Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
There are several ways to rejuvenate the face without undergoing surgery.
Fillers help fill voids, hydrate the face, and create a more youthful appearance. They’re coupled with neurotoxins (IE Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau) to help soften and eliminate dynamic wrinkles! If you start the process early enough, you may prevent the transformation of dynamic wrinkles into static wrinkles!
To address laxity in the skin, thread lifts are a great option. They help lift the skin and minimize the lax appearance. This can be done in the interim period of a facelift- for example, in the patient that isn’t quite ready for a face lift but has the appearance of lax skin.
Cheek, Chin and Jawline Rejuvenation
Surgery isn’t for everyone.
For this reason, we have non-surgical options for cheek, chin and jawline enhancement!
As we age, we not only lose collagen and fat in our face, but we also lose bone volume as well.
Fortunately, both are replaceable!
There are certain fillers that mimic boney structures and others that mimic soft tissues. This allows for the enhancement of the cheek, chin and jawline through ensuring proper proportionality of the face.
Adding volume to the face will also help alleviate skin redundancy to a certain point! These enhancements will then allow for a well rested and balanced appearance to the face.
Hand Rejuvenation
In different videos, we’ve covered non-surgical anti-aging techniques of the head and neck which include neurotoxins (Botox), fillers, and thread lifts. We also covered surgical techniques, such as face and neck lifts.
Now, let’s discuss hand rejuvenation- a common telltale sign of aging!
Hand rejuvenation is performed through the strategic placement of fillers within the dorsal (non-palm) aspect of the hand. This allows for subtle contouring of the hand, elimination of crepe-like appearance the skin, and blunting of skin wrinkles. It also allows for minimizing the appearance of tendons and veins of the hand!
The procedure itself will hydrate the skin, and is quick, painless, and may last up to 18 months!
Thread Lift
As we age, we not only lose volume in our face but also develop laxity in our skin. We fix the former with volumizing products such as fillers. The latter is fixed with thread lifts or face lifts.
A face lift is a permanent correction procedure that involves an operation!
A thread lift is a non-surgical option that involves the displacement of skin laxity to an area that is less visible. It works by the insertion of a suture-like substance with tiny barbs. These barbs then hook onto the adjacent lax skin and reduce the lax appearance. It is noteworthy to mention that the suture, and the barbs, are dissolvable!
The overall results may last up to 2 years!
Microneedling
Microneedling is the use of tiny (micro) needles to encourage the creation of more collagen. The basic principle is that the micro needles create an “insult” to the skin. The skin then responds by creating more collagen rich tissue. Thus, allowing the skin to become more toned and have far better texture!
Timeline to see the beautiful changes:
- Days 3-5: Possible peeling and flaking of skin
- 1 week: Earliest signs of change
- 3-4 weeks: Longer and more dramatic changes
- 4-6 weeks: Ready for the next session
The basic tenet of this procedure is to create a controlled “insult or injury” to the tissue and allow for its subsequent recovery. Thus, you want to ensure adequate time to elapse from each session- approx 4-6 weeks.
Anti-Aging
It’s never to early to start the anti-aging process!
In fact, the earlier you start, the more benefits you’ll gain as you age. Botox and Fillers can prevent the formation of static wrinkles from dynamic wrinkles.
We covered this in a different video…but dynamic wrinkles are natural creases that form with muscle movement. Think of the lines you get on your forehead when you raise your eyebrows. Over time, these dynamic wrinkles turn into static wrinkles. The wrinkles become permanent, and may form deep lines!
The earlier you start a Botox (neurotoxin) regimen, the less likely you are to have static wrinkles.
You also want to make sure that you utilize a good skin care regimen, use sunblock, and try to avoid the sun.
Décolletage Rejuvenation
Before we begin rejuvenating the décolletage area, let’s begin with defining where the area is!
The décolletage area is located between the lower aspect of the neck to the upper aspect of the breast/chest. This is an area that is often exposed with a v-neck shirt or a strapless dress. Sun exposure and loss of volume to this area can lead to a wrinkled appearance of the skin.
The décolletage area is addressed using Sculptra to volumizing the soft tissues and minimize the wrinkling and crepe-like appearance of the skin! Sculptra, or poly-L-lactic-acid fillers act by creating a scaffolding in which the body’s natural collagen will build and restructure the anatomy.
Brazilian Buttock Lift (BBL) with Sculptra
There’s a subset of my patients that elect to have a larger buttock- whether it’s projection, width, or both- WITHOUT an operation.
In addition, some patients don’t have adequate adiposity (fat) to undergo a proper liposuction and subsequent BBL fat transfer, or merely don’t have time to undergo recovery from an operation.
Thus, we proceed with augmenting the size of the buttock with Sculptra, or poly-L-lactic-acid fillers. They act by creating a scaffolding in which the body’s natural collagen will build and restructure the anatomy, and create a fuller, natural appearance.
Sessions are spaced part by approximately 6 weeks, and may be repeated until the desired size is achieved.
Hip Dip Correction with Sculptra
This is designed for the patient that desires to have their hip dips filled WITHOUT an operation.
This allows for a beautiful hip to waist ratio without the recovery time!
This is a great option for:
- patients that don’t have adequate adiposity (fat) to undergo a proper liposuction and subsequent fat transfer
- patients that don’t have time to undergo recovery from an operation

Eyelash Enhancement
There’s a better solution to applying synthetic eyelashes everyday- growing them naturally.
Latisse is a topical medication that not only increases the number of eyelashes, but also increases its length! This is contrary to the normal anatomy of the eyelash- one follicle, one eyelash.
Application is easy!
You start applying the ointment from the medial (closes to your nose) skin and eyelash junction to the lateral (closest to your ear). This is also only applied to the upper eyelid, once a night!
