The Cost Of Modern Beauty Techniques

I get asked often about a lot if different kinds of beauty techniques offered in today's world of everyone trying to look younger!

So interesting to note, that most of these techniques will really aggravate IC.

Laser, juviderm, bo-tox, various kinds of heat therapies,e tc..all seem to have negative
and dramatic effects on the bladder. REcently, I had a patient do two out of three of these and she was in a lot of pain. Granted, she was also eating some foods that were not great, but, honestly, I  believe that many of these kinds of treatments contribute to inflammation and therefore pain.

So, please, at least when you are in treatment, do not have any of these things done to you!

Just curious -- are there any at all that you've found safe or relatively harmless?  (i.e. maybe microdermabrasion where it's non-invasive & no chemicals?).  Since the not-ok list is long, figured maybe there's a short list of what is ok so we have some more guidance.
