Episode notes
Lasers Kill Skin Cells Insight
- Traditional lasers and devices often kill skin cells by "cooking" the skin and collagen.
- We are now moving into bioregenerative medicine that heals rather than destroys skin tissue.
Deep Plane Facelift Benefits
- Minimally invasive facelifts focus on doing work under the muscle with less skin separation.
- Less skin separation leads to faster recovery and more natural results, sometimes "restaurant ready" in two weeks.
Be Careful with Fillers
- Poorly placed fillers complicate future facelifts and facial appearance.
- Proper timing and placement are crucial; fillers can last decades if not dissolved properly.
