Non-Surgical Options

If you are starting to notice the first signs of early aging and you're not quite ready for or don't desire plastic surgery, there are other options.

Solutions have been developed that may help you to smooth wrinkles and even tighten facial or body skin that has fallen victim to the effects of aging or gravity. Many non-invasive, non-surgical options are available that can literally subtract ten to twelve years from your appearance.

Select the procedure you are considering from the following descriptions for more detailed information.

Botox - Botox Injections may be considered to reduce the occurance and appearance of natural facial wrinkles and lines. These wrinkles and lines are often caused by the muscle contractions which occur during frowning, squinting or any other facial expressions which causes repeated contraction of facial muscles. Botox is commonly used to reduce the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows, unsightly lines around the edge of the eyes (known as "crow's feet") and the prominent lines that occur on the forehead.

Botox is also often used for lines and wrinkles of the lower face, and even to decrease nostril flaring, although these practices are controversial due to risk of damaging important facial nerves.

Dermal Fillers - Dermal fillers can be used to enhance facial features by improving the shape and fullness of lips. They can also be used to make subtle changes in the nose and areas around the eyes.

Liquid Facelift - A liquid face lift involves the use of dermal fillers, sometimes combined with Botox treatments, to gently lift and re-shape facial features. This is a non surgical procedure performed relatively quickly and painlessly in an out-patient setting.
