People suffering from acne-scarred skin as well as those experiencing typical signs of aging such as crow’s feet, wrinkles, lines, and age spots opt to engage in non-surgical skin treatments called refinishing or surface repair treatments.

Most patients seeking smoother skin opt for laser skin resurfacing, which helps to remove scars and blemishes caused by acne, pigmentation, lines and wrinkles and sun damage as well as aging.

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.

These days, with job competition fierce, more people than ever before are seeking a youthful, fresh appearance through a variety of skin and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.

For people in the U.S., laser resurfacing treatments may cost between $2,000 and $4,000 per treatment. Botox injections cost around $450 for each vial of Botox, but cosmetic surgeons will charge between $200 and $300 for each area that is injected with the Botox solution. However, travelers to destinations such as the Advanced Medical Group in Jaurez, Mexico, or Ageless Wonders in Panama, Central America and the South America may enjoy the benefits of such cosmetic treatments at a savings of between 30% and 70% over costs found for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in the U.S.

Such savings in antiaging skin care treatments, body skin care, and Ayurvedic skin care are not due to lack of training or expertise. Professional skin care can treat acne, rosacia, and wrinkles, using advanced skin care techniques, natural skin care methods and skin treatment that may help give you the edge when it comes to getting, and keeping, that job.

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.

Laser resurfacing treatments may cost between $2,000 and $4,000 per treatment.

Cosmetic procedures are some of the most popular reasons for medical tourism. Going outside the United States not only ensures that the procedure will be less expensive, but the quality of work is comparable to more expensive procedures done nationwide. Cosmetic surgery procedure and affordable plastic surgery is designed for people who not only would like to improve the appearance of their face, breasts, buttocks, and abdomen, but those who require plastic reconstructive surgeries caused by accidents, genetic defects and other injuries.

Most Popular Cosmetic/ Plastic Surgery Procedures:

• Breast Augmentation
• Breast Reduction 
• Breast Lift
• Facelift
• Nose Lift Surgery
• Tummy Tuck Surgery
• Liposuction
• Chemical Peel
• Eyelid Surgery
• Facial Implants
• Skin Resurfacing
• Ear Surgery

Undergoing cosmetic surgery not only makes a person feel more confident and raise their self-esteem, but it also helps those who have undergone traumatic events to feel like themselves once more.  Men and women both undergo cosmetic surgery to feel youthful, since those who show signs of aging faster lose confidence in their professional life, as well as their personal life.

Cosmetic procedures in Brazil have been a popular medical tourism destination due to high quality attention and low cost treatments. Check out the Center of Plastic Surgery & Rehabilitation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for their state of the art treatment facility and resort like accommodations. This medical facility speaks many languages, including Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

A large percent of baby boomers (those between the ages of 45-65) are currently uninsured. Many who belong to this age group have lost their jobs due to aging, unemployment or downsizing and are no longer covered by affordable health care or insurance.

 

Traveling beyond local borders offers this group, more than any other demographic, the opportunity to pursue and receive premium healthcare, alternative treatments and travel, all at the same time. Boomers are leading the way to more affordable healthcare, seeking medical care overseas to address such needs as knee and hip replacement surgeries, cardiac care, and alternative treatments for chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, orthopedic procedures, and dental care.

 

American boomers needing dental care and prescriptions often travel south of the border into Mexico or even as far as Brazil, Argentina, and Costa Rica for their needs. Dental procedures as well as medications in Latin American countries is less than half of what comparable procedures and medications cost in the United States. Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia are popular destinations for those needing hip or knee replacement surgeries. Europeans are making trips to Hungry and Poland for dental and cosmetic procedures at great savings, even after including the cost of travel and hotel or clinic accommodations.

 

Hospitals in South America or Asia generally cost one half of the price charged in the United States and Europe. For example, cardiac and orthopedic surgeries performed in India can save health travelers nearly $20,000 or more with one surgical procedure.

 

The health and wellness industry is booming, and today’s older adults and boomers are leading the way to a new revolution in affordable health care known as medical tourism.
