Facelift Necklift Procedures Walnut Creek California
One of the hallmarks of aging is an aging neck and of course that brings us to face and neck lift procedures. There is now a trend in plastic surgery to move towards minimally invasive procedures. Some of them we’ve talked about such as skin fillers and injectables in order to improve the signs of aging of the face. The other ones are more surgical, things such as mini face lift or thread lift that we hear about now. A minimally invasive procedure is good for people who are good candidates for it but there are people who are not a good candidate for minimally invasive and that’s where the face and neck lift comes in. The goal of a face and neck lift is to remove the excess skin from the face and the neck area, and to tighten the underlying muscles of facial movement, and also to put the fat pads back where they were before they started sagging so the right parts of the face have their natural youthful appearance.
Thermage Non-Invasive Skin Treatments East Bay CA
One of the more exciting things that’s come along in non-surgical is, tightening of the skin, Thermage or ThermaCool, as the trademark is. Thermage uses radio frequency waves to affect the deeper skin and cause it to contract without damaging the more superficial skin. What this means is that as the outer skin is being cooled by the treatment tip the deeper skin is treated with the radio frequency waves, starting a process in which the skin starts tightening over the next six to eight months. Effectively this means that the patient can have the procedure and go to work the next day without any untoward effects from the procedure.
BOTOX Cosmetic Fillers San Francisco East Bay California
I’m often asked what the difference between BOTOX and other soft tissue fillers is. BOTOX works on dynamic wrinkle production, meaning that muscles that contract and produce wrinkles in the face. BOTOX paralyzes these muscles locally without spreading around the body and smoothes out the area that the muscles are causing to wrinkle. Soft tissue filler simply fills a line that’s there but it does not stop the muscles from producing the line. Usually a combination of the two can be extremely effective for certain areas.

I started my own practice in the year of 2002 and also teach at the University of California at San Francisco.
