Aging Like Fine Wine—8 Treatments Your Skin Needs Post 40
As we age, a lot of things change. Some of these changes have a lot to do with how we look, and many have a strong desire to look youthful beyond their 30s and age gradually and gracefully.
Thanks to med spas, staying young is easier than ever! Here are all the anti-aging treatments you can get once you hit the big 4-0!
Fillers are one of the most popular anti-aging treatments people go for in their 40s. They can help care for a range of age-related skin concerns, including volume loss and fine lines. The fillers are injected underneath the skin to add volume to specific parts of the face, giving a natural appearance.
There are different formulations and brands of dermal fillers, and each is designed to take care of specific concerns. For instance, some help with smile lines, while others may help add volume to sunken cheeks. Overall, they help you alter the way your face looks due to age without having to go under the knife. Injectable fillers typically last anywhere from 6-18 months before they have to be re-injected.
Chemical peels are also pretty popular because of the almost instant results they bring. A chemical peel is basically a skin resurfacing process that helps restore a youthful glow to your skin.
A chemical peeling solution is applied to your skin's top layer during the treatment. This helps to exfoliate and remove the top layer easily, allowing your skin to regrow smoothly. This helps you eliminate the layer of dead skin cells and the dull appearance caused by them, replacing it with younger-looking and more even skin.
One of the most popular chemical peels is the VI Peel Treatment, which helps with sun damage, acne, hyperpigmentation, and other age-related skin concerns.
PRF Injections or Platelet Rich Fibrin (Cosmetic PRF)
PRF face rejuvenation or cosmetic PRF are skin treatments that use your platelet-rich plasma to stimulate your skin's natural healing process. It's an injectable treatment that involves drawing your blood, then centrifuging it to separate the plasma from the blood to inject in specific parts of your face.
Cosmetic PRF treatments have proven incredibly effective for a wide range of skin concerns, especially in treating areas that are delicate and hard to reach. It offers complete rejuvenation of the skin and more long-lasting results. It’s also a safer treatment because it involves the use of a natural cosmetic injectable! This can also be injected in the scalp to help with hair loss!
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is another less invasive anti-aging treatment to improve your skin’s overall texture and tone. It’s basically a cosmetic procedure in which experts use fine crystal and a vacuuming technique to eliminate the layer of dead skin cells on your face.
Microdermabrasion can also be done on other body parts like hands and neck, but it's more popular for the face where people are hoping to remove things like age spots, wrinkles, scars, and fine lines. It's a quick treatment that effectively addresses superficial skin concerns, but you have to take multiple sessions before you see visible results with microdermabrasion.
Microneedling
Microneedling has become incredibly popular in recent years. While it’s being chosen by people of all ages and for all kinds of skin concerns, it was originally intended as an anti-aging treatment.
During the microneedling treatment, very fine micro needles are used to create tiny holes in the top layers of your skin. This helps kickstart your skin's natural healing process and stimulates collagen and elastin production, which tends to go down naturally with age.
So, in this way, microneedling gradually helps the skin heal itself, taking care of things like sun damage, fine lines, scars, and other skin concerns. At the same time, the very tiny non-visible holes that are created allow serums and other skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.
Botox Injections (Wrinkles Relaxers)
Thanks to its widespread usage, you've probably heard about Botox, especially by celebrities. It's currently considered one of the best anti-aging skincare options out there to get smooth and flawless skin free of wrinkles and lines.
Botox injections work by freezing specific parts of the muscles. As a result, muscle activity reduces, making your skin look tauter and smoother. Botox can be used for several parts of the body, but many people looking into Botox for anti-aging choose it to improve their facial features' appearance. This includes smoothing out the wrinkles on one’s forehead and crow's feet.
PDO threads are one of the latest cosmetic treatments, and they're both non-surgical and noninvasive but incredibly effective. PDO is an abbreviation for polydioxanone, a chemical compound that's been around for years in the medical field. The treatment helps to reverse aging signs that are present on the neck and face.
The treatment basically works by giving your face a lift by using a thread that's absorbable and inserting it into your skin to lift it in certain places. Over time, the thread dissolves, but it promotes collagen production and helps restore a youthful glow and more refined features.
The best part about PDO thread treatment is its long-lasting and gives immediate results!
Many different types of laser treatments are used for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing to give your skin a youthful glow by reversing the aging effects.
Most laser treatments use ultrasonic laser beams to destroy the skin's top layers, providing the necessary heat to the underlying skin to boost collagen production and improve skin tone and texture.
