Skin Tone & Texture Treatments Southwest Virginia Style
Your skin may seem like just a flat surface, but your skin's appearance is based on many multidimensional factors. Your facial skin lays over bones and cartilage that create the shape of your face and muscles that contract causing facial expressions. Just beneath the surface of your skin, collagen keeps your skin plump and firm. Your skin's complexion is based on its tone and texture which can change dramatically as you age.
Many cosmetic surgery procedures only address one factor or another. Even a facelift will only tighten the skin by cutting and re-draping it, but a facelift won't improve your skin's tone and many women are disappointed that their age spots or acne scars are still visible after cosmetic surgery. You can address multiple factors to improve your skin's tone and texture and never have to go under the knife with a combination non-surgical make-over at Skin Deep Medical Technologies.
Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion
Skin has many tones including blue, yellow and red. Your skin also reflects light creating an almost luminescent effect. The clearer your skin, the more light it reflects giving you a youthful glow. When we're young, our complexion is often marred by acne. As we age, our complexion is often marred by age spots. Whether you have acne, acne scars, skin blemishes, age spots or hyper-pigmentation, diamond tip microdermabrasion gently exfoliates the outer most layers of skin. While the diamond tip resurfaces the epidermis, dead cells are immediately suctioned away leaving your skin smooth and polished. After microdermabrasion treatments, new, healthy cell growth is stimulated restoring your skin tone with a more youthful appearance.
BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections
The muscles of your face, especially above the eyebrows and muscles around your eyes can actually cause your skin to wrinkle. Every time your muscles contract, the skin above creases and folds. Over time those creases become more permanent wrinkles and fine lines, usually called dynamic wrinkles. BOTOX Cosmetic revolutionized cosmetic surgery by targeting the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Made from purified botulinum toxin A, BOTOX Cosmetic is injected beneath the skin usually along the forehead, around the eyes and around the mouth to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
Dermal Fillers and Wrinkle Fillers
One of the most telling signs of age is loss of volume beneath the skin. Loss of volume can result in deep lines, sunken cheeks and a gaunt look. Dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM, Captique™, CosmoDerm® and CosmoPlast® are injected beneath the skin's surface to add volume, plump lips, and alleviate the appearance of deep lines and furrows.
Dermal fillers, also known as wrinkle fillers, replenish or augment your skin's own collagen production. Recent studies have shown that Restylane can actually stimulate the growth of new collagen. This may explain the more lasting effects of consecutive treatments. Restylane and Captique are made from highly purified (non-animal) hyaluronic acid, which simulates the effects of natural hyaluronic acid found in the body. Both Restylane and Captique are FDA approved and are generally used to effectively fill nasal-labial folds, marionette lines and scar depressions.
CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast are made from human collagen and both are hypoallergenic. CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast also have a very natural feel beneath the skin and can be used to fill acne scars, dimples, deep furrows and frown lines, and are safe enough to use around the eyes. CosmoPlast has had especially impressive results in the vermilion border of the lips, leaving a soft, silky feel.
Most of our New River Valley and Blacksburg patients report minimal or no discomfort when receiving injectable wrinkle fillers and require no down time after the procedure. Some of our New River Valley patients may need more than one treatment to achieve their desired look. Subsequents treatments result in gradual changes that result in softer, plumper skin over a period of weeks or months. If you wish, this option allows you to experience enhancements that are not sudden or obvious to others.
Each of these treatments can be used independently or in various combinations to achieve a younger, healthier and more beautiful appearance. Non-surgical facial rejuvenation is the cutting edge of cosmetic surgery without ever using a knife.
