Medical laser facials: For those who say no to surgery

There was a time when ‘ageing gracefully' was polite-speak for letting nature take its course if we weren't prepared to have cosmetic surgery to smooth wrinkles or lift sagging skin.

The only other weapons against skin ageing were using good skin-care products, staying out of the sun and going for regular facials. These days, going under the knife is still an option but can remain a last resort as we can now do a lot more to slow skin ageing as well as change the appearance of features we're not happy about without surgery. For example, medical laser facials can reverse signs of ageing and sun damage; non-surgical facelifts can lift the skin in just the right places; and with threads and fillers placed in the correct position, volume loss and sagging skin are a thing of the past. You can even opt for a non-surgical nose job! All of these treatments are completely achievable mostly without full anaesthesia, downtime, or significant discomfort, giving you subtle, yet undeniable results that will leave people wondering what you've done to look so radiant and refreshed.

Why are they called medical laser facials?
