Seven Ways to Tighten Facial Skin (Part 1)

Seven Ways to Tighten Facial Skin (Part 1)

Perhaps nothing “ages” a person more dramatically than sagging facial skin. One of the number one questions we get from our patients at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Birmingham, MI is how to tighten facial skin.

The good news is that many new products and technologies can help tighten facial skin – from at-home skin care products, to non-invasive radiofrequency technologies, to minimally-invasive fillers, all the way to the gold standard of facial skin tightening, the surgical facelift.

Why Facial Skin Gets Saggy

Before we delve into how to tighten facial skin, it is important to understand why the skin on the face sags and droops as we age.

Sagging facial skin is due to three age-related reasons: loss of collagen, loss of elastin and loss of fat.

As skin ages, it decreases production of two important proteins – elastin and collagen. Elastin is what gives skin elasticity – or the ability to “snap back” in place when stretched. Collagen, on the other hand, is comprised of tightly-constructed fibers that maintain the skins structure and firmness.

And subcutaneous fat – fat beneath the skin – keeps facial skin plump and tight.

While elastin, collagen and facial fat decline as people age, external factors over time can also accelerate the sagging, including: heredity, sun exposure, environmental pollutants, cigarette smoke and alcohol.

7 Facial Skin Tightening Treatments:

#1. Skin Tightening Skincare Products

Properly nourishing the skin can help provide the essential elements needed to maintain elastin and collagen production. And, the good news, is that this can be done at home using facial skin tightening products from our online store.

At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Birmingham, MI we offer both Allastin  and ZO by Obagi skin care products that help tighten facial skin, both of which can be purchase through our online store.

For example Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer nourishes and hydrates the skin with a unique combination of peptides that target collagen and elastin. And ZO Skin Health Growth Factor Serum is formulated with plant and enzymatically derived growth factors, clinically proven to improve skin firmness and elasticity.

#2. Skin Tightening Dermalinfusion

For more intensive infusion of nutrients into the skin we offer skin tightening Dermalinfusion. After exfoliation, nutrient-containing serums penetrate deep into the skin to help support the skin’s natural ability to produce new healthy collagen and elastin, for younger-looking, supple skin.

#3. Skin Tightening Microneedling

Microneedling works on the same principle as fractional lasers. Numerous tiny wounds are created throughout the skin with ultrafine microneedles. As the skin goes into action to repair these micro-wounds, it stimulates the produce of new collagen and elastin.

The new collagen and elastin production remodel the skin by filling in lines, wrinkles and scars, while improving tone and elasticity – visibly tightening facial skin.

#4. Skin Tightening ThermiSmooth

ThermiSmooth is a non-invasive, non-ablative radiofrequency skin-tightening technology that uses a specially designed hand piece to gently treat the skin with controlled heat energy.

ThermiSmooth’s radiofrequency heat waves stimulate the skin’s natural production of collagen – which strengthens, thickens and tightens facial skin for a younger appearance.

In this two part article renowned Birmingham, Mi plastic surgeon Dr. ALi shares the top 7 ways to tighten facial skin for a younger and more attractive appearance.

CLICK HERE for Part 1 of Skin Tightening Treatments

#5. Profound to Tighten Facial Skin

One of the news and most exciting treatments to tighten facial skin is state-of-the-art Profound. This revolutionary technology not only tightens facial skin and improves elasticity, it also reduces wrinkles, and creates more volume, and “plumpness”.

Profound also utilizes radiofrequency energy combined with microneedling to activate the skin’s healing processes and regenerate production of collagen and elastin.

Profound is so effective at facial skin tightening that it is often called a “non-surgical facelift”. Profound is especially effective at tightening sagging skin around the mouth and “jowls”.

In medical studies, Profound has been shown to achieve facial skin tightening results that are equal to an 37% of a surgical facelift.

#6. The “Liquid Facelift” to Tighten Facial Skin

Dr. Ali also employs a variety of FDA approved injectable products to replace lost volume and “fill in” wrinkles and deep creases and folds in the face and tighten facial skin. For immediate facial skin tightening results, with no surgery and no downtime, the so-called “liquid facelift” can create outstanding results.

Results from strategically placed injections of Juvéderm and other facial fillers can give the appearance of dramatically tightened skin –  and can last from six months to as long as two years.

VOLUMA® XC – the thickest, strongest formula of Juvéderm – can be used to add volume to a hollow or sagging cheek area, and lasts up to two years. VOLLURE™ XC can be used to plump and fill severe parentheses (“marionette”) lines in the area around the nose and mouth, and lasts up to 18 months.

In the hands of a skilled injector, like Birmingham, MI board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali, skillfully placed fillers can create a “liquid face lift” that tightens facial skin and takes years off of your appearance.

#7. Mini Facelift Surgery to Tighten Facial Skin

Of course, the most dramatic and long lasting way to tighten facial skin is through facelift surgery at AMAE Plastic Surgery in Birmingham , MI.  There are several different types of facelift procedures and techniques, offering different cosmetic results, and varying degrees of invasiveness, downtime and recovery.

The “Mini Facelift” and/or SMS Facelift refer to facelift procedures that help reduce visible signs of aging, by tightening and firming the cheeks, jawline and to some extent the neck.

During an SMAS facelift Birmingham, Mi board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali creates an incision at the temple, above the hairline, which extends downward, following the natural crease in front of the ear, below the ear lobe and then behind your ear. It is ideal for people with mild to moderate skin laxity.

#8. Full Facelift Surgery to Tighten Facial Skin

A “full” or “deep plane” facelift that is recommended for people with severe facial sagging and laxity, and for those men and women desiring a longer-lasting facelift.

As the aging process progresses, both the skin and the muscles of the facial region become loose and lax. Facelift surgery not only tightens facial skin, but also tightens the underlying muscles. No other cosmetic procedures besides a surgical facelift can tighten and restore the muscles as well as the facial skin.

The effects of a full facelift can last from 10 to 15 years, and sometimes longer. Because of the extensive nature of a full facelift, the recovery time is longer than other facelift procedures – but the dramatic and long lasting results are well worth it.

Tighten Facial Skin – Birmingham, MI

AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Birmingham, MI is one of the only premier facilities in the Detroit area to offer all of these state-of-the-art facial skin tightening procedures.

The facial skin tightening treatment that is right for you will depend upon your age and your skin condition, as well as factors such as your genetics and your lifestyle. Schedule a consultation today – including an at-home video consultation – to discuss your skin tightening options with Dr. Ali.

And, don’t forget to start at home with proper skin nutrition, with products from our ZO and ALLASTIN skincare store!

Painful Sex Makes Increased Intimacy Difficult During Social Distancing

/in /by

Viveve: Best Painful Sex Treatment –

With everyone stuck at home during Covid-19 social distancing, the media is frequently noting that “intimate moments” between partners have increased exponentially in many quarantined households. And, while this is wonderful for many couples, for the thousands of woman suffering from painful sex an increase in intimacy is not an option.

After menopause, up to half of all women report having painful sex – with pain or discomfort before, during, and/or after intercourse. Sadly, this condition – known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause or “GSM” – is one that women often suffer with in silence.

Studies show that it takes a large percentage of women a long time to seek medical assistance for this common condition, and sadly many never do. This is usually either because they are embarrassed to discuss painful sex – or because they think there is simply nothing they can do. Unfortunately, many women think that painful intercourse is simply a natural part of aging that they should accept.

The good news is that Dr. Ali now offers a new, painless state-of-the-art treatment called Viveve that can eliminate painful sex with just one treatment – without hormones, without surgery and with no downtime

What Causes Painful Sex

A woman’s body changes throughout her lifetime. After menopause a women’s body discontinues producing the female hormones that it did during the child-bearing years. Dwindling estrogen, due to menopause, is the number one cause of painful sex during midlife and beyond.

As the woman’s body produces less female hormones, the tissues in the vagina become thinner, less “elastic” and drier. The dryness creates painful friction during sex. And, since the vagina also stretches less, it adds to the friction.

On top of that, the woman’s body also produces less collagen as she ages – so all of her skin begins to lose its firmness and vaginal walls become lax or loose feeling. Just as facial skin begins to sag and become less plump with age, so does vaginal skin. This laxity not only results in decreased sensation and lubrication – it can also lead to bladder leakage.

Best Treatment for Painful Sex

Viveve™ Vaginal Rejuvenation is a non-surgical procedure that can “rejuvenate” the vaginal tissue – to restore elasticity, lubrication and firmness in the vagina. With just a single treatment a woman can get much needed relief from painful sex – and improve her sexual sensation and satisfaction.

Viveve™ uses state-of-the-art radio-frequency energy with integrated cooling technology to stimulate collagen production in the vagina. Since collagen is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, increased collagen production will improve the vaginal tissue.

And, in addition to eliminating painful intercourse and improving sensation and functionality in the vagina, some women have also reported improved orgasm.

Most women report some immediate initial results, such as improved lubrication, less painful sex and reduced vaginal itching and dryness. After a few weeks most women report even greater effects including an increase in vaginal tightness and sensitivity, improved sexual sensation. And after approximately six to nine weeks, the collagen should be substantially restored and “rejuvenated” for the maximum improvement in sexual sensation, tightness and lubrication – with no more painful sex!

Birmingham, MI Painful Sex Treatment

Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women in the Detroit area treat painful sex & improve sexual intimacy with just a single 30 minute Viveve vaginal rejuvenation treatment. He would also be happy to schedule a video consultation to discuss the procedure with you during social distancing!

It is an affordable, painless, procedure performed in our Birmingham, MI (Detroit area) medical office. There is no downtime, and you will begin to notice vaginal improvement within just a few weeks.

Call us for a discreet, confidential vaginal rejuvenation consultation and see if Viveve is right for you – and enjoy those intimate moments once again!

12 Symptoms of “Low T” & What You Can do About It (Part 1)

12 Symptoms of Low T (testosterone) and What You Can do About It (Part 1) – 

The male hormone called testosterone affects everything from a man’s sexual development to his physical appearance. Testosterone aids in the building of muscles and bone mass, and is also – perhaps most famously – responsible for a man’s sex drive and production of sperm.

As men age, their body begins to produce less and less testosterone. Commonly known as “Low T,” low testosterone is estimated by the American Urological Association to impact roughly 2 out of every 10 men above the age of 60. And by the time men reach their 70s and 80s, those numbers only continue to increase.

Fortunately, Dr. Ali in Birmingham, MI, now offers the latest and most advanced, 100% natural, clinically tested and FDA approved “Low T” (testosterone) treatment. In this two part article, we discuss 12 of the most common signs and symptoms of Low T – as well as the low testosterone treatment we provide to help men treat this condition.

10 SYMPTOMS OF LOW T

  1. Low T can lower your sex drive

A man’s sex drive is determined largely by his testosterone levels. Consequently, many men experience a diminished sex drive as they get older. If you suffer from Low T and have experienced a dramatic decrease in your desire to have sex, you will most likely benefit from the low testosterone treatment offered at our Birmingham, MI medical spa.

  1. Low T causes difficulty with erections

Not only is a man’s libido stimulated by testosterone, it is also crucial to his ability to achieve and maintain an erection. While testosterone isn’t solely responsible for achieving an erection, it does play a vital role in stimulating the brain’s receptors necessary to do so.

While low testosterone treatment can help patients with Low T erectile issues, there are numerous medical reasons why one may experience erectile dysfunction. As such, it is important to see a doctor and not try to treat yourself if you have ED. Dr. Ali will take a blood test to measure your testosterone levels to make sure this is the cause of your erectile problems.

  1. Low T can lower semen volume

Similarly, the body’s production of semen is impacted by its levels of testosterone.

If you have noticed a lower-than-usual volume of semen during ejaculations, you may very well benefit from low testosterone treatment, available at our medical spa in Birmingham, MI.

  1. Low T can lead to hair loss

Hair production is among the numerous body functions testosterone effects. While most men will experience some form of balding as they age, men with Low T often experience loss of facial and body hair as well. At AMAE in Birmingham, MI, our low testosterone treatment is an excellent way to catch testosterone-related hair loss before it worsens.

  1. Low T is known to cause fatigue

If you experience feelings of extreme fatigue despite getting regular sleep, you may benefit from low testosterone treatment. Low T is known to significantly decrease the energy levels of those effected.

  1. Low T can cause loss of muscle mass

Low T patients may also notice a decrease to their body’s muscle mass. While testosterone is not responsible for the strength or function of one’s muscles, studies have proven it to impact their mass.

Dr. Ali in Birmingham, MI, now offers the latest and most advanced, 100% natural, clinically tested and FDA approved Low Testosterone treatment.

In this two part article, we discuss 12 of the most common signs and symptoms of “Low T” – as well as the low testosterone treatment we provide to help men treat this condition.

CLICK HERE for PART 1 of This Article

  1. Increased body fat from Low Testosterone

When men visit our Birmingham, MI medical spa for low testosterone treatment, one of their most common concerns is unwanted weight gain. This can include gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue), and is believed to result from a testosterone-to-estrogen ratio that is out of balance.

  1. Decreased bone mass from Low Testosterone

While the thinning of bone mass known as osteoporosis is most often associated with women, bone loss is also known to affect men with Low T. Since testosterone is responsible in part for producing and strengthening bones, men with Low T – particularly older men – often have lower bone volume.

If your battle with Low T has left you more susceptible to bone fractures, visit AMAE Med Spa in Birmingham, MI for low testosterone treatment.

  1. Low Testosterone can cause mood changes

At AMAE in Birmingham, MI, our patients with Low T regularly report experiencing mood swings. This is a product of testosterone impact on one’s mood and overall mental capacity. According to clinical research, men with Low T are more likely to experience difficulty focusing, irritability, and depression. Fortunately, our state-of-the-art low testosterone treatment should aid in patients feeling more “normal” – both physically and mentally/emotionally.

  1. Low Testosterone can affect memory

Along with testosterone levels, cognitive functions like memory tend to decline as a man ages. For this reason, doctors hypothesize a link between Low T and affected memory.

The Journal of the American Medical Association has published the findings of a number of studies that link low testosterone treatment with improved memory.

While experts do not agree on a conclusive connection between Low T and memory loss, a great many of the low testosterone treatment patients at our Birmingham, MI medical spa report experiencing issues with memory.

  1. Low Testosterone can decrease testicle size

At our Birmingham, MI area medical spa, many of our low testosterone treatment patients report having smaller-than-average sized testicles. This is due to the penis and testicles requiring testosterone to develop. Consequently, Low T often causes patients to have disproportionately small genitalia when compared to men with healthy levels of testosterone.

Nonetheless, numerous other factors may be responsible for testicles that are below-average in size, not just Low T. Again, that’s why you should see a doctor for symptoms of Low T and not try to self-medicate

  1. Low blood counts from Low Testosterone

If you’re seeking out a low testosterone treatment, you may also experience an increased risk of anemia. While Low T has more than its fair share of unpleasant symptoms, anemia can bring about even more. Dizziness, increased heart rate, leg cramping, and difficulty sleeping and/or concentrating are among common symptoms of anemia.

According to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, men who suffer both from Low T and from anemia experienced improvements to both conditions after receiving low testosterone treatment.

The Natural & Convenient Way to Treat Low Testosterone

Decreases in a man’s testosterone levels will occur incrementally over time, unlike women, who experience dramatic drops to their hormone levels during menopause. Below-normal testosterone levels are most likely to be found in older men. But regardless of age, anyone in the Birmingham, MI area suffering from Low T is invited to visit Dr. Ali, for the most effective, convenient and consistent FDA approved low testosterone treatment.

The BioTe hormone replacement therapy treatment (BHRT) is capable of restoring the body’s testosterone to ideal levels. The BHRT low testosterone treatment begins to correct Low T within 10 days of treatment, providing results that can last up to 6 months in male patients.

Breast Implants – Why Some Women Go Smaller

/in /by

Breast Implants: Why Some Women Go Smaller – 

Like many other cosmetic surgeries, breast implants are the subject of countless unfair and inaccurate stereotypes. In the media the phrase “breast implants” is often associated with oversized breasts that are as obviously fake as they are disproportionate. And while the trends of decades prior may have cemented this image in the cultural consciousness, too-large breasts now represent very small percentage of actual breast implant patients.

In fact, in the modern era, women tend to prefer a much more subtle end-result than what is commonly associated with breast implants. Smaller, natural-looking breast implants are an excellent way for a woman to feel more satisfied with her physique without looking like out of proportion or exaggerated. In fact, a number of women have visited our Detroit area practice to “trade in” their older, larger-than-life breast implants for something smaller and subtler.

Breast implants weren’t just invented to provide the largest breasts possible; they were invented to provide women of all sizes and body types with a sense of confidence and comfort in their own skin. And today, for more women than ever, all that takes are breast implants in the B or C cup range.

In this article, we’ll explain why many contemporary women tend to opt for smaller breast implants, and how the team at AMAE Plastic Surgery can provide women from all over the greater Detroit area with precisely the cosmetic results they’re looking for.

Many Reasons for Getting Breast Implants

Breast implants can serve a great many more purposes than most people ever stop to consider. In addition to simply increasing one’s cup size, breast implants can be used to correct breasts that are asymmetrical or deflated in appearance. Breast implants are also a great way to return one’s chest to its pre-pregnancy shape and size, which for many women means something subtle.

At AMAE Plastic Surgery, we proudly serve the Detroit area as the preeminent provider of medical aesthetics. We value our patients’ health and safety above all else, and understand that breast implants – along with every service we offer – means much more to a person than just a cosmetic procedure.

Benefits of Smaller Breast Implants

We aim to perfectly facilitate the exact results our patients hope for, and for many women, that means smaller breast implants. Smaller breast implants come along with a litany of benefits, not just for women with smaller or thinner frames. Smaller breast implants tend to look more natural, and result in a much less substantial change to the patient’s appearance.

Smaller breast implants also subject the tissue of the breast and the surrounding area to less trauma than occurs in larger breast implants. Smaller breast implants also face a much lower risk of nerve damage than their larger counterparts. Furthermore, smaller breast implants mean a shorter, more comfortable recovery period!

Other Advantages of Smaller Breast Implants

Today’s breast implants and breast augmentation surgeries – whether you go big or small – are very safe when performed by an experienced board certified Detroit area plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali. But patients may enjoy some added benefits of choosing smaller breast implants – making a “mini boob job” the more “comfortable” choice.

Unlike larger, heavier breast implants, smaller breast implants face much less potential for sagging over time. With smaller breast implants, gravity is on your side for years to come!

Breast implants that are too large can also sometimes result in diminished sensitivity, including the nipple being prone to loss of sensation. Smaller breast implants, on the other hand, face much less risk. And since smaller breast implants place far less strain on the skin, there is less chance of the implant becoming visible beneath the skin, after years of wear.

Larger breast implants can also interfere with athletics and physical activity such as exercise – and can sometimes be a source of unwanted, disrespectful attention. So some women choose smaller breast implants, to continue enjoying their regular athletic routine without additional physical or emotional stress.

Breast Implants – Detroit Area

At AMAE Plastic Surgery in the Detroit area, we are acutely aware that everyone’s bodies have their own unique needs – and everyone’s aesthetic preferences are different. This means that when it comes to breast implants, bigger is not always better for many women.

If you’re interested in accentuating your frame with breast implants that look as natural as they do flattering – whether you want to go big or go small – call us today for a consultation.
