Cosmetic Procedures
If you want to feel confident in your appearance, a variety of aesthetic treatments are available from non-surgical body contouring to Botox to PRP Therapy to dermal fillers. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for facial rejuvenation is becoming ever more popular in aesthetic medicine. More traditional procedures available in this area of medicine consist of injections, including Botox and dermal fillers.
PRP treatments
These treatments isolate high concentrations of platelets and growth factors that are injected into the desired cosmetic areas to stimulation repair and growth. PRP has demonstrated usefulness in slowing or reversing the signs of aging, thereby rejuvenating the skin. IPRP is often performed in areas where Botox and dermal fillers are less effective, such as around the eyes and mouth. Research suggests that PRP therapy may be as effective in the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, and rosacea.
Botox
Botox relaxes facial wrinkles by cutting off the communication between specific nerves and muscles in the face. Botox injections can produce results in 48 hours, but it can take up to 10 days for pronounced results. Results typically last up about 4 four to six months. Only mild side effects typically result—including mild swelling and redness at the injection sites.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are medical implants that help to create a fuller, smoother facial appearance. They are often used on nasolabial folds, cheeks, and lips to increasing volume. Fillers may show immediate results. Patients will want to learn the risks involved with the use of dermal fillers.
