Facial Rejuvenation in Queens, NY

The cosmetic dentists at CitiDental use laser facial rejuvenation procedures and injectables to remove the years from your face. In the end, your face matches the radiance of your new smile. Each technique treats a specific condition, such as:

1. Sun-damaged skin
2. Sagging skin that makes you look tired
3. Sun spotted skin and other pigmentation issues
4. Scars from acne or other causes
5. Crow’s feet, nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles
6. Rough patches of skin
7. Dull-looking skin
8. Dark circles beneath your eyes
9. Discolored skin

To combat these conditions, your cosmetic dentist can help you choose from among a number of procedures, including laser treatments, Botox or Juvéderm® injections, and other facial fillers. Each outpatient procedure is done right in the dentist’s office. You can expect a procedure to last from 30 to 120 minutes.

Before you can begin any procedure at this center for facial rejuvenation, you must be in good health. This requirement includes not just your dental health, but also your overall health. Your cosmetic dentist asks about your medical history and any medications you’re currently taking. If necessary, you may have to take an antibiotic to prevent infections, blisters or cold sores.

If you opt for laser facial rejuvenation, the process is straightforward:

Your skin will have that sunburned look and feel. That’s normal, and it will fade. But you must wear a bandage over the area for one day. Aftercare involves keeping your skin moist and clean. Short-term medication is provided to reduce any swelling and help you cope with any discomfort.

You should be back to your normal routine in two to three weeks. After the first five days or so, your skin may dry and peel. This means your new skin is emerging. Give it time and keep it clean. You can expect:

1. Some temporary swelling
2. Sunburn-like redness
3. Itchiness as your skin dries and peels

Once your face has healed, you must apply daily sunscreen and use only oil-free makeup for at least two months. Protect yourself from the sun whenever you leave the house. Ultraviolet rays get through even on cloudy days. By taking care of your new skin, the effects from your procedure will last longer.

In the hands of an expert like your cosmetic dentist at CitiDental in Queens, you should expect great results from your laser facial rejuvenation or whichever procedure you chose. But there is always the possibility of some risk or side effect, such as:

1. Scars from the laser, which is very rare
2. Burns from the laser heat, which is again fairly rare
3. An infection, cold sore or fever blister,
   often cured with antibiotics
4. A pigmentation change on your treated skin

If you notice any of these symptoms, as rare as they are, contact this center for facial rejuvenation. Your dentist will tell you what to do or have you come back in for an evaluation.

Every cosmetic procedure you undergo leaves its mark. Whether you completely revamp your smile or opt for teeth whitening as your starting point, you will look more pleasing to yourself, which adds to your self-esteem. As your confidence builds, so do your prospects. It’s a cycle that feeds on one another.

Clear, smooth skin is just another way to do the same thing. A wrinkle-free face complements your dental work. When facial rejuvenation is likely not covered by your insurance, consider it an investment in yourself. Come in for a consultation to talk about available procedures and payment options. It’s the first step to a new you.
