Non-Surgical Rejuvenation

This is recommended to individuals in their 20s, 30s, 40s and even early 50s, before more aggressive surgical strategies are contemplated. These recommendations can certainly delay the need for aggressive intervention. They can also keep you looking your best if aggressive surgery is not for you.

Sunscreen (high quality with tint) and medical grade skin care products are recommended for all age groups.

20s, 30s, 40s

• subtle irregular skin pigmentation usually responds to a series of 70% glycolic acid peels
• for more pronounced irregular pigmentation IPL Photorejuvenation is an excellent treatment modality
• superficial peels combined with IPL give an even better result
• forehead worry lines and crows feet (initially only with dynamic muscle action, later becoming visible at rest) are softened by neuromodulator
  

40s, 50s, 60s, 70s

As above, plus:

• marionette (corner mouth to jaw) lines appear and neck skin is pulled forward by prominent neck muscle bands (see them in the mirror by saying 'eeee'). neuromodulator ® can soften them in addition to smoothing crowsfeet and forehead furrows, Botox ® can also achieve a subtle brow lift.
• 'fillers' (Restylane, Perlane, Evolence, Juvederm) can be used to correct volume loss across much of the face as seen in the black & white photographs above ... especially:
  • smile lines (nose corner to mouth corner)
  • a triangle from corners of mouth to jawline where we lose volume
  • under-eye dark circle groove ('tear trough')
  • temples
  • upper cheeks
• 'smile lines' (nose corner to mouth corner become more prominent grooves and can be corrected with
• Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling is a significant recent advance, rejuvenating by essentially volumizing and shrink-wrapping skin.
• There is now good medical evidence that recent breakthrough Medical Grade Skin Care Products, which we have carefully curated for our patients, visibly up-regulate skin collagen and elastic microscopically, with improvement that can be appreciate clinically.

Fillers

The above black & white photos also show the effect of filling the under-eye dark circle depression ('tear troughs') , enhancing the upper cheek and lip volume.

Peels, Neuromodulator (Botox ®, Newtox) , IPL and Fillers (Juvederm, Voluma, Restylane, Belotero, RHA) injections

usually entail no hiding time.

Annual cost of treatments is comparable to maintaining your hair cut and colour and nails.

Skin Tightening

Radiotherapy (RF) is a welcome new non-invasive rejuvenation modality. Morpheus8 (RF microneedling)is indicated for full face, eyelid and neck tightening with textural improvement and some lifting. AccuTite can be added or considered on its own for more focussed tightening around the eyes, jowls and under chin as well as smaller sections of the body such as that fat bulge just in front of the underarms and loose skin around the umbilicus (belly button).
Morpheus8 and AccuTite are indicated for sagging skin (earliest signs generally in your 40s).
