CONTOUR TRL ™ – LASER SKINRESURFACING The three signs of facial aging are texture (fine lines and wrinkles), loss of facial volume, and loss of elasticity with resulting laxity. Treating all three of these components will provide the best rejuvenation. Sciton’s Contour TRL (Total Resurfacing Laser) is an aggressive treatment designed to improve facial texture. The description of the laser is in the name. Total resurfacing is a concept that involves removing or ablating the external layers of the skin to allow replacement with new smooth skin. The procedure involves a short procedure with general anesthesia to allow for patient comfort during laser use. As the external layers of skin are removed, the recovery process involves 7-10 days of skincare to allow skin cell regrowth. The fine lines and wrinkles disappear as the new skin cells grow to replace the outer layer of skin called the epidermis. Maintaining healthy skin after the procedure involves minimizing sun exposure and continuing a healthy skincare regime. The Contour TRL can be repeated every few years if desired or the skin can be maintained with less aggressive lasers in CaloSpa that involve minimal to no downtime. The best results can occur when you utilize maintenance procedures over time to improve skin texture.
OTOPLASTY A popular procedure to improve ear protrusion by pinning the ears back is an otoplasty. The otoplasty procedure is a quick treatment for prominent ears that will enhance the facial appearance. The procedure involves placing a small incision on the back of the ear, removing cartilage, and placing permanent sutures to hold the ear in place. During the COVID-19 pandemic, mask wearing led to an increase in otoplasty because the ears became one of the visible structures outside of the mask. The procedure can be performed on children and adults using either a local anesthetic or general anesthesia. Ear protectors and a headband are worn for a few weeks after the procedure as the patient recovers. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not for everyone, however. Those patients looking for more dramatic results may not find the benefits of a non-surgical rhinoplasty enough to achieve their needs. The treatment works well on external issues, but a non-surgical rhinoplasty cannot correct interior issues such as a deviated septum or breathing irregularities. Additionally, the liquid rhinoplasty must be repeated every year or two. The patients who are seeking a more permanent result should consider the surgery. achieved with fillers include smoothing small indentations, creating a straighter-looking nasal bridge, and lifting a drooping nasal tip. The overall appearance can be improved with slight tweaks from filler injections, improving facial symmetry for a more attractive appearance. Common benefits of a non-surgical rhinoplasty include: no downtime, minimal bruising and swelling, short procedure time, immediate results, changes are reversible, benefits last approximately 12 months and it’s less expensive than surgery.
LIP LIFT
LIP ENHANCEMENT Lip injections with Hyaluronic Acid fillers are popular procedures that can augment and shape the lip. They are temporary and must be repeated yearly if the patient wants to maintain the result. An alternate more permanent treatment is the insertion of a lip implant. The procedure involves making small incisions in the corner of the mouth to insert a silicone implant. The implant can be placed in the upper or lower lip or both. The patient has the option to do the procedure in the office using a local anesthetic with minimal downtime. individuals with long distances between the nose and upper lip who have very thin lips. The procedure can be done in the office under local anesthesia with minimal to no downtime. Sometimes a composite lip enhancement can be performed with a lip lift and filler injections or lip implant insertion to give the best result. An upper lip lift is a great technique to improve the appearance of the upper lip. It allows more red lip to show by shortening the upper lip distance subsequently everting the lip. The procedure is designed for

M y final advice is to address facial aging early. It starts with a good lifestyle… stable weight, a healthy lifestyle, sunscreen, and good physician-directed skincare. I do believe starting Botox ® , fillers and lasers will provide all a patient needs for most well into their 40’s. In addition, even when facial surgery is necessary, all of these non-surgical modalities MAINTAIN the results, reducing or delaying the need for future surgical procedures. It is the marriage of non-surgical and surgical procedures, in concert with each other, that provides optimal outcomes!
