How Medspa Treatments Can Delay Your Need for Facial Surgery

Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land? Don’t we all want to look great? Yes, we all do. As we age, we change and those changes can be unwelcome. If you find yourself wanting to reverse the effects of aging, but aren't prepared for a surgical procedure, then GLOW Medical Spa has the solution for you—a non-surgical facelift. Gravity, sun exposure, and stress affect your face on a daily basis. As the tightness and firmness of your youth ultimately begin to deteriorate, signs of aging can become noticeable in the form of a drooping jawline, forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, laugh lines, and sunken cheeks. Luckily, the professionals at GLOW Medical Spa have many ways to combat these aesthetic changes.

Injectables

Using fillers or other injectable treatments such as Botox represent a way to fill in the areas in your face that have lost fullness over time. Dermal fillers are used to add volume to lips, smooth wrinkles and fill lines, and can be used in a large variety of places on your body. Botox is a neuromodulator that is administered typically on the forehead or between the eyebrows. Click here to learn more about our injectable procedures.

Maybe needles are even too close to surgery for your taste. If so, GLOW Medical Spa has other non-surgical methods that can provide you with a more youthful appearance.

Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing or “tightening” procedures can provide similar results to injections and be done with lasers or ultrasound technology. Chemical peels also can resurface and tighten the skin. Resurfacing techniques can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pores, creating skin that is healthier, younger-looking, and glowing.

Non-surgical skin tightening procedures can tighten the skin up to 30 percent and can be performed in two ways: more intensive, “one and done” procedures, or smaller treatments that entail multiple applications. If you get one larger treatment, it usually costs more money up front. That one treatment can cause more discomfort, but it's the most likely to leave a noticeable result. If you choose the smaller multi-treatment option, each treatment may cost less, while adding up to a more expensive total. These smaller treatments should be much more comfortable but will produce a less dramatic degree of change. Our doctors at GLOW have so many options because we want to provide you with the most comfortable options for you.
