As we age, the visible signs of skin aging, such as laxity and wrinkles, greatly impact your appearance and, in many cases, confidence. Charles S. Lee, MD, a highly skilled plastic surgeon, understands the concerns individuals have about rapidly aging skin and offers a range of effective treatment options to combat these common signs of aging. Explore the causes of aging skin and various treatment options available to address lax skin and wrinkles.
What Causes Rapid Aging?
Aging skin can be influenced by a variety of internal and external factors:
Internal factors: These include genetics, hormonal changes, and the aging process, all of which can lead to a decline in skin quality.
External factors: External factors like unprotected exposure to UV rays, environmental pollutants, tobacco use, and lack of skin care can speed up the aging process, contributing to the development of wrinkles and laxity.
Why Is Collagen Important?
Collagen, a protein found naturally in the body, provides structural support and helps skin maintain its firmness and elasticity. Without collagen, the skin can quickly begin to develop wrinkles. Many cosmetic procedures for skin have the goal of replacing the function of collagen in the skin or stimulating its production. The team at Enhance® Medical Center is currently running promotions on the following exciting and effective collagen-boosting procedures:
Dermal fillers: Injectable fillers composed of substances like hyaluronic acid (HA) are used to restore volume, fill in wrinkles, and promote a more youthful appearance.
Ultherapy: Ultherapy stands out as a non-invasive procedure that naturally stimulates the body’s collagen and elastin production. This innovative treatment delivers natural-looking results without the need for surgery or downtime, making it an appealing option for individuals seeking effective and convenient skin rejuvenation.
Sylfirm: Sylfirm X treatments use radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin laxity. Sylfirm microneedling, which is done in-office, is excellent for comprehensive improvement.
Maintain Your Youthful Results
To maintain the results of these and other anti-aging treatments, it is essential to consider regular treatment sessions and make positive lifestyle adjustments. Implementing a daily skincare regimen that includes moisturizing and daily sun protection can help maintain the skin’s health and appearance. Depending on the chosen cosmetic treatment, regular touch-up sessions may be recommended to sustain your results and address any new signs of aging. Making healthy lifestyle choices, including eating a balanced diet, participating in regular physical activity, and drinking enough water, can contribute to the health of your skin as well as the longevity of your results.
