Treatments that Can be Combined with Skin Rejuvenation

Skin rejuvenation is a procedure in which a patient will be able to change the appearance of the skin. While a patient might not have a clear idea of the end results he or she might want, the skin rejuvenation procedure can help to improve their appearance in many ways.  Alone, skin rejuvenation helps a patient uncover younger, fresher skin, but with other procedures, they may be able to completely change the appearance of their face. Skin rejuvenation alone can include anything from dermabrasion to injections and fillers, but other cosmetic procedures can be done as well.

Face Lift

For those patients who want to see a dramatic change in their skin's appearance, having a face lift as well as skin rejuvenation can be the best possible combination. These two procedures will pull the skin into a tighter shape, while then smoothing out the skin's surface and removing any scars or age spots. Often, these two treatments can be done at the same time, while other cosmetic surgeons prefer to do these therapies separately, in stages. The results of a face lift and skin rejuvenation are remarkable and noticeable. Some patients find that waiting to see the results of the face lift first is ideal before proceeding with other treatments. Often, the pulling back of the skin during a face lift can be enough to create the smooth appearance a patient desires.

Chin and Cheek Implants

If the structure of the face needs to be changed, adding chin and cheek implants to the skin rejuvenation treatment will help a patient get the results they desire. The implants are inserted into the skin during one procedure, then the skin may be allowed to heal completely before a series of skin rejuvenation procedures take place. In doing so, the patient will be able to see the shape and the texture of the skin change, which helps them to completely renew the appearance of the skin at any age. Adding in injections and other skin rejuvenation procedures will also help the implants look more pronounced on the face, giving the patient a stronger bone structure.

Brow and Eyelid Lift

When a more subtle approach is desired, instead of a full face lift, a patient can opt for skin rejuvenation after a brow and eyelid lift. This will help the patient appear more awake and refreshed, without being too dramatic. Often, these procedures can be done over the course of a weekend, helping a patient miss as little of life and of work as possible. The lifts will need to be done before the skin rejuvenation, to ensure the skin is healed before adding more stress after the surgeries. Doing all of the procedures at once can be too stressful on the skin of some patients.

Skin rejuvenation options can enhance the skin's appearance, while the other cosmetic procedures can alter the shape of the face permanently. Combining the two procedures can help a patient restore the look of their skin, no matter their age.
