Get Young Without Any Surgeries

By Sruthi Appu

Youthful Look
Women, worry about their skin more than anything. They crave to have that youthful, beautiful and flawless skin to their credit. And they end up in trying different cosmetic surgeries or skin enhancing treatments, to combat the ageing skin.

Scientists have come up with a new technique to fight ageing skin. They say that you can achieve a young look without undergoing any surgeries.

This new process will be carried out by tightening the skin and using skin fillers.

"Dermatologists no longer view the ageing face as specific wrinkles or folds, but instead look at the face as a whole with what can be imagined as soft tissue scaffolding below the skin surface that supports the deep underlying fat," said Dr. Marian E. Northington, from University of Alabama in Birmingham.

Northington will be using soft – tissue fillers to improve the loss of fat on cheeks. The nasolabial folds too will be smoothed.

"The more we learn about facial anatomy, particularly the different fat compartments of the cheek - or the superficial and deep areas of discrete fat extending toward the middle of the face - the greater precision we can bring to our ability to restore fullness, shape and contour the cheek and accomplish volumetric lifting," said Northington.

She also added that deeper and thicker fillers like, polylactic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, polymethyl methacrylate, and hyaluronic acid are suggested for rebuilding huge volume loss on cheeks.

She added, "In fact, volumetric enhancement using thicker, deeper fillers is fast becoming the primary cornerstone of our facial rejuvenation approach for those who seek a youthful look without major surgery."

Fractional skin treatment is good for enhancing your skin texture and tightening. The fractional RF device generates heat that is given to the inner layer of skin. This in turn helps the skin to rejuvenate.

The thermal energy will help the wound to heal and also new collagen will accumulate on your cheeks. As the wound heals the skin will tighten and the tissues will contract and give you a new young look.
