Beauty In A Jiffy

The popularity of non-surgical beauty procedures like Botox and fillers have become increasingly popular as these are non-invasive, non-permanent and can be done in a flash with just a jab. The latest in the market is Macrolane, a volume expander that’s said to give subtle and natural-looking results. Developed by Q-Med, it is based on the same technology that has won Restylane (a filler that’s been used worldwide since 1996, in over nine million treatments) such wide recognition. Macrolane is considered a “lunchtime” procedure as it requires only between 30 and 90 minutes, and does not need a general anaesthetic or overnight hospitalisation. Macrolane can be used to contour and sculpt the breasts, decolletage, buttocks and calves, as well as to restore volume and smooth skin irregularities. It lasts for between eight and 12 months.

Those who undergo the procedure should expect redness, tenderness or swelling, but can return to their daily routine immediately. The gel is naturally excreted from the body and the process occurs gradually and goes unnoticed from day to day. Macrolane can be removed by aspirating the gel from the body if need be.
