Get a Facelift Without Surgery
Time, genetics, hormones, sun exposure, and years of facial contractions eventually take a bit of a toll on the face. Fine lines, wrinkles, thinning lips and cheeks, acne scars, sun spots, and more can show up at any time, often causing you to look older than you are or than you feel. While facelift surgery could be an appropriate option for your needs, there are nonsurgical facial rejuvenation procedures that may be better suited to your desires. At The Aesthetic Institute, Dr. Robert Wald uses BOTOX® Cosmetic, injectable fillers, and Sciton® laser treatments to provide patients with a nonsurgical facelift.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Dr. Wald uses BOTOX® Cosmetic primarily to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines as well as for additional FDA-approved medical treatments. This neurotoxin formula derived from botulinum toxin type A blocks nerve signals to temporarily paralyze facial muscles from contracting and causing facial wrinkles. Dr. Wald conducts the procedure on an outpatient basis at his Fullerton practice, and it takes only a few minutes per treatment. Patients need no downtime to recover, and they begin to see satisfying results within 24 to 48 hours. Results typically last between three and six months, after which time most patients return for touch-up treatments.
Injectable Fillers
Unlike BOTOX®, injectable fillers do not inhibit the movement of facial muscles to reduce wrinkles. Rather, they fill in the tissue where the wrinkles or lines are located to restore the face to a fuller and more youthful appearance. Dr. Wald offers the FDA-approved facial injectable fillers of JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and RADIESSE® at his Fullerton practice. These fillers can effectively treat wrinkles around the eyes, smile lines (nasolabial folds), thinning lips, loss of definition along the jawline, loss of volume in the cheeks, depressions in the nose, and more.
Treatment With the Sciton® Laser
The Sciton® laser is a new, cutting-edge technology that Dr. Wald uses for skin tightening, acne scar treatment, sun spots, wrinkles, dermal rejuvenation, vascular lesion reduction, and more. The heat from the Sciton® laser kills active bacteria, shrinks oil glands, and stimulates collagen growth and contraction to heal the skin. Precision cooling prevents the surface skin from being damaged while the laser heat penetrates deep into the dermal layer. Treatment lasts only 15 to 30 minutes and requires no downtime, and patients experience little to no postoperative swelling or discomfort. Dr. Wald uses it on all skin types with great results.
