A Facelift La Quinta is not the Only Option to Look Younger

Getting older need not mean that you have to start looking your age. These days there are so many ways to keep yourself looking younger than your years and not all of these include surgical procedures such as the facelift Indio, or anywhere. Other treatments may be used either as an alternative, or in combination with, a facelift IndianWells, such as:

·         Resurfacing techniques reduce surface wrinkles and can smooth your skin by removing damaged outer layers. Options include chemical peels, pulsed light and laser resurfacing.

·         Dermal fillers plump out deep wrinkles with injections of hyaluronic acid, collagen or other types of filler. Depending on the type of filler used you may need to have repeat treatments every six to nine months.

·         Botulinum toxin (e.g. Botox) injections can flatten out wrinkles in your skin caused by muscle action, for example when you smile or frown. This treatment is particularly suitable for forehead lines and wrinkles around your eyes. However, it won’t help with wrinkles caused by sagging of your facial tissue as a result of ageing. You will need to repeat treatments every three to four months.

·         Creams, gels and beauty treatments may help tighten your skin. However, there is no scientific proof that these work.

Having a facelift Desert Hot Springs or having a facelift La Quinta is becoming a very popular method of fighting the signs of aging. The facelift is an extremely popular procedure for those 55 and older. At this point, there are multiple parts of the face that need rejuvenating. The cheeks typically fall or deflate, the corners of the mouth turn down, jowls appear, the jawline loses its contour and the neck becomes loose and droopy at times, showing bands under the chin. 

A facelift, no matter wherever you may choose to have it, helps restore a youthful appearance by addressing these parts that have aged including the eyelids, sagging of the neck and volume loss in the cheeks. Combinations of procedures can lift the brow, the mid face or cheek area and tighten the jaw line while treating jowls and reshaping the neck. Facelifts can be divided into suture only lifts, and dissection facelifts.  The suture only lifts are a newer concept.  They provide a shorter-term option for more minor pathology.

There may be some bruising and there will be some discomfort and feelings of tightness. Change of sensation, however, is not uncommon. Many people find they are numb around the jaw under the ear and this can be present for some months. In the long term this generally has not been a major problem and most patients find they obtain normal sensation back within a few months.

The standard Desert Hot Springs facelift operation involves incisions, which usually begins above the hairline at the temples, extend in a natural line in front of the ear, and continue behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. Tiny incisions may be required to place fat grafts into the cheeks, which heal rapidly and are not conspicuous.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing Indian Wells Helps Fight the Signs of Aging

The search for the miracle cure to aging is one which has been around for centuries and although things have improved there are still limits.  Although aging is a natural part of life, we would like to see less signs of the process and more signs of the fact that our treatments are working. One of the latest treatments which fight the signs of aging is CO2laser resurfacing and you will find that CO2 laser resurfacing Indian Wells is becoming very popular. 

The newest version of Indian Wells CO2 laser resurfacing uses very short pulsed light energy, or continuous light beams, that are delivered in a scanning pattern. These remove thin layers of skin with minimal heat damage. Recovery takes up to two weeks. The anti-aging breakthrough of the decade, according to many doctors, is a skin-resurfacing treatment known as CO2 fractional laser therapy. Combining the effectiveness of traditional carbon dioxide lasers -- long thought to be the gold standard in wrinkle removal -- with a new application technique, it delivers powerful results without the traditionally harsh side effects. You get all the benefits of laser resurfacing, still the best way to remove wrinkles, but you’re getting it without the downtime and without the horrendous complication rate.

Indian Wells CO2 laser resurfacing has proved to be a valuable method for facial rejuvenation of photo damaged skin with detectable improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, mottled dyspigmentation, rough skin texture, and solar lentigines. CO2 laserIndian Wells can eradicate precancerous growths such as actinic keratosis, although prevention of future development of actinic keratosis has not been substantiated. The field of carbon dioxide laser resurfacing is rapidly progressing and evolving. The ability to rejuvenate sun-damaged, wrinkled skin has been revolutionized by this new technology.

What can be expected during and after the procedure?

In general, CO2 laser resurfacing is performed on an outpatient basis, using local anaesthesia in combination with orally- or intravenously-administered sedative medications. The areas to be treated are numbed with a local anaesthetic. General anaesthesia may be used when the entire face is treated. Wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, or forehead may be treated individually, or a full-face laser resurfacing may be performed. A partial-face laser resurfacing takes 30 to 45 minutes, and the full-face treatment takes 1½ to 2 hours.

Following the laser resurfacing procedure, a dressing is applied to the treatment sites for 24 hours. The patient then cleans the treated areas two to five times a day with saline or a dilute vinegar solution. An ointment is then applied. In general, the areas heal in 10 to 21 days, depending on the nature of the condition that was treated.

Once the areas have healed, oil-free makeup may be worn to camouflage the pink-to-red colour that is generally seen after laser resurfacing. The redness which is often experienced after CO2 laser resurfacing treatments  in the laser-treated sites generally fades in two to three months, but may take as long as six months to disappear completely and permanently.
