What is facial rejuvenation?
Facial rejuvenation is the use of various techniques to correct the manifestations of aging in the skin.
Aging is a slow and inevitable process that begins to show in the skin of the face after the age of 35. As a result there are a series of changes in the skin such as:
- Wrinkles
- Flaccidity
- The appearance of pigmented lesions (spots) and vascular lesions.
Why is it performed?
These treatments are performed in order to correct the imperfections that are appearing and thus achieve the rejuvenation of facial skin, providing a more youthful and radiant appearance.
These treatments can smooth wrinkles, contour the face and define certain facial features.
What does it consist of?
Depending on the type of manifestation of aging to be rejuvenated, one technique or another will be used:
- Wrinkles can be treated with fillers, peeling and dermabrasions, laser or botulinum toxin.
- For flaccidity, radiofrequency techniques can be used.
- Peelings, cryotherapy or pulsed light can be used to remove pigmented lesions.
- For vascular lesions (spider veins and couperose), laser treatment should be used.
