It's no secret that aging is a natural process. But it doesn't have to be a slow, miserable one. These days, there are tons of anti-aging treatments available to help you look your best and feel your best—long before "old" becomes the new "normal."
Retinol
Retinol is a form of vitamin A that’s used to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as decrease the severity of sun damage.
Retinoids are natural skin care ingredients derived from plants, but they’re also synthetic versions available in over-the-counter products. Some people have an adverse reaction to retinoids; therefore, they should do a patch test before using any product containing this ingredient.
Retinoids are powerful antioxidants that help fight free radicals responsible for prematurely aging your skin and causing age spots or other discoloration problems. They work by unclogging pores and stimulating cell turnover so that your complexion looks brighter with fewer blemishes or discolorations such as age spots or freckles
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are the least expensive and most common anti-aging treatments. They work by removing the top layer of skin, exposing new cells that appear smoother and more youthful. Chemical peels can also be used to treat acne or age spots as well as prepping your face for other procedures like laser resurfacing or Botox injections.
The procedure involves a dermatologist applying a chemical solution to your skin, which causes it to peel off in layers over several days or weeks depending on how deep they go. The results are similar to those of microdermabrasion but without all the extra scrubbing!
Microneedling and Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. Collagen induction therapy (known by its more common name, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing), uses heat to shrink and tighten pores, stimulate new cell growth, and cause collagen production. Both procedures are frequently used for acne scars or wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Because no incisions are made during Microneedling or fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, recovery is relatively quick—usually one week with minimal visible side effects such as redness or swelling—and there’s no need for anesthesia during either procedure so you can go about daily life immediately after treatment!
Medical-Grade Facials
A medical-grade facial is a treatment that uses medical-grade products, such as those used in the hospital or immediately after surgery. The product is purchased by a medical professional and delivered to the spa, where it's applied to your face by a trained aesthetician. This type of facial is usually performed in a medical spa (as opposed to at a day spa), because you need access to equipment like vacuum pumps and hot compressors that can't be found at other locations.
The experience is similar to getting an antibiotic shot—you'll lie down on the table while someone applies something cold or hot to your face, depending on what they're doing during each phase of treatment. If their hands are cold enough for you to feel it through their gloves, I'd ask them if they could wrap up some hand warmers before starting work on my skin again next time around!
Microdermabrasion and Dermaplaning
Microdermabrasion is a gentle exfoliation treatment that resurfaces the skin with an abrasive solution. This easy-to-perform procedure can be used to treat fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and larger pores. Dermaplaning is another noninvasive treatment that uses a scalpel to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving you with smoother results than you'd get from regular exfoliation alone!
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Do you have years of sun damage in your skin, or are you just looking for a way to look younger? If so, laser skin resurfacing might be the treatment for you! Laser skin resurfacing uses a laser to remove damaged or dead skin cells. Because it's a noninvasive procedure, it can be used on all parts of the body: face, neck and chest. You can even use laser skin resurfacing to treat acne scars and fine lines or wrinkles around your eyes.
IPL Photofacials
What it is:
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a non-invasive treatment that uses a light-emitting diode (LED) to deliver light energy through the skin. IPLs are among the most effective ways to reduce sun damage and reduce or eliminate the appearance of scars, spots, freckles and other discoloration on your face and body.
How it works:
This treatment uses an intense pulse of controlled light aimed at individual lesions or areas of concern for up to several minutes at a time. The precise amount of energy delivered by each pulse is calculated by our technicians prior to each session. The duration depends on factors such as your skin type, age and desired results. After treating an area with these high-energy pulses—often called flashes—the pigment beneath can be damaged enough so that when it heals over time it leaves behind less noticeable scarring or discoloration than before.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
If you’re looking for an anti-aging treatment that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, then Botox or dermal fillers are your best option. Both treatments are effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, but they do it in different ways.
Botox is a toxin injected into the skin to paralyze muscles, which reduces wrinkling. Dermal fillers are also injected into the skin to plump it up by filling out any hollow areas on your face caused by aging or sun damage (or both).
There are so many anti-aging treatments available now that it can be hard to know where to start. It's important to talk with a licensed professional who can help you choose the right treatment for your skin and budget. In this blog post, we've outlined some of the most popular options out there and explained why they work.
