With summer days slowly drifting away and holiday season right around the corner, giving your skin a much-needed ‘lift’ can help you step into the season with a fresh new look. Anti aging skincare products made with retinol and CoQ10 have long been hailed the ideal anti-wrinkle solution, and may be even more necessary with the drier air and cooler temperatures.

According to The Geldner Center, an aesthetic and cosmetic surgery center supervised by Dr. Peter Geldner, facial peels, abrasions and exfoliation techniques can reduce wrinkles associated with aging and sun damage as well as revitalize skin texture for a more youthful glow. An intensive skincare treatment such as a chemical peel, microdermabrasion or even beginning on a Thermage skin tightening regiment can help you keep that summer glow and prepare skin for the rougher season ahead. Consider some of these anti aging solutions to prepare for Fall and winter:

Thermage Skin Tightening Treatments

If you’ve been thinking about getting a facelift but aren’t ready for surgery, a skin tightening treatment such as Thermage can help you achieve a more youthful look. Thermage treatments work by injuring skin tissues deep within the skin’s layers; this increases collagen production and encourages the skin to regenerate and grow at a rapid rate. If you’re looking for a treatment that will give you that youthful and toned look by the holidays, beginning a series of Thermage treatments this Fall will give you a headstart.

Medical Facials and Chemical Peels

One of the easiest ways to give your skin an instant makeover is with a deep cleansing medical facial. These facials are designed for deep exfoliation and will ‘purge’ toxins and dead skin cells from the skin after just one session. A chemical peel helps to tighten and tone the skin, and also remove toxins and dead cells that are stuck beneath the skin’s surface. Most people do break out for a few days after the peel, but this is a sign that the body is shedding dead skin cells and toxins in order to begin the regenerating process.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is considered to be a ‘lighter’ version of dermabrasion, an exfoliating procedure that helps buff away dead skin cells, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and create a healthy, rejuvenated appearance. Microdermabrasion can be combined with a chemical peel for enhanced effects, and some skincare experts recommend a series of treatments for long-lasting results. Since microdermabrasion helps strengthen and tone the skin, you can look forward to a healthy glow no matter how dry or and cold the climate may be.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

If the summer sun has left you with freckles, age spots, or even a fresh cropping of fine lines and wrinkles, laser skin resurfacing can be a valuable corrective procedure for your skin. This procedure works by breaking apart scars and damaged skin cells beneath the skin’s surface, allowing the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally. Most people see a noticeable difference after one session, but your dermatologist may recommend a series of treatments for deeper scars and darker age spots.

BOTOX Injections

Frown lines and wrinkles around the eyes can give away your age, but BOTOX injections can take away those signs of aging after just one treatment. Injectable fillers are a simple, painless procedure that can help you achieve smooth, youthful-looking skin; right in time for holiday season.

From microdermabrasion to Thermage treatments, you can choose from several anti aging treatments to prepare your skin for the colder months ahead. Consult with an anti aging specialist in your area for the latest treatment options available.
