Are you a little wary of getting sliced? Don’t worry there are other options available! Welcome to the world of the “non-surgical facelift.”

We all know about face lifts, but how about the non-surgical variety? The non-surgical face lift gets rid of wrinkles and lines, and gives your face a much younger look. You can avoid surgery, but even better – you can save money. Non-surgical face lifts cost less than their surgical cousins. And, they have a shorter and easier recovery period.

Radio to the Rescue
One great way to touch up your face without surgery is Thermage. This procedure involves shooting radio frequency energies into the face. They heat the collagen and give you a younger, healthier look. Your body’s collagen droops over time, producing wrinkles, lines and other saggy features. The collagen responds to the heat by tightening up.

Thermage is most effective against sagging browlines, which give you an older and sometimes frowning look. The surgical solution is usually to get a brow lift, which involves incisions and a long recovery period. The only drawback is that the results are sometimes not so noticeable. This is on a case-by-case basis, so talk to your doctor if you’re concerned about Thermage’s effectiveness on your face.

Good Ol’ Botox
Botox is the world’s most popular cosmetic surgery, and it isn’t really surgery at all. Botox means injections of botulism toxin into your skin. Don’t worry! It won’t do any damage there. What it will do is relax the skin and tissue underneath the skin, to give you a healthier look.

Botox works best against wrinkles and the lines of aging. The only disadvantage of Botox is that it’s not permanent. You have to continue getting treatments if you want to keep the lines off.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are the hot new thing in non-surgical face lifts. With dermal fillers, gels are made from other parts of the body. These gels are inserted wherever they are needed. It is a safe procedure because it uses tissue from the body, which means that the surrounding tissue will not react badly to a foreign substance.

One of the things that make you look older is the thinning of your face over time. You get a “wasting away” look. This can start as early as your thirties. The purpose of dermal fillers is to fill up the hollows of the eyes, cheek and nose. They give your face a fuller and healthier look by adding volume to your face.

With dermal fillers, the results are instant. There is no numbness or trouble with unnatural moving, like some inserts. The recovery from the operation is quick. These are most effective against eye hollows, and are also good for general nose shaping. Dermal fillers offer a great alternative to rhinoplasty (nose job).

Thermage, Botox and dermal fillers are just three of your options for non-surgical face lift. Talk to an experienced plastic surgeon and find out what can be done for you. You can save money, have peace of mind… and lose the years!

In the last 10 years I have seen several acupuncturists. They were all Chinese who studied their profession in China. All the doctors I have seen thought that conventional and alternative medicine should be combined together, and that eliminating one totally, would be harmful.

Some Alternative Medicine Works, Some Do Not.

many people wonder if it works. My answer is – it depends what treatment you are receiving and how much do you believe in it. Let me ask you this: Does antibiotics works? Does all the pharmaceutical medicine you take works? The matter of fact is that all pharmaceutical medicine MAY fix one problem and MAY also cause another. So by taking it you expose your body to new diseases. Acupuncture, Tai Ci, yoga, meditation and many other alternative methods to heal the body including simply exercise, does work. They work on different parts of the body. One thing is for sure: None of these methods will MAYBE harm your body in any way. You not exposing your self to any diseases, and the only thing you do is helping the body to heal, NATURALLY.

I had to have an operation once and then I went to see my acupuncture doctor for maintenance of my body. After all, it was not a natural process but it had to be done. Because an operation involves opening the body up, thus exposing the insides to bacteria, a patient will be given a course of antibiotics. Antibiotics is a medicine that kills a large range of bacteria in the body. In our body we always have good bacteria that IS in charge oN proper function of our immune system but in some cases we have bad bacteria that causes infection. If not treated, that infection can be deadly. I started taking my antibiotics after that operation and when I came to see my acupuncturist Dr Henry Su I asked him if I should take the antibiotics since it causes damage as well as doing good. Can acupuncture alone treat the bad bacteria in my body and cleanse it in a natural way. His answer was: “You should take your antibiotics until you finish its course but also take the herbs I am giving you. Acupuncture cannot deal with a possible internal infection, for this you need something stronger than acupuncture. There is no contradiction in this case, and we sometimes have to combine traditional and conventional medicine.

Alternative medicine is designed to work slowly on the root of a problem you may have. To properly fix a problem, heal a disease or make any good progress one has to be patient and work on it thoroughly. Thorough work takes time, thorough work also has a solid base to success. There is no quick fix, and there is no instant success. In closing, heal your body naturally over time and enjoy a good healthy life for ever.
