Dermal Fillers
In our busy modern world, sometimes
people simply don't have the time to undergo lenghthy surgical
procedures with a significant recovery period to correct
some cosmetic problems. Fortunately we now have non-surgical
procedures which can correct many minor but irritating aesthetic
signs of aging with miniimal down time.
Botox is effective in treating forehead creases,
frown lines, and crow's feet by temporarily relaxing the underlying
facial muscles that are pulling on the skin. Restylane is
a dermal filler that is effective in reducing the jowl folds
and wrinkles around the lips. This agent is injected in specific
areas critical to affect the desired result. Sometimes the
first treatment has to be repeated after a month to get an
optimum result. There is little to no
down time, but the result is temporary, lasting from three
to six months.
If you are uncomfortable with the idea of injecting foreign
materials into your body, another option is to use your own
fat in a process called autologous lipoinjection, or fat grafting.
This is in effect liposuction
in reverse. Your fat is harvested with a needle and syringe,
usually from the abdomen, and injected just like the artificial
fillers in the areas that need rejuvenation.
