Liquid Facelift

Dermal fillers have changed the way we look to solutions for volume loss and defining facial contours. We call this facial treatment the liquid facelift since we inject the cheeks to add shape to the face in the typical marked areas where you’re likely to see sagging. Using certain lifting techniques when injecting these fillers, Dr. Tsay often does not have to inject directly into those lines because the lifting effect will most of the time pull the face against gravity and smooth out those deep facial folds such as the nasolabial folds lower face jowelling.

When you start to discover the many types of dermal fillers used for a liquid facelift, you’ll see that their chemical composition what makes healthy last for years. Dr. Tsay uses Juvederm Voluma XC® and other hyaluronic acid fillers as well as Sculptra Cosmetic because the nourishment the formula provides for your skin is more than you’ll get from over-the-counter products. So dermal fillers are not just about adding volume, but they’re used to infiltrate the dermis and create long-lasting, youthful cells. These fillers can last 1-2 years after injection.

Neurotoxins

Injectables like Botox stop wrinkles from forming and provide hydration in addition to protein synthesis for durable skin. The sooner you start exploring the beauty of injectables, the longer you’ll be able to avoid surgical modification.

Vampire Facelift

Dr. Runels the inventor of the Vampire Facelift has shown to the world and the thousands of injectors that perform the Vampire Facelift that a combination of hyaluronic acid filler can serve as a base foundation for PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma to grow upon and stimulate your own body collagen. The combination of the two ingredients and placed in strategic locations on the face can give a pretty dramatic improvement and can delay a facelift procedure for years on end.

Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

Crow’s feet, laugh lines, and loose or sagging skin is now a thing of the past with radiofrequency skin tightening. This technology uses heat energy below the skin that radiates outward to cause muscle contraction and therefore produces tighter skin. Collagen fibers are recreated, and you’ll feel the difference as your tissues rebuild. Our patients love this treatment because it’s noninvasive and works all year long to give you a lifted look with reduced wrinkles. If you’re hoping to prolong healthy skin that looks young sand feels strong, radiofrequency is gentle and will touch up your look.

Fat dissolving injections.

The jowels, or the sagging skin and fat pocket that hangs from the lower part of the face, is a very common reason many people seek out a surgical facelift procedure. Sometimes simply dissolving the fat in the jowel area and combining it the the radiofrequency skin tightening procedure can give you a remarkable result without resorting to the knife. Same principle applies the the under chin fat or “double chin” phenomenon. Combining therapies such as fat dissolving injections and skin tightening can give you similar results as a surgical necklift depending on the severity.

Sun Protection All Day, Every Day

While a certain amount of sunshine is good to have you’ve got to protect yourself. Sun damage causes a chain of events in the skin such as over oxidization (free-radical production), protein damage and spotting. Everyone should wear sunscreen whenever they go outside and even REAPPLY at least 1-2 times during the day.
