Ask the Doc:
Q: Are there any options besides surgery to make me look younger?
 A: Yes! If you are afraid of surgery or are just not ready, there are many options to consider to slow visible aging.
Skin Care:
First among the non invasive options is the participation in a good skin care program to control skin texture whether acne changes or environmental damage from sun exposure and genetics. This is a feel good process that requires participation in an office and home care regimen to maximize results. Our licensed aestheticians are happy to work with you to develop a customized skin care program just for your special needs.
Botox:
If your desires for improvement include decreasing lines of facial expression such as frown lines and crows feet then Botox is your answer. Treatments are quick and easy and can be performed by our nurse practitioner, Kelly, at our Accent on Skin spa office in Latham or by any of our 3 Plastic Surgeons at our Schenectady office. Botox can be a very quick "pick me up" for aging changes around the eyes and brow.
Fillers:
The use of fillers has become very popular. They are especially useful for patients not yet ready for a facelift or to enhance the results of facelift or lid surgery. Filler treatments are often combined with Botox treatments, and surgeries. There are 2 popular categories of fillers, those that bind water and plump up lines or creases, and the stimulants that produce collagen to increase soft tissue volume. Both are very effective, nicely tolerated and can last up to a year.
These non invasive approaches have become increasingly popular with high satisfaction, minimal risk and minimal downtime are important considerations today when time away from work may be limited.
