As time passes, our skin undergoes changes that can affect its volume, fullness, and elasticity. Thankfully, there are effective solutions available to address these concerns. Facial rejuvenation techniques and injectables offer a minimally invasive approach to target and treat fine lines and wrinkles, helping to restore a youthful appearance and boost confidence.
These procedures provide our Washington, PA patients with the opportunity to enhance their natural beauty and achieve smoother, more radiant skin.
Fill In Wrinkles & Restore Your Youthful Glow
Our smiles and our faces are so important – they are how we interact with the world! Over time, delicate facial skin can become thinner, lose elasticity, and become more prone to fine lines and wrinkles.
Facial Rejuvenation
A properly injected facial rejuvenation procedure produces beautiful, natural-looking results without hindering facial movement or expression. Certified by the AAFE, Dr. Elizabeth Wakim is trained to provide expert facial rejuvenation injections.
Injectables
injectables are a quick and minimally invasive way to erase the signs of aging. Injected beneath the skin’s surface, injectables help fill out depressed areas of the face to restore youthful volume and provide definition.
Common Questions
Hyaluronic acid and collagen are both compounds that naturally exist in healthy, youthful skin. As we age, our bodies slow the production of these compounds, which causes our skin to become thinner, less elastic, and more prone to wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid and collagen injections can both temporarily replenish this compound in the facial area, restoring volume and fullness to the skin.
Our injectables are FDA-approved injections that prompt your skin to increase collagen production for long-lasting results. The injectable is made up of tiny calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. When injected into the skin, the body slowly replaces the small, smooth microspheres with newly formed collagen.
Wrinkle reduction from this type of injection can last a year or more and is helpful in treating moderate to severe wrinkles, including smile lines and marionette lines.
Facial rejuvenation injections are a popular treatment to address a variety of concerns, including:
- Frown lines and Marionette lines
- Horizontal brow furrows and lines between the brows
- Bunny lines in the nasal region
- Crow’s feet
- Thinning hair and hair loss
Facial rejuvenation is a quick and simple outpatient procedure, and you can resume most normal daily activities as soon as you leave the office. Following facial rejuvenation treatment, patients should take a few extra precautions for four to five hours, including:
- Remaining in an upright position
- Avoiding exercise or strenuous activity
- Applying external pressure to the treated areas
Facial rejuvenation results vary from patient to patient, but typically, wrinkle reduction lasts for about four months. Rejuvenation results may become longer-lasting if treatment is consistently repeated every four to five months.
Side effects of facial rejuvenation treatment tend to be mild and should subside within one or two days. Temporary side effects may include:
- Mild burning at the injection site
- Mild headaches
- Temporary drooping of eyebrow or upper eyelid due to Botox migration
