The phrase "less is more" applies perfectly here, both to the procedures Dr. Taranow performs, and the incredible instrument he uses.
The only time your forehead is not stretching and folding is when you are asleep - and then only briefly. Not even the healthiest skin can survive that kind of constant workout without building permanent muscle creases. What is worse, all of these facial calisthenics we're always doing actually stretch the skin. So by one's thirties, there's already far more skin surface between the eyes and the hairline than is necessary to cover the subject.
A brow or forehead lift gently tightens the connections from behind the skin, and gets rid of some of the excess area. It shortens the muscles, so that most worry-lines and folds may not ever return. The brow lift is a more narrowly focused procedure that may be done in conjunction with other work. It's perfect for lifting the skin directly above and around the eyes. What does this do? It's very easy to see for yourself. Just go to a mirror and lift the skin above your eyebrows ever so slightly - not so much as to look unnatural. Hold this in mind, then release the skin. As the skin falls back, do your eyes suddenly make you look slightly more tired, perhaps even a bit angry or depressed? That's not you, that's just the tiniest bit of skin talking! And with these light lift procedures, less complicated than a full face lift but nonetheless powerfully effective, you don't have to accept what it's saying.
Another part of the "less is more" equation is the endoscope that Dr. Taranow uses to perform the procedure. The scope gives access to areas behind the skin that previously could not be touched without large incisions. The instrument is tiny, and Dr. Taranow requires only a small, inconspicuous area in which to perform remarkable transformations. The result: little discomfort, faster healing, and when it comes to leaving marks on the skin, here again, less is definitely more! These procedures leave virtually no visible signs at all that anything has been done. Now your brow and forehead tell a different tale, one of less worry, less weather and less age.
