All of these gimmicky ads and devices promise dramatic cosmetic changes to the face and body without any surgery. If they sound too good to be true, it’s because they are.

Buyer Beware

The advertised alternatives to plastic surgery that we see today are nothing new. Snake oil salesmen have been around for a long time, trying to sell all sorts of suspicious wares and miracle cures to trusting people. We would all love a low-cost, easy way to enhance our appearance, but the truth is that many of these questionable products are not only ineffective, but can also be risky. These gadgets and concoctions are often unregulated, with no studies to back up their claims of cosmetic success and no governing body to protect you, the consumer.

Stick with the Experts

The fact is that successful long-lasting results are only possible with the correct procedures and experienced, certified professionals. If you’re looking for a nonsurgical alternative to revitalize your face, only trust a Certified Advanced Aesthetician to care for you. Their knowledge and training can ensure that you receive the medical spa treatments you need to obtain an excellent outcome.

Board Certified or Bust

If you’re looking for improvements that are more than skin-deep, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can take you, step-by-step, through the procedures that will be most beneficial to you, whether you’re looking for a facelift, breast augmentation, liposuction or another image-enhancing procedure. A board-certified plastic surgeon can offer you a safe, customized treatment that ensures true, beautiful results.
