Frequently asked questions

When it comes to facial procedures, some people are hesitant to try them. It helps to have as much information as possible to make an educated decision.

What are some common non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures?

There are many ways to improve the skin’s appearance, but some of the most common procedures are

• Botox® – The most popular method, Botox® injections treat fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and forehead creases.
• Laser treatment – Laser and ultrasound treatments take care of the entire face and help correct redness, pigmentation, blotchiness, and fine lines.
• Dermal filler – Dermal fillers are commonly used to increase volume in the lower parts of the face, such as the nasolabial folds, cheeks, lips, and marionette lines.
• Fat transfer – An alternative procedure to the dermal filler, fat is taken from other parts of the body and reinjected into the face to help correct smile lines, acne scars, crow’s feet, and concave cheeks.
• Skin resurfacing treatments – These include chemical peels and laser resurfacing to improve texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, treat dry spots and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Depending on the issues and their appearance goals, some people choose to combine one or more procedures.

How long until the results show up?

With some procedures, results appear immediately. For others, it may take a few days to see a change in appearance. Talk with your doctor about the specific procedures you have in mind to get a realistic timeline so you can develop realistic expectations and plan accordingly.

How long do the results from non-surgical treatments last?

Results vary depending on the procedure. For example, the results from Botox® typically last three to four months, and a dermal filler may last up to a year, while a fat transfer lasts a lifetime. Also, keep in mind that how long the final effect holds up depends on a variety of factors. For example, younger patients with a higher metabolism may process fillers more quickly, requiring additional treatments at a sooner date.

Other circumstances that affect the longevity of the treatment include a patient's lifestyle practices. Excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, or failure to maintain the recommended daily skincare routine could minimize the duration of your results. It is also important to follow the doctor's recommendations for follow-up care after all procedures, both short-term and long-term.

Do non-surgical procedures require downtime?

For most of the methods, no downtime is required. In fact, many people schedule a treatment during their lunch hour and immediately return to work. With some procedures, bruising or excess redness may occur for a few hours after the treatment. The doctor can let you know exactly how long you should expect to recover from a specific procedure so you can prepare with confidence.

When should non-surgical procedures be chosen over traditional surgical ones?

Non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures work most effectively for more subtle issues. The methods are less invasive, so their effects are not as prominent as with surgical procedures. Minimally invasive methods are good for those who do not want an obvious change, who want less downtime, and who are hoping for minimal side effects.

Are non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedures painful?

Everyone has a different tolerance level for pain and discomfort. What is barely noticeable to one patient can be uncomfortable for another. It is important to keep your personal pain tolerance in mind and to be open with your concerns about your doctor as you make plans for treatment.

In most cases, the procedures are quick and easy. In the area of injections or other more invasive options, a topical numbing agent may be used to help the patient feel more comfortable. For most people, discomfort may occur in the hours or days after treatment instead. In these situations, it is important to follow instructions on how to care for your skin specific to the procedure you underwent.

Conclusion

Non-surgical facial rejuvenation is a good choice for those looking for minimally invasive solutions for wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, volume loss, and facial imperfections. The right procedure varies based on the client’s concerns, budget, and desire for upkeep. A professional can answer additional questions and help determine what method or combination of treatments will deliver the desired results.
