Recently, I noticed a little “stubborn creases in his forehead. Raise my skin a bit,” mimicked a facelift – folds and disappears. During a facelift, the surgeon makes an incision, usually around the hairline, and then pull the skin of the face upwards on the skin and smooth out wrinkles and loose, and give a more youthful.
While a facelift can give dramatic results are not yet ready for it. I would like to have something to freshen your face a bit. “But I’m smart enough to know that certain products and procedures for billing, or alternatively, a facelift may have a greater impact on my portfolio on my face. But how to distinguish fact from fiction? I turned me to an expert for help – and here is what I learned.
Current treatments
Dr. Joel Schlessinger, MD, faad, faac, chairman of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery, has assured me that the creams can be very effective when targeting specific problems. N. cream can do everything, anyway, and he unfortunately could not tell me a cream that is truly “better than Botox.” He recommends Obagi line of pigmentation and age spots, and found the creams to carry things, how to increase the growth of eyelashes and pouty lips strengthen.
Peels are another option, and their invasiveness depends on what you want. Prices vary from a low strength AHA peels for $ 30 – $ 100 for a treatment for very strong phenol peel to $ 4000 or more. Chemical peels burn the outer layers of damaged skin, revealing younger skin below. Child has a skin so soft, because their cells are constantly renewing, but it slows down with age. Chemical peels accelerate the process.
There are some unpleasant stories about what happens if a chemical peel is too deep, so be careful in your choice of doctor. Some of the newer options, such as skins of blue, claiming to be safer. At $ 200 – $ 1000, can be adapted to the skin the desired strength. Milder peels may be repeated at regular intervals in order to achieve a desired result and minimize side effects and healing time. According to this page blue skin, a measure of the demand for glycerine mixed in a blue traditional chemical peels, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), “to improve patient safety by visually illustrate the solution of TCA and coverage of skin face.” Anything that helps keep skin from going too far Sounds good.
High Tech Salon Treatments
Laser treatments are becoming more popular these days, if you try to remove unwanted hair or get rid of wrinkles. Laser “facelift” using a carbon dioxide laser to remove the outer layers of old skin and tighten muscles.
Dr. Schlessinger tells me that the first laser treatment was a “recovery time and performance, great technology. Odierno produces only about 20-30% of the results of these first, but with virtually no side effects.” New buzzword, “says Schlessinger me, is” fraxellation. ” Treatments of today, you can “bomb” an area so that the laser destroys only spots on the skin, with sufficient surface not treated to accelerate healing. This seemed good to me.
What is more, the treatments are just one type of laser skin renewal. Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion, which can be regarded as extreme exfoliation, is the old standby is still very popular.
In dermabrasion, the surgeon removes the outer layers of skin with a brush or electronically controlled diamond wire impregnated Burr. You can leave quite crude and is moderately painful, with a recovery of 2-12 per week. Microdermabrasion is a bit “easier for the patient. This is a fine spray of crystals to the skin and then remove them with the top layer of skin cells. It is not as painful as dermabrasion, and is sure to repeat every couple of months.
Micro Current “facelift” to go deeper, with a mild electrical stimulation to activate chemicals in the skin. Dr. Schlessinger warns that some micro-current treatments are nothing more than quackery. In general, he says, be careful with spa-type clinics that offer advice on equal treatment for all, chances are that they can take only one piece of material!
Any woman trying to decide what procedure should have a consultation with a medical certificate, “said Dr. Schlessinger,” This is an area where you get what you pay for. “
Needles Required
Dr. Schlessinger warned me to be extremely careful in the choice of a professional well if I decide to go with Botox. Nowadays Botox offered throughout the world, from cinemas to the parties. Yet, botulinum toxin, a potent chemical that is administered only by those who have been training for it. It comes from a toxin that causes botulism. Injected in small amounts in the skin, but the weakening or paralyzing certain muscles or block certain nerves, resulting in less frown lines and wrinkles.
”A lot of wrinkles due to repetitive-scowl on his face acquired the habit,” says Schlessinger. These wrinkles disappear after treatment with Botox and the good news is that after the treatments most often used is broken and no further injections.
But all the horror stories? Paralysis? Most of these are just tales. Botox is not permanent. In fact, the injections last only three or four months, which means that any side effects are also temporary.
According to Schlessinger, “The biggest complication we see is Botox done wrong.” For two reasons, recommend to go to a professional specializing in Botox. A: proliferation of Medspa and days spas resulted in many unskilled workers. Two: there is much more likely to get Botox in a cool place that uses a lot of it. According to Dr. Schlessinger, we buy our fresh Botox – just as we get our fresh fish from a fish market.
Facial filler injections are another option. These injections can help effectively replace the volume you start to lose in ‘30. And sometimes actually stimulate the growth of collagen more. A recent study by the University of Michigan, also found that the seemingly non-filler Restylane sometimes provides permanent long-term effects.
A popular known brands filler Juvederm, a hyaluronic acid dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in all living organisms, as a type of sugar. Even if treatment does not last forever, it lasts longer than Botox, generally at least six months or more.
I became interested also threadlift. In this procedure, the facial tags prolene suture (thread) attached to anchor points in front (for example, a piece of jowl) using a hollow needle holes. The threads used to lift the immediate area and can be tightened if necessary. I thought it sounded pretty cool, but unfortunately it turns out that this is a risky procedure that Dr. Schlessinger says is “so popular, but so incredibly wrong.” The pipes used in the procedure is quite fragile and may break. When this happens, the effect is erratic and discussions can migrate to new areas, or even sticking through the skin! I moved this to “no column” for me.
Go-Go Gadget Facelift
For those who want to try a Weird Science in the face, there is no such thing as lifting the band, who are still using external wires and physically pull the skin of the face hard. Think Robin Williams in “Mrs. Doubtfire. Unfortunately, it will not make up a team to connect the device to your face every morning, and it looks like you need a lot of hair to hide the cables properly. Not for me!
Sweatin ‘to the child?
Alternative au natural facial exercises. Rather than work on-in, these programs claim to work from inside-out, build strength and tone facial muscles. Some programs, such as facial Flex, including a resistance device that fits in the mouth in order to improve the results of “education”.
Sorry to say, “said Dr. Schlessinger to these statements of the program is” a total fabrication. If it is true, a person with a package of chewing gum would one day look good, but in fact the opposite is true. ” The more you stretch the facial skin, wrinkles, the more you get. Remember, Botox works by temporarily paralyzing muscle groups, do not give them a workout. I was a bit “disappointed by this news, but I can at least take solace in knowing that something good is a couch potato.
Small details
Although there may seem like an option for some, there is the option of partial face-lift, where a surgeon does not perform a full face lift (which is very painful, expensive and requires a large recovery time), but the target just the areas you would prefer to see improved. Neck lifts, brow lifts, cheek and lifts are common options, but the possibilities are truly endless. It is especially important for women to get rid of fat under the chin, and in some cases, it is a liposuction procedure, which does not even involve cutting away the skin. It seems to me that one way to look much younger with a relatively small.
Welcome to the new millennium
It used to be known to visit a plastic surgeon, before you actually need, at this point in the skin and facial muscles are almost beyond repair. “Today,” Dr. Schlessinger has assured me, “we have better opportunities to keep people looking good much longer.” The trick is to do your research and take care of your face to get an early start. And while Botox cream effective is still five years away, new treatments developed every day. With so many good options, less than a full facelift, I am very happy to know that I will never be trapped in a face premature aging.
