An <\/span>Invasive Procedure<\/span><\/a> is a medical procedure that enters the body, typically by cutting or puncturing the skin and inserting instruments into the body. Another way to think of invasive procedures is by considering whether the procedure leaves a scar or not. Generally speaking, if a scar is left, the procedure is invasive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Typically, invasive procedures offer longer-lasting results compared to noninvasive procedures, although this isn\u2019t always the case. A few downsides to invasive procedures include the use of local or general anesthesia and extended recovery periods during which you may experience pain and swelling. Some standard invasive procedures are nose reshaping, body contouring, fat transfer, and breast surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Noninvasive Procedures<\/span><\/a> are medical procedures that do not require inserting an instrument through the skin or into a body opening. Over the years, noninvasive surgeries have become increasingly popular due to the lack of scars or use of general anesthesia, although local anesthesia may be used. Additionally, there is usually less recovery time than with invasive procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n Common forms of noninvasive surgery are laser skin resurfacing, facial rejuvenation, and injectables. It\u2019s important to keep in mind that although noninvasive procedures don\u2019t technically require surgery, they still alter the body. For example, Botox <\/span>temporarily paralyzes<\/span> the muscles where the injections are made, and chemical peels damage the skin to promote new skin growth. Also, any medical practitioner can offer noninvasive procedures, as they do not need to be board-certified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Minimally Invasive Procedures<\/span><\/a> involve making one or more \u201csmall\u201d incisions into the body while inserting slimmer tools and a tiny camera to help visualize progress. These procedures are generally very effective and make patients less nervous about them. Examples of minimally invasive surgeries are adrenalectomies, colectomies, and kidney transplants.<\/span><\/p>\n Laser Hair Removal<\/span><\/a> provides a convenient solution for permanent hair reduction without the need for constant maintenance. During treatment, unwanted hair is removed by a concentrated beam of light, which a technician guides to the treatment area. The directed light is then absorbed by the melanin in your hair, and the follicle is destroyed. Your skin is actually not damaged during this process, and you are left with either a reduction or a complete stop of future hair growth in the treated area.<\/span><\/p>\n For men, <\/span>Botox<\/span><\/a> provides an easy and natural-looking solution to aging. Botox works by safely interrupting the nerve impulses to the muscles, causing these unwanted wrinkles. Only small doses are needed in places such as your forehead or between your eyes to dramatically reduce the appearance of lines. Botox also has non-traditional uses, such as treating hyperhidrosis and Bell\u2019s Palsy.<\/span><\/p>\n Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)<\/span><\/a> treatments at Lowcountry Male are used for <\/span>joint pain<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>hair restoration<\/span><\/a>. PRP therapy works by utilizing your body’s platelets to naturally stimulate tissue repair and increase collagen production. The process starts by first taking a small sample of your blood, having the blood spun in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and finally having the remaining solution injected into the area of treatment using a micro-needle or injection.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h1>\n
