New-age, high-tech treatments for a sculpted face and body.

- Meghna Sharma

Good genes and a healthy lifestyle play a pivotal role when it comes to maintaining a youthful body. However, the technological advancements in the world of cosmetic procedures are stirring up quite an appetite in those looking for swift results. Let's face it, when presented with a choice between slugging it out in the gym (or slathering on numerous products to achieve firm, glowing skin!) and undergoing non-invasive procedures with minimum downtime, it certainly isn't criminal to take the easy route.

According to a survey by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, India ranks fourth on the list, with over 9.5 lakh cosmetic procedures performed every year. But going under the knife to alter your face or body permanently can be a daunting decision. Bazaar India has collated a list of the most buzzworthy treatments for your perusal, with certain caveats to watch out for, of course. Caution: not all treatments are suitable for everyone, so do consult a trusted doctor before you consider them.

MORPHEUS + AGELESS BODYWAVE CONTOURING

Fact: our skin loses elasticity as we age. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Consider this treatment a 'time machine' to turn the clock back on your body with the help of non-invasive skin-tech, Morpheus8. Morpheus+ AgeLess Bodywave Contouring is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates the skin's natural collagen production, revealing fresh, youthful radiance. Dr Harshna Bijlani, Medical Head at The Ageless Clinic, says, "By targeting the deepest layers of the dermis, tissues of the face and body can be remodelled to improve the skin's texture, reduce wrinkles, and firm up sagging skin. And the AgeLess Bodywave Contouring treatment considerably reduces the appearance of cellulite." The treatment involves three sessions of Morpheus8 and Bodywave Contouring each, which result in smooth, bump-free skin.
