Minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, such as fillers, neurotoxins (Botox) and laser device procedures have been performed worldwide on both men and women to decrease the visible signs of facial aging. The results of an extensive national study indicate that these procedures are generally safe and have essentially no risk of serious side effects.
A recent Northwestern Medicine® study led by Murad Alam, M.D., analyzed over 20,000 of procedures performed by 23 board-certified and experienced dermatologists at eight centers in the United States. As a Dermatology professor at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a physician at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Dr. Alam studied the long-held perception that a few different minimally invasive facial cosmetic procedures are safer than one more invasive facial procedure. It was reported that these types of procedures are quite safe and have essentially no risk of serious adverse events. Minor side effects, such as redness, bruising and swelling generally occur in less than one percent of patients and disappear on their own.
This study is good news for people undergoing minimally invasive facial enhancements, especially those who may have been apprehensive about the risks or side effects of anti-aging facial procedures.
Do the results of this study help with your decision to consider facial procedures?
