Rejuvenate Your Face without Cosmetic Surgery

Many people, particularly younger people who are just beginning to show signs of aging on their faces, wish to restore their facial skin but do not feel ready for more extensive cosmetic surgery. While facelift techniques have improved to the point that very specific parts of the face can be targeted, allowing for more subtle and natural-looking results, there are a number of non-surgical alternatives that may be ideal for certain patients. Injectable treatments, including Juvéderm™, ArteFill®, and BOTOX® Cosmetic produce outstanding rejuvenation results without the need for surgery.

While the results of injectable treatments are temporary, treatments can be repeated as necessary. Of the three injectable treatments available at Dr. Joseph Fodero’s plastic surgery practice in New Jersey, two are classified as dermal fillers: Juvéderm™ and ArteFill®. Juvéderm™ is comprised of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the human body that helps to provide skin with its elasticity. ArteFill®, on the other hand, is composed largely of purified bovine collagen and is known for its extremely long-term results.

Perhaps the best known injectable treatment is BOTOX® Cosmetic, which, unlike Juvéderm™ and ArteFill® is not a dermal filler. Rather, BOTOX® Cosmetic is a highly purified toxin that targets the muscles responsible for wrinkles. By forcing these wrinkles to relax, wrinkles and fine lines temporarily fade.

All three injectable treatments result in smoother, healthier-looking skin that is noticeably free from wrinkles and fine lines. These treatments can be combined with other cosmetic treatments such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and liposuction as part of a comprehensive body makeover plan.
