We all want to find the simplest, most effective treatments to help us get the best results possible in all different areas of our lives. When people think of visiting a plastic surgeon, they often imagine undergoing an invasive procedure. However, many of our patients come in and never have what you would consider plastic surgery. We have an impressive collection of non-surgical options that help our patients love how they look and feel.
One of our patients’ first complaints as they age is the change in texture and appearance of their skin. As we get older and with exposure to the sun, our skin (especially the skin around our face, neck, and chest) becomes looser, thinner, and loses its elasticity. Many of our non-surgical and less invasive procedures target these issues.
Renuvion®
One of our most exciting less invasive options is called Renuvion®. Renuvion® is a high-tech skin tightening procedure that uses radio frequency waves and helium plasma to increase the body’s collagen production in the treated area. Collagen is your skin’s natural healing response, and an increase in collagen causes your skin to retract and look younger and fresher. Renuvion®, commonly used on the face and neck, produces incredible results. Renuvion® patients usually need at least a week to recover, but results are evident almost immediately.
Injectables
Do you want to see quick, non-surgical results? Injectables are the easiest way to achieve them. There are numerous different types of injectables. Our office offers Botox®, Juvederm®, Restalyne®, Sculptra®, and Renuva®. Each product works uniquely and is used to target separate areas of the face or body area.
For example, we use Botox to treat the face and smooth wrinkles by preventing the underlying muscles from moving. Juvederm® is a filler that is injected into the face to add volume to target areas where wrinkles form, like the space between the eyebrows, the lips, or any area of the face that has lost volume. Restalyne® is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler injected into the face to improve hydration and elasticity. Sculptra® helps restore your skin’s health by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. And finally, Renuva® is an injectable that restores facial volume by promoting the production of your body’s fat. You see, each of these treatments is distinct and effective. Our team can guide you toward the ideal injectable treatment for your needs.
Micro-Needling: Secret™ RF
If you’d like to improve the quality of your skin without injectables, we highly recommend microneedling. This treatment creates tiny punctures on the outer layers of skin, causing your body to respond with healing processes that promote new tissue growth. With Secret™ RF Micro-Needling you’ll get the added advantage of radiofrequency energy to trigger an even stronger healing response. Recovery from this treatment is very quick, though some patients experience redness for a couple of days afterward.
Skincare
Finally, skincare is one category of non-surgical treatments that you can manage from the comfort of your home. Your twice-daily skincare routine can make or break the effectiveness of any other treatments you invest in. We are proud to recommend ZO® Skin Health products. These medical-grade skin care products, created by a dermatologist, help patients optimize their skin before investing in our treatments. We would be happy to recommend a regimen to you.
It’s easy to make the incorrect assumption that you must undergo an intense surgical procedure to get effective results from our office. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. We offer various services and products because we want to meet our patients where they are. If you aren’t ready to mount a surgical response to your skin or body needs or can’t carve out enough recovery time, we can recommend the ideal non-surgical solutions to help you look and feel your best.
