Great Skin, Greater Self-Esteem
We offer a treatment regimen that triggers a robust acceleration in collagen production that continues for several months. Your skin becomes softer, more supple, has a more radiant surface, and is slightly tightened. Fine lines around the mouth and crow’s feet areas are diminished, with an improvement in your neck profile.
Facial Rejuvenation Rome, GA
As we age, it is natural to look for ways to make our appearance more youthful and robust. Each person has a unique set of facial issues that surface when navigating the aging process. For some, simple things such as hydration, avoiding tobacco, limiting sun exposure, and basic skin care, are all they require to maintain a positive sense of self-image.
People who wish to take a more proactive approach may add an assortment of additional services such as:
So, Where Do We Begin?
Spa Services/Skin Care Products
After thoroughly evaluating your skin, our licensed medical esthetician will offer recommendations that can make meaningful improvements in your facial appearance. You may pursue your goal of restoring the radiance of your skin at your own pace. Our luscious menu of facials offers something for every skin type and the exquisite line of skin care products from iS Clinical are botanically derived and sophisticated enough to target a host of skin conditions in a safe, predictable fashion.
Injections
As wrinkle patterns become more ingrained in the skin of the forehead, between the eyes and associated with the crow’s feet, Botox and Dysport will relax specific facial muscles of expression, causing the unwanted wrinkle to fade.
Deeper furrows and creases may be improved by the injection of soft tissue fillers such as Restylane and Juvéderm. The powerful collagen stimulator Sculptra may be used to add soft tissue volume to most areas of the face (lips & eyelids excluded) and lasts nearly 18 months.
For a more permanent enhancement, your autologous fat can be harvested, cleansed and then injected into the face, helping restore lost volume of the cheek bone area, nasolabial folds, temples, marionette area and jaw line.
At Horizons Plastic Surgery, all injections are performed by Dr. Marc Wetherington.
Stimulating Your Collagen Production
So far, the treatments discussed above help improve your facial appearance by using a combination of daily, common-sense measures, reduction of the more prominent wrinkles with neurotoxins, and/or the augmentation of soft tissue volume with some type of filler material. None of these steps, so far, will have much of an impact upon the texture and appearance of the skin itself.
All successful methods of skin rejuvenation have in common their ability to increase collagen production; we refer to this as collagen induction. This additional collagen helps reduce pore size, render improvements in the texture of the skin and reduce fine lines, most notably around the mouth and crow’s feet.
Forget about those popular dietary supplements that claim to increase your collagen levels. Their ingredients are promptly digested in your G.I. tract and never reach their intended destination. Furthermore, you cannot successfully rub collagen into your skin as advertised by many manufacturers of skin care products.
The only way to convince your skin to make more collagen is to stimulate it with a mild, controlled injury utilizing medical technology such as lasers, chemicals, and micro-needling. Your skin will respond by activating the wound healing process thus increasing its collagen synthesis. This increase in collagen production continues for several months.
Laser Facial Rejuvenation
The term laser facial rejuvenation has evolved to generally imply the use of medical grade technology such as:
- Radiofrequency (RF) augmented microneedling
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
- Erbium laser (1540 nm)
- PicoSure laser (532, 755, 1064 nm)
These technologies are used to spark an increase in collagen production, or to deal with certain color disturbances (capillaries and sun spots).
Think of these treatments as highly calibrated micro-injuries to your skin, which will respond by triggering the healing process, thus ramping up the synthesis of collagen. The presence of this additional collagen renders the skin more youthful. Fine lines and pores are diminished as the new collagen refreshes the interior of your skin. The outward appearance of your skin looks refreshed as the collagen density of your skin is restored.
These technological modalities may be used individually, or in combination, to ramp up your collagen production. And they may be used not only on the face but can be applied to about any part of the body. Each patient is unique, and our recommendations will reflect your individualized needs and budget.
Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
And finally, for those seeking to improve facial areas plagued by skin laxity, several surgical procedures are available to help rejuvenate your facial appearance. These include:
- Face lift
- Neck lift
- Upper eyelid lift
- Lower eyelid lift
- Brow lift
- Otoplasty
- Earlobe repair and reduction
- SmartLipo neck
- Autologous fat grafting
Horizons Plastic Surgery offers a multitude of options for patients who wish to enhance their appearance. Visit us to explore your possibilities.
Consultations are complimentary.
