Non-Surgical Solutions to an Aging Face

Have you ever looked into the mirror and wondered if there was anything to be done about fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin without major surgery? Do you need just a little touch-up for those brow creases and crow’s feet? Advanced treatments in skincare now make it possible for you to easily and effectively erase signs of aging without going under the knife or lengthy recovery periods. In fact, no one ever has to know you ever had anything done at all (but everyone will ask, “What’s your secret to younger-looking skin?”). At Preventative Wellness MD, you can experience tighter, plumper, more youthful skin without the hassles of surgery.

Turn Back the Clock with Nonsurgical Wrinkle Treatments

As the skin ages, it loses elasticity and qualities that allow it to “bounce back” or recover from damage. In the past, the only way to get rid of the wrinkles and fine lines was surgery. Now, more modern treatments are available with injectable therapies, such as Botox and Juvederm, administered by expert doctors who specialize in anti-aging therapies for both men and women.

Treatments like Botox and Juvederm are designed to restore the skin’s appearance and fight the signs of aging without invasive surgery and lengthy recovery times. Although surgery offers dramatic results (who hasn’t laughed at celebrities with that permanent “windblown” look), many people opt for nonsurgical alternatives to naturally enhance youthful features and artfully diminish wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin.

Botox in Hartford

Botox injections are generally used to treat major and minor wrinkles in the forehead, between the brows and those fine lines around the eyes that are affectionately referred to as crow’s feet. Botox relaxes the muscles that are constantly contracting, leading to wrinkles. Dr. Petruzzelli and her team at Preventative Wellness MD can help you achieve your desired results, whether you want a more natural look or a little Hollywood glam.

Juvederm in Glastonbury

The most popular filler on the market is Juvederm.  Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced in the skin that helps retain moisture. Hyaluronic acid diminishes as you age. With Juvederm injections, you can restore that plump, youthful look. Juvederm is commonly injected into the cheeks and lips, which often lose their fullness with age.

Combination Therapy for Anti-Aging

Botox and Juvederm are used together to reduce wrinkles and restore plumpness to the face, promoting a healthy, youthful glow. Much like single therapies, combination procedures are completed during a simple in-office visit without downtime. You may experience some redness or light swelling at the injection site, but this generally fades within a few hours. Results are often observed immediately with fillers like Juvederm and in 3-10 days with Botox.  Touch-up appointments may be necessary to maintain your look, but results generally last several months and maintenance appointment are quick and easy. For the best results, closely follow your Preventative Wellness MD’s pre- and post- procedure guidelines to avoid potential complications.
