Skin Care Options to Reduce the Signs of Aging
As we age and our skin is exposed to the sun, skin cells become damaged producing blemishes, uneven skin tones, fine lines, and wrinkles. Wearing sunscreen and protective clothing can help slow the process but age inevitably catches up with us. If your skin is beginning to show signs of aging, there are many skin care treatments available to help you look younger.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are popular nonsurgical skin care treatments to help reduce the signs of aging and correct minor skin imperfections. Chemical peels use a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin, ridding the skin of old skin cells and stimulating new growth and collagen production.The results are fresher, softer, more elastic skin and a more youthful appearance.
Microdermabrasion
Another skin care treatment, similar to a chemical peel, is microdermabrasion. During this process, the skin is exfoliated with tiny crystals sprayed onto the skin which act as a mild sanding agent to rid the skinof old, damaged cells. Microdermabrasion is popular because it is suitable for all skin types and tones. The results are subtle; treatment can help soften fine lines, brighten dull skin, and improve the appearance of minor skin imperfections.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Laser skin rejuvenation uses light based lasers to address age spots, uneven skin tone, and other minor imperfections of the skin. Laser Phototherapy is one of the most popular treatments and is commonly used to treat the face, neck, hands, and legs. Treatments can be performed in about 20 minutes and with little to no recovery time. Patients can usually achieve their desired results within one to three treatment sessions. Many patients also elect to follow their laser skin rejuvenation treatment with Botox or dermal fillers. These are injectable treatments inserted via small needles to smooth wrinkles and fill and plump the skin to provide a more youthful, radiant glow.
Laser Skin Resurfacing and Tightening
The latest in skin tightening technology now provides the benefits of a ‘facelift' but without the surgery. The most popular laser skin resurfacing treatments use the Fractional Laser to improve skin texture, remove wrinkles, and stimulate collagen. Precisely concentrated light penetrates the treated area while leaving the surrounding tissue undamaged. The coagulated tissue in the treated area initiates the natural healing process and forms new, healthy tissue. Laser skin resurfacing and tightening treatments are performed over a period of sessions, usually four to six sessions two to four weeks apart. The results are tighter, more vibrant, youthful looking skin.
Sun damage, loss of collagen, blemishes, acne scars, wrinkles, and more are all factors that play a role in producing the signs of aging. Yet, with advanced state of the art technologies, there are many skin care options available to help you diminish the signs of aging and once again enjoy a youthful glow.
