Anti-Aging and Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

Modern medicine and science have made antiaging remedies such as BOTOX, facelifts, and hyaluronic acid injections some of the most popular surgical and non-surgical plastic surgery procedures. Board certified plastic surgeons performed almost 9 million anti-aging procedures during 2009 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgery.

Anti-aging, skin rejuvenation and skin resurfacing treatments span generations, from patients in their 20’s to those well into retirement. Various treatment options such as laser skin resurfacing and microdermabrasion can help all age groups, from those with sun damage and fine lines at a young age, to those with deeper wrinkles and more advanced signs of aging. Other treatments including dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Radiesse, and Restylane can help alleviate deeper lines and wrinkles such as eye wrinkles found in those with more overt aging signs. Surgical options such as a facelift can help those that require or desire even more aggressive treatment.

Why Undergo Anti-aging or Skin Rejuvenation Treatment?

People generally undergo anti-aging treatments either because they desire a more youthful appearance or because they have specific problems such as brown spots, age spots, sun damage, or acne scarring that can be treated with anti-aging techniques. In both instances, a more youthful, refined appearance can lead to a more positive outlook and improved self confidence.
