Nonsurgical Cosmetic Options Appeal to Baby Boomers

Posted On : Oct-20-2010 | seen (482) times | Article Word Count : 608 |

As the generation of Americans born after World War II reaches retirement age, many of these "baby boomers" are choosing non-surgical cosmetic options, such as laser hair removal and BOTOX® Cosmetic. Denver plastic surgeons Dr. Steven Vath and Dr. Andrew Wolfe review treatment options and their appeal to the over-50 demographic.

The desire to look our best is universal, and does not disappear with age. Americans born in the 1950's – now approaching retirement age – are expected to live longer, more active lives than previous generations. It is only natural that these older Americans – who grew up in an age of innovation and prosperity – should explore the exciting options available for looking vibrant for years to come.

The "baby boomers" of today are choosing the two very popular nonsurgical options – laser hair removal and BOTOX Cosmetic – in greater numbers. While plastic surgery is still an effective and popular option for many older Americans, others find that the convenience and value of less invasive options is better suited to their lifestyle. For these individuals, nonsurgical treatments offer benefits that improve both their confidence and quality of life.

The Appeal of Laser Hair Removal

While the hair on our heads tends to thin with age, unwanted hair growth in other areas increases as we grow older. This may explain why laser hair removal at our Denver practice is attracting more and more individuals from the baby boomer generation. Women typically experience excess hair growth in areas such as the chin, cheeks, and upper lip. Men may be bothered by excess hair on the back, neck, or chest.

During laser hair removal, specific wavelengths of light are used to disable or destroy the hair follicle. This treatment is typically performed in a series of 4 to 7 treatments spaced over several months, and can reduce hair growth by up to 80%. There is little discomfort, and after the initial series of treatments, results can usually be maintained with an annual touch up.

Laser hair removal provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair, eliminating the hassle, mess, and expense of other hair removal methods. For baby boomers, permanent hair reduction may mean the freedom to enjoy an active lifestyle without feeling self conscious about excess hair.

BOTOX Cosmetic – A Popular Wrinkle Treatment

BOTOX Cosmetic is a popular option not only because it is a quick treatment with no downtime, but also because it is relatively inexpensive when compared to the cost of surgical procedures such as a facelift. Although BOTOX Cosmetic does not yield the same results as a surgical procedure, it can provide noticeable improvements to the skin by smoothing wrinkles and lines and preventing new lines from forming. Additionally, BOTOX can be used on several areas of the face, as well as the neck, to smooth out lines and wrinkles.

BOTOX relaxes the tiny facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles – those caused by repeated facial expressions like squinting, smiling or frowning. When crow's feet, forehead furrows, and frown lines are softened, patients find that they not only look years younger, but typically less tired as well. BOTOX Cosmetic can also be used to relax vertical neck bands – a common concern for older patients in particular.

For baby boomers with active lives who don’t have the time to recover from a surgical procedure, BOTOX is a great option. Injection treatments take approximately 15 minutes, and normal activities can be resumed immediately. Results are evident in 5 to 10 days, and full effects in 14 days.

Let’s face it: Americans feel better when they look better. There is no age limit on feeling and looking your best. For many in this dynamic generation, nonsurgical options are a convenient, cost-effective way to prolong their more youthful appearance, and help their outside appearance match their inside joie de vivre.
