Abstract

One of the principle objectives of aesthetic medicine and surgery is the rejuvenation of the face. In aging, the face suffers changes in the principal structures: the bony skeleton, the adipose tissue, and the musculocutaneous system. Bringing the tissues to a more juvenile, more pleasant, and less severe appearance to the face reduces the annoying wrinkles and cutaneous excess folds. Bioresurfacing, Endermologie, and the transderm method are described.
