Getting older comes with inevitable changes that make you look older. Many people fear wrinkles, but they aren't the only changes that cause you to age faster; other facial changes may be worse.
Certain facial features, especially wrinkles, make you appear older. The good news is that there are plenty of aesthetic and cosmetic treatments to address signs of aging.
Dr. Anthony N. Dardano and his team provide nonsurgical aesthetic treatments and surgical procedures to improve signs of aging. As a plastic and reconstructive surgery specialist, he offers injectables, facial surgery, and PRP to give you a beautiful, youthful glow.
Doesn't it seem like one day you're young and vibrant, and the next you're covering up wrinkles and fine lines? The aging process seems to sneak up on us all, which is frustrating and embarrassing at the same time.
The aging process hits your face first, probably because you see it in the mirror daily. Various signs of aging affect you throughout life, including the following:
The older you get, the more pronounced these features become. However, you can make some lifestyle changes and seek expert help to slow the signs of aging and show off a younger-looking complexion.
Most people think wrinkles are enemy #1, but that's untrue. Most people develop wrinkles in their mid-to-late thirties, while others don't see them until later.
But wrinkles are only a small piece of the puzzle. Other aging changes make you look older than wrinkles. Three facial features that age you more than those pesky wrinkles include:
Jowl formation is one of the significant signs of aging that far outweighs a few wrinkles. The jowls are the areas around the jawline where skin sags and droops. Jowl formation significantly increases how old you look.
Over time, the body decreases collagen and elastin production, two essential building blocks of strong and healthy skin. The fat pads also diminish, causing a sunken appearance to the cheeks and temples.
The skin around the eyes is extremely delicate and is prone to sagging with age. Drooping upper or lower eyelids can also contribute to the aging process and make you look older than you may be.
There's good news about the aging process; you can address these issues through lifestyle tips and expert treatments. Your options range from choosing a good skincare regimen to surgery to give you the desired look.
We offer various facial aging treatment options, from conservative measures to surgical procedures. A few of the options Dr. Dardano recommends for drooping jowls, loose skin, and other signs of aging include:
Injectable treatments include neurotoxins like Botox® to treat wrinkles and facial fillers to restore lost volume. Botox is a great option for diminishing wrinkles and fine lines, while facial fillers provide fullness to the lips and cheeks and eliminate frown lines.
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a treatment we utilize with microneedling to deliver powerful growth proteins into aging skin. The platelets help heal damaged tissue and carry powerful growth proteins that stimulate new cell growth.
Microneedling with PRP creates a smoother complexion and younger-looking appearance by stimulating collagen and elastin production while creating new skin cells.
TempSure is another treatment we offer to tighten and revitalize the skin. It utilizes radiofrequency energy to increase collagen production. It's essentially a nonsurgical facelift that delivers stunning results.
Facial surgery is an option if conservative measures don't produce the desired results. Facelifts, neck lifts, and blepharoplasty address drooping skin around the face, eyes, and neck.
These procedures offer stunning results that last many years with the proper care.
