Skin care needs to change as you age - with time, your skin loses collagen, a strong fibrous substance that helps give skin its firm, tight appearance. The loss of collagen results in wrinkles and loss of skin tone. Your skin also tends to dry out as you age and the loss of moisture also contributes to an aged look. Lastly, after many years in the sun, the damage starts to become visible during this time: the culprits include wrinkles, discoloration, and sagging of the body.
Dry skin has a low level of sebum, which is the skin's natural lubricator. As it doesn't have enough sebum, it dries out simply and isn't able to keep the correct amount of moisture required for unblemished skin. Don't worry, it's never too late to begin!
Get your Glow Back:
A 6-step Bio-techno facial rejuvenation program designed for sure shot results for any type of skin, age, color
Step 1
Exfoliation
An exfoliation routine consists of topical exfoliating creams and microdermabrasion or superficial chemical peels with glycolic or salicylic acid. The latter peels are time-consuming procedures by which you leave the clinic a little pink, but with a refreshed glow.
Step 2
Stimulate New Collagen Formation
Most important step for the removal of static facial wrinkles and fine lines. There is no quick non-surgical way to remove visible facial wrinkles. Laser resurfacing can quickly and effectively remove facial wrinkles. However, laser resurfacing is unacceptable for most people due to its prolonged recovery.
Step 3
Removal of Abnormal Pigment and Blood Vessels
Although creams and exfoliation can remove many light brown spots and the lasers used in step 2 remove smaller vessels, more aggressive therapy is needed for the removal of darker pigment, brown spots, and larger vessels. A newer laser called the Cool Glide is very effective for larger blood vessels. Today the IPL is the choice for combined pigment and smaller blood vessels that appear as a flush similar to Rosacea. The above therapies are effective and results are visible in about six weeks. Usually, two or three treatments are needed.
Step 4
Relaxation of Muscles of Facial Expression
Botox is a revolutionary new drug, which effectively removes dynamic lines and wrinkles caused by the muscles of facial expression. The frown lines, worry lines, crow's feet, and bunny lines all may be lessened or removed by the injection of Botox. Lipstick lines, the fine wrinkles around the lips may also be lessened with Botox but only small amounts can be used otherwise the lips will be weakened.
Step 5
Fill Deep Facial Lines and Contour Deformities
Soft tissue fillers such as Radiesse, Restylane, your fat, and other fillers can be injected into the skin beneath a deep facial line to plump the line and camouflage the line. They may also be used to plump the aging lip and to fill contour deformities caused by facial aging. These fillers are temporary and must be repeated every six months to a year.
Step 6
Skin Tightening
Skin tightening is a very important component of any facial rejuvenation process. Latest technologies using Infrared Radiofrequency and combined laser energy are showing promising results as non-surgical skin tightening methods.
Apart from the treatment, there are important things one can do to manage life better:
Inactivity
Affects the skin and promotes bloating and puffiness, acne, cellulite, and loss of muscle tone. Start each morning by stretching and a 45-minute walk 5 days a week could take care of all these problems and would also maintain a healthy heart.
Eat Some Good Fats
Essential fatty acids are fats your body cannot live without. They are needed to make cell membranes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Consume pulses/cereals with fish oil supplements.
Drink Enough Water
Good skin is a reflection of a good digestive system. People with skin disorders often suffer from constipation and digestive disorders. Drinking water bathes cells and eliminates waste products, preventing constipation.
Eat Enough Fiber
Most people lack fiber in their diets – this could be simply overcome by consuming a bowl of salad, green leafy vegetables, or fruits. Give one hour in a day only for yourself, practice this, and see the wonders of lost years coming back.
Anti-aging is not just about miracle creams! It´s about our attitude to enjoying life, feeling good, and being happy with ourselves.
