The New Year can mean a new beginning and a fresh start. Why can’t that apply to our appearance? Normally, when we think of plastic surgery, it usually involves just that—surgery. But that’s not always the case. There are robust and effective non-surgical procedures that can help you achieve a fresh, restored appearance for the new year.
Here are several of the most popular non-surgical treatments offered by board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Bryan Armijo in Dallas, Texas.
Botox®
Easily the most well-known and popular amongst non-invasive treatments, Botox® helps control dynamic expression lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the small groups of muscles that cause them. When injected around the eyes and forehead, Botox® blocks the nerve signals and prevents the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles. After a Botox® treatment, these muscles no longer become active when making facial expressions, resulting in a dramatic reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
Dermal Fillers
When facial wrinkles emerge due to lost volume, dermal fillers can help soften the aging process. Dr. Armijo utilizes the Juvéderm® family, a smooth consistency gel capable of restoring volume to the skin and smoothing away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm® contains hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps restore volume and add hydration for a supple, youthful appearance.
Kybella®
Another popular non-invasive procedure to help eliminate submental fullness, or the dreaded double chin, is Kybella®. This injectable solution is composed of deoxycholic acid, which helps absorb the unwanted fat by eliminating it. Depending on your individual needs, the number of injections per treatment will vary, ranging between 2-4 sessions. Most patients begin seeing significant results after their first treatment. Several appointments may be necessary to attain desired those youthful contours.
Laser Treatments
Aesthetic laser treatments are an excellent tool to address skin concerns. Dr. Armijo offers state-of-the-art laser technology to help you achieve beautiful skin. It addresses common cosmetic concerns like wrinkles, sun damage, fine lines, brown spots, acne, acne scars, and so much more. The laser skin resurfacing procedure removes layers of damaged skin to make the treated area smoother and even through short pulsed energy delivered to the desired location.
Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, can improve the appearance of your skin without harsh chemicals or injections. Microneedling uses an applicator device that creates hundreds of “microinjuries” to the skin that trigger the skin’s natural renewal process to accelerate, creating a healthy radiance to the skin. Dr. Armijo utilizes the SkinPen, which is the safest, and only FDA-approved device available. While virtually painless, most patients experience a slight tingling or prickling sensation while undergoing treatment. Microneedling is most effective at treating acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and so much more.
