Many people would like to look younger but few people can find the time, given our busy, fast-paced, and highly active lifestyles, to take days off to recover from an extensive surgical procedure.\u00a0 Fortunately, I offer a wide array of non-surgical facial rejuvenation<\/a> options that require minimal downtime and can provide subtle and elegant changes perfect for those not quite ready for the more comprehensive changes that full surgery may entail.\u00a0 In fact, given so many different options, it may be difficult to determine which is best suited to your needs.\u00a0 So here is a comparison of the most popular facial rejuvenation treatments to help you determine exactly which one is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How long does it take?<\/td>\nA typical session is 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.\u00a0 However, full results may require multiple sessions for some conditions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
What\u2019s the downtime?<\/td>\nMinor swelling can be expected as well as a\u00a0mild itching\u00a0or burning sensation over the next few days.\u00a0 Skin may become dry and begin to peel during the healing process which can last for several days.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
How long do the effects last?<\/td>\nAfter the procedure, the amount of time it takes for the new skin to show signs of damage or age depends on the patient\u2019s long term care and maintenance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
