Aging Skin Treatment Specialist in Cary, NC

Skin ages to due to lowered levels of cellular regeneration that happens within the body as we get older. This slower rate of regeneration as it pertains to collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid levels, coupled with the skin becoming drier and less elastic, results in blemishes, wrinkles, and fine lines. Premature skin aging can also be worsened by:
 
● Not removing makeup properly
● Using poor quality make-up that is harsh on the skin
● Micellar water
● Smoking / tobacco products
● Drinking alcohol
● Poor diet
● Dehydration
● High levels of stress
● Poor quality sleep
● Sun exposure
● High levels of pollution
 
To safeguard your skin against these factors, it’s important to take proactive measures. This includes making any necessary lifestyle changes, always wearing sunscreen and/or protective skin coverings, and sticking to a good skin-care routine. When in doubt, a skin care specialist will be able to lay out an effective skin-care plan that fits into your day-to-day life.

There are a number of different ways to treat aging skin and the best ones are subjective to you and your personal goals.
 
Treatments that use alpha hydroxy acids, retinoids, and vitamin C applications may be enough for some looking to curb some minor signs of aging. Other methods may require you to see a skin specialist for a more intense treatment plan. This may include options such as dermabrasion, chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments, derma fillers, or Botox injections.
 
Surgical treatment, including facelifts and cosmetic alterations, may also be a consideration for some. Whatever you choose, it’s important to first discuss your goals and plans with a skincare specialist who can help direct you down the right path for your unique needs.

Aging is a natural part of getting older and there is no stopping the aging process completely. However, anti-aging treatments have proven success in slowing down the signs of aging as well as rejuvenating the skin for a healthier and more youthful look.
 
The effectiveness of the treatment option that you choose will vary depending on the level of existing damage to your skin, the experience level of your skin care specialist, and the nature of the procedure itself. It’s always best to talk to a qualified dermatologist or skin care professional about what the best treatment option is to achieve the result you want. A specialist will consider both your current level of health and your personal goals to create an effective treatment plan.

Good candidates for anti-aging treatments are those who would like to restore volume and health to their face while combatting the effects of premature aging. They are available to men and women of all ages, although procedures are most commonly performed on those between 30 and 60 years of age.
 
Health and allergies must also be taken into consideration when it comes to choosing an appropriate anti-aging treatment.
