Achieving a youthful appearance is easier than ever, thanks to advanced treatments designed to rejuvenate your skin and restore volume. At TLKM Plastic Surgery, our surgeons and skilled aesthetician collaborate to create customized anti-aging plans tailored to your unique needs, helping you look refreshed, vibrant, and naturally younger.

Restore Youthful Volume With Dermal Fillers

As we age, the natural loss of skin volume can lead to sagging and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are a cornerstone of anti-aging skincare, addressing static wrinkles and adding fullness to areas such as the cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows. Find out where they work best in our related blog post.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers:

  • Immediate, natural-looking results
  • Customizable for subtle or dramatic enhancements
  • Long-lasting effects ranging from 6 to 18 months

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as JUVÉDERM® restore volume and hydrate the skin, improving elasticity and texture. They can target specific concerns, such as marionette lines and nasolabial folds, offering tailored results.

Radiesse® & Sculptra® Aesthetic: Non-Hyaluronic Acid Options

Radiesse and Sculptra rely on unique active ingredients to achieve their results. Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, which provide immediate volume and stimulate the body’s natural collagen production for long-term structural support. Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid to gradually rebuild collagen for progressive improvements that enhance facial contours over time.

It’s important to note that dermal fillers may not be ideal for every area, such as the lower eyelids, where the risk of chronic swelling can make fat transfer a more suitable option.

Fat Transfer: A Natural Approach to Rejuvenation

Fat transfer involves harvesting fat from one area of the body and injecting it into targeted areas such as the cheeks, lower eyelid area, under eye hollows, and temples.

Benefits of Fat Transfer:

  • Provides long-lasting results
  • Uses your own tissue for a natural look and feel

For patients seeking a natural and lasting solution for volume loss, fat transfer is an excellent option that complements other rejuvenation techniques.

Smooth Away Wrinkles With BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX smooths away existing wrinkles and helps prevent new ones from forming. By selectively relaxing the facial muscles, it treats dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.

Why Choose BOTOX?

  • Softens visible lines caused by repeated expressions
  • Reduces muscle movement to slow the progression of wrinkles
  • Offers a minimally invasive solution with no downtime

With results lasting 3 to 4 months, BOTOX is a versatile option for visible age reversal.

Enhance Texture and Tone With Laser- and Light-Based Treatments

Laser treatments address multiple concerns, including fine lines, discoloration, uneven texture, skin laxity, and face and neck contouring. TLKM Plastic Surgery uses advanced technology to deliver visible improvements for a range of skin concerns.

Laser skin treatments can be categorized as ablative or non-ablative, although hybrid technologies have emerged to offer more customized treatment options

  • Ablative Lasers: These lasers remove the outer layers of damaged skin, making them ideal for treating deeper wrinkles and significant sun damage. While the results are dramatic, recovery takes longer, with a typical healing period of 5 to 10 days.
  • Non-Ablative Lasers: These work primarily beneath the surface to stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone and texture with minimal downtime. Patients typically experience mild redness that resolves within a few days.

Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing

Less invasive than traditional ablative lasers yet delivering more noticeable, immediate results than non-ablative options, fractional lasers excel at addressing concerns such as scars, sunspots, and stretch marks. To achieve your desired outcome, we may recommend a single session or a customized series of treatments tailored to your goals.

IPL: A Bright Solution for Pigmentation

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) targets pigmentation issues like sunspots, redness, and broken capillaries. This treatment is ideal for individuals with light skin tones seeking a more even complexion.

IPL highlights:

  • Minimal discomfort and no downtime
  • Treats the face, neck, chest, and hands
  • A series of 3 to 4 treatments provides optimal results

By eliminating discoloration, IPL restores clarity and brightness to your skin.

Refresh Your Skin With Exfoliation Treatments

Exfoliating skin treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion are highly effective for refreshing the skin’s surface, reducing signs of aging, and improving texture and tone. These treatments remove dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, more youthful complexion.

Chemical Peels: Customized Care for Every Skin Type

Chemical peels use specialized solutions to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. TLKM Plastic Surgery offers a range of peels tailored to your specific concerns:

  • Lactic Acid Peel: A gentle exfoliant that hydrates and brightens, ideal for sensitive skin and addressing fine lines and pigmentation issues.
  • Jessner Peel: Combines multiple acids to reduce melasma, brown spots, and mild rosacea, offering powerful anti-aging benefits.
  • TCA Peel: Targets fine lines, wrinkles, and aging skin, delivering dramatic improvements for mature skin.
  • Salicylic Peel: Deeply cleanses and exfoliates, stimulating cell renewal to clear pores and treat acne-prone skin.

PowerPeel® Microdermabrasion: Gentle Yet Effective

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical treatment that gently exfoliates the skin using fine crystals, revealing a softer, smoother complexion. A series of 4 to 6 treatments can help reduce pore size, soften fine lines, and stimulate collagen growth for a firmer appearance.

Our Integrated Approach to Comprehensive Rejuvenation

At TLKM Plastic Surgery, we frequently combine multiple advanced modalities to create a holistic approach to skin rejuvenation, delivering exceptional results with minimal downtime.

Precision Techniques for Remarkable Results

Our approach integrates treatments such as:

  • Fat Grafting: Adds volume and enhances facial contours for a natural, youthful appearance.
  • Stem Cells: Typically performed with fat grafting, rejuvenating stem cells improve skin quality over time
  • Fractionated Laser: A 1540 nm laser targets deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen and refining texture.
  • Ablative Erbium-YAG Laser: Treats the superficial skin layers to smooth wrinkles and improve skin tone.
  • Spot Dermabrasion: Refines the deepest wrinkles for a polished, youthful finish.

This combination enables rapid healing (4 to 5 days), limited redness, and predictable results. For more pronounced wrinkles, some patients may benefit from a second treatment 8 to 12 months later, though repeated treatments are often unnecessary.

Implement a Personalized Skin Care Routine

An anti-aging skincare routine complements in-office treatments to maintain and enhance your results. Our aesthetician can guide you toward habits that promote a healthy complexion and walk you through the correct order for your routine.

Key Components of a Skincare Routine:

  • Cleansing: Removes dirt and impurities while prepping your skin for other treatments
  • Exfoliation: Promotes cell turnover and reveals fresh, glowing skin
  • Hydration: Moisturizers restore essential moisture to keep your skin supple
  • Protection: Daily sunscreen use prevents UV damage, one of the primary causes of wrinkles

A consistent skincare routine is vital for preserving the youthful look achieved through professional treatments. We recommend booking regular maintenance treatments to keep your skin refreshed and to address any new concerns as they arise.
