Facial and Hand Rejuvenation

Over the years, your face begins to lose collagen and elastin, which contribute to sagging facial features. The loss of facial volume and elasticity also leads to the formation of wrinkles, creases and folds.

During the past few years, plastic surgeons began treating wrinkles with newly FDA-approved products such as Juvederm, Restylane, BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport and Radiesse. After one non-surgical treatment, your facial features can show a gentle lift and you will look years younger.

Liquid facelift is a term that is becoming more popular and refers to a complete facial rejuvenation through the use of dermal fillers in combination with BOTOX Cosmetic. Precisely placed, the dermal fillers can be used to lift, contour, and volumize any number of facial features. It often involves filling of the major folds on the face, restoring and volumizing lips, as well as correcting other features of aging especially the cheeks, around the lips and jowls. This is a relatively painless one-hour procedure that can result in someone easily looking 10 years younger.

Advantages of the Liquid Face Lift

The most obvious advantage of the liquid facelift is that improvements in the appearance of lines, wrinkles and sagging skin are similar and achieved without actual surgery. The use of dermal fillers to plump up and fill out the face means that patients have a much less invasive option than was previously available to them. There is usually no significant downtime required following the procedure. Another advantage of a liquid facelift, in many cases, is a more natural-looking result.

Hand Rejuvenation

Hands tell time. No matter what we do, it's inevitable that our hands will age showing loss of volume through the natural course of aging. Besides loss of volume in the hands, sunspots are also signs of aging caused by sun exposure.

For volume loss, hands can be treated by using the FDA-approved dermal filler, Radiesse.

Radiesse provides an immediate volumizing effect to help reduce the prominence of tendons and veins, creating smooth, younger looking hands. Results can lasts up to 12-18 months; individual results may vary.

IPL treatments can be performed in just a few short office visits to address sun spots and signs of aging.
