Gift of Cosmetic & Anti aging treatments on mother’s day

CHANDIGARH, India - May 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Since the time of giving you birth, getting you ready for school, to facing your tantrums during teenage years, a Mother has always been with you, working tirelessly to make your life comfortable and happy. As a mother grows older, her skin gets thinner, drier and less elastic. Also years of usage of facial expressions while taking care of children, can give rise to early appearance of wrinkles on mother’s face. Many years’ hard work also takes toll on her body affecting her body shape negatively.

With every passing year children are finding innovative gift ideas of a perfect gift for the perfect mom in their lives. And for last few years cosmetic surgery and Botox treatment have become some of the most popular gifts for mothers on the occasion of mother’s day. Cosmetic procedures become more mainstream & acceptable in society and are now openly discussed in families. This has led to satisfied patients gifting these procedures to their loved ones and friends on special occasions. The annual mother’s day is one such opportunity to give a mother the gift she has not received before.

Amongst the most popular cosmetic procedures that are gifted to mothers are non-surgical aesthetic procedures, such as injectables like Botox & Fillers and various skin treatments. Affordable, fast, and with hardly any recovery time, injectable treatments like Botox and dermal fillers could be ideal treatments for the busy mothers. These procedures give dramatic results within a short span of time without committing for a surgical procedure. It is also a great option for mothers who have always been exploring the possibilities of cosmetic procedures but have not used them before.

“While traditional methods like facials and anti wrinkle creams have failed to provide any solution to aging woes, Botox has been successful in providing definitive and lasting solution in treatment of facial wrinkles” said Dr K M Kapoor, Medical Director, Anticlock - Age Reversal Clinic & Medispa, Chandigarh. Botox is used widely in women for the elimination of ‘Frown Lines’ between the eyebrows, ‘Worry Lines’ or horizontal forehead wrinkles and ‘Crows feet or Smile Lines’ around the eyes. Botox is however not given to pregnant women or lactating mother. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes & within days; one may see an improvement in the wrinkles on the face. Lines continue to improve for up to one month and results can last for 4-5 months or more. Similarly fillers like Juvederm can be used for Nasolabial/ frown lines and for lip/ chin & cheek augmentation with procedures lasting less than 30 minutes. The effect of fillers last for more than one year, after a single injection.

Many children purchase a gift certificate in a particular amount, and then let the mother’s pick their most preferred procedure. For those, especially daughters, who know exactly what their mother is aspiring for can book the procedure on behalf of mothers, adding the surprise element in the gift. But for other it is better to let mothers choose amongst the options available through cosmetic surgery to make a perfect gift idea. Popular cosmetic surgery procedures opted for by mothers are body contouring procedures like Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Arm lift; breast surgery procedures like Breast lift, Breast Augmentation/ Reduction and Facelift surgery.

Some mothers feel that they want to age gracefully and do not need cosmetic procedures. “Truth is that there is nothing like ‘aging gracefully’ by neglecting just the face and other physical aspects related to person’s appearance. Just the way we take care of age related changes in our knee joints, heart vessels & eye lens; our skin, which happens to be the largest organ of our body, can also be taken care of without any guilt or prejudice” opined Dr K M Kapoor. Some mothers also feel a bit shy in thinking that how would their families react if they want to have a cosmetic treatment? But a gift from own children can help them do away with any such inhibition. A qualified surgeon can make a mother look fresh once again. People, who have experienced these treatments, greatly appreciate the improvement in their appearance and their self-confidence. Mothers will certainly feel more confident after this treatment

Sons and daughters can pamper their mothers this year by giving them back the gift of youth and of good looks on this special day. They can be sure that mothers will be delighted to feel youthful and confident once again.
