Abstract
In this study, detailed prescription of all the available options for non-operative techniques of facial rejuvenation was done.
Discussion of the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy, physiology, histology of the skin and causes of skin aging was done to understand the process of skin aging thoroughly. Hence, proper prevention and management of the process of skin aging can be done.
History and updated management of the following were discussed: the effect of botulinum toxin as an agent for smoothing wrinkles is no longer debated which can be performed easily and rapidly, and is not unpleasant for the patient. The limited duration of its effects requires repeated sessions, which means that the patient will need a new appointment after about 6 months. Soft tissue fillers are an option for an individual desiring to rejuvenate his or her face, they may be synthetic, animal-derived, human-derived, or autologous-the latter harvested from the patient’s own vein or fat. The primary action of these products and techniques is to induce collagen formation and/or occupy volume and space. There are three methods available for cutaneous resurfacing; chemical, mechanical, and laser. Resurfacing is further divided into superficial, medium, or deep, based on the depth of injury produced. Surface irregularities of the skin and aging changes such as wrinkling can be ameliorated. All three techniques produce a controlled injury and this injury must be in the appropriate depth in order to treat the targeted pathology and achieve the desired results.
