5 Most Affordable Cosmetic Procedures

[Jagged0]

1. Microdermabrasion​

This procedure might be for you if you’d like to improve the appearance of your skin. The process gently abrades your skin to remove the outer layer, helping to minimize age spots and dark patches, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and wiping out acne and acne scars. Microdermabrasion should not be confused with laser skin resurfacing, which is more costly. The national average cost for microdermabrasion was $136 in 2019 (ASPS).

2. Laser Hair Removal​

Providers use a laser to help remove unwanted hair on your upper lip, chin or arms? Because hair grows in cycles, it often takes several visits to see hair removal, depending on the hair and the area, and may not be a permanent solution. The national average cost for laser hair removal was $287 in 2019 (ASPS).

3. Spider Vein Treatment (Sclerotherapy)​

Hormones, heredity, pregnancy and a host of other factors contribute to spider veins developing in your legs as you age, and spider vein treatment can drastically help lessen the appearance of them.




Experts inject a special liquid that irritates the vein and causes it to collapse. After sclerotherapy, your legs might initially look bruised, but the appearance will improve gradually as they heal. The national average cost for spider vein treatment was $343 in 2019 (ASPS). Some practitioners also use lasers to treat spider veins and varicose veins.

4. Botox (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin)​

Botox is botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the same bacteria that causes botulism food poisoning. Botox stops nerve signals and temporarily weakens muscles so they can’t contract and produce wrinkles. People use it to help with neck wrinkles, frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
For best results, experts often recommend injections every three months. The national average cost for these injections was $408 in 2019 (ASPS).

5. Dermal Fillers​

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in our skin’s second-most outer layer—the dermis, and also in cartilage, bones and teeth. As we age, our skin loses collagen and contributes to wrinkles and general aging of our appearance, including bags and dark circles under the eyes.
Collagen injections currently available are derived from either pigs or humans; pig-based collagen is more affordable than human collagen. Other dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, polyactic acid, fat, and polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres cost twice as much as collagen. The cost for dermal fillers was $652-$878 in 2019 (ASPS).
