April 12, 2019 | Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
3 minute read
Facial rejuvenation refers to cosmetic procedures, often used in combination, designed to promote a more youthful appearance. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, resulting in sagging, drooping, and loss of volume. Facial rejuvenation procedures reverse the signs of aging and seemingly turn back the clock! Most individuals are very familiar with the surgical procedure providing the foundation for facial rejuvenation — the facelift, but there are a variety of non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures available:
Microneedling
As a non-surgical option for looking younger and healthier, microneedling may be for you. Microneedling rejuvenates aging, discolored, and scarred skin by a series of micro injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. These micro injuries set up a wound-healing surge that increases the skin’s production of collagen and elastin so that your skin can repair itself. This results in tighter, softer and smoother skin than you’d ever hope without surgery. This simple office-based procedure can be done in as little as 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated. For added results, ask about including our PRP treatment with your microneedling! Using your body’s own plasma, you will see even more improvement to your new, glowing skin.
Facial Fillers
A Facial Filler such as Juvéderm, is another great option for non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in your skin that works as a moisture-binding ingredient to add volume and hydration back in to your skin. It is an injectable gel that is performed with a topical anesthetic and injected into problem areas quickly with little pain. Patients with moderate to severe facial wrinkles, creases, and folds may benefit the most. The treatment takes a short amount of time with minimal pain, very little downtime, and minimal side effects. Mild side effects include redness, bruising, firmness, or swelling at the injection site. Results are immediate and can last anywhere from 1 to 2 years.
Botox
Botox is one of the most common cosmetic procedures, often referred to as the “lunchtime procedure,” as Botox injections can take less than 10 minutes to administer. There are minimal side effects, and no downtime for these injections. Botox is made from a purified toxin that works by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles, resulting in the smoothing of facial wrinkles such as crow’s feet, forehead and smile lines. Results are noticeable within a few days and can last up to 4 months.
