A mere decade ago, medical tourism was not taken very seriously. Much the same way as online schooling or dating, the thought of traveling across borders for medical care was scoffed at. Today, online schools provide accredited educations for millions of students, and online dating has become a norm. No longer is medical tourism thought to be only for people desperate for cheap medical procedures.

Today, medical tourism is the booming and growing industry. Individuals seeking cosmetic dental treatment, plastic surgery specialists, treatment for cancer, custom Lasik eye surgery, fertility treatment abroad, bariatric surgery centers, cardiac bypass surgery, or orthopedic surgeons may find excellent, highly trained, and world-class surgeons, procedures, and facilities around the world.

Medical tourism is not a joke. It has turned into a multibillion dollar industry that continues to grow. Medical destinations are not limited to Mexico or Southeast Asia, but may be found today throughout Switzerland, South Africa, and the Middle East, from Croatia to Guatemala to South Korea.

Treatments for stem cell based therapy, chronic disease treatment, joint replacement surgeries, professional skin care, and plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries are available in facilities that are JCI (Joint Commissions International) accredited or certified by international accreditation organizations.

Facilities such as the Florence Nightingale Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, or the Jordan Hospital, in Amman, Jordan are just two of such facilities. Facilities and organizations such as the Wooridul Spine Hospital in Seoul, South Korea to Surgical Bliss in Cape Town, South Africa offer medical travelers today state of the art technologies, highly trained physicians and surgeons as well as world-class facilities for a variety of medical care options that also offers affordability and convenience for medical patients.

Chronic disease treatment abroad incorporates may new technologies with some that have been around for thousands of years. Some of the most common treatment approaches used to today to address chronic diseases prevention include those that have been around thousands of years, and some modern developments.

Some of the most common technologies and treatments include, acupuncture, naturopathic medicine, biofeedback therapies, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the practice of Yoga and Ayurvedic medicine, as well as homeopathic medicine and herbal therapies and treatments.

Common chronic disease processes include back pain, allergies, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), asthma, cancer, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), cardiovascular disease, diabetes and arthritis, just to name a few.  According to the CDC, chronic disease conditions result in nearly 70% of deaths in the U.S.

According to a recent study, deaths caused by chronic disease processes are expected to reach nearly 20% in 2010 alone. Complementary and alternative treatments not only address symptoms, but may help development of chronic disease processes in the first place, such as diabetes, heart disease and cancers, through proper diet and nutrition, lifestyle counseling and back-to-basics herbal treatments that have been used effectively for thousands of years to promote health and longevity.

Facilities such as the Ahalia Ayurvedic Hospital or Makewell Meditour in India, or the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switzerland are the source of just a few of world-class programs in chronic disease treatment and prevention.

Today, global economic crisis has prompted older individuals to hang onto their jobs instead of opting for early retirement. Unfortunately, those in their 40s, 50s and even 60s must compete with those in their 20s and 30s for jobs. While older individuals may have experience and dependability behind them, managers the world over often prefer that younger individuals hold down the front lines, at least in high-visibility career fields. Cosmetic surgical facelifts are on the rise around the globe in direct response to this growing pressure and competition.

Any facelift, or rhytidectomy, treatment or procedure is considered cosmetic surgery. It is generally sought as a procedure to help improve the visible signs of aging in the face and neck area. A facelift may help to improve sagging; creases, and loss of muscle tone, as well as reduce the appearance of loose skin or fatty deposits in the jaw or neck area. While a facelift offers many years of benefits, it is not designed, nor can it, halt the aging process.

Unfortunately, the  average cost of a full facelift in the United States or Britain can range between $6,000 and $15,000 but some may be as much as $25,000! However, in South Africa, South America or Asia, the same procedure typically costs less than $3,000.

The Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switzerland offers year-round luxury for cosmetic surgery patients at huge savings, as does CTG Healthcare Group in Izmir, Turkey. This is not due to lack of skill, training or certification, but different health system management that also lacks the need for outrageous malpractice insurance.

Who isn’t concerned about aging? These days, more middle aged and senior citizens compete with the younger crowd for jobs and job security. You may be older and wiser than your contemporaries, but why look it?

The popularity of cosmetic and plastic surgery has accelerated in the past few decades. Thread lifts are the most commonly performed technique today that involve fairly noninvasive plastic surgical procedures as opposed to the full facelifts offered in the past. Thread lifts are cutting edge technologies that rely on the use of strings that are inserted beneath the skin and attached to basic structural facial tissues.

The cost of antiaging treatments depends on the approach as well as the type of product or service chosen by any given individual. Antiaging creams and shelf products may cost anywhere between $20 and $75 or more per bottle, while thread lift surgical procedures cost around $3,000-$5,000 in the United States.

Anti-aging and cosmetic and plastic surgical treatments are generally not covered under health care policies for American citizens, which leads many to travel south of the border, or to exotic destinations in Europe or Asia for affordable yet quality antiaging treatments. Individuals traveling to India, Thailand, Argentina, Costa Rica or Brazil in addition to the facilities found throughout Poland, Turkey and the Ukraine may save hundreds to thousands of dollars on antiaging treatments, procedures and programs.

Antiaging skin care products, Botox injections, fat transfers, human growth hormones (HGH), stem cell regeneration and rejuvenation and cosmetic and plastic surgeries are on the rise. Affordable age management techniques can be found at Ayurvedic resorts as well as the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switzerland to the Yanhee Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, among others. Why wait?
