Non-surgical face lift in San Francisco with dermafillers

View our Before and After Photos

The 20 Minute San Francisco Facial Rejuvenation

As we age, we lose volume in the cheeks and mid-face area. Collagen and elastin in the tissues underlying our skin gradually break down, allowing wrinkles to form and, eventually, causing the sunken, gaunt look we associate with old age.

Until recently, there were only two treatments available. The most well known is the surgical facelift. Today's modern facelifts involve surprisingly little pain and recovery time is relatively short, but they're not the answer for everyone.

Cheek implants are another option for cases of severe volume loss. Implants can restore plump, healthy cheeks and help support mid-facial skin, but they're also not right for everyone. They require anesthesia, time off work, and a few weeks for facial swelling to disappear completely. In addition, surgeons have little fine control over implants. Once in place, there's minimal opportunity for adjustment.

Non-Surgical Options: Radiesse®, Juvéderm™, and Restylane® in San Francisco

Dermafillers, like Radiesse, Juvéderm, and Restylane, are popular in San Francisco for facial rejuvenation for good reason. They are very effective in enhancing the cheek bones and replacing the firm foundation that once supported skin to lie flat and smooth.

Unlike cheek implants, dermafillers are easy for the surgeon to control. They can be introduced under the skin slowly and precisely, allowing the doctor and patient to review progress during treatment. Fillers can augment the cheekbones, giving patients the coveted "chiseled" look, and they can be injected into the soft tissue of the cheeks to erase an old, gaunt appearance. They last from a few to several months, gradually and harmlessly absorbed by the body.

Have your dermafillers performed by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon

As the dermafillers become more advanced, they are playing a more important role in treatment of the aging face. With more areas of application (tear-trough areas under the eyes, and volume replacement in the cheeks) the required skill level of the practitioner has also increased. Dr. Mabrie uses no mid-level technicians and instead performs all anti-aging treatments (BOTOX® Cosmetic, Restylane, Radiesse, Juvéderm) himself ensuring consistent results and expert care.
