IT’S lunchtime. Do you a) gobble a sandwich at your desk b) mindlessly click ‘Add to cart’ until your break is over or c) duck out of the office for a quick lunchtime makeover?

Once a massive commitment requiringweeks off work and a hefty bank balance, cosmetic treatments are now becoming a lunchtime affair, treating everything from premature ageing to snoring to varicose veins while barely leaving your desk.

“There are no scalpels, no cutting, stitching or bandages; it’s about achieving excellent results with modern technology,” says Dr Buddy Beaini, director of MD Cosmedical Solutions. Dr Beaini walks us through the most popular options:

QUICK FACE FIXESWant to look younger by dinner time? Non-surgical facelifts are among Dr Beaini’s most popular treatments and some of the easiest to achieve over lunch.

Beloved by celebrities, Thermage CPT uses radio frequencies to heat the bottom layer of skin, tightening existing collagen fibres and promoting new growth, resulting in tighter, smoother skin.

For the Fotona laser light peel, a specialised laser is used to rejuvenate and resurface the skin on the face, neck, décolletage and hands. Both treatments take between 30 and 90 minutes..

STOP YOUR SNORINGYou might not see the results until later that night, but snoring and sleep apnoea treatments are a popular lunchtime fix, using laser technology to strengthen the loose skin in the throat and nose that causes you to snore. “It feels like drinking a warm cup of tea,” says Dr Beaini.

Each session takes around 20 minutes, with most patients requiring a course of three treatments.

TREAT INCONTINENCEIt’s an awkward thing to talk about, but menopause and the effects of childbirth can often leave you with problems downstairs, including dryness, loss of sensation and stress incontinence.

Fortunately, the fix is straightforwardand quick enough to not leave you making awkward excuses to your boss. Using a specialised laser, Aphrodite vaginal rejuvenation concentrates on tightening the fascia, tissue and ligaments surrounding the vagina, and promotes collagen growth.

For stress incontinence, the Aphroditebladder restoration focuses on strengthening the tissue supporting the bottom wall of the urethra.

Each treatment takes about 20 minutes, and a course of three sessions two weeks apart is recommended.

BEST OF THE RESTWant more? Wrinkle injections, dermal fillers and liquid facelifts are all quick treatments that instantly give a fresher and more defined look to the face, while unsightly veins and capillaries on the face and legs can easily be targeted and removed through lunchtime laser treatments.

Lipomedix Contour body sculpting usesultrasonic waves to target the stomach and mid-section, things and upper arms, destroying fat cells and cellulite.

“It’s a lot cheaper and much safer thanliposuction,” Dr Beaini says..
