As you age, your body may not feel as young as it once did. However, you don't always need cosmetic surgery to achieve a younger-looking appearance that you can't wait to show off.
If you're struggling with wrinkles, fine lines, or fat pockets you can't eliminate on your own, Dr. Anthony N. Dardano offers other options. He's an experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon offering injectables, fillers, and PRP facials to rejuvenate skin.
As you age, your body undergoes numerous changes, some of which can make you appear older. For instance, wrinkles develop on your forehead and face, along with fine lines and discoloration.
But why do you look older, even when you've taken care of your skin? The aging process affects everyone, and the body begins producing less collagen and elastin, which help keep your skin supple and youthful.
Collagen is what gives skin its elasticity, which decreases with age. The skin becomes far less elastic, appearing saggy or droopy. You can develop jowls or under-eye bags, which add years to your appearance.
Years of sun exposure also age the skin, leading to premature wrinkles, fine lines, and discolored patches. The good news is that you don't have to deal with the signs of aging – various treatments help.
Cosmetic surgery is one option for a younger appearance, but it's invasive and not necessary for everyone. We offer several nonsurgical options to erase signs of aging and give you a youthful glow you can't wait to show off. A few of these options include:
Dermal fillers are substances we inject under the skin to restore lost volume and improve fullness. The most common filler is Hyaluronic acid, which is naturally occurring in the body. It reduces the signs of wrinkles, fine lines, and sunken cheeks.
Platelet-rich plasma is a treatment we utilize with microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production. PRP contains influential growth factors that accelerate cell recovery, tightening and rejuvenating the skin.
Injectables like Botox or Dysport are potent neurotoxins that temporarily paralyze muscles by disrupting nerve signals. When the muscles can't move, they relax, eliminating stubborn wrinkles and fine lines.
Chemical peels are treatments that remove various layers of the skin to reveal a fresh, healthy appearance. There are different forms of peels, from a simple lunchtime peel to a deep peel that takes weeks to recover.
Collagen is an essential protein that keeps your skin tight and youthful – but production slows with age. Radiofrequency, laser, and intense pulsed light therapies are collagen-stimulating, nonsurgical options that reveal younger, healthier-looking skin.
Nonsurgical treatments offer excellent results, but they aren't for everyone. Nonsurgical cosmetic procedures only provide so much relief, and can't always fix major issues or extremely sagging skin.
Sometimes, surgery is the best option to achieve the results you want. For instance, surgery may provide more permanent results, whereas nonsurgical methods usually require repeat appointments to maintain the results.
You may also opt for cosmetic surgery if you have significant sagging skin or permanent fat reduction. It's also a good idea if you're looking for dramatic results and aren't afraid of the recovery.
Nonsurgical options let you achieve a youthful glow without incisions, significant downtime, or increased risk. Our options are excellent for subtle improvements that restore skin structure and elasticity while reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
