Injectables and Lasers – Non Surgical Treatments
Non-surgical treatments are ideal for patients who do not yet need facial plastic surgery but wish to reduce wrinkles, improve their skin tone and restore volume to sunken or deflated areas of their face. These procedures can also be used to provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation in combination with facelift and eyelid surgery.
Botox Cosmetic
Houston Botox specialist Dr. Bob Basu strategically injects the popular wrinkle-relaxer to reduce forehead creases, frown lines and crow’s feet in men and women who want to diminish facial lines and prevent permanent wrinkles from forming. Botox Cosmetic is often used in combination with injectable fillers like Juvederm and Restylane to provide more complete wrinkle correction and facial rejuvenation.
Juvederm
Many Houston Juvederm patients want treatment with the injectable soft tissue filler to correct wrinkles and enhance the lips and cheeks. Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid gel and provides temporary facial rejuvenation until the product is naturally reabsorbed by the body.
Restylane
Like Juvederm, Restylane is an injectable hyaluronic acid filler used to temporarily restore volume to areas of the face that have become creased or deflated over time. Lip augmentation, wrinkle reduction and even hand rejuvenation are some of the many procedures Houston Restylane patients seek at Basu Plastic Surgery.
Lip Enhancement
Injectable products such as collagen, natural fat, and hyaluronic acid can be used to augment the size and shape of your lips. Wrinkle fillers like Juvederm and Restylane have become popular for lip-plumping, and fat grafting can offer long-term lip enhancement.
Radiesse
Radiesse is an injectable filler that offers long-lasting wrinkle reduction and soft tissue augmentation results. Unlike Restylane and Juvederm, Radiesse should not be used for lip enhancement, however Radiesse is ideal for wrinkle correction, chin and cheek augmentation and hand rejuvenation and provides results that last at least one year in most patients.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Sun damage, wrinkles, crepey skin, scars and more can be addressed with the right laser skin rejuvenation procedure. Laser skin treatments are versatile and can be performed as a one-time anti-aging treatment, as part of a skin maintenance regimen or as a complement to facial plastic surgery procedures such as facelift and eyelid lift surgery.
Fraxel Laser
Laser skin resurfacing with the Fraxel laser is an excellent way to reduce superficial skin imperfections and restore a smooth, bright complexion. Houston Fraxel patients undergo laser treatments of varying intensity to address a variety of moderate-to-severe skin conditions like rosacea, hyperpigmentation and acne scars.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting procedures use natural tissue harvested during liposuction to augment or enhance certain areas of the body. Houston facial plastic surgeon Dr. Bob Basu uses micro-injections of fat to fill in contour depressions in the face, plump thin lips or, on a larger scale, even augment the buttocks.
Obagi Skin Care
Houston Obagi skin care devotees enjoy medical grade home skin care products that come in different “systems” and cater to almost any skin care need. Rosacea, acne, melasma, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots – you name it; Obagi makes a product that can help you achieve and maintain a clear, healthy complexion.
