4 Steps to Skin Rejuvenation
With so many anti-aging treatments and products on the market, how can you navigate towards what’s best for you?
While every individual will require different customization, these 4 steps are the building blocks leading to healthy, rejuvenated skin.
The 4 pillars of anti-aging treatments are:
- Correction
- Collagen Building
- Prevention
- Maintenance
Corrective treatments can mean different things depending on the skin concerns of each individual.
“How to correct dark spots and hyperpigmentation?”
Correction can refer to skin tone corrective treatments for example. This would mean utilizing treatments such as Moxi Laser Resurfacing, to correct hyperpigmentation and create a more even skin tone. If you have sun damage, acne scars, or melasma that has resulted in dark spots and uneven skin tone, the benefits from corrective laser treatments are phenomenal.
Another example of corrective treatments would be cosmetic injectables. Neurotoxins such as Daxxify or Botox can help to correct facial expression lines, resulting in a smoother appearance. Dermal filler can correct asymmetry, if this is a concern, facial balancing could be achieved with strategic filler placement.
“How to increase collagen production?”
Collagen building is incredibly important to have in every anti-aging treatment plan. After the age of 27, collagen production decreases by 1% each year. When collagen and elastin decline, skin loses elasticity. This results in noticeable signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging of the skin.
However, collagen production can be stimulated with medical aesthetic treatments. This means you don’t have to settle for losing collagen every year, you can build it back. Procedures such as microneedling have been shown to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Collagen building injectable treatments like Sculptra is another way to get your body to produce more of your own collagen. Essentially, without stimulation collagen production will steadily decline. Making treatments that stimulate collagen production a key ingredient in anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. Don’t overlook or underestimate the power of this step.
“Can Botox be used as a preventative?”
Prevention can refer to preventative treatments or skincare, such as using SPF to prevent sun damage. “Baby Botox” is growing in popularity as younger patients in their 20s-30s are getting small doses to prevent static lines from forming, before they become pronounced. Neurotoxin in general can be seen as a preventative treatment, as it can prevent new wrinkles from forming if treated regularly. The best way to tackle sun damage is to prevent it from ever happening. Broad spectrum sun protection used everyday can help prevent signs of aging such as dark spots and wrinkles caused by damaging sun exposure. This is increasingly important to remember after corrective treatments, so you can prevent dark spots from coming back.
“How can I maintain my results after Botox and laser?”
This brings us to maintenance. After correction and collagen building treatments have been performed, maintenance ensures lasting results. For neurotoxin this could look like touch up treatments every 4-6 months to maintain smooth wrinkle free skin. After a corrective series of laser resurfacing or microneedling, routine maintenance may look like annual or bi-annual treatments for upkeep. The biggest rule of anti-aging maintenance is having a solid skincare routine that maintains your results and protects your skin investments. Combining skincare products with medical aesthetic procedures is essential for maximizing results and optimizing skin health.
