 As early signs of aging make themselves known, non-invasive options have become more popular, affordable, and effective. It is now possible to delay what might be an inevitable surgery by using a combination of facial fillers and neuromodulators. The careful selection and appropriate employment of these products can take years off one’s appearance without surgery, and without downtime. These procedures are performed in the office, and the patient is made comfortable with the application of topical numbing cream.
Three approaches exist when it comes to treating wrinkles and easing folds. One is to use temporary neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport that disarm the muscle, removing unwanted angry expressions and vertical frown lines between one’s eyes, horizontal forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet caused by squinting. The second approach is to augment troughs of unwanted folds with a sophisticated array of soft-tissue fillers in an effort to build valleys into flat plains. Juviderm, Restylane, and Radiesse are used in differing areas, depending on the effect desired and the depth of the problem. The third approach is to use lasers and peels to smooth the dermal surface of the wrinkle. Beyond the treatment of wrinkles and folds is the ability to perform non-surgical nasal, chin, and cheekbone surgery using heavier fillers such as Radiesse and Sculptra, both long-lasting (over a year or more) FDA-approved tissue augmenters used to straighten noses, augment chins and cheekbones, as well as sharpen jawlines and revolumize. A truly remarkable advancement, employed in a treatment room with only topical anesthetic, this non-invasive therapy results in changes that often reflect the delicate radiance of youth and beauty. Dr. Weintraub can help you witness a true metamorphosis toward the natural and graceful, using injectables to creatively mold, sculpt, smooth, fill and blend. Dr. Weintraub’s Viewpoint: Sharon Stone Sharon Stone has a smooth forehead lacking angry frown lines, crows’ feet, or noticeable furrows. Her nasolabial folds are soft, virtually flat, without jowl formation, and may be reflective of well-placed filler products. She possesses aesthetically pleasing youthful facial contours, including a well proportioned face, jaw line, eyes, nasal definition and lips. Cosmetic procedures to achieve this look could include non-invasive liquid facelift injectables, blephroplasty, rhinoplasty, neck lift, and conservative lip augmentation.
