Maintaining healthy, smooth skin involves understanding how the skin functions and how to protect and replenish against the damages of sun exposure, aging, acne, allergic reactions and injuries. It’s that time of year again, when people make new resolutions, promote positive change and most importantly, to defy the aging process!

Dermabrasion and micro-dermabrasion treatments, also known as chemical peeling, involve removing layers of skin to eradicate pitting, scarring, and pigmentation common with those who’ve suffered from acne or sun damage. In such procedures, a variety of chemicals in varying strength can be used to facilitate smoother skin. Common chemical peels include glycolic acid, which is the mildest form of chemical peel agent.

In the United States, most elective procedures and surgeries are not covered by medical insurance plans. The cost of skin care treatments varies widely between procedures. For example, micro-dermabrasion, which is commonly used to help eradicate the signs of crow’s feet, lines, and age spots, costs around $200 per treatment.

Individuals seeking affordable cosmetic surgical or non-surgical procedures to defy wrinkles and age flock to international destinations such as Mexico and Latin American to obtain the best in skin care and age defying treatments and procedures. Locations such as Perfection Medical Spa & Plastic Surgery in Cancun, Mexico or Dr. Tomas Brosto in Buenos Aires, Argentina, combine the best in vacation travel with the best in medical tourism.

For the best in cosmetic surgery in Latin America, or for the best cosmetic surgery clinics in Latin America, the best plastic surgery in Costa Rica or the best plastic surgeons in South America, visit PlacidWay for up-to-date resources and information on everything from rhinoplasty and facial reconstruction to Botox.

You wouldn’t trust your body to just anyone when it comes to plastic surgery, would you? You want to be sure that any surgeon who performs any type of procedure on your face or body is highly trained, certified, accredited, experienced and knowledgeable regarding the newest state of the art equipment, technology, and procedures.

Women seeking anything from face lifts to liposuction to tummy tucks to breast augmentation or reduction should take the time to carefully research any plastic or cosmetic surgeon and facility regardless of its location. Unfortunately, most cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures in the United States are not covered by medical insurance. This leaves many women seeking plastic and cosmetic surgery or facial reconstruction or body lifts in international locations.

One of the most famous and well-known travel destinations in the world, located in Cancun, Mexico, is also home to one of the most well-known plastic or cosmetic surgical and medical spa facilities in the area, called, naturally, Perfection Medical Spa and Plastic Surgery.  As one of the most renowned cosmetic surgery center in Mexico, the facility offers some of the best plastic surgeons in Cancun, and affordable cosmetic plastic surgery in Mexico that also meets the highest standards in quality care. A leader in surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic treatments as well as being the home to one of the most luxurious yet affordable medical spas in Cancun, Perfection offers just that.

Women seeking quality, affordable and excellent facilities such as Perfection can access medical tourism portals such as PlacidWay, based in Denver, Colorado for up-to-date, reliable, and detailed information regarding certified and accredited cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures, surgeons and facilities around the globe.

Why are so many people venturing abroad for their medical care? Why are expatriates returning to their homelands for medical care and treatment? Rising healthcare costs, uncertainty regarding Health Care reforms, and long wait times as well as limited options when it comes to techniques, methods and procedures to treat a wide variety of medical conditions that range from obesity and bariatric surgery to breast augmentation to sports training and rehabilitation, prompts individuals from around the world to travel abroad for their health care needs.

Expatriates from Japan, Thailand, Korea, and China are traveling to world-class facilities such as South Korea’s Wooridul Spine Care Hospital, while Albanians, Russians, Armenians, Georgians and those from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan are traveling to facilities in Croatia and Turkey.  North Americans are traveling to Mexico and South America in ever increasing numbers to receive affordable and quality cosmetic and plastic surgeon procedures, weight loss treatments, obesity and bariatric surgery treatments and dental care.

Citizens from France, England, Germany, Norway and Sweden are traveling to central European countries such as Poland, and Hungary for affordable medical care while South Africans increasingly travel to destinations such as India, Malaysia and Singapore for superlative, available, effective and affordable medical treatment.

This growing trend in International Medical Care, promoted by the Medical Tourism Board and Ministries of Health as well as medical tourism portals such as PlacidWay offer international patients a true choice in their healthcare options. Affordability, availability, quality, and effective care is available in medical fields from stem cell research and development to the latest in cardiac surgical procedures.

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, advances and upcoming trends in cosmetic surgery are hot and top of the list of discussions being launched by the Academy in recent months. Focus on patient safety, quality care and outcomes are under constant discussion, as are attitudes and results of customer and consumer surveys conducted in 2009. According to J.P. Faber, editor of New You Magazine, launching in 2010, “For every person who has undergone a cosmetic procedure, there are at least two more people who would like to.”

The truth is, elective cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures in the United States are not covered by most health insurance policies. When it comes to liposuction, tummy tuck procedures, cosmetic nose surgery, breast liposuction, abdominal liposuction, or any other type of liposuction procedure, patients are often left burdened with heavy medical care costs. Popular cosmetic surgical procedures such as breast reduction, augmentation, and breast lift surgical procedures often cost tens of thousands of dollars. A cosmetic facelift, eyelid surgery, thread facelift, and other face lifting techniques are also increasingly expensive and unattainable for many.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Denver, Colorado, offers an online resource for individuals looking for affordable cosmetic surgery that at the same time offers quality and sought-after results. Facilities such as Makeover Travel, located in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, or clinics like Ageless Wonders Panama, located in Panama City Panama, offer international travelers excellent care, superlative experience, and affordable cosmetic surgery treatments, procedures and surgeries.
