Risk-free Technology

• If you aren't allergic to the main ingredients, there is one technological skin advancement that is considered so safe, it's even recommended for pregnant women. Developed in 2003, Air-Tan produces a bronzing effect without ultraviolet ray exposure. It exfoliates the skin and typically lasts for 10 days.
  
  

Long-lasting Correction

• Several technological advances in skin care create long-lasting or permanent changes. Two of these are microdermabrasion, also known as microderm, and laser hair removal. With both processes, you risk creating uneven tone in skin pigment by either darkening or lightening the treated areas.
  
  

Surgical Alternative

• Technological advances have created alternatives to skin-altering surgeries. Botox treatment involves the injection of a toxin to smooth wrinkles on the face. ABC News has reported that improper applications can result in impaired vision, difficulty in swallowing, droopy eye appearance and impaired speaking ability.
