Signs of aging are more evident on the face than any other area of the body. Facial rejuvenation principally involves the use of less invasive procedures to combat a variety of factors in the aging face.
There are two types of wrinkles on the face.
- Static wrinkles are present all the time and are best treated with dermal fillers such as Juvéderm®.
- Dynamic wrinkles are the result of contraction of muscles causing the wrinkles to occur. These are best treated by weakening the facial muscles with injections such as such as BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Some of the factors that accelerate facial aging include:
- Genetic predisposition
- Sun damage
- Cigarette smoking
- Acne
- Chicken pox
Treatment of the Aging Face
Minimally invasive interventions such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and facial fillers can improve your appearance without having to undergo major surgical procedures which typically have increased risk and require prolonged recovery.
BOTOX® works by causing facial muscle to stop contracting. This prevents wrinkles from forming as well as reduces existing wrinkles. Facial fillers center on the use of Juvéderm®, Restylane® and Radiesse®. These agents work to fill in folds, wrinkles and furrows in the face. The most important thing to remember about both BOTOX® and facial fillers is that the results are not permanent.
