Robert Whitfield MD explains what causes facial aging: puffy eye pads, wrinkles, sagging skin. Hydrafacial can plump skin temporarily for events, but the effect fades. The clinic focuses on treating underlying inflammation and swelling that damage skin quality.
We also see exposure of the fat pads around the eyes giving us a puffy appearance. And then finally, of course, what everybody sees most frequently in facial aging is the skin, whether it's lines, wrinkles, folds, sagging of the tissues, jowling, all of those things become, you know, part of the what we see in terms of facial aging. When I think of treatment options in my clinic, as it stands now, I'm very rooted in understanding exactly, you know, what are the root drivers of not just inflammation, but anything that can just increase a patient's day to day swelling, which affects the turgor in their tissues. If anybody's familiar with hydrafacial, hydrafacial can allow more fluid to be instilled in the tissues and give it a very shiny, tense appearance. So it's great, you know, in terms of giving that look that you may want for an event, it's not going to last.
