Which Facial Rejuvenation Treatments Are Right for Me?
3 Minute Read:
When you look in the mirror, does it seem like your age is starting to show? Despite your best efforts to wear sunscreen and moisturizer, the lines on your face will eventually begin to give your age away, and, unfortunately, fine lines and wrinkles are not the only marks caused by sun damage and age. Skin blemishes, hyperpigmentation, and poor texture are all a result of skin damage.
Fortunately, there are now many non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures that can help peel away the years of damage that are hurting your complexion.
Are You Looking to Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
The most common sign of aging is the development of fine lines and wrinkles, and while some men and women wear them proudly, others are not so quick to accept the aging process. Fine lines and wrinkles can be addressed with a variety of non-surgical treatments, including BOTOX® Cosmetic, injectable facial fillers, ablative laser treatments, and non-ablative light treatments.
While these treatments approach the problem of wrinkles differently, they all address the concern.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neuromodulator that temporarily blocks the nerve signals between facial muscles that force wrinkle-causing muscle contraction.
- Injectable dermal fillers help fill in space beneath fine lines, wrinkles, and deep creases to restore smooth skin.
- Fractional laser treatments use laser energy to stimulate collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- Photofacials use intense pulsed light energy to stimulate collagen production, thus reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Are You Looking to Restore Facial Volume?
While BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are the most popular form of non-surgical rejuvenation, they strictly minimize the appearance of wrinkles. These injections will not add volume to facial areas that need it. Dermal fillers do. Dermal fillers are injected beneath the surface of the skin to fill out hollow or thin facial contours. These are useful in the cheeks, around the nose and mouth, in the lips, or below the eyes, deep below the surface.
Are You Looking to Even Out Skin Tone?
Skin blemishes, facial redness, hyperpigmentation, and age spots can form at any time and are not just a response to the aging process. Sun damage, unhealthy diets, habits like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, and stressful, dry environments can all impact your skin tone, leaving your complexion looking uneven, blotchy and chapped.
While injectable treatments can help with fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss, they cannot address the quality of surface-level skin. Fortunately, fractional lasers and light-based treatments can. These treatments can help reduce sun damage, treat brown spots, and even out blotchy or patchy skin.
Do You Desire Long-Lasting Glowing Skin?
Even the most powerful surgical or non-surgical facial rejuvenation results will fade if they are not maintained. Maintenance comes in a variety of ways. The first is sun prevention. Sun-worshipping and smooth skin never go hand-in-hand, and sun damage causes a host of skin problems.
The second secret to skin maintenance is finding the proper skin care regimen for you. When it comes to skin care, you are not short on options. The shelves of drugstores are packed with them; however, these products may not be your best bet. Everyone’s skin is unique, and a standard off-the-shelf skin cream may not be powerful enough to treat your particular needs. A daily, persistent skin care routine that is recommended by a trained and professional source, such as a plastic surgeon, is one of the essential elements of healthy, glowing skin.
