In today’s society, few escape some form of facial treatment. With advancements in science, cosmetic and facial procedures have proliferated and perfected their techniques. Non-invasive treatments are at the forefront in many beauty centers due to their safe and effective results.
At My Cosmetic Surgery, the most recognized aesthetic surgery clinic in the United States, minimally invasive facial procedures are performed to combat signs of aging. In this article, we’ll discuss the most demanded by patients at the clinic, due to the immediate benefits they provide: Botox and Dysport, Restylane, and high-intensity focused ultrasound.
Botox and Dysport are the most well-known commercial brands of botulinum toxin used in cosmetic applications. This toxin acts as a muscle relaxant, helping to eliminate facial wrinkles and expression lines that form during gestures such as laughing or expressing surprise. The effect of Botox and Dysport essentially involves inhibiting acetylcholine at the muscle synapse, thereby blocking muscle contraction. In other words, Botox and Dysport prevent facial muscles from contracting, which otherwise leads to the formation of visible wrinkles and expression lines.
As we naturally age, we lose essential substances for skin health such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid, which diminishes over time, is crucial for maintaining skin volume and hydration. Therefore, Restylane treatments reduce wrinkles and expression lines by deeply hydrating the skin and restoring its volume.
On the other hand, high-intensity focused ultrasound presents itself as an effective alternative to surgical procedures, offering immediate and long-term results in skin rejuvenation and tightening without incisions. It is the most advanced medical equipment that reduces sagging, skin aging, and helps eliminate localized fat using ultrasound energy.
Each of these procedures effectively combats the signs of aging in a quick and efficient manner. The professionals administering these treatments at My Cosmetic Surgery possess the necessary experience and a long list of satisfied patients.
