This non-invasive treatment helps improve sagging skin and wrinkles. Endymed RF uses heat to stimulate your body to build new collagen.

Intensif RF is a non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure that combines microneedling and focused radiofrequency energy. The Intensif RF treatment uses micro-diameter needles to deliver radiofrequency energy safely into the deep layers of the skin. It treats both deep tissue as well as the higher-up layers of the skin and encourages new collagen growth.

This advanced intense pulsed light treatment diminishes sun damage, age spots, redness, and scars. A series of treatments is recommended to decrease the aged appearance of the skin. The most common areas treated are the face, neck, chest, and hands. BBL produces rejuvenation of the skin by reducing redness and pigmentation.

Rejuvapen Microneedling:

The Rejuvapen pen creates invisible micro-perforations to stimulate cell re-growth. This improves the appearance of the fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, surgical scars as well as skin discoloration. It is the perfect complement to other cosmetic procedures for facial enhancement with minimal downtime.

Dermasweep

Dermasweep is a crystal-free microdermabrasion device. It yields excellent results for superficial resurfacing of the skin and also permits post-resurfacing skin infusions. This is an excellent choice over traditional microdermabrasion.

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that contain special growth factors that accelerate healing, regenerate collagen in aging and damaged skin, improve skin texture, and stimulate hair growth.

Quick Answers to Common Queries

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our frequently asked questions for helpful information about Dr. Tina Ho’s facial plastic surgery practice, procedures, and patient care.

By focusing on reshaping structures of the neck and head, facial plastic surgeons are able to make a wide range of modifications to body parts. These alterations can be done to the chin, nose, ears, cheekbones, and neckline. Although many people visit a facial plastic surgeon to make cosmetic adjustments to features they would like to change, these surgeons are also a core part of improving the quality of life of those who suffer from diseases or injuries that could affect their appearance. 

With the help of a facial plastic surgeon, there are many facial customizations available to you. Patients who come to see Dr. Tina Ho, MD, are generally looking for quality cosmetic surgery in Philadelphia that they can trust.

The cost of facial surgery typically varies, and the price you pay depends on the amount of work that needs to be done. Before your surgical procedure, you willl have a thorough consultation with your surgeon to discuss everything you can expect from your operation.

You may also discuss potential cost estimates. Generally, the cost of plastic surgeries can range anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 or more.

It’s also important to note that your insurance may or may not assist with the procedure. Insurance coverage for facial plastic surgery typically depends on whether the procedures are for medical or cosmetic purposes. In most cases, your insurance will not cover cosmetic procedures such as plastic surgery, but there are payment plans available that can help you chip away at the total cost of your surgery. 

If you are interested in facial plastic surgery, it is essential to fully understand the costs that may be incurred from your procedure before you make the financial commitment. Make sure you speak with your surgeon about what fees you can expect to see and any other important details that may impact how your final cost will be factored. Nevertheless, you may be surprised at the range of fees that can go into plastic surgery, as some operations are much more affordable than others. 
At Tina Ho, MD, Facial Plastic Surgery, we strive to offer affordable pricing and top tier facial plastic surgery for our patients in Philadelphia and beyond.

To be eligible for plastic surgery, a patient must be 18 or older. However, to secure a consultation for a facelift or neck lift, there is no age limit. Individuals from their early twenties into their nineties can enjoy all the benefits a facelift or neck lift procedure has to offer.

It is essential to understand that you should be in good health before pursuing a facelift or neck lift, and this can become more challenging as you age. However, the best age to have a facelift or neck lift is different for each person. When the face and neck start to develop sagging skin, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and other signs of aging, this would be the best time to look into a facelift or neck lift procedure. You also want to consider that getting a facelift or neck lift too early on in life can only be so effective and may deliver minimal results.

Like most facial plastic surgery operations, costs can generally vary from person to person. A general baseline number you can work off of would be anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000. Then again, this can change drastically based on your location and the surgeon you decide to work with. Some of the costs that are considered for the procedure include anesthesia, medical tests, prescription medication, and surgeon fees. 

A few factors that make up the surgeon’s fee generally pertain to their experience, the type of procedure used, and the actual location of the office itself. Unless the nose job is performed for a medical reason, it is unlikely that insurance will help cover the costs of the operation. This is due to the cosmetic nature of the procedure. However, this does not mean payment plans with the surgeon’s office will not be available to you.

The fee structure for this procedure is a bit unique but also quite affordable when compared with other facial plastic surgeries. Botox is administered in units, and it generally takes around a minimum of 30 to 40 units or higher to achieve the desired results. Pricing may vary based on your surgeon, your location, and the number of units used, but each unit will cost $15. 

It is fairly common for a Botox procedure to incur a total cost of around $300 to $1000 or more. A few factors that play into the total cost include how much surface area is treated, the amount of product that was used, and the surgeon’s fee. Depending on how prominent the wrinkles and fine lines are, this alone could add to the cost, as these factors are directly correlated to how much product may be needed to achieve the results you are looking for.

In the case of Botox versus Juvederm, one product is not necessarily better than the other. However, both serve specific purposes. Botox is best suited for wrinkles that are visible when the face is moving, while Juvederm and other filler brands are the optimal choice for wrinkles that are consistently present when your face is relaxed. You should also know that Juvederm and other fillers tend to be more expensive, but deliver longer-lasting results than Botox. 

Juvederm is the better solution for wrinkles that are consistent and stubborn. In contrast, Botox is seen as a more temporary solution that will need to be repeated more often. Although Juvederm offers results that could last one to two years, it may not always be the best choice based on the current condition of your skin. Overall, a lot of this comes down to personal preference. Both options have their advantages, but Juvederm offers longer term results at a higher cost per treatment.

For those who are looking to modify the shape of their face, jawline contouring is an excellent solution, as the results can range from minimal to much more dramatic. As with any cosmetic procedure, it is a sensitive operation that requires a lot of discussion and planning beforehand. Jawline contouring procedures may be non-surgical, surgical, or both. 

A few key points surround the purpose of jawline contouring, as it aims to improve facial symmetry, proportionality, and overall youthfulness. Downtime after the procedure is relatively minimal, but it is possible to experience some bruising and swelling during recovery. Jawline contouring also includes the chin, and can help with reducing jowls, eliminating double chin features, and delivering a refined front and side profile.

Jawline contouring procedures can be relatively affordable compared with many other procedures. A jawline contouring surgery may cost roughly between $3,000 and $10,000 or more, depending on the work required. Filler starts at $800/syringe, and a minimum 2-4 syringes or more may be needed for adequate results (package specials start at $3000). Jawline contouring procedures are multi-faceted and have boosted the confidence of every one of Dr. Tina Ho’s patients.

You can expect the type of procedure and anesthesia that is chosen to also contribute to the overall cost. Unless the surgery is being performed for medical reasons, your insurance more than likely will not opt to cover the procedure. There are a number of materials that may be utilized in jawline contouring procedures, and these can vary based on the specific procedure used. Materials could include neurotoxins, fillers, and implants.
