Facial rejuvenation is a treatment that seeks to help patients address cosmetic facial issues. Treatments can help reverse the effects of aging that everyone experiences or they can be used to reduce symptoms caused by particular conditions, such as rosacea. Depending on a patient’s needs, a facial rejuvenation may consist of just one treatment, or it might include a series of treatments.

Everyone who has a cosmetic concern about their face may benefit from a facial rejuvenation. Treatments can be used to treat everything from ingrown hairs and wrinkles to vascular congestion, hyperpigmentation, and chronic acne.

How long it takes to completely treat a condition depends on the severity of the symptoms and the procedures used to treat it. If multiple procedures are needed, a full treatment may take several weeks.

Each facial rejuvenation treatment, however, usually only takes part of a day. Most procedures are performed as outpatient services and completed in the doctor’s office. Patients rarely need to go to a hospital, and they almost never need to spend the night in a hospital. Because treatments take only a short time and patients can return home afterward, it’s usually easy to arrange facial rejuvenation procedures around patient’s work, school, and other obligations.

Patients who want to see a doctor about a potential facial rejuvenation should first seek a physician who is licensed and board-certified. Second, they should look for a surgeon as only surgeons are able to provide a complete array of treatment options. Surgery isn’t always necessary, but it sometimes is necessary. Finally, patients should also find a doctor who has a practice close to them. If multiple treatments are needed, going to a physician who has a conveniently located practice makes it easy to get to each appointment.
