The Many Faces of Facial Rejuvenation

As the years go by, we notice gradual changes in our faces. Some it bothers, others are fine with it. If facial aging is something that concerns you, please read our suggestions.

There is usually a three step approach to the aging face. Depending on age, genetics, and the specific areas that need attention, facial rejuvenation can be done in phases. The three steps are medical injections, laser treatment and surgery, or any combination of the above.

When beginning the process of facial rejuvenation, patients are advised to start with the least invasive medical procedure, but this can vary depending on the stage of aging that is present. Facial fillers in Pittsburgh PA, such as Juvederm and Restylane revitalize the facial appearance by enhancing volume, and minimizing the appearance of lines. Botox is another non-surgical injection treatment that blocks nerve impulses to the tiny facial muscles that cause wrinkles. Laser resurfacing is the next stage of rejuvenation which uses laser beams to remove damaged outer layers of the skin and stimulates collagen and new skin cell production. A complete facelift is a surgical procedure that includes elevation of the jowls, mis face, neck, brows and sometimes even eyelids.

For all patients, the gradual approach is the best way to proceed. It is important to develop a long term relationship with your plastic surgeon in order to track the progress of the different treatments and thus determining which step to use at any given stage of treatment.

Keeping a youthful look, by using injectables, or a surgical procedure, such as Eyelift or Facelift in Pittsburgh PA keeps us feeling better about ourselves and elevates self esteem.
