Dr. Usha Rajagopal may be one of San Francisco’s leading cosmetic surgeons, but that doesn’t mean she can only help you if it requires a surgical procedure. There are all kinds of non-surgical cosmetic procedures on offer at the San Francisco Plastic Surgery and Laser Center. Anti-aging skin and eye treatments are quite popular. In our constant pursuit to keep our past, present, and potential future patients informed, we found this great article by Melissa Chapman talking about some options for dark circles and those pesky wrinkles surrounding our eyes.

Here’s a preview of Melissa’s article:

When I think about a person’s beauty, I immediately look at one’s eyes and the skin surrounding them. Unfortunately nothing causes a person to show their age quite how like wrinkles and dark circles in the eye area do. Case in point, my stunning mother-in-law passed her genes to my husband, who just like she did, now displays sunken-in, dark-colored eye sockets which magnifies the aging skin under his eyes. While my husband currently refuses to enhance his eyes with any cosmetic procedure – I figured it wouldn’t hurt to see what anti-aging eye treatments are available in case my family decided to gift him with a new “look” for his sixtieth birthday, which happens to be fast-approaching!

So just what non-surgical remedies are there to combat wrinkles, crow’s feet, “elevens”, bags, and dark circles under the eyes? While most of us know about Botox and other neuromodulators as well as collagen fillers to help aging eyes, in addition to the use of lasers and radio frequency techniques. The question is – how do all of these procedures work when it comes to our aging eyes? Dr. Heather Furnas shares some insights into the latest developments in anti-aging eye treatments, and how we can all get that youthful look without surgery – or at least potentially stave it off for a wee bit.

Perhaps one of today’s best known non-surgical cosmetic procedures is botox. From celebrities to the neighbor down the street, everyone seems to be getting a little here and a little there. Botox can help alleviate wrinkles and can be applied to number of areas on the face. Botox procedures can be done in a 10-15 minute visit to a doctors office and results can start to be seen in just 3-7 days while results can last for up to 4 months!  Botox is relatively safe and easy procedure to bring a fresh youthful look back to your face.

Before having a botox procedure performed, it’s important you know what botox is, how it works, where it can work and how much a general procedure should cost!

Here’s a preview to an article and quick reference guide on the basics of botox:
