While Bridges to Beauty is a leading Shreveport plastic surgery practice, Dr. Bridges also offers a full line of non-surgical cosmetic procedures to help keep you looking and feeling beautiful, regardless of age.
Our non-surgical treatments are designed to maintain or restore youthful skin and facial contours without surgery, but they can also extend the longevity of more invasive procedures, such as a facelift.
Dr. Bridges offers only the most effective non-surgical beauty treatments to address common signs of aging and other skin-related issues, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Age spots, freckles, and dark patches (melasma)
- Hyperpigmentation
- Mild scars, including acne scars
- Acne
The following minimally or non-invasive procedures provide excellent results with relatively short treatment and recovery times.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are specialized cosmetic solutions of varying strengths that gently penetrate and peel away dead and damaged skin from the face, neck, or hands.
This treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles by removing the top layer(s) of skin to reveal newer, younger-looking skin underneath. A chemical peel can also significantly reduce the appearance of dark spots. Although these darkened areas of skin are often referred to as age spots, they are usually caused by exposure to UV light from sun exposure or tanning beds and may appear in younger populations as well.
Chemical peels can treat certain types of acne and help prevent permanent scarring by remodeling the top layer(s) of the skin. Scars (including those caused by acne) can be treated with chemical peels to make them less noticeable.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing provides results similar to chemical peels but can reach deeper skin layers to address more extensive discoloration and scarring.
Chemical peels and laser skin resurfacing can also improve the skin’s overall appearance and reduce many common signs of aging.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a popular injectable for treating dynamic lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contractions.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neuromodulator that restricts these muscle contractions to eliminate the lines and wrinkles they cause.
Injectable Facial Fillers
Injectable fillers differ from BOTOX® Cosmetic because they treat the static wrinkles caused by sun damage and aging. These facial fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid to create a gel-like substance that is injected under the skin to smooth out facial lines, wrinkles, and creases.
Thicker formulas are used to add volume and improve facial contours. Bridges to Beauty offers several injectable fillers, including:
Each filler has specific advantages; the injectable best suited for you will depend on your unique concerns and goals.
Microneedling in Shreveport, LA With Dermapen®
Dermapen® is a convenient microneedling treatment that offers several benefits, including the reduction of pore size, facial lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring.
Using this handheld device, our qualified and experienced provider uses the Dermapen® to create tiny holes or micro-injuries in the skin that trigger the body’s healing response and the production of new collagen. Dermapen® can be used on all skin types and is more effective than a derma-roller.
