A variety of factors can contribute to skin aging, whether genetics, environmental toxins, or harmful products. Whatever the cause, non-surgical cosmetic approaches can be an effective solution to reduce these visible signs of aging. The key is starting treatment before the symptoms become severe, which can lead to better, longer-lasting results.
If you have skin concerns you wish to address (but may not require a full plastic surgery treatment), we encourage you to call our office and schedule a consultation to discuss the non-surgical procedures in Stockbridge that may suit you.
Non-Surgical Procedures and Their Benefits
Non-surgical procedures can dramatically improve your skin’s appearance and the visible signs of aging. These do not involve cutting tissue, although some may pierce the skin with fine needles, which is known as “minimally invasive.”
Our office in Stockbridge offers multiple non-surgical procedures to choose from. We have a comprehensive range of options to rejuvenate your skin and address your cosmetic concerns.
We understand that each person is unique. During your consultation with our skilled plastic surgeon, you will receive a thorough examination to determine the best procedure to address your facial structure, skin type, and aesthetic goals.
Injectables
Cosmetic injectables are used for several reasons, but ultimately help to enhance your facial appearance and combat the visible signs of aging.
For instance, neuromodulators or neurotoxins, such as Botox or Dysport, temporarily paralyze muscles involved in dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles form over areas affected by facial expressions, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. The effects of neurotoxins generally last three to four months.
Dermal fillers are another type of injectable used to restore volume or smooth out static wrinkles and folds. These can also add lip volume, cheek contours, and define your jawline. Most are made from hyaluronic acid, naturally found in the skin and you can expect results to last from six months to two years.
In addition, biostimulators are classified as fillers that stimulate your body’s collagen production, offering more gradual but longer-lasting results.
Semaglutide Injection
Semaglutide is a medication originally FDA-approved for the management of Type 2 diabetes. It has since been approved as a weight loss aid, as it helps regulate blood sugar, reduce glucagon release, and slows stomach emptying.
Each of these factors leads to better glycemic control and weight loss. The medication is administered once a week as an injection. It is generally well tolerated, but it must be used under medical supervision, especially in people with a history of pancreatitis or thyroid tumors.
Morpheus8 Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin procedure in which a handheld device uses tiny needles to create micro injuries to the skin. The healing process stimulates collagen production and helps remodel the treated area.
As the tiny needles work their magic, radiofrequency energy is simultaneously delivered to enhance collagen and elastin production. Morpheus8 can be used over various areas of the face and body with minimal downtime. Most people experience only mild redness and swelling for a couple of days.
BodyTite, AccuTite, and FaceTite
Another popular type of non-surgical treatment utilized by our Stockbridge patients is skin tightening. BodyTite assists with body contouring using radio frequency-assisted lipolysis, tightening the skin and reducing fat in targeted areas. The outcome is like liposuction, but there is less downtime and scarring.
AccuTite is a minimally invasive contouring procedure for small, delicate areas of the face and body, such as the inner thighs, jowls, or eyelids. It utilizes the same radio frequency-assisted lipolysis as the other Tite procedures to liquefy fat cells and stimulate collagen production. The full results typically develop over several months.
FaceTite can be an less invasive alternative to a facelift but with less downtime and fewer scars. It can address sagging skin, wrinkles, and fat deposits in the face and neck. The outcome is a more youthful appearance, especially around the jawline, cheeks, neck, and nasolabial folds.
Chemical Peels and Laser Resurfacing
Chemical peels can improve skin texture by applying a solution that removes the outer layers of tissue. At Advanced Aesthetics, we carry a series of VI chemical peels that we can tailor to your specific needs. These chemical peels are safe on all skin colors.
Laser Resurfacing uses concentrated light to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance. This treatment is effective against wrinkles, scars, age spots, and sun damage, and also promotes collagen production for firmer, smoother skin. Laser resurfacing must be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon who can tailor the procedure to your concerns and ensure that the correct type and treatment depth are used.
