Many women and men have asked us quite often if something can be done within a short period of time to make a visual difference. They will be attending a social event in a few weeks and want to look good. Here are the quick fixes that can make changes, big and small:
• Dermal fillers such as Radiesse and Juvederm give the most instant results - you see results as soon as the procedure is done. Dermal fillers revolumize deflated areas of the face. The loss of volume in multiple areas of the face create peaks, valleys and skin folds. They cast multiple shadows making the face look sad, tired or old-looking. Of course, there will be unavoidable bruising that may occur with the injections especially if youthful facial shaping is desired. However, with post-op Arnica or Bromelain (herbals), bruising can be lessened. Dermal fillers also give instant hand rejuvenation to skeleton-looking hands. Flat upper lip lengthens the space between the base of the nose and the top of the lip (philtrum), creating the matronly look. A little bit of augmentation to evert the upper lips can have an appealing impact on the whole face. You cannot take any blood thinners, aspirin, Vitamin E, Motrin and the like prior to this procedure.
• Botox manifests its effects to relax the dynamic wrinkles in 5 - 7 days; some can take up to 15 days for a few resistant horizontal forehead lines. If you already have the crows feet while face is relaxed, Botox cannot do anything about them. However, Juvederm may soften them. Neck cords and downturning of the mouth corners can be improved by Botox. It can also be used to elevate the lateral brows.
• SkinTyte(infrared broadband light) done every two weeks will help tighten up your decolette in two to three sessions. This is not so effective in a heavy neck, burdened by excess fat.
• If you truly want to have glowing skin, brown spots instantly removed, fine wrinkles improved and you have at least two weeks to make it happen, a combo treatment of Microlaser peel and light Profractional is a great thing to add. This is only recommended for those of fair skin tone. There is a social downtime of anywhere from 3 to 5 days. In 10 to 14 days, your skin will radiate with a youthful glow.
• For patients who are wishing to have a shapelier waistline, liposuction by Vaser Liposelection is the way to go. Vaser assisted liposelection is the only type of liposuction that enables a patient to recover very fast; fast enough to have the liposuction now and be ready to socialize in five to ten days.
