How a Facial Rejuvenation Treatment is Tailored to the Individual
Facial rejuvenation treatment is made up of multiple cosmetic procedures that are used to address specific issues on the face. The idea is to create a fresh, younger look and reduce the effects of aging without having to undergo a total facelift. Treatment may include the use of a minor surgical procedure in conjunction with the use of non-surgical treatments in order to achieve a "complete" look. Simply treating one area of the face and leaving the rest alone may result in a lopsided appearance and undermine the effect of the work that was done.
Combining Non-Surgical and Surgical Treatments
Surgical and nonsurgical procedures and treatments are used in concert with each other to minimize insult to the body. Whenever a surgeon "invades" the face, the body responds with swelling to help repair the wounds that were caused and reattach cut muscles. This is part of the reason why it takes so long to recover from a facelift.
Minor surgical procedures including blepheroplasty (eyelid surgery), forehead, chin and brow lifts don't go very deep into the skin and muscle layers. A patient tends to have less downtime and is healed sooner than with a more invasive procedure.
Any or all of the surgical procedures go hand-in-hand with the use of Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, microdermabrasion and fat injections. Fillers work to plump out areas of the face that have lost their fat deposits with age, restoring a youthful look. Microdermabrasion takes off a layer of old skin, allowing new skin to come to the surface that is fresher and brighter in appearance. Chemical peels are effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines near the eyes and around the mouth. They can also reduce the appearance of age spots.
When everything is put together, the end result can be just as good as a face lift. However, while the minor surgical treatments last long-term, non-invasive techniques have a shorter life-span. Botox wears off in a few months and the body absorbs the materials in the filler over time. The beauty of these techniques is that they are easily renewed without a lot of effort.
Why Consider a Facial Rejuvenation Treatment?
Facial rejuvenation treatment can reverse the visible signs of aging without a lot of trauma. Restoring the contour of the jaw line or filling in volume in the cheekbones brings back the look of youth quickly and easily. The downtime is minimal and the results are seen quickly, a bonus to many who don't want to wait months for healing.
