TREATMENT OF AGING SKIN:

Approach to the treatment of aging begins with understanding the skin changes with age. As the skin ages, there is a progressive slowing down of skin turn-over resulting in dull skin with increasing sunspots and age spots. In addition, collagen and elastin production also slows down resulting in thin skin that begins to wrinkle.

Factors that contribute to the appearance of aging skin:

  1. UV damage from the sun accelerates collagen break-down and causes hyperpigementation injury to the skin.
  2. Gradual reduction of fat cells in the deeper skin layers causes loose, saggy skin, with more pronounced lines and crevices. Loss of fat in the cheeks, temples, and around the eyes results in a sunken, skeletal appearance to the face
  3. Gradual gravity effect on the skin can shift fat and saggy skin around the jaw areas creating a boxy appearance of the face. In addition, gravity effects areas around the eyebrows, eyelids and cheeks with a resulting “melting” effect of the aging skin.
  4. Over time, there is a decrease in the production of natural oils, resulting in dry itchy skin. Dry, dull skin further accentuates skin wrinkling.
  5. Smoking will accelerate the skin aging process

There are various options available to treat and improve the appearance of the aging skin.

A successful anti-aging treatment program successful begins with a detailed skin analysis. Specialized skin analysis under 6 different light conditions, including UV light will identify the areas of photodamage and greatest degree of collagen and elastin loss.

    • Skin Microneedling uses multiple small needles to pierce the skin. This micro-injury forces the skin to heal in an organized manner, stimulating collagen and elastin. This is highly effective for treating surface imperfections, including rough skin, fine lines and wrinkles. It can be applied particularly around the eyes where laser therapy cannot be applied. The resulting treatment of the aging skin results in smoother, tighter with an overall improvement in texture, fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Laser skin resurfacing: Using targeted laser energy the dermal layer of the aging skin can be selectively heated to stimulate collagen and tighten pores for an overall smoother appearance.
  • SKIN TIGHTENING AND FAT REDUCTION:

    • Low level red and Infrared light Phototherapy uses non-thermal and non-invasive light. This gentle treatment can be applied to the aging skin to reduce fat deposits around the jawline, stimulate collagen and improve skin complexion. It is often used in combination with radiofrequency therapy for optimal beneficial effects.
