Revitalize Your Look With Our Non-Invasive Procedures
Everyone wishes they could remain young or turn back the clock to when their skin glowed with youthfulness. While we can’t actually turn back the hands of time, Dr. Fichadia can help you look younger than you are without undergoing invasive surgery. There are a number of non-surgical procedures that allow you to achieve the youthful, glowing, and radiant look you’re searching for with very little downtime. With that in mind, let’s discuss four minimally invasive procedures that can restore your skin’s appearance.
Botox
Botox, or botulinum toxin type A, is a non-surgical injectable that temporarily reduces muscle activity in the face. The result is fewer dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. Some of the areas where Botox is used most often include crow’s feet, forehead creases, and lines between the eyebrows.
The advantages of using Botox to revive the look of your skin include:
- It takes less than ten minutes to perform, making it one of the quickest options available today.
- The treatment is almost painless.
- Results appear within a few days to a week.
- The results remain for around three to four months.
Dermal Fillers
Treatment with dermal fillers works similarly to Botox because they are injectables. However, instead of affecting the muscles in the face, dermal fillers work by restoring the lost volume to different areas of the face, smoothing out wrinkles, adding contours, and filling in areas of hollowness. Common areas treated with fillers include lips, cheeks, neck, and hands
Some of the advantages of using facial fillers include:
- Treatment is relatively quick. Depending on the results you’re looking for, treatment can take anywhere from 10-30 minutes.
- Results appear almost immediately.
- Depending on the dermal filler used, the results can last for months or even years.
Kybella
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used on individuals with a double chin. Double chins are challenging to target with diet and exercise alone, but with Kybella, you can finally eliminate the fat for good. Kybella is made up of synthetic deoxycholic acid, which breaks down and dissolves the fat.
The pros of using Kybella include:
- Treatment sessions typically take about 15 to 20 minutes.
- It can be an effective alternative to liposuction.
- The fat will not return to the treatment area.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a popular skin-rejuvenating procedure where tiny needles are used to puncture the skin and make micro-wounds that trigger collagen and elastin production. As the collagen and elastin build up, you’ll achieve the smoother and younger-looking appearance you’re looking for. This treatment can improve skin texture, diminish pigmentation, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, improve skin laxity, and lessen the appearance of stretch marks.
The advantages of using microneedling include:
- Treats a wide variety of skin concerns
- Depending on the number of areas being treated, it typically doesn’t take longer than an hour.
- Multiple treatment sessions are recommended, but after a round of treatment, your results can last up to a year.
