Beauty Revolution: 4 Recent Breakthroughs
Ever heard of Carboxytherapy? What about Aquarejuvenation or sugar-filled breast implants? LipoSonix or UltraShape? All are recent breakthroughs in the area of cosmetic and plastic surgery that are sure to change the current beauty landscape.
Here’s the buzz on these beauty breakthroughs:
- Carboxytherapy is a new, injectable solution to the cellulite problem. The procedure involves the injection of carbon dioxide gas into the fatty areas beneath the skin where it works to dissolve fat cells. The gas also dilates capillaries in the area, increasing oxygen flow and preventing fluid build up. Treatments are quick and convenient, requiring no anesthesia and no downtime. Carboxytherapy is still too new to fully gauge its risks and benefits, but the initial response from experts in the field is enthusiastic.
- Aquarejuvenation is an innovative resurfacing technology that uses high-pressure streams of water to exfoliate the skin. The water is infused with various vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts before being applied to the surface of the skin, which has been treated with powdered fruit pits to remove dead cells. Aquarejuvenation is effective for enhancing the skin’s radiance and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Hydrogel implants represent a new wave in breast implant technology – cohesive gel implants. The implants, which are manufactured by Heritage, contain a cohesive gel made from natural sugars and purified water. Heritage claims that the Hydrogel implants pose a safe, more natural feeling alternative to current implants. Hydrogel and other cohesive gel implants, which are often called “gummy bear” implants, have not yet received FDA approval.
- LipoSonix and UltraShape are two non-surgical alternatives to liposuctions. Unlike traditional liposuction, which sculpts and suctions out fat, LipoSonix and UltraShape use laser and ultrasound technology to liquefy fat cells. Both technologies are currently undergoing trials but may one day offer patients a more convenient, potentially safer alternative to surgical liposuction.
