Our faces take on the lion’s share of what we encounter every day. Whether it’s UV rays, toxins in the air, 
or even the makeup we use to keep ourselves presentable for work and play, various factors take their toll on our skin and hasten the aging process. Fortunately, for those in Broward County, it is possible to reverse or prevent these effects without the costs and inconveniences of surgery. Below, you will find 5 of the most popular non-surgical facial rejuvenation options available in our office.
Dermal Fillers & Injectables
Dermal fillers and injectables are specially formulated to treat signs of aging in several areas of the face including the forehead, brows, and the area around the eyes, nose, and mouth. Injectables are great because they require little to no downtime, produce natural-looking results almost immediately, and often take so little time that treatment can be taken care of during lunch.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation procedure that is meant to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. It works to combat lip wrinkles, dark circles, and thin skin under the eyes, among other unwanted skin changes. When combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment, the benefits increase even more. During the procedure, a pen-like tool uses small needles to make tiny incisions in the skin. These abrasions cause the skin to work to repair itself naturally, boosting collagen production and resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
During laser skin resurfacing, a laser is used to remove layers of facial skin. This procedure works to not only treat wrinkles but also any unevenness or discoloration that could be the result of a variety of factors. As the skin heals from laser skin resurfacing, a smoother and more attractive layer of skin emerges. Either the entire face or specific areas can be targeted, the results being either a mild tightening or a total resurfacing.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a topical treatment that is meant to work over a short period of time to remove dead and damaged surface skin to reduce signs of aging and pigmentation issues. Chemical peels are not “one size fits all” and can be formulated to meet the specific needs of the patient. After the skin is done regenerating, it should appear younger, smoother, and more even.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a painless and affordable alternative to chemical peels that achieves a similar result. This treatment utilizes a sterile, aesthetician-grade blade to lightly scrape the skin to tone, resurface, and touch-up your face. It is often used to prevent acne breakouts in addition to restoring your youthful glow.
