Doctor Bomer explains how she approaches each Liquid facelift differently to achieve the most natural filler results for the face and she discusses her methods for success.
Restoring Volume Loss from the Aging Process to Achieve Natural Filler Results.
At Rejuvent, Liquid Facelift preparations start with a detailed analysis of facial features with photography which is standardized to show the face accurately with normal shadows and consistent poses so that they can be used not only to assess volume and shape, but also to create comparison photographs of before to after the procedure to assess the changes to the face after volume augmentation. Photos are taken from every angle, with the patient making expressions and at rest.
Detailed Clinical Photography to Measure Before and After Results
It is important to include dynamic muscular contraction poses in the photos to assess the structure of the face with muscles contracting before and after the procedure as the face must also move normally to achieve a natural result.
Each face will go through similar processes of bone and fat loss from aging. Through research in the field of aging and facial anatomy, we now understand how aging affects bone and fat pad loss and distribution in the face.
During photographic analysis, the zones of aging are identified and correlated with bone and fat loss.
We ask our patients to bring in pictures of themselves in their 20’s and 30’s to compare to current as another tool to assess the bone and fat loss.
Skin is also assessed. Aged skin adds to the sagging and wrinkling in the face. The aging skin can be improved to a small degree with hyaluronic fillers, but the most improvement comes from daily medical-grade skincare and monthly skin treatments that boost collagen, elastin and water content in the skin. Rejuvent patients receive a customized skin regimen to help improve their skin.
After viewing photographs, a plan for volume is made in accordance with the analysis and a plan is made for augmenting bone and fat and skin that directly correlates to zones of volume loss.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers and Why Doctor Bomer Prefers Them
Hyaluronic fillers are my volumizers of choice. It is important that they are not permanent because our underlying structure continues to shrink with time. When we augment a 45-year-old face, that face will be smaller and have different proportion when it is 65 years old and if the augmentation that looked good at 45 is still present at 65, it will be too big and in the wrong place because the skeleton has become smaller and different in overall shape.
Complications of infection, vascular compromise, and incorrect placement can occur with volumizing substances; it is important in my opinion to work with hyaluronic acids because they can be dissolved rapidly with hyaluronidase (Vitrase), an enzyme that dissolves the filler, the most important tool in curing an infection, relieving vascular compromise and correcting the incorrect placement of filler.
The hyaluronic fillers have unique properties that must be understood to best imitate bone, fat and naturally plump skin wrinkles and scars.
Products Dr. Bomer uses on a Liquid Facelift
Dr. Bomer uses Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin for wrinkle relaxers. She uses Restylane, Refyne, Defyne, Lyft, Silk, Juvéderm, Voluma XC, Volbella XC, Juvéderm XC, and Juvéderm Ultra Plus. Her technique does not use all wrinkle relaxers and fillers without her assessment of the patient’s face, skin, volume loss, and bone structure. As each product has different characteristics, Dr. Bomer customizes her selection to the patient’s needs.
Liquid Facelift Volume Restoration Occurs in Layers.
To maintain a natural look it is important to commit to volumizing as part of the aging process. In the 30’s, sessions for most are every 8 to 12 months, 40’s every 6-8 months, 50’s every 5-6 months and in the 60’s every 3-4 months. There are individual differences with the schedule.
Between sessions, the filler previously placed has diminished to some degree and the aging process has continued. It is best to start volumizing when volume loss becomes apparent in the 30’s, but the process can begin at any age. When volumizing starts in later years, a much larger volume is required to imitate the restoration bone and fat loss that has occurred. If the process has started in the 30’s and continued into the 60’s, the volume required to maintain the curves of youth at each session increases with time, but will never require the larger volumes needed in those who start later in life. A youthful skin that has been maintained with daily medical-grade skincare is required to look healthy and youthful and less filler is required to achieve the curves of youth will fillers.
Using Hyaluronic Fillers Off-Label
It is important when augmenting the face, that the facial zones connect and the whole facial shape is addressed at each session. For this to occur, the filler must be placed in zones that have not yet been formally FDA approved requiring off-label filling. Safety is of the utmost importance which is why the process of non-surgical facelifts should be in the hands of experts who are well trained and understand the complicated 3-dimensional facial anatomy.
Post Filler Procedure Photography – A Very Important Step for Natural Results!
Post-procedure photography to assess the results from augmentation with fillers is very important in the rejuvenation process. We must asses the changes that occurred from the procedures and critically evaluate that the natural curves of youth are attained and the overall shape of the face is more youthful and attractive.
It is essential that the injector analyze how aging has affected an individual’s face with standardized photography and assess age-related bone and fat loss, overall shape for attractiveness and the connection between facial zones.
At Rejuvent, we ask our patients to return for a 3 week follow up appointment, that is when we take post filler appointment photos. We see that many providers do not go to the expense of another appointment but photos that are taken immediately after filler injections do not show real results, because of swelling and irritation.
Here are a few examples of Long Term rejuvenation with non-surgical facelifts. To view more visit our Liquid Facelift Gallery.
Dr. Bomer’s Tip for Beautiful and Natural Filler Results – Real Proven Results
It is helpful to have pictures from the late 20’s and early 30’s as a reference to understand each person’s facial shape and anatomical relationships when they actually had the volume of youth.
The plan for filler placement is critical and it is created by a synthesis of information gained from pictures of the face at an earlier age, current pictures which show age-related volume loss and understanding how the visual signs of aging correlate to where there has been bone loss and fat loss, the contributions of aging skin and the way the face looks and feels upon examination. The filler is placed in accordance with the predetermined plan and evolves into natural-looking facial relationships as the injector assesses the changes during the procedure. It is critical the injector understands the physiology of aging, the 3-dimensional anatomy of the face and has the eye of an artist to accurately see the shapes of the face and how they can be restored into the curves of youth with natural-looking volumization. Photography is critical to evaluate the changes that have occurred from aging and the liquid facelift results and is an important part of the visual medical chart for each patient.
At Rejuvent, our patients are used to real proven non-surgical facelift results and they can see the transformation Dr. Bomer’s technique achieves in their before and after photographs. Achieving natural filler results is much more than just training, the injector must be an expert in facial anatomy, an expert in each filler and wrinkle relaxer’s characteristic, have the artistic ability to foresee results, the skill, and the judgment of when and where to inject.

So by now, you might have heard that chemical sunscreens can linger on your skin. At Rejuvent, we stay on trend with scientific discoveries and offer our patients many options for sun protection. COOLA is an amazing brand that we are happy to sell at Rejuvent and RejuventSkincare.com.
Do you know the difference between Chemical and Mineral sunscreens? Chemical sunscreens absorb the UV rays and break them down so they do not harm your skin. Mineral sunscreens provide a barrier on the screen so the UV rays are scattered and not absorbed.
Does that mean that mineral sunscreens do not contain chemicals?
No. Most matters on earth are made of chemicals. Mineral sunscreen just does not contain certain chemicals.
Are COOLA mineral products safe for the environment?
Yes. All COOLA products sold at Rejuvent are reef safe and do not harm the environment. They are also vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, paraben-free and not tested on animals
Why is Rejuvent selling COOLA products?

Many of the top-selling fragrances in department stores contain petrochemicals and even hormone disruptors. In some cases, they aren’t even listed on the labels but were discovered through chemical analysis. Being in close proximity to someone wearing too much perfume is often unpleasant. In contrast, Kuumba Made was born out of love for the natural world. Their products are crafted using flowers and herbs that are either grown in their own organic garden, harvested at certified organic farms, or ethically wild-harvested. Dr. Bomer fell in love with the long-lasting fragrance oils and realized that they were going to be loved by many when she noticed all the compliments she received while wearing them at work. We are happy to share this amazing brand with our patients and know these scents will bring joy to many.

What else is summertime notorious for, other than having fun?
We all know about summer tans and the long-lasting damage it causes to our skin. But, do you know about other summer skin concerns that go hand in hand with summer?
Summer Skin Concerns:
Clogged Pores – In the summer, as humidity and heat increase, so does the production of sebum in our skin. The heat opens your pores more and sebum, debris, and bacteria can build up and increase the likelihood of pimples and blackheads. What can you do to minimize clogged pores in the summer? Add a gentle exfoliation to your skincare routine. We love products such as Jan Marini Skin Zyme Mask and Revision Skincare Black Mask; use them once or twice a week for best results.
Apply a nighttime lotion to exfoliate dead cells. We love the SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight as it promotes exfoliation, fortifies the skin barrier and enhances the skin’s radiance.
Dull skin – Dead skin cells, dehydration, and environmental aggressors can be causing that dull look. What can you do to unveil radiant skin and revive dull skin?
Use gentle exfoliation to start so the dead cells and debris are removed, then make sure you use antioxidant-rich products every day. Antioxidants can give you extra protection from the sun’s UV rays and environmental aggressors such as pollution, blue light, and can even boost the efficacy of your sunscreen. Antioxidant-rich products are a must if you are serious about your skin! Some of our favorites are SkinMedica Lumivive, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF, Revision Skincare C+ Correcting Complex, and Jan Marini C-ESTA Face Serum.
Dry and Dehydrated Skin – Yes, even in the summer, your skin can get dehydrated. Airplane travel and air conditioners are notorious for drying your skin. Besides using a great medical grade moisturizer, remember to carry a spray to add a boost of water during the day. We love Colorescience Hydrating Mist, just close your eyes and spray away the dryness.
Remember to always apply broad-spectrum SPF and enjoy every second of this amazing summer!
1- Exfoliate your skin to unveil clearer, fresh skin – Exfoliation removes dead skin and debris and improves how other products get absorbed into the skin. You should exfoliate your face and body routinely without overdoing it. Scrubs are great before the shower, before self-tanners, or just at the end of the day to relax and kick your skin into repair mode.
2- Drink more water – higher temperatures and more time outdoors can lead to dehydration which is not good for the skin or body. Remember to drink 64 ounces of water daily!
3- Protect your skin – Apply SPF to your face and body (yes, even in cloudy days), wear a wide brim hat, wear protective SPF clothing and don’t forget to reapply it. Also, don’t skimp on it, you need to cover your skin with it. Face and body! The great news is that there are lots of amazing sophisticated formulations to choose from. Even a great powder sunscreen that can be applied over makeup!

5- Eat an antioxidant-rich diet – Yes, you can eat foods to improve your skin! Add cantaloupes, papaya, and antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies to your diet, they are delicious and work to help fight oxidation and free radical damage from the inside!
6- Don’t forget your hands – No one likes alligator looking skin. In the summer, the thin skin in our hands can look drier and even older because of the loss of hydration. The great news is that there are great formulations created to treat specifically the skin on your hands!
7- Lips need special care too – The wind and sun can cause havoc on the delicate skin on our lips, be sure to add a moisturizer and SPF product to your lips! Shop lip treatments

8- Use specialized skincare products on your body – Let’s face it, more of our body is visible during the summer months. There are some steps you can take before summer to prep your skin for shorts and bathing suit season. But even if you did not start in the autumn or winter, you can still start now! Prescription grade skincare for the body can smooth out cellulite, fade dark spots, improve uneven skin, tighten lax skin and rejuvenate the skin on your body.

9- Cold Showers and Face Mists – Avoid steamy hot showers in the summer as they tend to dehydrate your skin. Take a few cold showers instead as they help you keep your pores unclogged and prevent acne breakouts, plus they are very refreshing! Face mists can add a pop of hydration to your face, neck and decollete and may make your skin look dewy and fresh!
Growth factors are proteins that play a vital role in maintaining healthy skin cell function and are plentiful in young skin. They increase collagen elastin production and improve wound-healing by repairing and regenerating healthy tissue. Their primary job is to signal fibroblast cells to produce collagen, which activates anti-aging pathways and builds a stronger dermis with a plump, smooth appearance. As we age, growth factors begin to dwindle and fibroblasts become sluggish, causing decreased production of collagen and the signs of aging become more apparent.
What do Growth Factors do?
They help your skin produce more collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin strengthen the dermis and provide better support for the epidermis!
How do growth factors work?
They advance skin tissue repair and recovery.
They promote the creation of collagen and fibers, which give the skin support and elasticity.
How do I choose which one to use?
Different formulas offer Growth Factor benefits for all skin types. In addition to Growth Factors, BioCream and BioGel by Neocutis are specifically formulated to aid in healing post-procedure skin. BioGel is a lightweight formula suited for oily skin types, and BioCream is deeply hydrating for dry skin. TNS Recovery Complex and TNS Essential Serum by SkinMedica contain Tissue Nutrient Solution with over 100 Growth Factors. TNS Essential Serum is a dual-chambered pump containing one chamber with TNS Recovery Complex Serum, and the second with APS Corrective Complex – a blend of peptides, vitamin C, and other antioxidants.
A balanced skin care program including growth factors will help diminish fine lines and wrinkles and restore youthful tone and texture.
Here are the Growth Factors recommended by Dr. Bomer:
This means that the sunscreen must protect you against ultra-violet A and UVB rays.
(UVA = Aging) UVA rays reach the skin deeper and cause your skin to wrinkle and age faster.
(UVB = Burning) UVB rays reach the outer layer of your skin and cause your skin to tan and sunburn.
Indoor tanning contains UVA and UVB rays.
Both UV rays work in conjunction and cause severe damage to your skin.
UVB rays are responsible for the color change of the skin as well as the sunburn.
UVB rays are responsible for the majority of skin cancers.
UVA rays are also present on cloudy/rainy days and 80% of those rays penetrate through clouds!
UVA penetrates the skin more deeply than UVB and does not produce any color change.
UVA are present with relatively equal intensity during all daylight hours throughout the year!
Did you know that 90% of the skin aging signs are caused by day-to-day UV exposure?
Is there a difference between “waterproof” and “water-resistant?”
How well the sunscreen stays on the skin after swimming, bathing or perspiring is just as important as the SPF level. The FDA considers a product “water-resistant” if it maintains its SPF level after 40 minutes of exposure to water. “Waterproof” products must maintain the SPF level after 80 minutes of water exposure.
Chemical Sunscreen vs. Physical Sunscreen
Physical Sunscreens work by deflecting sun rays away from the skin. Chemical Sunscreens work by scattering and absorbing radiation from sun rays before they can interact with the skin.
How can they affect the skin?
Physical sunscreens: Titanium dioxide can be problematic for some people. (If you break out from mineral makeup and physical sunscreen, titanium dioxide could be the cause.)
Zinc oxide is generally safe. It can be used on delicate skin and is the main ingredient in diaper rash creams.
Chemical sunscreens: Chemical sunscreens tend to be more irritating to the skin.
It can make your eyes sting and water if it gets in your eyes. Some can cause allergic reactions.
When do they start working?
Physical sunscreens: Starts protecting immediately upon application. Chemical sunscreens: Must wait 20 minutes after application for effective sun protection.
The Rules of SPF Sunscreens:
Wear Sunscreen the right way!
The order is important.
Apply it last, after your moisturizer. Before Makeup.
Wait for it to work!
Chemical sunscreens need 20-30 minutes to form a protective layer.
Physical sunscreens do not need time, they work immediately.
Some products combine both so figure at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.

For your face: ¼ teaspoon for the liquid type, size of a penny for the thick type
For your body: 2 tablespoons or 1 ounce

Re-apply!
If you are going to be outdoors, re-apply it every 2 hours!
Apply after sweating or swimming!

Use it every day!

Using a sunscreen on your lips keeps your lips feeling and looking healthy and vibrant and protects in two ways. First, lips naturally have thin skin, and sun exposure damages collagen and elastin making lips even thinner and less plump. Second, lacking SPF in your lip products puts you at an increased risk of skin cancer.
Lip gloss without SPF might increase the possibility of developing skin cancer by acting as a kind of magnifying glass for the sun’s rays. Consider using a lip gloss with SPF, or foregoing the lip gloss completely and switching to a matte lip product with SPF. Apply your regular sunscreen over your lips, and layer with your SPF lip balm throughout the day to maintain protection.
