5 Rejuvenation Procedures That are Worth It

By Dr. Villamarin

There are at least 5 facial rejuvenation procedures that are worth it due to their effectiveness and that can help combat the signs of aging. The ultimate goal is to improve the overall appearance of the skin.

From my point of view, based on experience and results, there are at least 5 valuable procedures to fight against the passing of the years and recover a rejuvenated image of your face. Of course, they can be combined with other procedures or surgeries to enhance the effects.

Here we tell you EVERYTHING about 5 of the most effective facial rejuvenation procedures:

1- Anti-wrinkle neuromodulators

Anti-wrinkle neuromodulators are a popular and widely used option to reduce wrinkles and expression lines. It consists of injecting small amounts of the substance into the facial muscles to relax them and soften wrinkles. It is especially effective on areas such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and between the eyebrows. It also serves to prevent wrinkles in the future and can be combined with other injectable substances in small doses to smooth and brighten the skin of the face and neck. Therefore, its effect is, at least, dual: rejuvenation and preventive anti-aging (anti-aging).

In general, the treatment is done in one session, with an already planned and personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results. Pain after treatment is usually minimal or non-existent.

2- Chemical peeling

A medical grade chemical peel is based on the application of a chemical solution and specific concentration to the skin, to exfoliate and remove layers of skin to a personalized depth and ultimately promote cell regeneration. Helps improve skin texture, reduce blemishes and smooth fine wrinkles. There are superficial, medium, and deep peels. Alternatives include mechanical dermabrasion or other procedures that produce similar effects.

Depending on each patient and concentration of substances, several sessions may be needed. Regeneration of the skin layers can take a few days and requires monitoring. Pain after therapy varies from slight to significant, depending on the chemical concentration and the extent and area of treatment.

3- Fractional laser

Fractional laser treatments use beams of monochromatic CO2 or Erbium light or even other types of lasers, which penetrate the skin and stimulate the production of new collagen, helping to reduce wrinkles, blemishes and improve texture. of the skin, in addition to tightening it a little, especially loose or distended skin.

Several sessions are usually required. The regeneration of the skin layers can take a few days and requires follow-up, just like peels. The pain after treatment is mild to moderate.

4- Treatments with intense pulsed light (IPL)

IPL uses pulsed light to treat skin blemishes, facial redness and improve overall texture, as well as to stimulate collagen production.

IPL is not really a laser, since the light beam is polychromatic. Because of this, IPL is very versatile, and has many applications, and Dr. Villamarín usually applies it in many cases, such as facial rejuvenation (by inducing new collagen), or in the removal of dilated vessels or spots, as well as as to treat some skin diseases or scars. Even Dr. Villamarín uses it for dry eyes.

As with other treatments, several sessions are usually required, and the pain is usually mild.

5- Facial aesthetic surgery

For more advanced cases of facial aging, facial cosmetic surgery procedures, such as a face lift, neck lift, lipofilling or fat transfer, or cosmetic blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), are often very effective options to tighten the skin and rejuvenate facial appearance and eyes.

There are many techniques that Dr. Villamarín can use, but he looks for the least invasive, safest and most effective for each patient. Anesthesia is usually local with sedation and the results take a little longer to become apparent but are usually important and very satisfactory. The pain may be moderate, but like all postoperative pain, it is treated effectively by Dr. Villamarín’s team to try to minimize it and ensure that the patient’s experience is smooth and without negative memories.

Conclusions

It is important to keep in mind that the choice of any of these 5 facial rejuvenation procedures or their combination with others will depend on various factors, including the condition of the skin, individual needs and the recommendations of Dr. José Villamarín.
