For individuals who desire a refreshed, younger-looking appearance without having to undergo facial cosmetic surgery, Dr. Ann Letourneau offers several minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatments. These non-surgical treatments can be performed in the span of a lunch hour and offer beautiful, natural-looking results that can last for months or years at a time.
One of the most popular minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatments, BOTOX® Cosmetic is performed to reduce the appearance of furrows and winkles that can develop between the brows over time. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections contain a type of neuromuscular toxin that is formulated to cause facial muscles beneath the brows to relax instead of contract. As a result, the lines and furrows caused by these muscles are smoothed away. Results with BOTOX® Cosmetic usually last between three and six months, at which time treatment can safely be repeated.
Radiesse™ is a type of dermal filler that is injected to reduce or eliminate the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the face. The Radiesse™ gel contains calcium and phosphate ions that occur naturally in the body. When Radiesse™ is injected into areas such as marionette lines, smile lines, and nasolabial folds, the ions in the gel stimulate the production of new collagen and plump up the skin. As a result, lines and wrinkles are filled out and smoothed away. Radiesse™ results have been known to last for up to two years.
Restylane® is similar to Radiesse™; however, it is formulated with hyaluronic acid instead of calcium and phosphate ions. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found naturally in the body and helps provide hydration to the skin. As part of the normal aging process, the body begins to decrease its production of hyluronic acid, which can contribute to wrinkles and dry, inelastic skin. Radiesse™ supplies the body with this important, natural substance that it needs to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and help keep skin looking smooth, supple, and young.
Fat grafting is a procedure that involves the transfer of fat from an individual’s body to areas on the face in order to provide more volume and smooth away the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Liposuction is used to remove fat deposits from an area such as the stomach or thighs and is then transferred to the cheeks, chin, or areas underneath the eyes. In addition to providing patients with body contouring benefits, fat grafting offers safe and effective facial rejuvenation.
