FOR THE AGING FACE
Among the most common treatments to bring patients to our clinic, aging face solutions help you combat lines and wrinkles. These skin condition treatments help you look as young as you feel. Over the years, time and sun exposure can cause your face to show signs of aging.
Dr. Rivkin specializes in non-invasive, painless techniques for restoring your natural beauty and correcting the imperfections that develop with time and age. We offer a variety of solutions for the aging face.
LAZERFACELIFT –
LASER FACELIFT USING PROFOUND TX LASER
The LazerFacelift is our most intense and effective procedure to reduce jowling and fat deposits in the neck and underneath the chin. It also works exceptionally well to tighten loose skin around the neck and jawline.
The LazerFacelift procedure takes advantage of the unique ability of the Profound Tx laser to fire directionally. That means that the laser is introduced under the skin and can be used to melt fat as well as tighten skin by heating it from the inside. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions.
After injection of anesthetic, three tiny incisions are made under the ears and chin and the laser probe goes through the incisions. Because the laser is being fired under the skin, results are much more dramatic than devices like Ulthera or Thermage that apply energy from the outside.
The LazerFacelift procedure involves four to five days of downtime and some temporary bruising and swelling, but the results are really amazing!
TOTAL FX FRACTIONAL
CO2 LASER TREATMENT
Total FX Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment is a comprehensive combination of two distinct fractionated CO2 lasers – the Active FX and the Deep FX. The Active FX treats the superficial layer of the skin, smoothing out the finer wrinkles and improving the appearance of sun damage and brown spots.
The Deep FX treats the deeper layers of the skin, smoothing out acne scars, moderately deep wrinkles and shrinking enlarged pores.
The Total FX is the most intensive skin remodeling technology, giving the most dramatic results possible without undergoing surgical CO2 resurfacing. Each treatment involves about a week of downtime, but the improvement in your skin quality is unparalleled.
FRAXEL LASER TREATMENT
Fraxel laser resurfacing (using the state-of-the-art Fraxel SR1500 laser) reduces fine lines, removes sun damage and brown spots, smooths out acne scars, and rejuvenates the skin.
The Fraxel SR1500 is one of the most comprehensive and powerful tool we have for skin rejuvenation. It helps effectively eliminate acne scars and surgical scars (the FDA recently approved Fraxel for these indications).
Fraxel has recently been FDA approved for treatment of melasma (a hormonal pigmentation disorder that mostly affects women, especially after pregnancy) and for reduction of pore size.
RIVKIN Aesthetics has upgraded its Fraxel to the Fraxel II (SR1500) laser – an improved version of the original Fraxel. The Fraxel SR1500 does not require blue dye and the treatments give better results with less downtime.
PHOTOFACIAL
Our Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photofacial treatments resolve brown spots and visible blood vessels (capillaries and the redness of rosacea). The IPL emits light of a specific wavelength, which targets the discolored cells while leaving the lighter, healthy tissue undamaged. At the same time this process stimulates some collagen production, which helps fill in fine lines and refreshes the skin.
BOTOX®
Frown and worry lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet can all be smoothed out with BOTOX®. BOTOX® also smoothes out the dimpled “orange peel” skin of the aging chin, it arches and elevates the eyebrows, eliminates neck bands, smoothes out vertical “smoker’s” lip lines and elevates drooping corners of the mouth.
INJECTABLE FILLERS
Injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Restylane, Sculptra, Juvederm™, Bellafill and Collagen offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery for many common signs of aging. Volume loss is one of the most obvious signs of aging. The fullness of the cheeks decreases, lips thin and the area under the eyes becomes hollow.
Gravity and loss of fatty tissue under the skin combine to give us a drawn, tired and gaunt appearance as we get older. Our options to replace this volume have, in the past, been very limited. Fat transfer has been an unreliable, expensive technique and collagen injections have a very short duration of effect.
FDA approval of these new longer lasting injectable fillers has revolutionized anti-aging aesthetic medicine. Dr. Rivkin commonly fills the cheeks with Radiesse or even Bellafill, re-creating youthful fullness and re-suspending the face.
He eliminates dark circles under the eyes by refilling the collapsed area under the eye with Juvederm, removing the depression into which the shadow that makes dark circles falls.
The effect of each of these treatments lasts for one to one and a half years and they are painless, easy and quick lunchtime procedures. If you’re looking for beautiful results from injectable fillers like Juvederm, visit Dr. Rivkin at RIVKIN Aesthetics.
Of course these fillers are also excellent at reducing the appearance of smile lines (nasolabial folds), frown lines (marionette lines) and lines between the eyebrows.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Considering fillers before opting for surgery is a wise approach whenever feasible. These fillers offer temporary results, which allows you to visualize how the outcome will look. Later, if you desire a more permanent solution, you can choose surgery. If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with the results of the fillers, there's always the option to dissolve them using hyaluronidase (if your injector used a hyaluronic acid filler).
To ensure the best possible results, it's crucial to seek an experienced injector who specializes in facial aesthetics. Their expertise will play a significant role in achieving the desired outcome.

While it's essential to determine the best treatments for your specific needs, I believe certain options can deliver the results you desire.Fillers can be highly effective when injected into the appropriate areas. Simply targeting the visible issues like marionettes or nasolabial areas may not address the root problem and can result in an unnatural appearance. Our faces have fat distributed in different segments, and the rate of volume depletion can vary from one area to another. When performing a "liquid facelift," I concentrate on the cheeks, pre-auricular space, temples, and peri-oral areas as they greatly benefit from volume replacement. Focusing on these regions can lead to a more balanced and rejuvenated look.
