Straighter Teeth
Selfie-culture is everywhere, but it can feel like torture if you’re not ready to smile. For many people, the reason is crooked teeth. Gaps between teeth can also make many people feel self-conscious.
One of the most popular alternatives to cosmetic dentistry procedures is the use of clear aligners. Not only is this intervention non-surgical, but you can undergo most of your adjustments by mail! Clear braces for adults are invisible and less expensive than traditional braces.
You will be smiling for the selfie-cam in no time!

Tooth Whitening
Even if you have a straight row of teeth in your mouth, you may have concerns about the color of your teeth. How white are your pearly whites?
Tooth whitening is a quick and safe procedure that you can undergo at home, or even at a local salon! It uses safe chemicals to whiten your enamel and reduce discoloration. This is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures to try if you’re going to be attending a wedding or event involving a lot of pictures!

Eyebrow Shaping and Tinting
Take a moment and notice how professional actors on television or in movies use their eyebrows. They may not be at the center of the face, but they sure do a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to emoting! People unconsciously look to your eyebrows to understand your thoughts and feelings, so they should probably look nice!
You have quite a few options if you are looking to have your eyebrows reshaped, and most are minimally painful. Many people are fans of eyebrow waxing. Today, professionals use a variety of minimally painful and even eco-friendly wax products that are safe on the skin.
If you are considering a more cultural approach, you might consider eyebrow threading. This method originated in Asia and involves the use of a thread to pluck hairs and shape the brows.
Finally, many salons now offer one of the latest non surgical cosmetic procedures – eyebrow tinting. The salon professional will apply a little toner to your brows to darken them, making the shape pop!

Lash Lift and Tint
Putting on false lashes can be a pain. How often have you attempted to apply lashes yourself, only to end up with a cockeyed, spider-shaped abomination stuck somewhere between your lash line and your eyebrows? What if you could wake up looking like you had false lashes on, without the work?
You might consider going to a salon and trying a lash lift and tint. Your salon professional will use a routine of chemicals to gently lift your lashes, making them appear longer. They’ll be set in an attractive curl that lasts for weeks.
During the process, you can also have your lashes tinted so you won’t even need to apply mascara to get a dramatic look first thing in the AM!
-
Chemical Peel
Like it or not, your face is your calling card. If you’re not confident in the look of your skin, it’s hard to show the world who you truly are. Luckily, there are some non surgical cosmetic facial procedures that can help.
One is a chemical peel, which causes you to shed the top layers of skin and regrow them softer and smoother. It’s a great way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, discoloration, and scars. It requires some recovery time, but you can undergo a series of light peels to experience the positive effects of the procedure over time.

Keratin Hair Straightening
While curly hair is beautiful, it can take a lot of work to maintain. If you’re the kind of person who likes to sleep in, fighting with your mane early in the morning may not be your cup of tea. With keratin hair straightening, you can enjoy a few solid months of straight, sleek hair.
To achieve this effect, the keratin treatment enters the porous part of each piece of hair. It becomes full of protein, making it feel smoother. It is simple, but it can completely transform the way that you look!

Baby Botox
Do you want smoother skin without worrying about the many side effects of botox injections? Many millennials have opted for what doctors call “baby botox.” It’s a small dose, off-label use for botox that smooths the skin of the face without affecting facial expression or mobility.
-
Liquid Rhinoplasty
Have you dreamed of a nose job, but the idea of going under the knife makes you cringe? Today, many doctors can achieve the same effect with a “liquid rhinoplasty.” This involves injecting the nose with fillers to reshape any flaws, and requires zero recovery time!
The downside is that this procedure can cost somewhere in the ballpark of $1000. If you still have that magic wand, you may want to use it to fill your bank account instead!
-
Lip Blushing
If your lips are your best feature, you probably spend a lot of money on lipstick. After all, you want them to stand out! What if you could undergo a non-surgical procedure to apply a permanent lip stain and ensure your lips are perfectly shaped and symmetrical in the process?
This procedure is similar to the application of permanent makeup, so it does involve some needles. If you aren’t afraid, you can have a beautiful, more natural lip shape after a single appointment!
