As our understanding and technology in the field of aesthetic medicine advances, so do the options for non-surgical beautification and restoration. Elite Aesthetics, a trailblazer in delivering innovative, non-invasive aesthetic procedures, recognizes the need for accurate information to debunk common misconceptions. Here, we dispel some myths to ensure you make informed decisions about these transformative treatments.
The Myth: Non-Invasive Procedures Deliver Instant Results
Like any good thing in life, perfect results from non-invasive aesthetic procedures require a little patience. Although you may experience some immediate improvement, optimal results usually appear after a series of treatments and over a period of time. For example, the CoolSculpting technique requires your body to naturally process and eliminate the treated fat cells, which can take several weeks or even months. The key is to wait for the magic to unfold.
The Myth: Non-Invasive = Pain-Free
Non-invasive should not be confused with pain-free. While these procedures do not involve surgery and therefore are generally associated with less discomfort than invasive procedures, some patients may still experience mild discomfort. Procedures such as laser skin rejuvenation or Ultherapy can cause a warm, tingling sensation during treatment. At Elite Aesthetics we do our best to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure with the help of numbing creams or other methods.
The Myth: Non-Invasive Procedures Don’t Have Any Side Effects
Every medical procedure carries its own risks and potential side effects. Non-invasive aesthetic procedures are generally safe with lower risk compared to surgical procedures. However, side effects can still occur. They are often minor and temporary, such as redness, swelling, or minor discomfort at the site of treatment. Always have an open, honest discussion with your treatment provider about potential risks and side effects to make the right decision for your health and beauty.
Hopefully this post will help debunk some of the common misconceptions surrounding non-invasive aesthetic procedures. Elite Aesthetics is dedicated to providing accurate and helpful information on all of our treatments. Each patient’s journey is unique, and knowledge is the first step to beautiful, healthy outcomes.
