Our once defined facial features and smooth skin could naturally start sagging and show fine lines and wrinkles as we age. It’s a common problem for both women and men, as elastin and collagen production slows with age. Furthermore, sagging skin and loss of facial volume could be caused by lifestyle factors, genetics, or weight loss. Luckily, non-surgical jawline and facial contouring procedures can decrease the appearance of these unsightly signs whatever the cause. Non-invasive procedures, as opposed to surgical treatments, have less downtime and are less risky.
Wrinkles and fine lines on your entire face, as well as those that grow in certain areas of your face, like around the eyes and the upper lip, could be improved with chemical peels, injectable products, and laser resurfacing. These procedures could also be used to address pigmentation conditions like age and sun spots, as well as to reduce the appearance of acne scars and other skin problems.
After you consult your board-certified cosmetic doctor, the specific treatment type that would best treat your issues is determined. To achieve excellent results, most skin procedures necessitate a multi-modality method and multiple treatments. Most importantly, the client should commit to continuing to protect their skin to get long-lasting results.
Here are some of the most popular procedures to treat fine lines and wrinkles:
Thread Lifting
Thread Lifts are a less time-consuming, less invasive option than surgical facelifts. Absorbable threads are strategically positioned beneath the skin and pulled back to tighten, contour, and lift sagging or loose skin during a thread lift treatment.
After placing the threads, the procedure produces an immediate lift. The body would treat the threads as an injury in the following months, increasing elastin and collagen production to stimulate healing. This gives the skin a lifted appearance with fewer wrinkles and fine wrinkles. It is recommended that this treatment be performed every twelve months in conjunction with injectable Dermal Fillers and Ultherapy for the best results.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound waves to produce a thermal effect underneath the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production. This minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while tightening and lifting sagging skin.
This is a popular procedure for more advanced signs of aging, such as loose, sagging skin on your neck, also known as “turkey neck.” While results from a single Ultherapy treatment can be seen, the provider could recommend additional procedures in the future, depending on how the skin is aging.
Dermal Fillers
Injectable fillers aid in the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, the restoration of volume to the face, and the enhancement of facial contours. Dermal fillers have been approved by the FDA to treat a wide range of facial areas, such as your lips, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, smokers’ lines, under your eyes, cheeks, and jawline. A knowledgeable cosmetic doctor will assist you in determining which injectable is appropriate for you. Some injectable fillers have a six-month lifespan, while others can last up to five years.
Skin resurfacing and rejuvenation can be used to treat the following conditions. Every patient is unique, with various combinations of environmental and genetic aging signs affecting their skin. Many of these issues can be treated in a variety of ways, that must be organized and discussed with a board-certified cosmetic doctor based on your individual circumstance and desires.
Below are some of the conditions that various skin rejuvenation methods can treat:
Static wrinkles: These age spots are always visible and don’t change in appearance as a result of facial movements.
Expression lines that show up as folds when your skin isn’t moving and intensify with facial gestures or expressions are known as dynamic wrinkles.
