How to Choose Between Laser Treatments, Fillers, and Chemical Peels
Thanks to advances in technology and science, there are more anti-aging products and services on the market than ever before, which can make the search for the proverbial Fountain of Youth an awfully confusing journey.
To help you find an anti-aging solution that’s right for you, the team here at Cosmetic Surgery Center, under the direction of Drs. Paul Benien Jr. and Trent Fogleman, break down some of the more popular and effective approaches.
The fastest road to a more youthful appearance
If you’re finding that deep lines, thinning lips, and loss of volume are the primary concerns when it comes to your appearance, we offer a quick-and-easy solution with our dermal fillers. Cosmetic injectables are so effective that they’re often referred to as a liquid facelift, but instead of a knife, you’re only facing a needle.
With our extensive line of dermal fillers, which includes industry-leading brands such as Juvéderm®, Radiesse®, Sculptra®, and Belotero®, we’re able to:
- Fill in nasolabial folds (the parentheses around your mouth)
- Erase marionette lines (from lip corners to chin)
- Plump thinning lips (and reduce vertical smokers’ lines)
- Restore volume to your cheeks
- Reduce sagging around your jowls
And the best part? Your results are immediate, which means if you give us an hour, we can shave years off of your appearance.
Clearing away damaged skin
If your issues are more of complexion and surface problems, a chemical peel may be right for you. As the name suggests, these types of peels contain acids that strip away layers of damaged skin cells to pave the way for healthier new growth.
At our practice, we use chemical peels by SkinMedica®, which tackle a host of mild to severe skin concerns, including:
- Age spots
- Melasma
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and acne scarring
We offer three levels of peels that should meet your goals, and your results can range from immediate to gradual, depending on the strength of the chemical peel.
Rebuilding your skin
If you want to give your face a youthful makeover, but you’re not keen on the idea of a facelift, we offer several laser technologies that can:
- Clear away surface concerns like facial veins, acne scarring, and discolorations
- Resurface your skin
- Encourage new collagen support from below
As an example, we offer Icon® ThreeForMe laser treatments, which accomplish everything we list above in just one laser treatment.
Another option for regaining more youthful-looking skin is our CO2 laser skin resurfacing, which removes the thin outer layer of your skin (epidermis) at the same time as it heats the underlying dermis to stimulate the growth of new collagen fibers.
Lastly, we offer radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, which is an incredibly effective technology for revitalizing your skin. With microneedling, we create tiny microchannels across the surface of your skin which break apart surface concerns. The needles go one step further by delivering RF energy into your tissues to encourage support for your skin from below in the form of new collagen formation.
We hope that the above descriptions are enough to guide you in choosing which service you’d like to try. If you still have questions, contact our office in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, so that we can set up a consultation.
