How to Maintain the Results of Your Face or Brow Lift Procedure!

A face or brow lift turns back the clock by removing sagging skin to smooth and lift the features of your face. Following your procedure, you may wonder how to maintain your youthful appearance to maximize the long-term results of your cosmetic procedure. Vigilant skin care and the continued services of your cosmetic surgeon will ensure that your face and skin look their best for many years to come.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
After your surgery, laser skin treatments can be used to maintain the youthful look of your face. Laser treatments tighten facial skin and promote collagen production for firmer, plumper skin, particularly around the eyes and cheeks. Additionally, laser treatment addresses pigmented or vascular lesions, which cannot be corrected by a face lift, to enhance the results of your cosmetic surgery.

Daily Skin Care
Regular skin care keeps your skin looking young and fresh. Talk to your surgeon about the products that are best for you. Choose skin care products that promote even, toned skin and smooth out texture. Consider options that improve collagen production for firmer skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells and promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells to keep your face looking its best.

Additional Cosmetic Procedures
Over time, you may wish to undergo additional cosmetic surgery or other treatments. A secondary tuck or face lift can maintain or even improve the results of your initial procedure. Other treatments, such as Botox or dermal fillers, reduce signs of aging and fill in facial features to maintain the youthful look of your skin, even months or years after your face lift surgery.

Can Intense Pulsed Light Therapies Help You Achieve the Youthful Look You're After?

Intense pulsed light, also called IPL therapy, is a light-based skin treatment that targets signs of aging and skin damage to rejuvenate your complexion. During an IPL facial at the Center for Facial Appearances, a lamp is used to heat the deeper layers of the skin to remove pigmented or vascular lesions. This completely non-invasive treatment promotes the regeneration of tissues for a younger, clearer complexion with very little discomfort or downtime.

IPL Treats Discoloration
IPL treatment is ideal to address discolored areas of skin on the face. Age or sun spots, freckles, port wine stains, and melasma are all significantly improved after treatment with intense pulsed light. The heat delivered to the skin during therapy damages the melanin beneath your skin, which is responsible for these discolorations. As the pigment breaks up, it is pushed to the top layers of the skin and removed via scabbing or exfoliation over the course of the next one to two weeks. The result is clearer, more evenly toned skin for a younger-looking face, neck, and chest.

IPL Heals Broken Capillaries
Small veins beneath the surface of the face sometimes break and become visible due to hereditary factors, thinning skin, injury, alcohol consumption, or medical conditions such as rosacea. These unsightly lesions prematurely age the face and cause uneven, undesirable skin tone. IPL treatment damages the walls of these blood vessels, causing them to constrict and disappear from sight. Flushing from rosacea is often significantly improved following treatment as well. IPL treatments give you healthier, glowing skin and improve your overall complexion.

Myth vs. Fact: The Truth About Facial Fillers [INFOGRAPHIC]

Have you ever studied your facial creases in the mirror and wished for a non-surgical solution to get rid of them? There is!

More people are realizing the benefits of these non-invasive cosmetic solutions—including wrinkle correcting, jawline contouring, and lip and cheek plumping.
