The economy will come back to life soon

I would be remiss if I didn’t address the ever sinking economy and ways to save even at your plastic surgeon’s office! Even though we don’t have as much discretionary funds to play with, there are still ways to keep your face gorgeous and not break the bank (those that are still in business that is!).
1. Buy packages instead of individual treatments. The cost per treatment is discounted by 10-30%.
2. Look into a TCA Chemical Peel instead of expensive laser treatments such as Fraxel , Thermage or CO2. The TCA is still my favorite and the most reliable safe treatment to tighten skin, alleviate sun damage, lessen and even eliminate fine lines/wrinkles and basically rejuvenate your whole face. And, unlike laser treatments that can be up to 4 times the price, it is proven to work and has far less risk.
3. Surgery instead of minimally invasive procedures? Doesn’t sound as sexy, but surgical procedures will last a decade or more- compared to 6-12 months with minimally invasive surgery. The cost is about the same for a mini-lift as for a Threadlift, the results last longer and are very natural.
4. Care Credit. 18 months with NO interest sounds too good to be true- but isn’t. Better than any credit card deal you can get, financing up to 5 years is also an option.
5. Look for special discounts on fillers and Botox and pre-purchase. You can save hundreds with planning ahead!
The economy will come back to life soon, but until then a little planning can help your pocketbook!
