There are many advances in non-surgical facial rejuvenation with proven clinical results. Here, Dr. Kleven shares a few of her favorites.

An elegantly simple concept, Ellacor with Micro-Coring Technology is the first and only device of its kind that removes skin on a microscale with 90% of patients showing an improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles. This technology, in its simplest form, removes excess skin without surgery. It’s a major advancement in aesthetics and a new way to address wrinkles at a level we haven’t seen before. Ellacor provides natural-looking results without the pain or recovery associated with more invasive surgery or procedures.

What is biostimulator therapy and how does it differ from fillers?

Biostimulator therapy involves injecting substances that stimulate the body’s own natural collagen, elastin and HA production. Unlike fillers, which provide immediate results, biostimulators work gradually over time, improving skin quality and elasticity. There are several options which are tailored to a clients’ needs. For example, harvested growth factors, stem cell products, collagen stimulators, and the latest, exosomes. Biostimulators are a solution to help achieve graceful aging, or to reverse aging.

What are exosomes, and how do they contribute to facial rejuvenation?

Exosomes are tiny vesicles that contain billions of growth factors and other signaling molecules. When applied to the skin during a procedure, exosomes promote tissue regeneration, collagen production and overall skin rejuvenation, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

CO2 fractionated resurfacing is still one of the best rejuvenation options. How does it help with facial rejuvenation?

CO2 fractionated resurfacing is a physician-performed laser treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin, stimulates collagen production and promotes the growth of new, healthier skin cells. It reduces wrinkles, fine lines and uneven pigmentation, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin.

What’s your best advice for people looking for more youthful skin?

Choose your provider very carefully. Seek a skilled board-certified Dermatologist or Surgeon. Physician teams like Dr. Kristina Kleven and Dr. Bradley Straka at Highlander Dermatology’s Glō Aesthetics will review all available best options to guide you through your rejuvenation journey.
