Minimally Invasive Treatments for a More Youthful Appearance
As we age, it's normal for our skin and bodies to change in appearance. Wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and sagging in areas like the neck or under eyes can make us feel self-conscious about our looks. While plastic surgery is an option, it often requires significant downtime for healing and carries risks. Medical aesthetics provides minimally invasive alternatives that can improve one's appearance without extensive procedures or long recovery times. Procedures like injectables, laser treatments, and energy-based devices offer ways to look and feel younger with less risk.
Dermal Fillers for Decreased Volume and Lines
One of the most popular Medical Aesthetics treatments are dermal fillers. As we age, our skin loses volume in areas like the cheeks, lips, and around the eyes due to decreasing collagen and elastin production. Fine lines and wrinkles then become more pronounced. Dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane work by replacing lost volume to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, deep smile lines, and thin lips. They work immediately with results typically lasting 6-12 months. Fillers are injected in small amounts with a thin needle and results are subtle and natural-looking. Patients appreciate how fillers can make them appear more refreshed without others knowing they had anything done. Side effects are typically mild and temporary like brief pain, swelling, or bruising.
Botox for Expression Lines and Forehead Folds
Botox, also known by its generic name Botulinum toxin Type A, provides another minimally invasive solution to visible signs of aging. When muscles contact rapidly as we move our facial expressions, they can cause fine vertical lines between the eyebrows and forehead folds. Over decades of constant motion, these lines can become deeper wrinkles. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles - specifically the corrugator and frontalis - to reduce their contraction and prevent making those lines worse. It requires only a short treatment time, has results visible within a few days, and improves the look of lines for approximately 3-4 months. Botox injections are also well-tolerated with very limited side effects like temporary weakness of nearby muscles.
