These days, it seems even Hollywood is moving away from cosmetic surgery and turning to cosmetic dermatology for a less invasive approach to skin rejuvenation. A combination of various treatments known as Comprehensive Therapy or Polytherapy can give people the look they want for less money, less pain, less planning and no downtime.

While the list of options isnt as complicated as a fruit juice bar, it does take a knowledgeable, experienced and skilled dermatologist to know the right combination of treatments for a patients condition and desired results.

Face it (no pun intended),when it comes to skin rejuvenation, the stretched look is out. People are starting to realize that unfortunately, facelifts may not even ultimately get rid of the folds that were provided the impetus for the surgery in the first place. Most people can’t afford to set aside the recovery time, and no one wants to risk a poor outcome that would be permanent.

Thanks to the incredible advancement in lasers and other treatment options, medical dermatologists are able to combine methods to create the look that patients are seeking. Additionally, since polytherapy may give longer lasting effects, patients may not need to come in to the office as frequently as before. These procedures have very few associated risks, so making the decision to go ahead requires a minimal amount of deliberation.

For example, the skin can be tightened and noticeably rejuvenated without pulling or cutting by using Genesis Plus, a combination of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and Nd:YAG laser. The IPL treats the surface of the skin by correcting tone and evening pigmentation, while the YAG stimulates collagen for new growth. These two combined treatments help greatly to eliminate wrinkles and scars while making the skin tighter overall. A little Restylane for fine lines and around the eyes, a bit of Botox, and patients look young, and most importantly, natural.

Advances in Polytherapy have opened up endless possibilities for cosmetic dermatologists. The newest and most exciting rejuvenation technique is known as PDT (photodynamic therapy). PDT is designed to achieve similar results to laser resurfacing but without the associated risks. a light sensitizing substance is applied to the skin, and then a laser or light source is passed over the areas to be treated.

Comprehensive therapy not only gives superior results but it can also prolong the effects of treatment. For example, using Botox or a filler substance alone may produce effects that last only three months. However, using the two together, in the frown lines for example, may sustain the effects for up to eight months!

Its rare that one type of treatment will produce the desired effect on its own. Thats why theres a trend toward polytherapy. However, only an experienced physician understands how to combine treatments to get the best results, and the importance of keeping abreast and offering the latest technology available.

They say that proper diet and avoiding exposure to the sun and harsh wind prevents these tiny creases that appear on our face. Wrinkles go with age. But there are still more ways on how to erase these lines, that try to cover our natural beauty. Sunscreen lotions could help, but it isn’t just enough.

Others would try natural remedies like castor oil, applying it on their skin. A few might resort to facial exercise. Healthy skin renews itself every 30 days when under proper care which means living a healthy life, without vices, getting plenty of sleep, drinking the required number of glasses of water and eating the right kind of food.

But when all efforts are futile, we end up with the same old wrinkles. We seem to lose our self-confidence and feel insecure when our skin loses its elasticity, causing it to fold. And worse, we feel that we become unattractive.

When all of these remedies, seem to fail, some men ands most women opt for a facelift. A facelift is a kind of cosmetic surgery which aims to remove the age spots. The procedure involves the firming of tissues under the skin and is done thru surgery. For those who have fears of going under the knife, a non-surgical facelift is recommended.

Non surgical facelift is treating the aged skin without undergoing an operation. This procedure can solve your face problem and can cost you a handsome amount of money. It may be expensive, but it may be the best for you.

Non surgical facelift uses laser technology making it painless. The infrared increases collagen production while repairing damaged cells. What is amazing is the reaction to the inner layer of the skin, when it is tightened by this treatment.

One form of non-surgical facelift is botox injection. Results, which last from 3 to 4 months, stops the muscle contraction on the face which is cause the skin to stretch, thus getting rid of wrinkles.

This kind of treatment for wrinkles does not discolor the skin. It brings back the glow resulting to a younger-looking you. Although this may not last forever, non surgical facelift lifts your self-esteem.

No blood, No pain. This is the promise of a non surgical facelift. In some cases, anesthesia is used, but a patient can go back to work right after treatment.

There are different effects on each skin type. It is advisable then to go to a profesional dermatologist, especially one that has been referred to you.

Whether your non surgical facelift is a chemical peel, laser resurfacing or even the use of herbal supplements or various creams, they all aim for a more youthful you.
