Facial Rejuvination

What You Need to Know About Facial Rejuvenation

Signs of aging may be more visible on the face than any other area of the body. Facial rejuvenation is a strategy using a variety of treatments to combat a variety of forces at work in an aging face. Here are some of the factors that may accelerate facial aging:

• Exposure to sun, wind, excessive heat and cold.
• Chemical and biological pollution.
• Hormonal changes, depleted collagen production, thinning of the skin due to Free radical damage, facial bone changes, and slacked facial ligaments.
• Improper daily habits in terms of skincare, diet, exercise, and cigarette smoking.
• Medical conditions including skin disorders, acne,and chicken pox, which may produce scarring.
• Miscellaneous physiological functions can produce freckling pigmentation spots (lentigos), dry spots (keratoses), broken capillaries, and hyperpigmentation from hormonal changes (which may be induced by pregnancy or birth control medications).
• Genetics.

Facial rejuvenation can mean different things to different people. There are non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments and procedures used to improve slight facial imperfections, or to help with TMJ/TMD therapy.

Facial Fillers and Injectables

Facial fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse work to fill in furrows, wrinkles, and folds in many of the lower facial areas. Some of these fillers increase volume in hollowed or sunken facial areas. Botox and Dysport release the contraction of the muscle in order to reduce muscle-causing wrinkles in the upper facial area. Some facial injectables and fillers may provide additional anti-aging benefits as well.
