INSIGHT

Body-Driven Skin Rejuvenation

  • Biorejuvenation turns on the body's own healing to sustain collagen like a younger person.
  • Dr. Kay Durairaj highlights biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse, polynucleotides) and fat-regrowth techniques as game-changers.
ADVICE

When To Pick Surgery Over Noninvasive Care

  • Do choose surgery when you have true excess skin or tissue you can pinch (about >1 cm) that won’t improve with creams or needling.
  • Avoid filler as a substitute when skin must be trimmed or tightened surgically.
ADVICE

Space Facelifts For Longevity

  • Space facelifts wisely because a well-done facelift typically lasts about ten years and may require one or two in a lifetime.
  • Avoid early facelifts in your late 30s; Dr. Kay recommends waiting until around age 50 for better timing.
