Non-Surgical Facelifts

    HOUSTON, TX, January 05, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If you are looking to reduce the signs of facial aging that make you look prematurely aged, but you are not ready for a surgical facelift, you may be considering nonsurgical treatments. Nonsurgical facelifts are not an alternative to traditional facelifts, but they can be an interim treatment for some people. However, if you are considering using nonsurgical treatments for your facial rejuvenation, you should make sure that your choice of plastic surgeon is capable of combining treatments successfully.

Here are some of the elements that go into a nonsurgical facelift.

BOTOX Cosmetic

BOTOX Cosmetic is an injectable treatment that works by paralyzing overactive facial muscles that contract to cause certain wrinkles. Wrinkles commonly treated by BOTOX Cosmetic include: crow's feet, glabellar lines (vertical lines between the brows), and horizontal forehead wrinkles.

Facial Fillers

Facial fillers are used to fill in places where a loss of facial volume can make your face look sunken, tired, or aged. They can also be used to fill in deep facial folds caused by facial action and sinking tissues. There are many different facial fillers available, and it's important to talk to your plastic surgeon about the benefits and disadvantages of each. Some are better for deeper injection, such as Radiesse, while others are better at the superficial level, such as Juvederm. Some symptoms commonly treated with facial fillers include nasolabial folds (parentheses lines around the mouth), hollows under the eyes and tear trough deformity, and sunken cheeks.

Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing is a procedure that is designed to rejuvenate the overall appearance of your skin by removing the dull, damaged, outer layers of your skin to reveal the younger layers underneath. The skin will also be stimulated to heal from this injury, which will lead to the production of more collagen, which helps your skin remain firm and elastic. Skin resurfacing is good for treating dull skin with numerous fine wrinkles.

Putting It All Together

Most people suffer from many different symptoms of facial aging. To get the best facial rejuvenation possible for your facial aging, you will need several different nonsurgical treatments combined. An excellent example of this is the eye region, where BOTOX Cosmetic can be used to reduce the appearance of crow's feet, facial fillers can fill in undereye hollows, and skin resurfacing can erase fine wrinkles to give an overall younger appearance.

Other combinations are possible, and it is important to talk to your plastic surgeon about successfully combining nonsurgical treatments to get the best results from your nonsurgical facelift.
