The economy may be in a slump, but the aesthetic surgery industry is getting a boost from the current economic climate.
MarketWatch.com, part of The Wall Street Journal’s empire, published an article detailing current trends in cosmetic and aesthetic surgery as determined by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. While traditional cosmetic procedures such as breast implants and liposuction saw dramatic decreases, services like Botox and Smart Lipo saw rapid increases in the number of services performed.
As patients opt for less-expensive aesthetic procedures, non-invasive cosmetic surgeons like Dr. Sam Assassa of Beverly Hills Aesthetics are sure to see a continued rise in demand for their services.
“In the current economy, of course people are going to opt for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures,” said Dr. Assassa. “They are less expensive, and a great alternative when downtime is not an option – people simply can’t leave work for weeks at a time to recover from traditional cosmetic surgery.”

Wrinkles. Crow’s feet. Frown lines. “Parenthesis” next to your nose. All of these are visible signs of aging – and can be prevented. We can’t turn back the clock on aging permanently but thankfully, there are ways we can slow it down.
Follow Dr. Assassa’s top five wrinkle fighting tips, and say goodbye to fine lines forever!
1. Avoid the sun. It’s the # 1 cause of wrinkles, with dozens of studies documenting the impact. Prolonged exposure to the sun can also cause age spots and even cancer.
2. Wear sunscreen. If you must go out in the sun, the American Academy of Dermatology says, wear sunscreen! It will protect you from skin cancer, and help prevent wrinkles at the same time.
3. Don’t smoke. Cigarette smoke ages skin by releasing an enzyme that breaks down collagen and elastin, important components of the skin. These enzymes do the most damage around the mouth, causing fine lines branching out from the lips.
4. Get adequate sleep. When you don’t get enough sleep, the body produces excess cortisol, a hormone that breaks down skin cells. If you get enough rest, you’ll produce more HGH (human growth hormone), which helps skin remain thick, more “elastic” and less likely to wrinkle.
5. Use moisturizer. Skin that is moist simply looks better, so lines and creases are far less noticeable. Additionally, regular use of moisturizer can prevent wrinkles from forming in the first place, when coupled with sunscreen use and adequate water intake.
