Noninvasive Cosmetic Procedures to Help You Look Younger

It’s pretty safe to say that most women of a certain age are concerned about the physical signs of aging. Age spots, wrinkles, and dark circles are just a few of the things that keep women, and some men, angling for ways to look younger. Although plastic surgery seems to be more popular than ever these days, it does carry considerable risks along with some pretty steep costs. Fortunately, there are some noninvasive cosmetic procedures that can take years off your appearance without forcing you to go under the knife.  

Craniofacial disorder

What Is a Craniofacial Disorder?

A craniofacial disorder or anomaly refers to a category of deformities in the growth of the head and facial bones. Anomaly is a medical term that means “different from normal” or “irregular.” These types of anomalies are congenital (present at birth) and can occur in many different forms. They can be mild or severe enough to warrant surgery. Sometimes, craniofacial disorders are also associated with disorders elsewhere in the body, causing further complications. In the U.S., nearly 600,000 people have been diagnosed with a craniofacial condition.

  • The skin on your leg and/or ankle has become dark or thickened;
  • One of your veins has become red, painful and warm to the touch;
  • You have developed a sore or rash near your ankle;
  • Your leg veins have become more pronounced; and,
  • Your leg symptoms have begun to interfere with your daily activities,
