Age and sun damage can make your face look tired and weary: We can reverse these changes!
The visible signs of ageing are superficial blemishes – broken capillaries, freckles (lentigos), keratoses (dry spots), scars, fine wrinkles and deep furrows.
In your 30's, wrinkles and age spots may begin to appear. Your skin may seem less radiant and may show signs of discoloration. In your 40's, the collagen and elastin support network, begins to break down. Lines and wrinkles become more prominent as your skin becomes drier. The blood flow begins to slow down, leaving your skin with less of a blush. Once in your 50's, the new cell production decreases. Your skin retains less water, which increases the wrinkle formation. At the same time, the underlying fat cells in your face shrink and your excess skin begins to sag.
What are the options for Facial Rejuvenation?
1. Skincare with scientifically proven Cosmoceuticals (Available in our On Line Store)
Some of the products available are:
Glycolic acid lotion: apply at night to soften the skin.
Vitamin-C solutions: antioxidant to mop up free radicals.
Topical retinoid: prescription cream to reverse photo-ageing.
Glycolic acid peels: refresh the skin by removing "dead" skin cells, allowing quick repair and growth.
However, if there is too much damage, you will need solutions that cannot be obtained from creams, regardless of the price!
2. Filling substances- for creases, crows' feet, whistle lines and scars.
Fat injections: extracted from patients own surplus fat to give volume replacement
3. Resurfacing – to improve fine lines, dryness, and blotchiness.
These work by allowing the stem cells to regrow skin which then reduces the pigment problems and improves the skin texture. The options increase in price, strength and "down time".
Microdermabrasion: mechanical smoothing of the skin.
A gradual process that does not have the down time and helps with pigment and rejuvenation of the skin.
TCA chemical peel: medium depth, so a week or so off work is necessary.
Erbium-YAG laser resurfacing: medium depth, a few days off work are needed.
C02 Laser resurfacing: remarkable results are possible.
4. Energy and light source application – to increase collagen activity improving texture, lines, and fullness of the skin.
Impulse Light Therapy that stimulates the body's collagen production and refreshes the skin and helps with pigmentation and imperfections.
Nonabrasive resurfacing:radio frequency technology (such as thermage) is used to tighten the collagen without removing the surface skin.
Pixelated application small microscopic penetrations are made using the Bipolar Radiofrequency technology (Almar Laser's Accent) to create increased collagen growth tightening the skin
.5. Surgical intervention– for sagging and loose skin.
Minimally invasive "threads" that "lift" the skin and promote collagen growth, to always have the skin being tighter than it would have been. It gives great results for the brow, the jowls, the neck and mid face. The latest being the silhouette and Promoitalia threads with nine times the lift of previous threads.
Liposuction and laser application which tightens the skin under the neck.
Blepharoplasty to remove baggy eyelids and fat pads under the eyes.
Minor, Modified and Full face lifts help to tighten muscle, facial attachments and skin on the mid face, the jowls, the neck and the forehead.
