Non-surgical treatments soften the signs of aging and refresh the skin without an operation: smoothing fine lines, replacing lost volume, evening out tone, clearing sun damage, or reducing unwanted hair, all in-office. Dr. Virginia Bailey, a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon in Austin, matches each treatment to your skin type, concern, and goals, and helps you weigh whether a non-surgical or surgical route makes sense. You might begin with one treatment or build a plan over time. Results differ from person to person.
Start with the concern, and the treatment follows.
Botox relaxes the muscles behind forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, smoothing the wrinkles they create. Results appear within a few days to a week and last three to four months.
Dermal fillers rebuild fullness in the cheeks, lips, and folds with hyaluronic acid gels, for an immediate but temporary result that can last from six months to two years, depending on the filler.
Kybella uses deoxycholic acid to break down submental fat over a series of sessions, without an incision. Once those fat cells are gone, they do not return.
Several treatments resurface at different depths: a chemical peel for tone and fine lines, IPL photo rejuvenation for sun spots and redness, and microdermabrasion for a gentle refresh. For deeper renewal, skin rejuvenation and laser resurfacing combines these approaches.
Laser hair removal disables the follicle with targeted light; most patients need four to eight sessions to treat the majority of follicles.
At consultation, Dr. Bailey looks at your skin and concerns and then lays out a treatment plan. Every plan is individual.
Many patients combine treatments to cover more than one concern, or space them across visits as a maintenance plan. Botox and dermal fillers pair often, since one relaxes muscle-driven lines while the other restores volume. Resurfacing treatments like a chemical peel, IPL, or microdermabrasion are frequently sequenced with broader skin rejuvenation for tone and texture. Suitability and timing hinge on your skin, the treatments chosen, and how it responds. Because most involve little or no downtime, they are easy to layer into a routine. Dr. Bailey sets an appropriate schedule at consultation. Results and downtime differ between patients.
Dr. Virginia Bailey is a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon in Austin who offers non-surgical care alongside her surgical practice. She matches each treatment to the patient’s skin type and concern rather than working from a template, and she favors a conservative, natural-looking result. Her clinical team supports the plan from start to finish. Results differ between patients.
The practice offers Botox, dermal fillers, Kybella, chemical peels, laser hair removal, IPL photo rejuvenation, microdermabrasion, and laser skin resurfacing. Some soften lines or replace volume; others improve tone and texture or reduce hair. The right choice is matched to your skin at consultation.
Downtime tracks the treatment. Botox, dermal fillers, IPL, and microdermabrasion usually let you return to daily activities the same day, while medium or deep chemical peels and laser resurfacing can involve several days of redness or peeling. Dr. Bailey explains what to expect for your specific plan. Downtime depends on the treatment and your skin.
Results are temporary and vary by treatment. Botox generally holds three to four months, and hyaluronic acid fillers commonly last six months to two years, while resurfacing builds gradually with good skincare and sun protection. Dr. Bailey reviews expected duration and upkeep at consultation. Outcomes vary between patients.
Non-surgical treatments address skin quality, volume, and fine lines, and are different in scope from surgical procedures. Some concerns, such as significant loose skin, are better suited to surgery. Dr. Bailey reviews whether a non-surgical or surgical approach fits your goals during consultation.
Most people in good health with realistic, patient expectations are suitable. A lot rides on your skin type and the specific concern; darker skin tones, for instance, need careful evaluation before certain peels and light-based treatments. Dr. Bailey confirms candidacy and checks for any skin sensitivities.
