Which face procedure is right for me?

April 30, 2020 by Hillelson-Whipple Clinic

Face Procedure

When the time comes to decide on whether or not to undergo a face procedure, the decision may be complicated. There are many options from which to choose. A qualified and professional plastic surgeon can lay out options for every goal and budget. At Hillelson-Whipple, we offer the highest-quality and most advanced face procedure options for our patients. Our cosmetic procedures are physician-administered and designed to restore a more naturally youthful appearance.

Skin Tightening

We offer a wide variety of skin tightening procedures that are noninvasive. These are options that do not require surgery but will reduce wrinkles and provide a lift to the brows, cheeks, and jawline. You will also typically also see smoother forehead creases, reduction of jowls, less noticeable crows feet, and improvement in acne scars. We have several techniques that provide similar skin tightening results. Thermage is one option that can be used on all areas of the face and neck. It is done so with a concentrated radio frequency that evenly warms the skin. This is a great choice for those interested in focusing on hard-to-treat areas like the neck and eyelids. Ideal candidates for skin tightening procedures are those seeking to improve skin elasticity and reverse early signs of aging. These patients must also be in overall good health. A consultation is the best way to determine which skin tightening procedure is right for your skin and desired results.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Laser skin rejuvenation, also known as laser resurfacing, is a popular noninvasive method used to smooth and brighten the skin. Our clinic offers two types of laser resurfacing: PicoSure Laser Skin Rejuvenation and BBL treatments. These options are great for anyone looking to correct sun damage and early signs of aging. Patients must also be in good health. PicoSure is one of the most advanced laser options available for skin rejuvenation. It offers short bursts of energy that treat a wide variety of skin issues. Similarly, Forever Young BBL is available as part of the Sciton JOULE laser system. This option is a light therapy that reduces the signs of aging, redness, and small facial veins. It can also be used to reduce unwanted hair. We suggest booking a consultation with one of our doctors to discuss your goals prior to choosing the best laser skin rejuvenation option for your needs.

Botox and Fillers

Some of the most popular procedures for the face are botox and similar fillers. Botox is a quick in-office injectable that helps to decrease the appearance of lines. This is also a good option for those with a low pain tolerance, as the Botulinum Toxin is not considered painful. We also have Juvederm, Restylane, belotero, and kybella fillers. These options require no downtime and the results often appear immediately and can last from months to over a year. These procedures are also some of the most affordable.
