DR. JOSEPH FODERO: Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation encompasses a variety of techniques, which range from simple things such as Botox, to soften fine lines around the face, to fillers, to deeper plumpers to restore some of the lost volume. It also involves skin treatments such as advanced skin care, laser treatment, microdermabrasion, and things like that. And nonsurgical facial rejuvenation can be used as a standalone procedure for someone that’s simply not ready for a surgical procedure or doesn’t need a surgical procedure. It may be for someone that would benefit from surgery but just doesn’t have the time or finances for that. And in many cases, the nonsurgical techniques can be used along with surgical techniques to give an even better overall result. There are some patients that simply aren’t ready for a surgical procedure, because they don’t need a surgical procedure. They don’t need a facelift, they don’t need their eyes done, but they have some of the early stigmata of facial aging. A fine line between the eyebrows, some jowling, a prominent fold in the face, and for those patients a procedure such as Botox or a filler is all that they need, and that may be all they need for many, many years.
One of the major advantages of nonsurgical treatments is that they are easy to do, there’s no recovery at all, people can typically have them in a 30 minute period and then go back to work and their life immediately.
