50 is not a big number! It is annoying when your face starts to show signs of aging while you are still young at heart. It is impossible to stop aging altogether but you can choose skincare treatments like Morpheus8 skin tightening and Botox to gracefully navigate the process.

What to Expect from Aging Skin?

Components like collagen and elastin present in our skin give us a youthful look, but as we age, these components start to deteriorate. With the loss of collagen and elastin, aging skin starts to lose its elasticity. This makes sagging a common problem among people over 50. 

Other than this, you might also notice more wrinkles, fine lines, eye creases, deeper marionette lines, and nasolabial folds. You might not be able to avoid these effects altogether but with a good skincare routine and occasional aesthetic treatments, one can reduce these signs of aging. Here are some aesthetic procedures to consider if you want to turn back the clock. 

Chemical Peels

If you are new to aesthetic treatments and want to try something mild for the first time, then chemical peels are the best choice. Chemical peels are generally used on the face, neck, and hands. They improve the appearance of the skin at these parts by removing the outer layer of dead skin. The new skin that appears from under the removed layer will have a smoother appearance. 

There are different types of chemical peels and you can also select the ingredients in them according to your skin type and the problem you are trying to address. For example, if you aim for deeper penetration, then choose glycolic chemical peels but for sensitive skin, lactic chemical peels are the best choice. 

You might feel a burning sensation for up to 10 minutes during the procedure which can be eased with either a cold compress or pain medication. Chemical peels are usually used to treat:

• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Age spots
• Sun damage
• Mild scars

 Microneedling

We know that it’s not an ideal name for an aesthetic treatment but you will be surprised by the result it can produce. Microneedling is a safe procedure that can improve the skin’s appearance by making it look healthier. 

The process involves using microneedles to prick the skin. This initiates the body’s natural healing response which in turn accelerates the production of elastin and collagen. With increased production of collagen and elastin, the skin gets its youthful bounce back. 

Morpheus8 skin tightening is the latest technique in microneedling. It helps greatly in treating wrinkles and fine lines. It also helps the skin absorb skincare products better. Hence, we would suggest you consider using elastin serum with a microneedling procedure.

Dermal Fillers

If you want to address the problems of sagging skin, dermal fillers must be your choice. These dermal fillers can add volume to your skin resulting in smoother and plumper skin. You can choose from different options available like Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with advice from your esthetician.

Though dermal fillers can effectively address the loss of volume, it is a temporary solution. You might want to get these fillers once every six months or once a year. If you are unsatisfied with the results, then consider choosing a facelift. 

Microdermabrasion

If your skin texture and tone bother you the most, then consider choosing microdermabrasion. This deep exfoliating procedure can brighten and even out your complexion by removing the outer layers of the skin. For treating deeper wrinkles, dermabrasion is recommended. 

This is a safe procedure for all skin types and colors. The patient might experience a slight burning sensation which will subside within minutes. Microdermabrasion has minimal recovery time but excessive sun exposure should be avoided for about six months for the effect to sustain.

Botox

Botox is the most popular aesthetic treatment preferred all over the world. The procedure involves the insertion of small doses of botulinum toxin type A into the area to be treated. This reduces muscle activity in the specific area thus preventing the muscles from contracting too much. This prevents new wrinkles and fine lines from forming. 

Botox treatment is effective in reducing the visibility of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. The results might take 24-72 hours to set in. Botox is a temporary treatment and the effects of the treatment eventually fade as the effect of the toxin reduces.
