What Is Aging Skin?

As we age, our skin loses elasticity and becomes more vulnerable to wrinkles and sagging. It’s a fact of life, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do something about it! With the right cosmetic dermatology team, you can help reverse the visible signs of aging and renew your skin’s youthful appearance.

CAUSES

Aging skin results from both natural aging and environmental factors. While genetics cause gradual collagen loss and reduced elasticity, sun exposure, smoking, and pollution speed up these effects, leading to wrinkles and sagging.

RISK FACTORS

Genetics, fair skin, and frequent sun exposure make some people more prone to early skin aging. Lifestyle choices like smoking, poor diet, and stress also contribute, increasing the risk of visible aging signs.

SYMPTOMS

Aging skin shows wrinkles, dryness, and sagging as collagen decreases. It may become thinner, develop age spots, and have a rougher texture or visible blood vessels, giving it a dull, uneven appearance.

More About The Treatment Options

Wrinkle Relaxers

Wrinkle relaxers like Botox and Dysport are popular choices for achieving younger-looking skin. They help prevent and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyes, and around the mouth to soften facial expressions and create a more youthful appearance.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can help add volume, smooth wrinkles, and reduce the appearance of scars. They are an excellent option for reducing the signs of aging around your eyes, lips and cheeks while adding lift and contour to the face.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment to lift and tighten skin on the face, neck, and chin. It uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and create a firmer, younger-looking appearance with no downtime.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing

CO2 laser resurfacing is a non-invasive treatment that uses laser energy and ablative resurfacing technology to remove damaged layers of skin and produce new, healthy cells. It helps treat wrinkles and fine lines, improve texture and tone and reduce scarring, sun spots, and discoloration.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are designed to remove the outer layers of skin, revealing a smoother and more even complexion. Depending on the type of peel used and how deep it penetrates, chemical peels help lighten dark spots, reduce wrinkles, soften scarring, and improve overall textural irregularities for a brighter, fresher look.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to penetrate the skin and create tiny wounds. As the body’s natural healing response kicks in, it stimulates collagen production to help reduce wrinkles, restore volume, and improve the overall tone and texture of the skin.
