2. Microdermabrasion
This isn’t too far off from a peel. Here, tiny grains buff away aging signs. Many brands claim to use diamond. It triggers an injury response that makes skin replace stripped away skin with a younger, looking smoother layer. Up to six treatments are usually needed a couple of weeks apart in order to get the best result.

3. Botox
Botox is one of the most famous non surgical options that many celebs get. It might be considered cosmetic enhancement, but is definitely not as drastic as surgery. Diluted botulinum is injected in the facial muscles and blocks signals which tell that muscle to contract, aka causes skin to wrinkle. Pain and anesthesia free!

4. Fraxel
This futuristic technique involves a fractional laser which uses CO2 and can fix all the skin problems from sun spots to wrinkles. In it, tiny micro-thermal zones (not unlike pixels) when encourage new skin to grow and replace older, damaged layers. It’s not unusual to look swollen after treatment, but recovery time is only about a week, and can last up to six months.
