05 Dec Gravity Sucks: Love Your Face and Body this coming year
We don’t need to be told what to do for our bodies but a reminder does not hurt. Eating well, resting, exercise, hydration can all help your skin and body of course. But, Unfortunately, even if that takes place, nothing will firm up your face or prevent the effects of gravity. Of course using sunblock daily, eating well and avoiding smoking will help, but nothing can reverse facial aging. We can help you stall it a bit however starting with some no down time procedures at Skin Specifics.
The face ages in 5 ways, we each go through it. Treatment choices depend on your priorities, tolerance and financial means.
| Facial Aging | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Skin Changes: Age/sun spots, red spots, textural problems | * IPL photofacails/ Lasers, Retin-A, chemical Peels (Apeels, VI PEEL, TCA peels) |
| Loss Of Volume | * Fillers (juvederm, Restylane, Perlan, Radiesse, Belotero, Sculptra) |
| Dynamic Lines | * Relax the Muscles: Botox |
| Loss Of Elasticity and Gravity | * Surgery (the right candidate can get some lift out of fillers and buy some time before surgery) |
Good home skin care that is basic and doable. Stick to the basics is our opinion: Retin-A, Vitamin C, a good moisturizer and sun screen are good 4 things to start with and you may never need more.
Minimally invasive treatments that can be done right in our office chair are fillers and botox and in 1 hour you can knock off 3 of the 5 causes of aging.
