The demand for facial cosmetic services has skyrocketed. The ideal outcome of a medical aesthetics procedure is to keep your friends and coworkers guessing what's changed about you and why you seem refreshed and more youthful without a dramatic alteration that makes people wonder if you've had surgery. Most importantly, these medical aesthetics procedures do not require anesthetic, downtime, or severe discomfort.

Our facial esthetics expert at Koski Depaul Dental Group can address even the most complex aesthetic modifications. Wrinkles can be easily minimized, and living with spider veins or birthmarks can be eliminated. 

What Causes the Signs of Aging?

Stress, sun exposure, and diet begin to impact our looks as we age. Skin loses firmness and suppleness as the body's natural supply of collagen and elastin diminishes. Hyaluronic acid production, the chemical that helps skin retain moisture, is also decreasing, leading the skin to grow drier and lose its young shine. Facial aesthetic treatments assist in boosting these components to reverse the effects of aging.

What Does Facial Aesthetics Involve?

Wrinkle Reduction

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a natural substance generated from a microorganism that relaxes muscles and lowers the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, such as frown lines between the eyes, crow's feet, and forehead lines.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a safe and natural cosmetic treatment that can restore volume and fullness to the skin and improve its appearance. This is best for deeper wrinkles and lines. Fillers can also make facial features like the lips and cheeks appear larger by improving their definition.

Automated Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy (PCI)

PCI, also known as microneedling, is a treatment in which small, sterile needles perforate the skin's top and mid-layers, creating micro-trauma. The needle prick wounds encourage skin cells to produce new collagen and skin cells, resulting in a healing process. The results are instantaneous and natural; two or three sessions are usually required to obtain the desired outcome.

Platelet-Rich Concentrate (PRC)

PRC is a natural healing serum found in human blood. We can use PRC isolated from our blood to encourage skin cells to create collagen and elastin, resulting in more youthful skin.

Combining PCI and PRC therapy works effectively, and because these treatments are non-invasive and natural, there is no chance of an allergic reaction to man-made medications. However, these treatments require a series of sessions over several weeks.
