On average, women spend about $313 per month on their appearance each month. Over a year, that adds up to $3,756.

Over the course of a lifetime, the total reaches $225,360; enough to send a student to four years of college.

You don’t have to go under the knife or break the bank to accomplish your beauty goals, though. Instead, consider these non-surgical options for younger-looking skin. These minimally invasive cosmetic procedures can save you time and money.

You won’t have to waste weeks of downtime waiting for your body to heal. Instead, you can get back to your daily routine and accomplish your beauty goals.

Want to say goodbye to your fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin?

Read on to discover the top, non-surgical options for younger looking skin with this helpful guide today.

1. Botox

One of the best-known, non-surgical options for younger-looking skin is Botox.

People request about 15.9 million minimally-invasive procedures within the span of a single year. Botox was the most popular procedure patients requested. In fact, Botox procedures increased by 3% year-over-year.

Botox is an injectable (but not a filler). Also known as botulinum toxin, Botox is a neuromodulator. It can temporarily freeze facial movements around an injection site.

Patients can free wrinkle-prone areas like the forehead or between the eyes. They can also freeze the outer-eye region to fend off crows-feet. With Botox treatment, patients can still express themselves without causing existing lines to deepen.

Botox was originally developed to treat blepharospasm and other eye muscle concerns. In addition to treating wrinkles, it can also help patients with:

• Chronic migraines
• Excessive underarm sweating
• Lower limb spasticity
• Overactive bladder

Botox treatment works by temporarily blocking muscle contractions and nerve signals. You won’t require incisions or general anesthesia. If you’re worried about discomfort or pain, you can request a topical anesthetic beforehand.

Each treatment session takes about 10 minutes. Results last for about three to four months.

Botox can help make skin look younger by minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. Treatment can weaken facial movements to produce less noticeable lines.

Make sure to request Botox injections from a skilled medspa specialist or dermatologist.

Discuss any allergies or medical conditions you have before your first appointment. Remove your makeup and cleanse the treatment area beforehand, too.

Potential side effects include double vision, dry eyes, headaches, swelling, and drooping to the eyelid.

2. Chemical Peels

The request for chemical peels has increased as well. After Botox and soft tissue fillers, chemical peels are one of the top three most popular minimally invasive procedures. Chemical peels increased by 1% year-over-year.

Chemical peels are used to smooth the texture of your skin. Each peel can remove the outermost layer of your skin, leaving an untouched, fresh layer.

Your skin can appear refreshed, smoothed, and tightened as a result. Treatment could improve your skin tone, too. Other concerns include:

• Fine lines
• Sunspots
• Sun damage
• Uneven pigmentation
• Rough skin
• Wrinkles
• Acne scars

While peels are often completed as facials, you can also request treatment for the hands, neck, and chest.

Since treatment is non-invasive, you can resume normal activities after your session. However, your skin might feel sensitive for two to four days.

Make sure to protect your skin from the sunlight. Avoid wearing makeup for a few days, too.

You might experience peeling within 48 hours of your treatment. Peeling should stop within two to five days.

You can use chemical peels to reduce and remove discoloration, age spots, and blotchiness. Removing the top layer can produce younger-looking skin. You could smooth our fine lines and wrinkles as a result.

Talk to your provider to determine what type of chemical peel best suits your needs.

Light chemical peels remove the outermost layers of the skin (the epidermis). These chemical peels include alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and salicylic acid peels.

Deeper peels reach the next layer (the dermis). They’re ideal for advanced signs of aging, including deeper wrinkles.

3. Intense Pulsed Light

Intense pulsed light (IPL) uses light to remedy skin problems like pigmentation issues. It can also help rejuvenate your skin’s complexion.

IPL also treats skin concerns like:

• Fine lines
• Vascular lesions
• Redness and rosacea
• Spider veins
• Age spots and freckles
• Hyperpigmentation
• Sun damage
• Texture problems

IPL uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths instead of a single, highly focused wavelength. It also delivers light in brief pulses.

This process allows the wavelengths to absorb the skin’s excessive pigments (reds and browns). Treatment is therefore able to restore a more even complexion.

Treatment with intense pulsed light is also able to stimulate collagen production. Collagen can improve your skin’s firmness and tone.

Skin isn’t removed during treatment, meaning you’ll require little to no downtime.

4. Cosmetic Fillers

Cosmetic or injectable fillers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases.

As we get older, we lose facial volume when collagen and fat break down. Fillers can fill in the folds and lines caused by lost volume.

The results are usually subtle and therefore look natural. You can achieve younger-looking skin within a single treatment.

Cosmetic fillers are only a temporary option, though. Results might last up to a year or more. Your results can vary based on the filler you use.

Cosmetic fillers are often used to treat the:

• Forehead
• Under-eye area
• Cheeks
• Lips
• Jawline
• Chin

A few examples include Sculptra, Restylane, and Juvederm Voluma. You can volumize your face to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Juvederm Volbella is used for lip augmentation.

During treatment, the fillers are injected into the dermal layer of the skin. There, the filler is able to correct nasolabial folds and contour deficiencies.

5. Microneedling

As you review these non-surgical options to make skin look younger, you might encounter microneedling. Microneedling is a skin resurfacing technology. It uses the skin’s natural healing process to:

• Restore a smooth, clear complexion
• Treat sun damage
• Reduce skin imperfections
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Treat stretch marks
• Reduce rough patches and texture issues
• Reduce the appearance of large pores
• Treat acne or surgical scars

Treatment doesn’t require the use of chemicals or lasers. Since it doesn’t remove layers of skin, it’s considered safe for all skin types.

You won’t require downtime after treatment, either.

However, you might not notice results that are dramatic as you would with more aggressive treatment options.

6. Ultherapy

Ultherapy is one of the newer non-surgical procedures that are now available. It works by focusing below the surface of your skin. Ultherapy can tighten, firm, and lift your skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Medical ultrasound technology can deliver low levels of heat to the treatment area. The process stimulates the growth of new collagen. You can experience natural results for smoother, younger-looking skin.

You can use Ultherapy skin lifting for tighter skin around the neck, under the skin, or around the jawline.

Ultherapy is now the only skin rejuvenation procedure that uses ultrasound technology. It’s ideal if your skin is no longer as firm as it once was. If your skin has started sagging, consider giving Ultherapy a try.

You can schedule multiple treatment sessions to accomplish your skincare goals.

You should notice results within one or two sessions. The full effect will build over the course of two or three months. You can work with a licensed technician to develop your treatment plan.

They’ll help you determine how many sessions you’ll need to accomplish your treatment goals.

Ultherapy requires little downtime. The pain level can vary based on the patient, though. You might experience a little prickling or heat under your skin.
