Facial aesthetic procedures are advanced treatments with rejuvenating properties for enhancing your appearance and improving your self-image and pride. Today’s innovative facial aesthetic treatments and skincare combine both art and modern science, so that even small changes can provide dramatic facial improvements. These treatments can soften wrinkles, fill acne pockmarks, contour the face, and define certain facial features.
Do you have blemishes? Wrinkles? Sagging skin? A crooked nose? An unattractive scar? If you are unhappy with a specific facial feature, this negative feeling can affect your self-confidence and self-esteem.
When considering options for facial aesthetics, you should contact a medical professional for a consultation, as there are effective non-surgical and surgical procedures that can improve facial appearances.
In the U.S., board-certified doctors often perform these surgical facial plastic procedures:
Rhinoplasty: Reshaping the nose
Blepharoplasty: Reducing excess skin on upper and/or lower eyelids
Browlift: Improving forehead wrinkles and droopy eyebrows
Rhytidectomy: Tightening the skin on the face and neck
Liposuction: Removing excess fat under the chin or in the neck
Facial implants: Making certain facial features more defined
Otoplasty: Reshaping the ears
Facial reconstruction: Repairing defects with reconstructive surgery
Non-surgical facial aesthetics can include everything from skincare to non-invasive procedures performed by qualified medical professionals.
Traditional non-surgical facial aesthetics treatments include:
Botulinum toxin: (Botox) injections and collagen injections
Topical treatments: Skin care and other products such as hyaluronic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, glycolic acid, and retinoid products
Dermal fillers and fat transfer procedures
Exfoliation processes: Chemical peels, dermabrasion, and microdermabrasion
Photodynamic rejuvenation: Photodynamic rejuvenation and laser/light resurfacing treatments
Laser resurfacing: Laser resurfacing and laser skin rejuvenation
Ultrasound: Devices such as Sofwave to cause collagen remodelling
Botox injections are among the most popular cosmetic medical procedures. Botulinum toxin blocks the transmitters between the motor nerves that innervate the muscle, which simply means Botox is a type of muscle relaxer.
Once the motor nerve endings are interrupted, the muscle cannot contract – and when that muscle stops contracting, the dynamic motion that causes wrinkles also stops. Consequently, the skin smooths out.
In 2020, Sofwave™ unveiled its next-generation ultrasound technology for treating wrinkles and lax skin. Sofwave™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology is now a preferred treatment for many doctors and their clients. The ultrasound energy precisely passes through the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen and elastin fibers, improving facial and neck appearances.
Physicians and patients worldwide appreciate the safety features of this Sofwave™ SUPERB™ advanced technology.
With these treatments, doctors require no needles, no incisions, and no anesthesia to safely restore your skin to a more youthful appearance.
Sofwave™ ultrasound energy cannot penetrate deeper than 2 mm, thus preventing skin injuries.
The system’s Sofcool™ cooling mechanism provides safety through real-time skin temperature monitoring, protecting the uppermost skin layer from burning. Treated patients feel only minimal discomfort during the 45-minute procedure.
Sofwave™ SUPERB™ technology has is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to improve facial lines and wrinkles and for lifting eyebrows and lax neck and submental tissue.
Depending on the goal, Sofwave™ can be an effective solution vs. plastic surgery. To obtain more information and locate a Sofwave™ provider near you, please contact us.
In 2021, ELLE Magazine’s “2021 Future of Beauty Awards” named Sofwave™ as one of the best in the In-Office Skin Treatment Category. In April, Sofwave™ was named this year’s NewBeauty Award winner for “Best Latest in Ultrasound.”
Board-certified plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons and dermatologists and their teams will advise clients and ensure that results will be in balance with the patient’s other facial features.
In almost every country, medical aesthetic services are now widely provided in medical spas and in offices of physicians who are board-certified with a vast knowledge of facial aesthetics and services.
An Internet search can provide you with more details on facial aesthetics and on medical spas that you can visit for more information.
