When considering non-surgical rejuvenation an aging face, it is necessary that Dr. Glavey reviews the geometric dimensions of the patient's face. There are 3 dimensions that are taken into consideration: the "Y" axis, which is the total vertical height of the face from scalp to chin, the "X" axis, which is the measurement of the horizontal width of the face, and the "Z" axis, which if the forward (anterior) projection of the face from the insertion of the ears forwared. While the vertical ("Y" axis) dimension of the face rarely changes with time, the horizontal ("X" axis), decreases in width, and the Z axis decreases in size. Much of the loss of volume in the face is due to loss or movement of the fat pockets of the cheeks and temples. Loss of jaw volume and cheek fullness contributes to loss of the "Y"axis. The second consideration in rejuvenation is the assessment of the consequences of long-term muscle activity. In essence, muscle activity which tends to draw the observer's eyes in an upward position is desirable. Muscle activity which tends to draw the eyes downward is undesirable. An example of this is seen when one observes the progressive downward movement of the corners of the mouth over time.
Botox® (Botulinum toxin) has been used by Dr. Glavey since 1994. It is injected to relax facial muscles and is most beneficial for the treatment for frown lines, forehead furrows, and also "crow's feet". It can also be injected to reverse the downward turn of the angle of the mouth. Suitable Injectable Fillers For the “Liquid Lift”

EVOLENCE® dermal filler represents a breakthrough in treating the effects of aging by replacing the collagen you've lost with collagen that lasts. EVOLENCE® can immediately improve and refresh your appearance by smoothing out and softening unwanted wrinkles EVOLENCE® dermal filler is made of natural collagen, one of the most prevalent materials in your body. The advanced collagen in EVOLENCE® has been naturally cross- linked, so it mimics the 3-dimensional structure of your skin's own collagen. This allows it to integrate beautifully and support your skin's own existing collagen network by adding structure, strength, and volume for a natural look and feel that last.
Restylane® is a dermal filler that adds volume within the skin. It consists of hyaluronic acid, which exists naturally in your body to provide volume and fullness to your skin. As you age, the amount of hyaluronic acid diminishes resulting in lines, wrinkles and loss of volume in The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® replaces lost volume and restores youthful contours to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). After treatment with Restylane, the hydrophillic, or “water loving,” nature of the hyaluronic acid molecules allows them to bind many times their own weight in water as they slowly break down. This process helps maintain volume for about 6 months.
JUVÉDERM™ injectable gel is the first and only hyaluronic acid filler produced with innovative HYLACROSS™ technology, which combines a high concentration of hyaluronic acid with a high degree of cross-linking,creating a 3D matrix. This robust network structure increases the resistance to enzymatic degradation. HYLACROSS™ technology results in a smooth, natural look and feel for patients. Juvéderm™ is the first smooth-consistency gel formulation and is the only hyaluronic acid filler FDA approved to last up to 1 year*.
Thermage uses unique radiofrequency (RF) technology to safely heat the deep layers of your skin, while cooling the surface of your skin to keep it intact during the procedure. This deep heating stimulates your body’s natural skin renewal process, which helps tighten existing collagen and form new collagen. Over time, sagging or wrinkled skin is replaced with smoother, tighter skin, improved tone and texture, and overall younger looking appearance.
