Summer is almost here, although in some places it feels like it’s been summer for at least a few weeks now. The heat and humidity can be unbearable, depending on where you are vacationing (or not). Still, if you’re traveling or not, you might want to keep that skin in tip-top shape. And how best can you do this and see immediate results? Non-surgical cosmetic treatments of course. I know some of you might be giving me the side-eye, but if you really want fast, effective and lasting results, you have to go the aesthetics route! And they’re non-surgical cosmetic treatments anyway, so there’s no downtime or scarring.

Non-surgical Cosmetic Treatments you Should Try Out
Non-surgical eyelid lift with Plexr plasma
Hooded eyelids? Check. Sagging eyelids due to fat accumulation? Still, check? Then this is the best treatment for you; if you’d rather not go under the knife. According to Dr. Lola Ali Muhammad, a medical aesthetician in Dubai, Plexr plasma is a non-surgical eyelid lifting treatment that sublimates excess fat from the lower and upper eyelids by regenerating plasma, and as a result, tightens the skin around this area. This Plexr plasma treatment in Dubai uses a Plexr pen device and takes about 40 minutes to tighten and lift the skin. Immediately after the treatment, you might have some redness around the eyes, which lasts for a couple of days, and then the tissue regeneration kicks in.

Fat freezing with CoolSculpting
This is one of the trending non-surgical cosmetic treatments this summer, and so far, it has been done by over 7 million people worldwide. In fact, it’s considered the leading fat reduction treatment used by doctors. If you’re looking to sculpt your body through targeted fat reduction without surgery or any downtime, says Dr. Adnan Tahir, a Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon in Dubai, then you should consider CoolSculpting in Dubai. This non-surgical body sculpting procedure targets stubborn fat pockets on different areas of the body including the chin (double chin anyone?), lower and upper abdomen, back, outer and inner thighs, and bat wings (upper arms).
The treatment uses controlled cooling to freeze the stubborn fat, which is then eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. After your CoolSculpting treatment in Dubai, which takes 35 minutes per area, you can easily go back to your daily activities and watch the target area start shrinking. Results start showing after a couple of weeks, with full results being seen after 8 to 12 weeks. Note that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment but a fat reduction procedure that targets fat bulges that don’t respond to diet or exercise.
Permanent Hair Reduction with Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular hair removal techniques, and it uses an IPL laser to zap unwanted body hair to oblivion. It does this by targeting the root of the hair. Most laser clinics, according to Amira Nassar, a laser and skincare specialist, promote the treatment as a permanent way to get rid of unwanted body hair, which is not true. “In reality, the treatment reduces hair with every session.” This means that the more you do the treatment, the less hair grows back, and eventually, you are left with vellus hair, which is very thin and barely noticeable. One session takes anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes depending on the size of the target area. Immediately after your laser hair removal in Dubai, you can go back to your daily activities without worry.

Instant skin hydration with Volite
Having well-hydrated skin is your key to youthful looks, and most trending non-surgical cosmetic treatments, especially the ones that target the skin, are done to improve hydration, hence correcting skin imperfections. “The skin hydration booster treatment with Volite injections in Dubai instantly hydrates, and as a result improves the skin’s quality,” explains Dr. Rory McGoldrick, another Consultant Plastic Surgeon. Volite, which consists of HA (Hyaluronic Acid), works by wiping away fine lines and wrinkles and delivers smoother and supple skin in the process while improving elasticity. One session of Volite injections can last up to nine months. The treatment usually targets the face, but it can also be used to rejuvenate the neck, décolletage, and hands.

HydraFacial Treatment
HydraFacial is another skin-hydrating nonsurgical treatment that uses a hydra-dermabrasion process to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, hydrate, and infuse the skin with replenishing nutrients and antioxidants. The treatment is considered gentle and soothing and has zero downtime. It usually lasts for about 30 minutes after which you’ll immediately notice moisturized, glowing, and smooth skin with reduced fine lines and wrinkles (if you have any). The glow lasts for about 10 days, while the rest of the benefits can last up to 30 days. To keep your skin naturally glowing, fresh, and hydrated, you are advised to do a HydraFacial treatment session at least once a month. After all, why do you think celebrities’ faces are always looking fresh and smooth? It is considered one of Hollywood’s beauty secrets. Immediately after your HydraFacial treatment in Dubai, you should apply a high-spectrum sunscreen before heading out.
