No Downtime Required!

Our lives are busy and taking vacation time to do something that does not involve palm trees and sandy beaches is not ideal for most people. At the same time, we all want to do everything we can to look our best. This can be a tricky balance when it comes to plastic surgery procedures since many of them do require downtime.  This post focuses on remarkably effective treatments that can be done in an afternoon or less and require no downtime.

1. Trusculpt3D. While liposuction is an effective way to get rid of excess pockets of persistent fat, it does require downtime. This will vary depending on your tolerance of discomfort, and the amount of fat removed. Trusculpt 3D is a treatment that is equally effective and requires no downtime. You can have the treatment done in approximately an hour depending on the extent of the treatment. Then go back to wearing your usual clothes, drive yourself home or even drive yourself right back to work! Results have been shown to be as effective as liposuction in many cases.
2. Laser facial. Some extensive laser skin resurfacing treatments do require downtime, simply because the skin will be so red and slightly swollen. Other laser facial treatments are more gentle but still incredibly effective. Laser Genesis is one of those treatments. You can have your entire face treated in an hour or less and go on with your daily routine. Your skin will look even better than when you walked into the clinic!
3. Botox and fillers. A facelift will require downtime due to the bruising, swelling and healing after the procedure. Botox and fillers really do not require significant downtime. If you have never had them before you may choose to have the treatment done near the end of the day in case of some minor swelling that should go down within a few hours. This does not happen to everyone – some people walk out of the clinic and immediately go about their usual routine and no one can tell. The results last approximately a year and no vacation time required!
