Today, there are two top questions about facial aging. Certainly, you have some ideas about what you would like to accomplish. After all, facials have been popular for decades in the past. Yet, today there are many leveraged ways to help preserve a radiant glow for your facial skin while allowing yourself to age gracefully. So, let’s get right down to the top two most popular questions about facial aging.
How can I postpone facial aging?
Today, there are a number of ways you can postpone the signs of facial aging. Since certain fine lines, wrinkles, and skin folds are caused by sun damage, be certain to apply sunscreen SPT 15 or higher year round to prevent sun damage aging. Don’t forget that dry, rough skin is also a sun damage sign which may provide an incentive to ensure that you reapply sunscreen often throughout the day. In fact, a plastic surgeon can send you in the right direction to locate sunscreen that lasts longer on your face with a higher concentration level. Quarterly microdermabrasion is a step up from facials to maintain a stead fast skin renewal process which can compensate for the natural slowing down of the renewal process that occurs with aging. Other wrinkles such as crow’s feet, forehead lines and lines between the brows can be postponed and improved with the use of injectables such as Botox.
How can treat facial aging?
Quarterly chemical peels are a step up from microdermabrasion to accelerate the skin renewal process, brighten your skin, limit pore size, improve fine lines and tighten your skin during the mid-thirties. Thermage can tighten loose skin affected by gravity as well as bone and fat structure changes around the eyes, cheeks, jowls and neck. Laser therapy is a highly targeted approach to treat sun damage, scars, age spots and help improve facial sagging by stimulating collagen production. Facial fillers such as Restylane fill in skin folds such as smile and laugh lines. Facial implants can lift you skin and fill out deeper volume loss. The mini face lift offers a subtle improvement for facial sagging and select wrinkles once you are in the 40 something category, while helping to prevent more sagging and allowing for the delay of more invasive face lift surgery. Of course, a deeper plane face lift is available for late stage aging, if and when necessary.
