A Facelift in Tacoma is an invasive procedure, one that requires the lifting of the skin away from the facial muscles in order to trim away the excess. It takes time to heal, and your appearance is unpleasant while the swelling and bruising goes down. You also have to spend time going to doctor’s appointments for progress reports, stitches to be cut out and drains to be removed. In short, getting a facelift is an intensive process that many don’t have the time to deal with. The good news, there are alternatives, and a spa like DERMA can help you achieve the look of a facelift without the pain.
The medical industry has recognized that many do not want to go under the knife, but want to refresh their looks as they age. To that end, many products have come onto the market that give the look of having “work done” without the effort and cost that comes with plastic surgery. Available treatments take care of the ravages of time affordably, quickly and without a lot of pain. Within 30 minutes, an individual can have years taken off their face.
Facial fillers and Botox have led the way in rejuvenating the facial features. Fillers and Botox work in specific areas on the face and complement each other well. A facial filler, such as Juvederm, “plumps” up the wrinkles around the mouth and other areas. It’s a gel made from hyaluronic acid, a natural material that holds water under the skin, filling in the void that was left when the body’s collagen store was depleted.
Botox is used primarily on the forehead and on crow’s feet around the eyes. It is a mild paralytic that keeps the muscles that cause the wrinkles from moving. The result is a smooth appearance that removes years from your face. An experienced dermatologist has the skill to place the Botox in all the right places that gives you a natural look. This care mans no one is going to know you had injections done in your face.
Fillers and other enhancements do need to be refreshed on a regular basis, but not as frequently as you may think. Ultimately, you get the years eliminated without a lot of expense, and you can feel good again.
