What is Healthy Aging? 

No one can turn back the clock on aging, but there are preventative measures you can take to ensure that your body, skin, and mental well-being stay strong for the duration of your life. Some factors are out of our control when it comes to aging, like our genetic makeup. However, there are many factors that are in our control, such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising, taking care of our mental health, and of course, practicing effective skincare routines. 

Treatment Options to Promote Healthy Aging

Many treatment options are available to help promote healthy aging for years to come. Keep reading to learn about some of our most popular healthy aging treatments.

Aging Hands and Neck

Over time, the collagen in our hands deteriorates, which can create accentuated veins and wrinkles on our hands. Similarly, aging and cumulative sun exposure can lead to permanent wrinkles and bands on our necks. Luckily, there are a variety of treatment options to help build back the volume lost in these areas and improve skin texture. Our most popular are dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, and medical-grade skincare that penetrates deeper into the skin layers for maximum effect.  

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles on the face are bound to happen to us all. We naturally lose elasticity and volume because we are not producing collage at the same rate as we used to. There are treatment and skincare options available to slow down or reverse fine lines and wrinkles that are beginning to form. Botox and fillers can provide immediate benefits, while laser skin treatments trigger collagen production for a longer-lasting effect.  

Sun Damage

After many years of sun exposure, you may start to notice uneven skin pigmentation and changes in your skin texture. There are many treatments and skincare options available to help reduce pigmentation on your face, decolletage, or hands. During your consultation, we provide you with a customized treatment plan to address your sun damage. Popular treatments include Intense Pulse Light (IPL), chemical peels, and laser skin resurfacing. Remember to always follow and apply daily use of SPF.
