Facial Rejuvenation Trends( EMAILWIRE.COM, July 01, 2006 ) Chicago, IL – Drooping eyebrows, deep crow's feet, loose forehead skin gathered at the nasal bone - today's forehead rejuvenating procedures address each of these aging concerns and more. Sometimes all that is needed is a noninvasive treatment. If surgery is necessary, MetropolitanMD's expert physicians, including Dr. John Rachel, will use minimally invasive procedures or state-of-the-art surgical techniques. MetropolitanMD, a premiere cosmetic surgery center, has offices located in North Shore, Glenview and downtown Chicago, Illinois. Noninvasive techniques, such as radiofrequency skin tightening, or Thermage, induce collagen realignment and contraction. The result is skin contraction of the forehead, eyebrow elevation and more visible upper eyelids. “People emerge with eyes that look refreshed and skin changes that may slow the progression of aging,” says Dr. John Rachel, double-board certified plastic surgeon and expert in facial rejuvenation. Minimally invasive options include Botox™ injections, fillers and resurfacing lasers. “We often use Botox™ to relax muscles that cause the eyebrows to pull downward, freeing the brows to elevate in a more youthful arch,” says Dr. Rachel. Additionally, with today’s modern resurfacing lasers, we can improve skin quality, regenerate collagen and promote skin contraction. Another exciting new modality for skin tightening is Contour ThreadLift™. This FDA approved treatment involves placing several stitches under the skin to lift the tissue in the desired direction. The procedure can dramatically rejuvenate the mid-face and brows and patients see an immediate improvement. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and results can last for several years. To achieve the most dramatic and long-lasting changes to the forehead region, the brow lift or forehead lift is most effective. Some surgeons use endoscopes, which allows them to visualize the sutures under the skin through smaller incisions, different than traditional surgery. “Many treatment options are available so a detailed discussion with your physician is important to understand what options are best for you,” says Dr. Rachel.
