Facial Rejuvenation & Non-Invasive Facial Rejuvenation

Published on September 22, 2015

Every day our skin is berated by the elements, is damaged by dryness, and is prematurely aged by the sun. Unfortunately our skin is not only our first line of defense for our body, but it is also what helps identify and characterize us. It’s what helps people see if we look tired, helps us look young and refreshed when it’s glowing and bright, and what helps mark the passage of time when pesky wrinkles and crow’s feet begin appearing.

For some, crow’s feet, age spots, and wrinkles are natural – something that appeared after many years of life; however for others, they may see these natural signs of aging far sooner than expected. For patients as young as their twenties, signs of aging mar the skin and cause serious distress. It can make some look decades older than they truly are, and the main culprit for 90% of this premature skin aging is thanks to the sun. Fortunately, there are a myriad of treatments that can help reduce the damage the sun has done, rejuvenate the face, and restore the natural beauty to a person’s skin without them undergoing extensive and invasive procedures!

Top Non Invasive Facial Rejuvenation Procedures

Here at our clinic in Houston Texas, we offer several of the top rated facial rejuvenation procedures. These are each administered by a highly trained medical professional, Dr. Mirwat S.Sami, who has the extensive experience and education needed to carry out the procedure, answer any questions you may have, and instruct you on any after care (if it’s necessary).

Below is a brief explanation of some of the non-invasive facial rejuvenation procedures offered here:

Botox

Botox is a wildly popular cosmetic procedure both here in Houston TX and around the world. Millions of patients receive botox injections to help reduce the signs of aging and restore the young rejuvenated appearance they once had.

Botox is essentially the injection of a toxin into certain targeted areas of muscle. The toxin will temporarily paralyze the muscle, preventing it from moving. In many cases, the muscles around the eyebrows and forehead are targeted to reduce the constant “frown” and subsequent crease in the brow.

What are the pros and cons of botox?

Despite how scary it may initially sound, botox is quite a safe procedure when carried out by a trained professional. The benefits of botox are that it is a simple and immediately effective procedure that can be done even during a lunch break! Additionally, it is quite cost effective in comparison to many of the other treatment options and some patients find that after repeat treatments, the effects last longer!

Unfortunately botox is not permanent. Most effects wear off between three and six months, requiring repeat visits.

How much do botox treatments generally cost?

Botox treatments can vary greatly in cost depending on many factors including: the number of areas injected, the injector, the qualifications of the clinic, the geographical area, and the number of injections you’re paying for overall. On average, however, you’ll find that a “flat rate” option will be priced between $300-$1000, while a single treatment area will cost around $400.

Laser Treatments

Laser skin therapy treatments are miraculous in the fact that they work very fast and effectively on a range of skin problems. For those with dark spots and age marks, a light laser treatment can dramatically reduce the appearance. For those who have wrinkles and deep lines they wish to remove, a non-ablative laser will help by thickening collagen and improving the elasticity of the skin.

This treatment works by applying targeted light to a certain area of the skin. For skin dark spots, light laser treatment will heat up the excess melanin in the skin (which causes the dark marks), and destroys it. Once the melanin is broken up, it is removed naturally by the body and new skin cells take its place.

What are the pros and cons of laser treatments?

Laser treatments are great for those who are averse to needles, and who want natural and beautiful skin. They work very effectively on age spots, however the light laser treatment is not able to treat those with dark skin (either natural or obtained through tanning) because there will be too much melanin in the surrounding areas for a laser to be safely used. Additionally, slight swelling may be apparent after the treatment, however if this happens a steroid is often prescribed to manage the swelling.

How much do laser treatments cost?

Laser treatments cost anywhere from $500-$3000. The cost depends on the surface of area being treated, the number of treatments in total, and the type of treatment being done.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are very luxurious and satisfying treatments that both relax and rejuvenate patients. During a chemical peel application, certain chemicals are mixed by a trained professional into a paste before applying it onto the selected area (usually the face). It is left there for a preset time before it is then removed.

The purpose of these chemical peels is to remove the top layer of skin cells and encourage new cell growth.

What are the pros and cons of chemical peels?

Chemical peels are some of the least expensive options for facial rejuvenation. They are perfect for reducing scarring, skin discolorations, acne, freckles, age spots, and more. Additionally, there are several types of peels to choose from depending on your needs.

Unfortunately those with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or even wounds should avoid a skin peel as it can worsen the inflammation. Additionally, those with highly sensitive skin need to be very careful with skin peels as they can cause irritation.

How much do skin peels cost?

Costs will range anywhere between $50-$500 generally for a chemical peel. The type of peel will dramatically affect the cost so make sure to consult one of the professionals at our clinic to see which one best works for your needs.
