A4M: Learn About Botox, Fillers, and Other Aesthetic In-office Procedures

Summary: The facial appearance is central to human interpersonal perception and very often a testimonial of our aging process. Facial skin aging has been classically divided by biological aging (intrinsic aging) and extrinsic aging factors such as sun and environmental exposure. The clinical translation of that process is laxity, deepness of the expression lines, dryness and flattening of the dermal-epidermal interface with significant changes in the color, texture and overall quality of the skin. The face-lift of the 21st century is going in the "surgery-less" direction. These quite affordable procedures offer good results, no stitches and cuts, and no downtime, allowing the patient to resume normal activities immediately. And unlike traditional surgical face-lifts, the new lift is reversible.
