Non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures allow your skin to look younger without going under the knife. Various treatments are available, and you might opt for any depending on your needs and preference. However, choosing a qualified dermatologist like Dr. Tiffany Su, an experienced specialist in non-surgical facial rejuvenation can have an impact on treatment outcomes.
Dr. Su will provide ample information on all the aesthetic procedures and help you choose the one that suits your needs for the best outcome.
Common types of non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures
The following are common non-surgical rejuvenation procedures:
Botox injections
You can benefit from Botox injections if you have skin concerns like frown lines, forehead lines, or crow’s feet. Your dermatologist will inject the affected areas with purified botulinum toxin to prevent or limit certain repetitive motions. Since the treatment is temporary, it can last for three or four months, and you can have another treatment.
PDO threads
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are dissolvable stitches that your dermatologist can use to rejuvenate your skin or lift sagging skin. They aim to stimulate collagen production, restore volume, and support sunken areas of your face. The treatment is short; you can complete the procedure in under an hour.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a non-surgical rejuvenation that does not only address skin concerns on your face but other parts, including your abdomen and thighs. It involves the use of multiple tiny needles prickling your skin. The needles cause tiny punctures on your skin, and your body produces collagen to heal the injuries. Although the treatment is quite tolerable, your specialist can apply numbing cream in the treatment area to ease your discomfort.
In addition, you might receive platelet-rich plasma treatment to enhance your results by promoting the growth of new cells.
Reasons why you should consider non-surgical treatments
One of the most significant reasons you should seek non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures is that they don’t involve incisions and stitches. If you undergo a surgical facelift, your specialist must nip and tuck the affected areas. The following are the benefits of non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments.
Fewer risks of infections
Non-surgical procedures do not pose a high risk of infection due to the absence of incisions and stitches. However, if you have undergone a treatment that involves needles, your dermatologist will recommend refraining from touching your face unnecessarily.
Shorter recovery time
The different non-surgical treatments require zero to minimal downtime depending on your treatment. You can resume work or your normal routine after treatment, unlike facelift surgery which requires you to rest because of the pain and use of general anesthesia.
Less expensive than surgery
It is much cheaper to have Botox injections than to have facelift surgery. The surgery will involve the fees for a cosmetic surgeon and anesthetist, while you will pay the dermatologist only for Botox and other non-surgical treatments.
