REJUVENATION
A COMBINATION APPROACH
Anti-wrinkle injections can smooth the lines and wrinkles that develop on the
face over time, resulting in a more youthful-looking appearance. However,
as natural fat dissipates with age, often a face cannot be fully rejuvenated
without restoring volume loss in the cheeks and other areas of the face.
Where facial volume has been depleted with age, augmenting techniques
such as dermal fi llers and fat transfer can be used in combination with antiwrinkle
injections to achieve an overall, non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
A number of different fi llers are available, all of which vary in their longevity,
composition and viscosity. Depending on their individual circumstances, patients
may benefi t from superfi cial fi llers used to tighten the skin, in combination with
deeper, longer-lasting fi llers designed to tackle deeper issues and reshape and
remodel the face.
Complementary procedures such as anti-wrinkle injections to tackle fi ne lines
and laser skin treatments to improve the tone and texture of the skin can be
administered at the same time, or as part of a program spread over several
weeks, in order to fully refresh a patient’s appearance.
It is important that the methods used to refresh and restore youth to the
face are tailored to each patient. The key to non-surgical facial rejuvenation is
a thorough consultation, during which our cosmetic doctor, Dr Roos, can
explain what can be achieved and decide upon the optimal treatment plan for
each patient.
