Guide to Choosing the Best Facial Rejuvenation Procedures for You

What if your best friend challenges you to take the mirror test with her. You’ve probably never heard of this test, but it’s actually quite simple and perhaps similar to something you do every day – stand in front of a mirror in a well-lit room and truly look at your face.

As you stand in front of the mirror, you might start wondering how age and gravity could have changed your appearance so much. Ask yourself what bothers you and what you would like to change, especially when considering all the online video meetings you appear in these days. You also may be wondering how the age-related changes you see could affect both your professional and personal life.  

Are your brows or eyelids low, hollow, or drooping? Do you have jowls? Are your lips thinning with wrinkles? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, perhaps it’s time to consider a surgical facial rejuvenation from Dr. Stephen Bresnick in Encino, CA.

For Signs of Early Facial Aging

Facial aging is different for everyone, and with Dr. Bresnick’s help, you’ll be able to determine which treatments are best for you. For mild to moderate facial wrinkles and lines, the loss of facial fat, and the start of relaxation of facial skin, responds to a wide array of non-surgical injectable treatments provided by SILK Medical Spa (overseen by Dr. Bresnick) from which to choose.

  • Neuromodulator injections, including Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify, smooth the lines and creases caused by facial muscle contractions. These treatments, as for other injectables, need to be repeated over time for long-term results.
  • Injectable dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm and Restylane fillers, can soften facial lines and wrinkles to make them much less noticeable. Fillers can also add volume to areas that are starting to thin, such as the cheeks and lips. Treatments are typically quick and easy to administer, with little to no downtime.

Facial lines and wrinkles can also be smoothed with non-surgical skin-tightening and rejuvenating treatments while at the same time firming loose skin, restoring a brighter, younger, and more vibrant complexion. These treatments include:

  • TCA Peel, depigmentation peel, and hydrafacial treatments restore a more youthful look to facial skin by stimulating collagen production. They accelerate the growth of new, more elastic, and evenly toned skin for a more youthful look.
  • Microneedling creates thousands of tiny micro-perforations with a hand-held device. In a healing response, the procedure firms, tightens, smoothes, and softens fine lines and wrinkles. At the same time, it also shrinks enlarged pores. We offer microneedling platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, as well as with radiofrequency treatment for outstanding results.
  • Laser treatments improve skin tone, pigmentation issues and wrinkles. These changes can be the result of sun damage or just the aging process.    Skin resurfacing can leave facial skin that is refreshed, brighter, smoother, and more vibrant.

For More Advanced Signs of Facial Aging

All of the non-surgical treatments work well for mild to moderate facial lines and wrinkles. For more advanced wrinkles, facial lines, and loosening skin, you may need to consider more invasive surgical treatment for more effective and long-lasting facial rejuvenation.

  • A facelift and neck lift removes excess skin while also tightening underlying muscles and ligaments, resulting in improvements to the lower part of your face. During the procedure, drooping jowls can be removed or tightened, giving you a neck and jawline like you had when you were younger.
  • Eyelid lift surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, lifts eyelids that have drooped with age and can fill in hollowed areas below the eyes.
