What We Do

THE AGING FACE IS DIFFERENT

The face is a particular challenging area due to it’s intricate anatomy, it contains vital functional structures, plus the aesthetic demands for this region are simply greater. The Face Clinic has a full focus on anatomically directed regeneration and lifting of the face, neck, skin, and chest area. Reversal of the aging process is skillfully performed with various surgical methods, as well as supporting non-surgical treatments.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Understanding the aging face – while small amounts of toxins & dermal fillers can be useful in younger patients, continued use will likely affect mimetic muscles and add weighted volume to the aging face. Adding fillers to lines, wrinkles & folds in a downward descending face worsens the aging appearance, and presents an unnaturally fluffed elongated face.

What need to happen is this – the deeper layers of the face called the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is descending, & requires repositioning to a higher anchor point on the face. This can only be achieved surgically. There are several ways to achieve this – from more involved deep plane facelifts, to less invasive endoscopic SMAS repositioning. Each case will require a different approach. Dr. Destang favors minimally aggressive surgical techniques (The Uplift™) that can be safely performed under sedation. 

If your required surgical approach is not suitable for our clinic, Dr. Destang maintains an extensive global network of world-renowned facial surgeons, and can guide you accordingly. 

Our full clinical suite manages both skin aging & facial aging. Stem cell SVF treatments can be integrated into any procedure for true aging reversal.
