• Skin creams and lotions to treat scars and blemishes.

• Hair removal lotions, waxing, and electrolysis in lieu of laser hair removal.

• Dieting and exercise instead of liposuction.

• There are several new non-surgical anti-aging treatments available in the market today such as Botox, collagen injections, and injectable fillers.
