For better or worse, technology has invaded almost all aspects of our life, including physical well being. Developments have been particularly visible in the fields of cosmetics and dermatology. This easy access to cosmetic procedures along with an over-exposure to the celebrity world has only given rise to unrealistic beauty aspirations among women; chief among them the desire to look flawless.

Fortunately, there are several treatments that give you a chance to achieve the perfect look without having to go under the knife and bear the burden of post-treatment scars. Though they may come with a hefty price tag, they promise to not only improve the appearance of your skin but also get rid of unwanted bulges. Here are some of the top trending non-surgical skin treatments available in Pakistan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals:

ThreadLift

An alternative to the traditional facelift surgery, ThreadLift revitalizes and improves the structure of the face in a way similar to a surgical facelift but without being too invasive. In this process, the skin is treated with specialized threads with a very fine needle to lift tissue and muscle, and enhance the texture of the skin. Right after the process, the treated areas are raised slightly, eliminating sagging and giving patients a rejuvenated appearance. Once the threads are knotted, they become hidden within the skin itself, and any scarring that results will be virtually invisible. As a result, sagging around the cheeks, jawline and neck is reduced almost immediately and with less risk than the conventional approach.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting, the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment, uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists efforts through diet and exercise. Once you are done with the treatment, the results are obvious and long lasting, helping you remain in shape.The original Zeltiq Cool Sculpting has already made its Karachi debut at Dr. Tasneem Nakhoda’s clinic, Lasersoft. A device that has proud claims of 1 million procedures worldwide; this machine completely alters one’s perception of non-surgical, non-invasive fat reduction.

It is not exactly a technique to lose heavy pounds but is ideal for someone who has tried exercise and diet to come to a desired body weight but still has pockets of stubborn fat not responding to anything. The best thing about Cool Sculpting is that it does not come with an age limit, so you don’t have to wait to be 40 to get that ultimate toned body.

Chemical Peels

For improving the overall appearance of the skin, chemical peels work well and result in smoother and less wrinkled new skin. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which first makes it blister and eventually peel off. Chemical peels can be done on the face, neck and hands. They help reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth, treat wrinkles caused by sun damage and aging, improve the appearance of mild scars, reduce age spots, freckles, and dark patches and improve the overall look and feel of the skin.

After a chemical peel, the skin is more sensitive to the sun for some time. It is advisable to wear sunscreen every day to protect the skin against the sun’s UVA and UVB rays.

Acne Scar Treatment

One of the advanced technological treatments available in Karachi to get rid of acne scars and other forms of skin damage is Scarlet RF - known to be the ideal treatment to revitalize your skin. It came about as a result of the link between Radio Frequency and Micro Needle Therapy System. With precise depth control, the micro electrodes provide direct heat to both the epidermis and dermis. Before the treatment, the affected area is prepared with a numbing cream so as to make the process painless.

Scarlet RF is your ultimate solution to improve acne and burn scars. Usually, results are visible only after a single treatment and last for the next 6 months. With minimal downtime, a painless procedure and no side effects, this treatment is advisable for all skin types.
