Facial Rejuvenation With Non-surgical Procedures

According to recent statistics, non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures have soared and surpassed traditional invasive surgical cosmetic treatments, with Botox, Juvederm and chemical peels being the most common. In fact, as of last year, facial Botox treatments were recorded as the number one most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure administered in the United Statesthere were over eight million treatments performed.

Botox is a highly purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles which causes facial lines and wrinkles to appear less prominent. Juvederm facial fillers are composed of a naturally-occurring substance in the body called hyaluronan. It is used to fill hollow tissue areas and deep lines minimizing the appearance of aging by restoring volume. Chemical peels have been used for many years in skin rejuvenation and are derived from basic chemicals known to inflame, exfoliate and destroy skin cells in a controlled manner. By peeling off the damaged cells, new ones come to the surface and produce a smoother, healthier-looking skin. Peels can be extremely effective on their own as well as enhancing the benefits of other treatments such as Botox and Juvederm.

A newer product, Kybella, is a non-surgical injectablefor reducingmoderate to severe fat below the chin, the area commonly known as a”double chin.”The injection contains a naturally occurring substance in the body,deoxycholic acid,which helps the body absorb fat cells. When injected, Kybella destroys fat cells resulting in a noticeable reduction of fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired goal.

Some of the other products and services we offer are Latisse and Pelleve. Latisse is a treatment to grow eyelashes for people with inadequate lashes. Pelleve is a non-surgical, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes radiofrequency energy. A unique device is used to saturate deep layers of the skin with this energy, reaching your skin's collagen stores. This energy gradually heats the collagen and causes it to contract. Over time, this stimulation causes the development of new collagen. Collagen is what keeps young skin firm and prevents fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Human skin naturally produces less and less skin with age, which is why you start to see unattractive signs of aging as you get older.

If you want to look as young as you feel consider these non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures.
