What on earth is skin rejuvenation? This is a commonly used term that broadly describes the various treatments for rejuvenating the skin and face, ultimately making it look younger. With the myriad of options available at your drug store cosmetics counter, local spa, neighborhood medispa and dermatologist office, it is no surprise if you feel a little confused. We provide the comprehensive set of surgical and non-surgical options for face and skin rejuvenation, with a 15 year history of success and thousands of procedures performed. Patient satisfaction has a great deal to do with how well they are informed and that’s why we wrote this page – to help you understand the complete landscape of skin rejuvenation options available.
To begin with, it helps to separate treatments into surgical and non surgical:
If our patient’s objective is to manage age related changes, the best results are often achieved by combining surgical and non surgical treatments, or by combining the various types of non surgical treatments. For example, brown spots go hand in hand with textural changes such as wrinkles and fine lines: the pigment browns are best tackled with IPL while the wrinkles and fine lines are best addressed with laser skin resurfacing and/or neuromodulators, depending on the case.
At 8 West Clinic in Vancouver, BC we offer the complete spectrum of surgical and non surgical options for skin rejuvenation. When it comes to non surgical skin rejuvenation treatments, they can be organized into these categories. Each of them treat a specific type of age related change.
There are many options available for dealing with the common age related changes that occur in the face. They range from minimally invasive (with subtle incremental improvements and little downtime) to invasive (with dramatic improvements and longer downtime). Properly diagnosing the anatomical reasons for aging is essential for developing an effective treatment plan. Understanding anatomy and how the face ages is key, and as a team of specialists that includes a facial plastic surgeon, this is something that we excel at.
For example, if your poor mento cervical angle (the one that goes from the chin to the neck and is sharp, lean and long on some people, and blunt, full and short on others) is due to a lax platysma muscle, Kybella injections won’t help, but a platysmaplasty will. This is a situation where balancing our patient’s objectives with their tolerance for downtime is important. The gold standard for treating a lax platysma is surgery: there is a very high chance of creating a dramatically improved appearance of the double chin area with long lasting results. However, some patients just don’t want surgery. If the patient isn’t open to surgery but still desires an improvement, then tightening the skin envelope with skin resurfacing in combination with stimulating collagen with skin tightening, may produce enough of an improvement to satisfy the patient.
