The 6-Step Facial Rejuvenation Program®
Most of the visible signs of facial aging are caused by loss of collagen in your skin. As we age the collagen in our facial skin is damaged by inflammation from the UV radiation of the sun, environmental toxins, free radicals from an unhealthy diet and lifestyle, and genetic programming. Brown spots or pigment and red spots or blood vessels on your face are a sign of inflammation of your facial skin from both environmental factors like the sun and internal inflammatory processes.
The goal of the 6-step non-surgical facial rejuvenation program® is to stimulate the growth of and replace collagen into the deeper layers of your skin called the dermis. (Contact Dr Seckel)
Facial aging changes such as facial skin wrinkles, loose skin, deep facial lines like the marionette lines, nasal labial fold lines and lip lines all are primarily the result of loss of collagen in the dermis of the facial skin.
Most important to your success in the 6-step program is a healthy lifestyle: low fat anti-inflammatory diet, avoid tobacco and alcohol, drink plenty of water, exercise, take anti-oxidant vitamins, and wear your sunscreen. Prevention is key to effective skin rejuvenation!
The 6-step Non-surgical Facial Rejuvenation Program® is best applied in a proper sequence to optimize your result. Below are the 6 steps, a discussion of why all 6 steps are necessary and how I achieve them:
1. Exfoliation-this step removes dead skin and starts the production of new collagen- this is the key first step in non-surgical facial skin rejuvenation and helps restore fresh skin and remove fine wrinkles-methods are Retin A, microdermabrasion, ActiveFX Laser Peel, and Microlaserpeel.
2. Stimulation of new collagen production- this step plumps up wrinkles and restores skin texture and elasticity- methods Retin A, Laser treatments, IPL and Photo facial treatments.
3. Removal of pigment and blood vessels- this step removes brown spots and red spots, classic signs of inflammatory facial skin aging and sun damage – methods- Topical creams, Photo facial (IPL) and lasers
4. Relax facial muscles- this step removes crow’s feet, frown lines, lip lines and worry lines-method-Botox®
5. Fill deep facial lines this step plumps lip lines and the deep lines around the mouth, the nasal labial folds and Marionette lines-method- Injectable fillers Restylane®, Juvaderm® and Radiesse®
6. Tighten Facial Skin – tightens the sagging skin you see in your face, cheek sagging, jowls, turkey neck – methods – LuxIR®, Aluma with FACES®, Titan®, Thermage® and Refirme®. These technologies are new and at best in my experience achieve about 20% of the tightening seen with a face lift. The face lift is the gold standard for facial skin tightening.
