Injectables as Lifting Agents for the
Face
There has been much press
about various "nonsurgical facelifts", and indeed,
technology seems to be approaching the levels many people
have decided is more than adequate in avoiding the scalpel.
The majority of nonsurgical techniques have focused on
laser-type procedures, such as Thermage and most recently
DeepFX combined with Thermage.
These technologies work
over time as new collagen is produced within your skin and
existing collagen is tightened.
But...What if you were to want a more immediate result or
a lift that required facial augmentation? The patient below
shows how a simple injectable augmentation in the cheek area
alters the entire face shape.

| Before & After |
|
Patient of Dr. Mani |
The most immediate full or partial nonsurgical face lifting is
accomplished with injectable products - most often Radiesse
along with softer fillers such as Juvederm, Perlane or
Restylane. Of course Botox plays a substantial role in face
"lifting" as it allows muscles to relax, alleviating frowns
and furrows that tend to push down the brow.
Injectables essentially refill the deflating "balloon" that
comes from age-related descent of the facial tissues and
muscle. By restoring
height to the cheekbones, filling hollowed cheek areas,
filling in eye hollows, augmenting chin and lips, you can
completely change the appearance of age, substituting it for
one of youth and energy.
Simple extras, such as a touch of Juvederm in
the philtral ridges restore the "cupid's bow" and give the
lip a more youthful sex-appeal, plus it helps remove the
focus from tiny vertical lines above the lip

If you were to think of your face as a sculpture,
injectables are the "clay" that the sculptor adds to bring
up the cheeks, augment the lips and chin and soften the
angularity of age.

How Does It Work?

A chemical peel is
an accelerated form of exfoliation and skin renewal that is
induced by the use of a chemical agent

Chemical Facial Peels
Skin cells are "glued"
together by a matrix of proteins, fat and water. The
chemical peel dissolves this "glue" so that the top skin
cells separate. As the new skin cells mature, this loose top
layer is pushed up and peels off.
Tired-looking skin with rough
texture and pigmentation can often benefit from a single
chemical peel.
When a peeling agent is applied to the skin, the top layers of
cells peel off, exposing a
new fresh layer with a more even color and smoother texture.
In addition, the peel stimulates new cells to grow, thereby
tightening the skin which decreases wrinkling.
Our
Jessner
Peels are designed to provide a very noticeable
improvement in skin quality and softness.

Botox and Filler - A One-Two Combo
Quick Fix to Looking AND Relating
Better
|
|
Often patients want to know what the fastest
and simplest procedures are that will make a difference in
how they look. By far, the most effective "instant"
procedure is a filler, followed closely by Botox which takes
roughly 7 days to "kick in".
By relaxing dynamic muscles (the ones that
cause frown lines and crow's feet) Botox smoothes the skin,
often giving rise to social positives since it eliminates
the look of worry or anger that is associated with forehead
lines and frown lines. Men are usually quite surprised at
the effect Botox has on how others relate to them at work.
(We gals already know this little side benefit!)
Fillers, especially in the lips, can redefine the balance of
the face. Dr. Mani and our highly trained medical Physician
Assistants are sensitive to a woman's desire to have natural
looking lips that enhance her looks without looking
"overdone".
Lip Augmentation with Hyaluronic Gel
At a national medical convention held this month in Los
Angeles, internationally known physicians agreed that
combining Botox and fillers in the same or closely spaced
appointments prolonged the effects of both.
