applied to dry the lesions. Photodynamic therapy
  is able to achieve a 60-65 reduction in pustules
  and papules.

10
Tattoo removal

• Tattoos were all the rage in the 90s but seem to
  have cooled off lately. Consequently, tattoo
  removal has become big business. Tattoo removal
  basically entails using laser. Not all types of
  lasers are equally effective, and pulsed light
  technology is one of the most successful.
• Using this therapy, localized pulses of light are
  applied on the ink of the tattoo which decomposes
  the pigment clusters. The bodys lymphatic system
  filters the tiny ink particles and the body gets
  rid of them naturally leading to the tattoo
  gradually fading over a period of several weeks.
  Different lasers with varying wavelengths might
  be necessary if the tattoo is very colorful.
  Several sessions are usually required to
  completely remove the tattoo. How quickly the
  tattoo fades away usually depends on the
  proximity to the heart, with areas such as ankles
  and feet taking longer. The risk of side effects
  is usually minimal with no downtime.

Skin tightening

• Skin tightening is a cosmetic therapy used to
  tighten lax or crepey skin on the face, neck and
  body. Skin tightening is used to reverse the
  effects of aging including sagging skin, creases,
  folds and wrinkles in a safe and non-invasive way
  by restoring a firmer and more youthful skin.
• Skin tightening therapies use different
  techniques to achieve the desired result. The
  most effective are
• Ultrasound skin tightening ultrasound energy is
  delivered through a handheld aesthetic medical
  device to treat the skin on neck, chin, brow and
  chest
• Radiofrequency treatments unlike ultrasound
  which reaches deeper layers of the skin,
  radiofrequency therapy targets the epidermal
  layer where it stimulates the production of
  collagen for a firmer and smoother skin. Some
  procedures, however, are subdermal and may
  require small incision on the skin under local
  anesthesia
• IPL/RF combinations this therapy uses a
  combination of intense pulsed light and
  radiofrequency energy to stimulate the skin to
  produce collagen which makes the skin firmer and
  more youthful looking. In an even more advanced
  therapy, SharpLight skin tightening machine uses
  a combination of IPL, radiofrequency, and
  infrared technologies to achieve more dramatic
  results in a shorter time.

12
Skin resurfacing

• Skin resurfacing is a skin therapy that uses
  laser energy to reduce facial wrinkles and
  various skin irregularities including scarring,
  acne and blemishes. Skin resurfacing is done to
  reduce signs of photo aging leaving you with a
  younger looking face, hands and legs.
• Laser resurfacing, also known as laser peel,
  laser vaporization and lasabrasion, is a
  technique that involves sending short pulsating
  beams of light at the skin and removing one layer
  after the other thus exposing younger and
  healthier skin beneath. The practitioner chooses
  the appropriate laser strength and depth
  according to the patients needs. Good results
  can be achieved in just 1-3 sessions with minimal
  side effects.

13
MiraDRY

• For people who suffer from hyperactive sweat
  glands or excessive body odor, theres a new
  therapy in town that promises to solve your
  nightmare for good. Miradry is a fda-approved
  non-invasive device that can be used to
  permanently remove sweat and odor glands
  especially in the armpits. Its better than botox
  in that botox has to repeated every 4 months
  whereas miradry is a permanent one-time solution
  with minimal downtime. Even people who produce
  normal amounts of sweat but want to get rid of
  sweat stains on their clothes can use the
  procedure.
• MiraDRY is a handheld device that works by
  producing beams of electromagnetic energy which
  is directed to the underarm. The precisely
  controlled beams of radiation produce heat which
  kills the sweat glands resulting in 80 reduction
  in underarm sweat glands. The treatment usually
  leads to slight soreness for about 24 hours and
  wild swelling for a week or two.

14
Secret RF Microneedling

• Secret RF is a therapy that combines
  microneedling technology for skin surface
  rejuvenation with deep radiofrequency treatment
  to stimulate collagen production. Its a therapy
  thats used to treat stretch marks and scars.
• Secret rf is an invasive treatment because it
  involves using gold-plated needles to deliver rf
  energy to depths of several millimeters under the
  skin. The tiny wounds heal and the skin is
  naturally rejuvenated thus improving tone and
  texture. Downtime is about 24-48 hours though it
  can be more or less depending on how the
  patients body reacts.

15
Chemical peels

• Chemical peels is another skin exfoliation
  therapy that is used to improve the appearance of
  the skin by removing old skin to expose a clearer
  and youthful looking complexion. In this
  treatment, chemical solutions are applied to the
  skin which then blisters and peels off. The
  strength of the chemical peels vary in strength
  with stronger solutions needing more recovery
  time. The therapy is used to treat sun damage,
  deep wrinkles and acne scarring. Its strongly
  advisable to avoid doing a deep peel at home due
  to the danger of damaging your skin.
• Once the preserve of hollywood stars,
  non-surgical med-aesthetic treatments continue to
  grow in popularity every year with both women and
  men increasingly embracing them (men now account
  for around 10 of cosmetic procedures). For
  practitioners who offer these therapies, it's
  imperative to look for an aesthetic medical
  devices vendor that you can trust and one that
  offers appropriate after-sale services including
  training and maintenance services.
