Ageing skin is characterized by thinning of the dermis, laxity (sagging), rhytids (wrinkles), and the various photoaging symptoms, including erythema (redness), brown discolorations, yellowing, keratoses (abnormal growths), and poor texture. Treatment of ageing skin includes correcting damage of accumulated years and also includes better skin care to slow down and maybe avoid some of the ageing symptoms.
Treatment of ageing skin that is aimed at correcting damage of years includes noninvasive, mildly invasive and invasive procedures. When searching for options, not all possibilities are suitable for all. Therefore, when selecting a treatment for ageing skin it is important to find out in advance are there any possible side effects? What are these side effects? Is there down time? Pain level?
Treatment of ageing skin includes the use of dermal fillers, botox, skin resurfacing, and more invasive surgical procedures. Lasers can be used to address issues of pigmentations, discolorations, abnormal skin growths etc’. The most effective treatment of ageing skin would probably combine the use of anti ageing technologies that induce strengthening of the skin from within with skin surface treatments that remove old skin damage and expose newer skin. Fine spot corrections can include the use of dermal fillers and botox for deep wrinkles.
One non invasive technology for treatment of aging skin uses Radio Frequency (RF) energy for facial contouring and skin tightening, inducing heat in the treated area, this heat stimulates the body’s own collagen generation and in addition, tightens the existing collagen. The result is an improved skin texture along with reduced laxity of the skin.
Combining radio frequency non invasive treatment with a more aggressive treatment of skin resurfacing (using laser or radio frequency fractional treatments), will result in the benefits of collagen build up from within due to the RF treatment and renewed skin surface. However, this combined treatment will require a healing period due to the skin resurfacing and does involve minimal down time.
Treatment of ageing skin also includes prevention of further damage. This will include good hydration by drinking plenty of water, eating healthy food, physical activity, avoid smoking and excessive drinking and most important of all BE HAPPY.
