Injectables may be temporary treatments, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for less than amazing results. Many of the patients we see at Facial Aesthetic Concepts ask what they can do to make the most of their injectable treatments. In this blog, our beauty and skin experts explain what you should know to maximize the benefits of this rewarding treatment.
Consider the Timing
Injectables are a quick treatment, but not necessarily fast acting. Botox immobilizes facial muscles within a couple days, but it can take up to a couple weeks for the lines to fade from your skin. With dermal […]
The word “rhinoplasty” can refer to a variety of procedures. Some patients want to straighten their nose, some want to improve their breathing, some want to adjust the direction of the nasal tip, and some want to change the nose’s overall size. With so many types of cosmetic and functional requests, the best plastic surgeons must develop various techniques to fulfill the patient’s personal goals.
All nose reshaping procedures fit into two categories: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Below, the team at Facial Aesthetic Concepts in Orange County explains the differences between these approaches.
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty, also known as external rhinoplasty, […]
Believe it or not, surgery is not the only way to rejuvenate skin. At Facial Aesthetic Concepts, our team of expert aestheticians offer a variety of minimally invasive skin treatments, with one of the most popular being microneedling. While some people get nervous when they hear the word “needles,” once they learn more about how effective and easy it is to refresh their skin, they start to incorporate microneedling into their beauty routine.
How Microneedling Works
Collagen and elastin are two proteins that keep skin smooth and elastic-like. Unfortunately, as the body gets older, its production of these proteins slows significantly, causing […]
If you have begun to research ways to refresh your forehead, you may have noticed that it seems like fewer plastic surgery centers are offering coronal (traditional) brow lift these days. Indeed, our board-certified plastic surgeons at Facial Aesthetic Center have found that the traditional approach is not worth offering given the exciting benefits of a less invasive alternative: endoscopic brow lift.

Although it is true that skin care treatments have historically been marketed to women, it would be a mistake to assume that men do not care about having younger-looking skin. Here at Facial Aesthetic Concepts in Orange County, we treat many male patients who are looking to restore a healthy texture and tone to their skin. In this blog, our experts discuss some of the reasons for this trend.
Societal Norms Have Shifted
Male beauty standards have evolved over time, as have perspectives about masculinity. While men were once discouraged from paying attention to their own appearance, that is no longer the […]

Two injectables that are discussed in the same breath are Botox and Dysport. This makes sense because they are both neuromodulators that use botulinum A toxin to temporarily relax muscles in the face. After these muscles have been frozen, the lines that normally form due to muscle movements have an opportunity to diminish or fade completely from the skin.
Facial Aesthetic Concepts has offered both Botox and Dysport to our patients for many years, during which time we have noticed a few key distinctions between the treatments. In this blog, we discuss some of the nuances to help you have the […]
