Radiesse™ – Dr. Ron Shelton New York

Radiesse™ is a safe and highly effective anti-aging treatment that not only takes away aging signs but also provides lost volume in the face. Radiesse™ is a tailor-made product to reduce wrinkles and skin folds while correcting volume loss in the treatment area. RADIESSE™ is indicated for sub dermal implantation for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles.

and folds,Dermatologists normally use this product to correct aging effects like smile folds, temples and to provide volume to the cheeks. Furthermore, Radiesse™ has been known to be used as a temporary replacement for the chin implant procedure as well as to eliminate jowls in the jawline.

In addition to its anti-aging attribute, Radiesse™ is highly regarded as an effective facial contouring treatment. Patients who are looking to correct their aging signs and obtain lost volume in areas like the chin, cheek and mouth are highly suitable for what Radiesse™ can achieve. Dermatologists further use this product to either emphasize certain features in the face or make them softer.

The specialized texture in the Radiesse™ compound makes it an ideal anti-aging product to improve many areas in the face without causing adverse effects on feeling and sensitivity. Dermatologists normally administer Radiesse™ injections by mixing them with an anesthetic. As a result, the procedure becomes very comfortable without unbearable pain or discomfort for the patient.

Radiesse™ is an ideal procedure for patients between the ages of 35 and over 70. Younger and older patients have benefited from the use of the product. Patients who undergo the treatment, which lasts about 15 minutes, can expect to see visible and marked changes up to 80% immediately following the injection. The results achieved from this product normally last between eight and 12 months or more.

Pelleve – Dr. Ron Shelton New York

Most patients who desire to undergo anti-aging treatments often don’t have the luxury to take time off from their busy professional lives. Many surgical anti-aging procedures like facelifts are surgeries and they involve weeks of downtime, which these patients cannot allocate time to. It is for such patients that the Pelleve treatment is designed for.

The Pelleve treatment achieves anti-aging results through the use of constant radiofrequency energy. This energy is diverted deep into the skin where heat is generated where the skin and fat layers overlap. This constant and gradually increasing heating action stimulates the natural collagen in the skin and causes contraction of the saggy skin. As a result of Pelleve treatment’s heating action; natural collagen starts to produce over time, providing patients with younger-looking and firmer skin.

Although there are many other similar non-invasive anti-aging procedures available, Pelleve is different from them. This is because Pelleve offers significantly less pain and patients often describe the procedure as a warm massage. Other similar non-invasive skin tightening treatments require pain-relieving medication to be applied to the treatment area. However, the Pelleve treatment does not require such medication.

In addition to amazing anti-aging and aesthetic benefits, Pelleve is a very convenient treatment as well. Patients can expect to undergo the treatment in around one hour and they can immediately return to their normal routine without attracting unnecessary attention from onlookers. The changes achieved through the Pelleve treatment appear gradually and over time. Normally, the results from the Pelleve treatment continue to appear up to six months.

Botox™ – popular and effective anti-aging treatment

Botox™ is one of the most popular anti-aging procedures in the United States today. It is a highly effective and swift procedure to correct aging signs such as facial lines and wrinkles. Botox™ is administered to a patient by means of an injection and specifically it can correct aging signs like forehead frown lines and lines between the eyes and at the base of the nose.

Botox™ achieves its famed anti-aging results by temporarily eliminating facial aging signs through the relaxation of the underlying muscles that cause those aging signs. Botox™ basically consists of the Botulinum toxin in a much diluted form and it has been proven to be safe for anti-aging treatment. In fact, Botox™ is an FDA approved product for the treatment of eye muscle disorders and eliminating frown lines. The results achieved from a Botox™ injection typically lasts for about four months. Therefore, if a patient is to maintain the achieved anti-aging results, the procedure should be undergone twice a year.

Ideal candidates for this immensely popular and effective anti-aging treatment are people who have a desire to see an enhancement in their aging signs without undergoing invasive and painful surgery. In other words, Botox™ is an ideal anti-aging treatment for patients who dislike the idea of undergoing cosmetic surgery and its related long downtime. However, Botox™ is not a treatment that should be undergone by women who are pregnant as physicians are still unaware of the effects that this treatment will have on a fetus. Moreover, people who suffer from neurological disorders should refrain from undergoing Botox™ treatments as well.

Belotero™ for Facial Wrinkles & Folds

Cosmetic dermatological products that offer unparalleled anti-aging results are dermal fillers. Now, there’s a brand new addition to this family of products. This new dermal filler is Belotero® Balance. This is a unique and different product from the current dermal fillers. Belotero™ is specially designed to achieve integrative results with the skin by taking into account the uniqueness and individuality of each patient’s skin.

Belotero™ is a very versatile product with exceptional features not seen in other dermal fillers. These special features help Belotero™ to adapt inside the skin to provide corrections that are soft and balanced. In addition, the adaptability of this product has enabled it to correct both deep treatment regions such as nasolabial folds (lines created by smiling around the mouth) and delicate and soft regions like vertical lip lines (very thin lines above the lip).

Similar to many other current types of dermal filler, Belotero™ is also composed of Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is a substance found naturally in the human body as a part of the skin. It provides anti-aging effects by binding with water to eliminate wrinkles and folds almost immediately following injection of the filler.

Patients who undergo this state of the art dermal filler can expect to see results almost immediately following injection. Belotero™ plumps up the skin and makes all the aging signs like wrinkles and lines to fade away. Although results can vary individually, patients can expect consistent results that should last for about four months.

Fraxel Laser and Portrait Plasma Facial Rejuvenation and Resurfacing

Many people can achieve excellent results with photo rejuvenation in decreasing wrinkles, tightening skin and improving the texture from age and sun damage. Acne scars can improve. Additional aesthetic improvement can result from adjunctive volume enhancement for facial depressions if they exist.

Fine lines, deep folds, irregular yellow bumps, grooves and “cobblestone” appearance of the face occurs mostly from many years of sun damage. Sagging skin on the jaw line and deeper smile folds around the mouth, and falling eyelid skin hanging over the eyes, is not what you were accustomed to seeing on your face many years ago. Sun has more to do with the aged appearance of the face than one’s age. This damage to the elastic and collagen fibers of the infrastructure of the skin can be significantly improved with facial resurfacing. Technology has changed so much from the olden days when deep chemical peels, dermabrasion sanding, and carbon dioxide laser resufacing were done. There still is a place occasionally for these procedures but the wound that was created by these treatments had unwanted side effects such as a two week healing period with a lot of wound care and many months of redness and some people developed much paler skin color.

Currently, the newer plasma energy (Portrait® Plasma) resurfacing and Fraxel fractional laser resurfacing (Repair and Restore) allow for quicker healing, a more comfortable convalescence, and more natural appearing skin. Multiple gentle treatments can be given to lessen the down time or one deeper treatment can be given. Most patients heal within one week for the most aggressive treatment with Fraxel or Portrait. Depressed acne scars can raise up as a result of your body’s new collagen production from the treatment. The edges of the scars can be smoothened. Wrinkles are made less deep and fine lines can significantly improve. I have seen the badly weathered “cobblestone” surface of the skin vanish as a result of these procedures.

No treatment is without risk. Interested patients should seek consultation with an experienced laser surgeon to learn if they are a candidate for the procedure, what the treatment entails, what the aftercare involves, and what all the risks are.

Many resurfacing procedures are performed with additional treatment to improve the results by adding Botox and fillers. Deep grooves can be lifted with the use of collagen, including Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, and Radiesse. Loss of facial fat from congenital conditions, trauma or age, creates an old and sickly appearance that can be corrected by fat injections (that’s right, taking excess fat out of one part of you and putting it back where you need it!), and Sculptra.

A product that may come to the market, and which has just completed the third FDA phase of testing, may help raise up scars and wrinkles by promoting your own collagen buildup, This involves injecting your own fibroblasts that are raised in a laboratory culture. These cells are the producers of your collagen and once the Isolagen is injected under your scars or wrinkles, your body will start to produce new collagen to help improve the contour of those areas. Keep watching for this exciting development in the media in the next year. Start writing here.

Solutions for Sagging Skin

When you see wrinkles developing, you probably don’t think about what type of wrinkles they are. However, the cause, severity, and location of wrinkles, lines, or folds dictate the appropriate treatment.

Crow’s feet, lines between your eyes, and forehead wrinkles are most often the result of rigid facial muscles. This type of wrinkling can be treated effectively with Botox, which works by relaxing the facial muscles.

Diminished facial contours, thinning lips, and wrinkles around the mouth may be caused by the loss of facial volume. Dermal fillers can replace what has been lost, smooth winkles, and enhance facial contours.

Lax, hanging skin, such as jowls, may genuinely be excess. If the problem is mild to moderate, we may be able to treat it with minimally invasive procedures such as Ultherapy, which tightens and lifts skin with ultrasound technology. An excessive amount of sagging skin may require a surgical facelift procedure.

Aesthetic enhancement is highly individualized, requiring a customized treatment plan. For many patients, the best results are achieved through a combination of procedures, to address all issues effectively. It’s never too late to improve your skin, and take years off your appearance.

A one hour, less or more, procedure as an outpatient, without surgery and without down time delivers deep focused ultrasound energy to the deep dermis causing contraction of the connective tissue and tightening / lifting of the face and collagen production that continues to occur over six months after the treatment.

Ultherapy http://www.thenyac.com/ultherapy/index.html is not a facelift, nor can it generate the same amount of lift that the skin will be raised in a face lift, but young patients and older patients are candidates for this treatment. A young person may just start to see the descent of their facial features. The eyebrows lose their arch and become flatter bringing down the upper eyelids which then develop a little hooding or crease. The mid cheek falls creating a mound over the smile crease and the jowls form over the jawline bringing down the corners of the cheeks. The skin of the neck under the chin becomes floppy or the muscle bands become prominent. Patients in their late thirties and early forties may seek such treatment to delay the time that there would be prominent sagging. People in their late 60s and 70s might have developed medical conditions or take medications that make a surgical facelift more risky.
