Skin Care - Collagen and Other Fillers
Virginia Center For Plastic Surgery in Alexandria, Virginia
As we age, Mother Nature tends to remind us that we have spent too much time in the sun and that gravity hasn't always been our friend. We laugh, smile, frown, squint and chew. Wrinkles and lines, sun damage, sagging muscles - all combine to give our faces that aged look. For many people, this is a look that is not very desirable.
That's where the skin care skills and experience of the Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery and Dr. Desman come in. By injecting collagen or other fillers in just the right places around your face, those signs of aging can be temporarily reversed. Since collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body anyway (found in joints, bones and ligaments), it will eventually metabolize into your system requiring new injections. So, the results are not as long lasting as cosmetic surgery. But for many, they are much preferred and more cost effective.
Dr. Desman also uses Restylane to smooth away wrinkles and lines on your face. Made in Sweden, Restylane is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts using a very fine needle. The results can be seen immediately. Restylane creates a long-lasting, natural look that is gentle and safe on your skin.
Probably the longest lasting filler available is Radiance. Radiance has the same mineral component as your bones and teeth - calcium - so it does not require a skin test prior to injection. Radiance is also gel based and the procedure only takes about 15 minutes. You'll see great results within approximately 24 hours and they can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years!
