Our skin goes through a lot. From the natural effects of ageing to environmental damage and stress, our complexions are subject to constant change, most of which is out of our control.
And this, of course, has an inevitable impact on the way we look and feel. Whether you’re concerned about wrinkles or scarring or simply want to feel more confident and glowing, you might be considering opting for a facial rejuvenation treatment from a cosmetic clinic. In recent years, these have entered the mainstream as effective ways to restore skin to its former glory.
But how do you know which one is right for you?
What are facial rejuvenation treatments?
Facial rejuvenation treatments are cosmetic processes aimed at regenerating your skin’s natural contours and volume.
This makes facial rejuvenation treatments a great way to turn back time – or at least press pause on the effects of ageing and environmental damage on your skin. Want to know more? Well, here are the best facial rejuvenation treatments for you!
Micro-needling
Micro-needling uses tiny needles to create areas of controlled trauma on the skin. In turn, this generates new skin tissue, repairing areas of damage and giving new life to the face.
Due to its regenerating properties, micro-needling is a great way to reduce scarring, wrinkles and areas of hyperpigmentation. It’s often recommended by dermatologists to repair sun damage and as an acne scarring treatment.
And although its name may suggest otherwise, it’s a quick and mostly painless procedure, taking around 30 minutes per session.
However, it’s important to note that this procedure may not be safe for some people with active acne or eczema. Our team of professionals at the Dr Nestor cosmetic clinic will be sure to advise you on whether micro-needling is a good option for you.
Skin Tightening
Skin tightening, also referred to as laser resurfacing, aims at reducing the visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles. During this skin care treatment, the practitioner will use an infrared laser to generate an influx of collagen that tightens the face.
At Dr Nestor, we use the FDA-approved ResurFX device to carry out laser resurfacing procedures. Across four to six monthly sessions, you’ll see a major improvement in skin texture and tone, as well as a major tightening of those wrinkles which inevitably form over time.
Dermal fillers
Do you want to restore volume and structure in your face and complexion? Dermal fillers are a popular skin rejuvenation treatment that fill and uplift the skin. Fillers provide an additional layer of support in the skin’s structure, reducing the appearance of sagging and wrinkles.
Most cosmetic clinics opt for Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers for this type of procedure. HA is a naturally occurring substance in our skin, making it a safe and reliable ingredient and one which will break down naturally over time. This does, however, mean that the results aren’t permanent so it’s important to bear this in mind when choosing a skin care treatment.
Other fillers, such as non-HA and hybrid dermal fillers, are also commonly used as filler injections. Dr Nestor has extensive knowledge of all these potential products and is guaranteed to choose the best approach for your needs.
Silhouette Soft Threads
Silhouette Soft is a non-surgical facelift treatment that tightens the skin and redefines facial contours. It’s a great option for those looking to undergo a cosmetic procedure in a non-intrusive manner, as its regenerative effects are both gradual and discreet.
Dr Nestor is recognised globally as one of the top 100 most experienced doctors of this procedure. His ‘Lift, Tighten, Redefine’ soft thread skin lift is great for addressing facial asymmetry and for tightening the skin.
Botox
Botox is probably the most well-known cosmetic procedure and wrinkle treatment. It’s also perhaps the most controversial and criticised. It’s a term often thrown around by the media, but how many of us know exactly what the procedure refers to?
Botox is a process in which a cosmetic practitioner injects purified Botulinum Toxin Type A is injected into a client’s facial muscles. The Botox then relaxes communication between the brain and these muscles. As a result, when you smile or laugh, these muscles will not contract, limiting the appearance of wrinkles.
In popular media, Botox is often presented as a procedure which makes the face void of movement and expression. However, at Dr Nestor, we aim to soften the harsh effects of these facial movements while achieving a natural, youthful glow. Our procedure limits the effects of folding skin while also ensuring that you’ll still be free to express facial emotions.
