Did you know that aging can be partly contributed by a loss of collagen production, “which starts slowing down at a rate of 1% a year around the age of 38.” Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon and works to help reverse signs of aging on her patients every day. Whether it is minimally-invasive injectables or surgical procedures, Dr. Devgan offers it all.
The Wall Street Journal featured Dr. Devgan as a medical expert in their latest article, Got Body Wrinkles? These New Procedures Might Help, to shine a light on the latest in cosmetic treatments. The first and foremost important thing Dr. Devgan assess is her threshold for decision making in her practice. While there are many new technologies being introduced, Dr. Devgan will only bring something into her practice if she would do it on herself or on a family member. If not, she will not perform it. For skin tightening and wrinkles, Dr. Devgan likes to use injectable collagen biostimulators like Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) and Sculptra (poly L-lactic acid). “These long-acting fillers can be injected into the knees, thighs, buttocks, chest and inner arm.” As Dr. Devgan compares the use of these smoothing fillers as “as fresh coat of paint” for crepey skin.
If you are new to injectables and are not familiar with the protocol, results for these types of fillers typically last a year. Additionally, the injection point is a miniscule needle, therefore the pain is kept to a minimum.
