Effects of aging on the face include increased wrinkles, sagging, expression marks and loss of volume. In medical literature, facial aging has been compared to a deflated beach ball or a collapsing tent where there is loss of volume. The loss of volume which generally starts in one’s late 30s has been linked to reduction of collagen production by the body. There are a variety of techniques and procedures to prevent and reverse aging signs and symptoms.
Preventive Procedures: The most potent and preventable causes of skin damage are smoking and ultra-violet rays. In order to prevent fine wrinkles, skin damage and spots, daily use of sunblock is encouraged at an early age. A minimum SPF of 20 is recommended. In order to promote healthy collagen formation a non-invasive procedure such as ReFirme is a good option; three to four 20-minute sessions of ReFirme will prevent facial sagging and keeps the skin tight and firm for years to come. A low dose Botox treatment will help to prevent wrinkle formation around the eyes and on the forehead.
Reversing Procedures: For those in their late 40s and older, more invasive procedures such as eyelid surgery (blephroplasty), face or neck lift, or nasal reshaping may be appropriate. With medical advances today, facial rejuvenation is more effective and requires minimal down time. Performed by skilled hands, results are more natural than ever and will last a lifetime. Gone are the days when patients required weeks off from work or needed to stay at the hospital for recovery. Newer, minimally invasive procedures at affordable prices allow the general population to enjoy the benefits of facial rejuvenation procedures.
