If you're looking to refresh your appearance and reduce the signs of aging, facial rejuvenation can help you turn back the clock.
Our board-certified plastic surgeon and the experienced team at Carl N. Williams, Jr. M.D. Hand & Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, Nevada, offer both nonsurgical and surgical options. Here’s how we can help you take 10 years off of your face and neck.
Sun damage, smoking, poor diet, and the natural aging process take a toll on your skin. Fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and a dull complexion can leave you feeling older than your years.
Before you can find the right cosmetic treatment to reach your goals, you first have to outline your concerns. For example, if you’re bothered by the dreaded 11’s (glabellar lines), you might benefit from neurotoxin injections. If you want to address multiple concerns, including deep wrinkles and sagging skin, you might opt for a facelift.
The good news is that you don’t have to make these decisions on your own. Dr. Williams reviews your goals with you during a one-on-one consultation. He also examines your skin health and elasticity before determining the right path for you.
For mild to moderate facial aging, Dr. Williams may recommend nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments, such as:
As you age, you lose volume in areas like the cheeks, under the eyes, and around the mouth. Dermal fillers, made from hyaluronic acid, help restore this lost volume and smooth out lines and wrinkles. The result? A plumper, more youthful appearance that can last up to a year or more.
While dermal fillers are good for static wrinkles, neurotoxins such as Botox® can help smooth dynamic wrinkles, those that form after years of repetitive facial movements.
Fraxel laser resurfacing is a noninvasive option that targets sun damage, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. By stimulating collagen production, Fraxel works to resurface the skin and give it a smoother and brighter look.
It’s ideal for those who want to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of age spots and wrinkles without the downtime of surgery. Dr. Williams has more than 30 years of laser experience and is one of the first providers to bring Fraxel to Las Vegas.
Kybella is an injectable treatment that breaks down fat cells under the chin and helps to contour and slim the area. After a series of treatments, you’ll notice a more defined jawline, diminishing that double chin and taking years off of your neck and lower face.
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a treatment that combines the power of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and firm your skin. This treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, both of which help to smooth wrinkles and lift sagging skin on your face and neck.
It’s an excellent option for those looking for a nonsurgical approach to skin tightening.
ThermiSmooth uses radiofrequency energy to reduce signs of aging around your eyes, forehead, cheeks, mouth, and neck due to skin laxity. It’s a quick treatment — taking just about 30 minutes — and patients say it feels similar to getting a hot stone massage.
Many people find that minimally invasive procedures serve them well when their aging concerns are mild. When the time is right, they can consider surgery for more intense signs of aging.
If you’re ready for a more permanent solution, a facelift or neck lift can deliver dramatic results. A facelift addresses sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial structure, while a neck lift tightens loose skin and muscles in the neck. You can get one procedure or opt to do both at the same time.
You might also benefit from a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) to correct sagging, tired-looking eyes. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that eyelid lifts are the fifth most popular cosmetic surgery.
Together, these procedures can take a decade off of your appearance.
Often, the best way to achieve the most natural and rejuvenated look is by combining treatments. For example, dermal fillers can be used neurotoxins to address volume loss and expression lines, while an eyelid lift and facelift can rival the fountain of youth.
Taking 10 years off of your face and neck is more attainable than ever with today’s advanced cosmetic and surgical treatments, and our team is here to help you on this mission. These treatments — paired with regular sunscreen use, a healthy diet, smoking cessation, and a good skin care routine — can do wonders for your appearance.
