As the aging process takes its toll on the human body, it’s inevitable for both males and females to see signs of aging in the face, such as skin laxity and volume loss. Most of us wish we could slow down the effects aging has on our looks – and maybe even get a few years back in the process. With facial rejuvenation, there are a multitude of cosmetic procedures used to restore facial features to their previously youthful appearance.
At Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery, with offices in Hyannis and Plymouth, we are experts in the art of facial rejuvenation. We are pleased to offer both non-invasive and surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation to restore youthfulness to your skin.
Let’s explore the spectrum!
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOXÒ Cosmetic is one of the most popular non-surgical options for facial rejuvenation. This option creates subtle changes that give you a refreshed, well-rested look. The procedure is a cosmetic injection that blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. The effect relaxes and smooths the look of lines and wrinkles on your face caused by everyday facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning.
A fast procedure with minimal pain and downtime, injections are usually completed on the same day as the initial consultation and results can be seen within days. Common areas that are treated are crow’s feet around the eyes, horizontal forehead creases, and persistent lines between the brows.
Laser Procedures
Another non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation is Laser Technology. Laser therapy is ideal for people who want younger-looking skin with minimal downtime! Fractional laser treatments for skin resurfacing such as Fraxel®, work below the skin’s surface from the top down to reverse the visible effects of aging. The Fraxel DUAL Wavelength System is a minimally invasive laser therapy that stimulates the skin’s natural collagen, and rejuvenates skin cells below the surface. This system is used to reverse fine lines and wrinkles in the face, and to correct skin blemishes, pigmentation and the appearance of age spots, and sun damage in the face.
Profound RF Treatment
The Profound RF laser treatment is another minimally invasive option for facial rejuvenation designed to reverse the side effects of aging. Profound is a revolutionary energy-based facial treatment clinically proven to recreate the skin’s building blocks – elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid. This minimally invasive procedure is an effective treatment for skin volumizing and lifting of the face and neck, dramatically improving aging skin. With Profound, temperature control, treatment time and treatment depth can be customized to each individual patient. The smartly designed hand pieces act as a guide to the correct placement of the micro needles to treat wrinkles, submental, jawline, and cellulite in a single treatment.
Surgical Procedures
For patients who are looking to dramatically change the appearance of aging around their face, Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery has several surgical procedures to choose from, such as the Facelift and the Mini-Facelift. Ideal for patients that have experienced significant weight loss and have extra skin, a facelift can tighten muscles and skin for a more youthful look. Other surgical options to fight the facial aging process, such as Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty), Chin Implants, and Brow Lifts, can help correct specific problem areas on the face.
Schedule a Facial Rejuvenation Consultation
The most important step in considering facial rejuvenation is to schedule a consultation with a physician board-certified in plastic surgery. At Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Seth Jones and Dr. Michael Loffredo have both completed extensive residencies and aesthetic fellowships with focuses on facial rejuvenation. A consultation with one of our doctors to assess your beauty goals is essential in finding the right options for you.
