Wrinkles are a well-known sign of aging. Whether you call them wrinkles, crinkles, or laugh lines, About Face has options if you’re ready to return to firmer, more youthful skin.
The path to refreshed and rejuvenated skin can take you down many different directions, and you shouldn’t feel like you have to navigate your way through alone. At About Face, we are here to help you co-pilot and lead you to your desired “skin” destination.
If you’re looking for skin tightening results, maybe the right choice is a Sculptra, Morpheus8, or Thermage treatment in Philadelphia. Maybe it’s a combination of these, or maybe the best approach is something else entirely. We’re here to help achieve your desired results.
But first, how do fine lines and wrinkles form?
Goodbye Wrinkles, Crinkles, and Laugh Lines
Wrinkles result from a lack of collagen and elastin. These proteins provide the skin with structure and elasticity. As you age, collagen and elastin production in the skin slows and your skin structure starts to break down at an accelerated rate (especially in areas that move a lot, like around the mouth and eyes, etc.). The areas that perform the most repetitive motions (like smiling or frowning) will be the first areas to show signs of this depletion.
As a result, skin loses elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles appear, and skin texture and tone may deteriorate.
If you look in the mirror and wish you saw smoother, more vibrant skin in your reflection, About Face has non-surgical skin-tightening treatments designed to tackle your aesthetic concerns.
Thermage® FLX
Thermage® FLX is a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment. By sending powerful, yet carefully controlled Radiofrequency energy into the dermal layers, a Thermage treatment in Philadelphia heats water molecules found in collagen structures.
Controlled damage to skin cells stimulates the body’s healing response, promoting new collagen production to rebuild and rejuvenate your skin.
Thermage skin tightening results often appear 2 to 6 months after an appointment; skin can continue to improve for 1 to 2 years.
Who’s the ideal Thermage candidate?
Almost anyone can benefit from the collagen boosting effects of Thermage treatments in Philadelphia.
Patients seeking Thermage treatment in Philadelphia want to reduce fine lines and wrinkles through modest skin tightening. Some Thermage patients may have specific goals, like crow’s feet, sagging eyelids, or loose skin on the face and body, and some Thermage patients like to get treatments preventively to “bank” as much collagen as they can to stave off signs of aging.
Everyone likes instant gratification, but a Thermage treatment in Philadelphia requires time and patience for all of the magic to occur. As your collagen and elastin remodel and regenerate themselves, you’ll start to see subtle improvements daily over the course of the next 6 months.
Sculptra
An FDA-approved biostimulator, Sculptra uses a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) formula that stimulates collagen-producing cells.
Sculptra can reduce wrinkles and restore lost volume. Results may appear as early as 1 month post-treatment, and skin improvements can last for up to 2 years.
Who’s the ideal Sculptra candidate?
We recommend Sculptra for patients who have lost facial volume due to weight loss or aging. Most Sculptra patients are motivated to undergo this treatment after experiencing signs of volume loss such as sunken cheeks, jowling, hollow temples, and overall crepiness.
These patients want tangible results, and move forward with Sculptra because they prioritize natural-looking, full-face improvement that doesn’t have the cost, risk, nor downtime associated with surgery. Sculptra treatments offer a way to restore healthy, contoured skin, and treatment results last 2+ years. (To date, the studies have stopped at the 2-year mark, which means likely the results last longer than this, just no one has invested in organizing a longer-running study.)
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 combines RF technology with traditional microneedling. Microneedling “stamps” tiny needles into the skin, creating micro-injuries. These tiny injuries, combined with the radiofrequency energy simultaneously being delivered, forces your collagen-production into overdrive.
As a result, collagen and elastin production increase, improving texture and elasticity to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.
Who’s the ideal Morpheus8 candidate?
Morpheus8 works most effectively for patients concerned with skin texture, tone, and laxity. Patients commonly have fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, crepiness and large pores.
Morpheus8 patients love the natural, long-lasting results that this microneedling and radiofrequency treatment provides.
