28 - What options do I have? Mini facelift? (Photo)

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. It sounds like you’re feeling frustrated with the changes in your appearance and are looking for ways to rejuvenate your look without committing to ongoing treatments or more invasive procedures. Here are some options and approaches to consider:

1. Skincare Routine
A solid skincare routine can make a significant difference. Look for products that address hydration, firmness, and brightness:
-Hyaluronic Acid: Helps with hydration and plumping.
-Retinoids: Can improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production.
-Vitamin C: Brightens the complexion and helps with pigmentation.
-Peptides: Support skin elasticity and firmness.

2. Lifestyle Changes
-Diet: Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats can improve skin health.
-Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
-Sleep: Ensure you’re getting enough quality sleep to help your skin repair and rejuvenate.
-Stress Management: Chronic stress can impact your skin. Practices like meditation, yoga, or even therapy might be beneficial.

3. Non-Invasive Treatments
If you want to avoid regular procedures, consider treatments that might offer longer-lasting results without the need for frequent maintenance:
-Laser Treatments: Fractional lasers or non-ablative lasers can improve skin texture and stimulate collagen.
-Radiofrequency (RF): RF treatments can help with skin tightening and improve overall firmness.
-Microneedling: Can improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production.

Remember, the goal is to feel confident and happy with yourself, regardless of the changes you’re seeing. Combining skincare, healthy habits, and occasional professional treatments can offer a balanced approach to achieving your desired look. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Yes we can plump up your face and reshape it so that you don't have such a 'long' face, with fat grafting. This will add volume to your cheek and undereyes, which is making you look tired. Radiofrequency microneedling is used to treat acne scar but will also tighten the skin slightly. The combination of the above will reshape your face to make you look your age.
