non surgical options
Hello doctor, I would like to know, are there non-surgical alternatives or complementary therapies that could be considered before opting for plastic reconstructive surgery? for example facial abnormality due to aging.

Answer:

Hi Mr. Basha,

For facial rejuvenation in the aging population, there are several non-surgical treatments that are available:-

1. Laser treatment - as we age changes occur due to chronic exposure from the sun which causes pigmentation and changes in the texture of the skin which can be improved by fractional CO2 lasers like the eco2 laser for skin texture improvement and PICO laser for pigmentations issues.

2. In addition to treating the external skin, volume loss and bone loss also need treatment and this can be done with fillers such as hyaluronic acid and bio stimulators .

3. Finally to tighten the skin / non surgical facelift . Radio frequency micro needling can be used to tighten the skin.

4. Exercise and diet and adequate sleep is also important for healthy skin.

Thank you.
