What is Facial RejuvenationFacial Rejuvenation (though a broad topic) is composed of a large group of cosmetic procedures both surgical and non-surgical, designed to make your facial skin and appearance look younger, livelier, and more refreshed.

What is Facial Rejuvenation Facial rejuvenation consists of cosmetic treatments designed to bring a more youthful complexion to the human face.

What is Facial Rejuvenation Facial rejuvenation can include treatments that are surgical and/or non-surgical.

What is Facial Rejuvenation Skin rejuvenation treatments vary in level of invasiveness and in the effective depth of treatment.

Call Bay Area Pelleve today for a Professional Skin Care ConsultationCommon Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Treatments:Cosmetic Facial Surgery: The first and always the most radical option for facial rejuvenation is Cosmetic Surgery.

Common Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Treatments:This is the most invasive, risky, potentially dangerous, and serious of the skin rejuvenation options.

Common Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Treatments:Surgery though a radical avenue also yields the most dramatic results, and it is usually the best option for those with advanced aging symptoms including extremely loose sagging skin and deep advanced wrinkling.

Common Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Treatments:Cosmetic surgery (though this is a generalization) usually includes procedures to remove excess skin and fat from facial areas and then stretch the remaining skin (re-draping the skin over the facial structure) so it looks tighter and smoother, giving a refreshed and lifted appearance.

Common Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Treatments:Surgical facial rejuvenation procedures though varied may include facelift (rhytidectomy), brow lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), chin lift, nose job (rhynoplasty), neck lift, etc.

Surgery is always the most radical option, with serious consequences to be considered and may or may not be appropriate for many people.DermabrasionDermabrasion: This surgical procedure mechanically removes the uppermost dermal layers of skin (essentially sanding or scraping them off) in order to produce a healing response that generates cosmetically better skin in its place when healed.

DermabrasionDermabrasion can reduce and smooth scaring (including acne), and also combat fine lines and wrinkles on the face, treat rosacea, skin pigmentation, age spots, etc.

Non-surgical (non-invasive) Facial Rejuvenation:Non-surgical options are plenty and have various advantages and disadvantages over surgical procedures to be considered when evaluating facial rejuvenation.

Non-surgical (non-invasive) Facial Rejuvenation:Generally there is far less risk, less in the way of adverse side effects, expense, downtime, and pain associated with noninvasive procedures.

Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion:this is Surgical Dermabrasions little sister.

Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is a superficial skin polishing treatment that involves removal of skin with fine abrasives.

Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion removes the topmost layer of the skin, encouraging a healing process that improves the skins texture and appearance.

Microdermabrasion: The treatment is similar to Surgical Dermabrasion but the depth of treatment is more superficial.Chemical Peel: Chemical Peels (generally speaking) involve applying chemicals to the skins surface in order to dissolve the layer of dead skin cells resting on the skins surface, thereby refreshing and revitalizing the skins appearance.

Chemical Peel: The technique is similar to dermabrasion but uses chemical rather than mechanical mechanisms to remove dermal layers.

Chemical Peel: As a result the newly formed skin is usually smoother, less wrinkled, has better quality, and tone than the old skin being replaced.

Chemical Peel: Chemical Peels are a superficial treatment that can improve the appearance of mild scarring, acne, age spots, freckles, sun damage, light wrinkles, etc.

Chemical Peel: Chemical peels can be classified into the levels of depth they treat to.

Chemical Peel: There are light very superficial peels that only remove the top layer of skin, and those that treat to medium depths, and even deep dermal layers.

Chemical Peel: Deep peels do exist that can treat quite deeply, but most deep peels have now been replaced by ablative laser resurfacing.

Laser Skin Treatments: Laser Skin Treatments: (ablative and non-ablative) These skin rejuvenation treatments use laser light energy to stimulate the production of new natural collagen stores in the skin, and /or to remove skin layers by utilizing light to damage the skin layers in a fashion similar to chemical peels.

Laser Skin Treatments: Treatment depends how the laser energy is being used. There are ablative treatments that impact and damage the skins surface layers, and non-ablative laser skin treatments where light energy is focused much deeper in the skin.

Laser Skin Treatments: Deep skin treatment leaves surface skin layers unchanged, while focusing treatment deeper in the skin to stimulate new collagen formation (collagen remodeling) and promote skin tightening.

Laser Skin Treatments: Laser skin treatments can be an excellent choice for a variety of conditions evening out skin tone, removing dark spots, and reducing wrinkles.

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening with Pelleve Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Treatments: (Pelleve, Thermage, etc.)

Radio Frequency These treatments focus radio frequency energy into the deep tissues of the skin where they heat the tissues and stimulate the formation of new collagen and elastin tissues resulting in a smoother, tighter, more toned skin.

Radio Frequency Only high energy treatments such as radio frequency, ultrasound, and lasers can provide lasting results for loose skin and wrinkles without more radical cosmetic surgeries.

Radio Frequency Treatments are generally long lasting. Improvements may be seen for up to 2 years with average range being 6 18 months depending on the type of treatment.

They are the most effective non-invasive cosmetic procedures for skin tightening and facial rejuvenation.

Injectibles and FillersDermal Fillers and Injectables like Botox Fat Injections and Collagen are the most familiar in this category. Some of these substances plump up the skin to fight wrinkles, others go to work at a neurological level and temporarily paralyze certain facial muscles to combat wrinkles and expression lines.Botox Injections: Botox Injections: Botox is an injectable drug made from a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin. Cosmetically it is used to temporarily paralyze certain facial muscles that promote or cause wrinkling.

Botox Injections: The toxin can be injected in miniscule amounts into specific facial regions thereby disrupting nerve communication and leaving the muscles unable to contract to produce frown lines, and certain wrinkles.

Botox Injections: Botox is able to reduce the appearance of some, but not all facial wrinkle types, and each unique patient will experience differing lengths of effective facial muscle paralysis.

Botox Injections: 2-6 months is the normal effective lifespan for Botox injections with 3-4 months being average.

Collagen InjectionsCollagen Injections: this cosmetic filler is designed to replace or compensate for lost or aging collagen tissues in the skin that have lost their tone.

Collagen InjectionsCollagen fillers were among the first injectibles on the market used in aesthetic medicine.Understanding Aging Skin and the Role of CollagenYour skin is a multi-layered organ made up of several layers that covers your facial structures and your entire body.

Understanding Aging Skin and the Role of CollagenJust below the uppermost covering and first layer of skin is a secondary layer composed mostly of a protein called Collagen.

Understanding Aging Skin and the Role of CollagenCollagen is a key support structure in this underlying skin layer where it creates a network of elastic tissues and fibers that allows not only for the growth of skin but also its ability to stretch and return again to its original form.

Aging Skin and WrinklesWhen this collagen layer and elastin tissue begins to age they lose their elasticity, healthy structure, and tone.

Aging Skin and WrinklesAging skin eventually begins to show a gradual decrease in collagen content and the actual collagen network itself becomes disrupted, damaged, and breaks down over time.

Aging Skin and WrinklesAs this happens the quality of your skins features is greatly affected. As skin ages, it tends to become roughened, lax and wrinkled with some pigmentary changes and possible vascular changes as well.

Natural Facial RejuvenationEnergy treatments like Radio Frequency (Pelleve) and certain Laser Skin Treatments seek to stimulate this secondary skin layer into renewed collagen production using you bodys own natural facial rejuvenation process.

As new collagen forms and takes the place of old depleted collagen stores, the skin is firmed, plumped, and refreshed, alleviating many of the signs of aging including wrinkles, loose skin, expression lines, etc.

Watch Collagen Remodeling in Action:

These facial rejuvenation procedures are just some of the many ways cosmetic medicine can enhance your appearance and keep you looking younger for longer.

A literal plethora of FDA approved treatments are available in the area of cosmetic skin rejuvenation giving you a multitude of options to battle the effects of aging

Invasive Surgical procedures vs Noninvasive non-surgical Cosmetic Treatment

Invasive Surgical procedures vs Noninvasive non-surgical Cosmetic TreatmentCosmetic Surgical procedures have been the standard that all other skin rejuvenation processes are measured by.

Invasive Surgical procedures vs Noninvasive non-surgical Cosmetic TreatmentSurgical procedures by far generate the most dramatic effects when it comes to facial rejuvenation, and are sometimes the only really effective method to turn back the clock in cases of advanced conditions.

Surgical OptionsUnfortunately surgery also comes with significant risks and other factors that must be considered.

Surgical OptionsSome of these include possible side effects, post-treatment downtime and recovery, pain, expense, emotional and mental preparedness.

SurgicalSome people just arent ready mentally, emotionally, or financially for such radical procedures, nor do their symptoms necessarily warrant them.

New TechnologiesMany new alternative technologies and techniques are being used today to rejuvenate skin with minimal downtime, complication, risk, pain, or surgery. As the technology has advanced, results, and options have grown, and so has the interest in these non-ablative, non-surgical alternatives.

Non-Invasive AlternativesThese alternative modalities are all designed to produce a variety of cosmetic benefits, including improvement of wrinkles, skin laxity, texture, tone and overall appearance and should be considered before committing to any prescribed treatment for facial rejuvenation.

Non-Invasive ModalitiesGenerally speaking, good candidates for minimally invasive techniques include those who have mild to moderate symptoms of aging.

Non-Invasive ModalitiesPatients with fine to moderate lines, wrinkles, loose skin, and other possible symptoms of aging will see the best results.Non-Surgical AlternativesIt is important to understand that with non-surgical cosmetic alternatives your skin issues will improve, but may not be fully eradicated. Non-Surgical AlternativesAnother aspect to consider is that the aesthetic benefits from treatment will most often occur gradually overtime, and are therefore far less dramatic than those seen with cosmetic surgery.
