Non-surgical Anti-aging Treatments for Skin Rejuvenation
Anti-aging refers to therapies that restore the body’s healing capacity and reverse signs of aging. Recent innovations in cosmetic treatments continue to unveil non-surgical procedures to address skin conditions. Here are some safe and effective anti-aging Kingwood therapies for skin rejuvenation.
Kybella injections for double chin
Kybella is a non-surgical procedure that eliminates fat under the chin. Kybella utilizes deoxycholic acid, a bile acid that can emulsify fatty tissue in the target area. It is the only FDA-approved injection for addressing excess fat on your chin and neck.
One advantage of Kybella is that it does not require incisions, which are necessary for traditional methods like liposuction. It also takes less time to complete, typically 20 to 30 minutes. The procedure does not cause scarring, which reduces side effects and downtime.
It can be ideal for anyone over 18 with moderate to severe fatty tissue on the neck and chin. It is an effective way for people with excess fatty tissue due to a genetic condition.
The procedure does not require anesthesia. Your provider will mark the target area before applying a numbing agent to your skin. It involves multiple injections to introduce deoxycholic acid, which dissolves the fatty tissue on the site.
Your body will eventually absorb the emulsified fat. It may take six weeks to notice results. Some patients may require multiple treatments. But the effects are long-term as no fatty tissue should reappear after treatment.
Rejuvenate your skin with intense pulsed light
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is another effective non-surgical treatment for skin rejuvenation. IPL can address issues with skin texture and pigmentation. It can remove damaged skin cells to cover scars on your face and body.
IPL employs an applicator to generate multiple wavelengths of light. The light can deliver thermal energy at precise locations on your neck, hands, or chest. The heat breaks down skin cells on sites with scars or issues with pigmentation. The body then absorbs and flushes out the damaged cells.
IPL can use a combination of wavelengths to treat multiple skin conditions simultaneously. Unlike laser, it can penetrate the deeper layer, but it does not injure the dermis or other tissues.
The IPL procedure can treat acne scars, birthmarks, and wrinkles. It makes your skin tone more consistent, leaving your skin looking brighter and younger.
SkinPen microneedling and PRP therapy
SkinPen micro-needling is a non-invasive procedure to address fine lines and skin inconsistencies. The process does not involve heat, incisions, or chemicals. The SkinPen device creates micro-injuries on the skin to induce the body’s natural healing process.
The device consists of minute needles that puncture the skin to a depth of 1mm. The process triggers the body to produce collagen. Collagen can stop and reverse the effects of aging.
Your dermatologist may use a combination of micro-needling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP introduces growth factors, which facilitate tissue repair and cell replication. PRP and microneedling can treat neck wrinkles, acne scars, and signs of aging.
