Many factors can affect your skin’s health, tone, and elasticity, including genetics, exposure to environmental toxins, nutrition, sun damage, and time. These changes may make you look older or more tired than you feel.
While there are surgical options, there are also many minimally invasive procedures that may give you the results you are looking for. Non-surgical procedures in Norwalk could give you a refreshed, more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
At The Waltzman Institute, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Josh Waltzman, you have access to a variety of non-surgical procedures that range from injectables to medical-grade skin care and Coolsculpting.
Our medical aesthetic patient care team could design a customized plan to help you achieve your goals. The following are examples of non-surgical procedures you can have done in Norwalk. We encourage you to schedule a consultation so we can personally design a plan to meet your needs.
Injectables are a range of treatments used to help reduce the visible signs of aging, such as loss of volume or fine lines and wrinkles. The treatments include neuromodulators and dermal fillers.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that help restore volume and smooth wrinkles, and they can be used to enhance facial contours. Many are composed of materials like hyaluronic acid (HA), which provides immediate results. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that attracts moisture and hydration. It offers a non-surgical solution for the signs of aging.
RHA
Resilient hyaluronic acid (RHA) fillers use a special form of HA that mimics what is found in the skin and offers natural-looking results during facial movements.
JUVÉDERM®
This hyaluronic acid-based product has effects that can last up to one year, depending on the specific formulation.
Restylane®
Most often used with lip augmentation, Restylane® is another hyaluronic-based formula that helps smooth wrinkles and enhance facial contours. Results can last for several months to over a year.
Sculptra®
This dermal filler works by replacing lost collagen. It helps to restore volume, correct wrinkles and folds, and add texture.
Neuromodulators, also called wrinkle relaxers, help correct the visible signs of aging in another way. Neuromodulators use neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum to block neurotransmitter receptors in muscles that create dynamic wrinkles. A dynamic wrinkle is formed by repetitive action in facial muscles, including crow’s feet, laugh lines, and frown lines.
BOTOX®
This well-known neuromodulator works by temporarily stopping muscle action, which smooths the skin and diminishes the appearance of lines. It is also used to treat conditions like excessive sweating.
Dysport®
is another cosmetic injectable developed from botulinum toxin that temporarily improves the look of moderate to severe frown lines without altering the movement in the rest of the face.
Jeuveau®
Also called “NewTox,” this modern formulation improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, including the “11s” between your eyebrows, and offers an alternative to other botulinum toxin products, like Botox.
This non-invasive procedure helps reduce the appearance of stubborn fat and targeted areas. CoolSculpting can be used on the abdomen and thighs as well as under the chin. The process uses cryolipolysis to freeze and destroy fat cells, which your body naturally eliminates over time. The FDA-approved procedure requires no sedation, anesthesia, or surgery. The results are typically gradual, so you notice the outcomes after a few months. These effects can be long lasting when you include proper diet and exercise.
A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses chemical solutions to remove the top layer of skin. The results vary depending on the type of chemical peel chosen for your skin concern. They can address wrinkles, scar tissue, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Deeper peels require more time to heal but offer dramatic results. This versatile tool can be tailored to meet your skin type and cosmetic concerns.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive procedure that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz. Dermaplaning exfoliates, smooths, and rejuvenates the skin, enhancing both texture and brightness. After dermaplaning, medical-grade skin products can penetrate deeper, offering greater results. This non-surgical procedure in Norwalk requires no sedation or pain control and offers immediate results with no recovery time.
A Hydrafacial is a multi-step treatment using a handheld device that cleans, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates the skin in one treatment. You receive the benefits of hydro dermabrasion, chemical peels, and painless extraction without the downtime typically associated with these procedures. Hydrafacial uses a gentle approach, making it a popular choice for immediate skin rejuvenation.
Non-surgical lip enhancements are aimed at increasing volume, improving definition, and enhancing the overall appearance of the lips. Enhancements are typically achieved using injectable dermal fillers, but the procedure is highly customizable to your cosmetic goals. Lip enhancements typically last several months before requiring maintenance treatments to sustain the volume.
This microneedling procedure uses a customizable FDA-approved device that could rejuvenate your skin by promoting the production of collagen without the use of heat or chemicals. It can be used to reduce the appearance of aging and facial scarring.
You have many options to help repair and restore your skin without surgery. Many procedures can be done in under an hour and require little to no recovery time, meaning you can quickly get back to your day.
