No matter your skin type, there’s nothing better than leaving it to the professionals! In-office treatments give you the dramatic results you’re looking for, unrivaled by any skin care regimen.
How can you prevent the signs of aging?
First things first, you need to be aware of what causes wrinkles in the first place. Aging is caused by two main factors: genetics and environmental influences. Genetics plays a huge role in how quickly or slowly your skin ages, dictating your natural production of collagen– the protein that keeps your skin firm and elastic.
Environmental factors such as sun exposure, smoking, alcohol consumption, poor diet, lack of sleep, stress, and pollution also play a part in causing premature aging. These factors break down your natural production of collagen, leading to the premature appearance of facial lines. Fortunately, whether your signs of aging are due to lifestyle habits or genetics, in-office treatments can restore your skin health, and slow the formation of wrinkles.
The following are three effective treatments that will help smooth those wrinkles and give you back the youthful appearance you desire.
Botox
If you want to get rid of those fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes, then Botox injections may be just what you need. This popular cosmetic procedure is an injectable treatment used to relax overactive muscles in the face, which results in smoother-looking skin. As the number one cosmetic procedure in the world, this has been proven as a safe choice for smoothing dynamic, expression-based wrinkles.
How it works
Botox injections work by blocking nerve signals from reaching muscles in the face. As a result, the muscles relax and become less active. When these muscles contract during facial movements, they cause wrinkles in the face, becoming deep lines when left untreated. By relaxing the muscles, the overlying layer of skin is no longer able to repeatedly fold, eliminating lines.
Who should consider this treatment?
Anyone who wants to eliminate or minimize the appearance of facial wrinkles is a good candidate for this treatment. However, if you’ve already had several Botox treatments, you’ll probably see little improvement in the appearance of your wrinkles. While Botox is great for preventing and treating dynamic wrinkles, this will not smooth deeper lines you have when at rest.
Botox is a great addition when paired with other skin rejuvenating treatments.
Laser Genesis
If you’re seeing lines at rest, Laser Genesis is a great option for smoothing those static wrinkles. This treatment stimulates the natural production of collagen. In wrinkled areas, the newly formed collagen works to fill out moderate lines and create a smoother complexion.
How it works
Laser energy is used to deliver heat directly under the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and new skin cells to restore firmness and elasticity. It’s a quick 30-minute procedure and is non-invasive, gentle enough to be used on all skin types, and doesn’t require any downtime.
Who should consider this treatment?
Those with moderate facial lines will benefit most from this treatment. If you’re on a tight schedule and want youthful skin without committing to days or weeks of downtime, this is for you! This treatment can be repeated often until your desired results are achieved.
RF Microneedling
Finally, RF microneedling is another effective method of treating wrinkles. This noninvasive technique uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and increase blood flow to the skin. As a result, the skin becomes dramatically firmer and smoother.
How it works
RF Microneedling uses a handheld device with fine needles that emit radio frequency waves. These waves pass through the skin and tiny microchannels in the outer layer of the epidermis are made as the skin’s surface is simultaneously punctured. Because the radio frequency energy reaches the deeper layers of skin, the structure of the skin is dramatically remodeled, tightening and lifting any sagging as well. This is safe to use on all skin colors and skin tones.
Who should consider this treatment?
Those with more progressive signs of aging, such as deeper wrinkles and saggy skin, will see the improvements they’ve been looking for. As one of the most effective anti-aging treatments, RF Microneedling not only smooths wrinkles, but is suitable for addressing rough skin texture, age spots, crepey skin, sun-damaged skin, and other skin conditions.
