There are many different options to rejuvenate your face and brighten up your skin using anti-wrinkles treatments and volume restoration. Here is an overview of the most efficient options to alleviate aging signs.
Non-invasive options
To look younger and restore a soft skin, aesthetic medicine offers non-invasive treatments capable of reshaping the face without causing trauma to tissues or pain. Aesthetic medicine can now fight against deep and persistent wrinkles which were previously treated with surgical procedures. The results are very satisfying and durable, so here is what your options are.
The most popular anti-wrinkles and non-surgical treatment is Botox. Botox is injected at very precise locations to relax muscles in wrinkled areas. Relaxing the muscles causes the wrinkles to fade away, it also prevents new wrinkles from forming without changing the natural facial expression.
Another well known non-invasive treatment for wrinkles is filler injections. Fillers used to alleviate wrinkles and deep folds are mainly hyaluronic based products. Unlike other fillers, hyaluronic acid has no risk of post-treatment complication since this substance is naturally occuring in our body. Hyaluronic acid, or ‘HA’, can rejuvenate the face and make the patient look well rested without having to operate. The duration of effect of HA fillers varies depending on the treatment area (from 12 to 18 months), which is also the case for Botox (6 months on average).
Surgical options
Face lift
With age, facial and neck skin sag and expression wrinkles get deeper and deeper. Face lift surgery is a procedure designed to alleviate wrinkles, tighten up skin and muscles. Since facial tissues sag downwards, the most problematic area is the lower third of the face and neck where excess skin accumulates, causing nasolabial folds to accentuate and jowls to form. The cervicofacial lift is therefore the go-to procedure for most patients who are seeking an efficient facial rejuvenation treatment. However, other types of facelift can correct aging signs in the forehead, the eyebrows or the cheekbones areas.
Facial fat grafting
Facial fat grafting is an amazing procedure that allows surgeons to restore facial volume loss in specific areas such as the temples and the cheekbones. It can also be used to fill in deep folds and wrinkles, increase volume in the lips and chin. While fat grafting is a minimally invasive surgery, it usually requires general anesthesia and a 24 to 48 hours hospitalization under medical observation.
