What is Facial rejuvenation?

is the term used to encompass all forms of restoring a youthful appearance to the face. It includes the broad categories of:Injectables (Botox& fillers) . Resurfacing procedures (laser treatment, microdermabrasion & chemical peels); Surgical rejuvenation (brow lifts, eyelid surgery; facelifts, nose jobs, face and chin augmentation, and neck lifts); Topical tretinoin and tazarotene, which reverse sun damage and enhance collagen production. The normal changes associated with facial aging are the result of both: intrinsic (age related fat and bone loss known as atrophy, and skin laxity) extrinsic factors (like ultraviolet light / sunlight, chemicals, and smoking).
These factors contribute to biological changes associated with age and create predictable patterns of facial change. An over-simplistic analogy is mimicked by the changes in the helium balloon your child wouldn't let you throw away. With time there is loss of internal volume and as a result the covering loses its taught shape, luster, and becomes wrinkled. Moreover, there is a marked change in shape of the entire structure. Naturally, similar changes on your face can be highly distressing especially since many available treatments are being promoted.
