The ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) reports there were 10.2 million cosmetic procedures in 2008. Of that 10.2 million, 2.5 million were Botox injections. most recently on the scene is a “cold laser” liposuction treatment that requires no surgery, medication, incisions, pain, or recovery. The laser breaks up fat tissue which is dispelled through the body’s normal detoxification process. The procedure can be done on your lunch break and typically requires 6 treatments total.
