People with sensitive skin usually need a special skincare regiment to ward off breakouts and reduce the risk of skin damage from standard skin and cosmetic products. However, this doesn’t mean that anti aging solutions such as chemical peels or photofacials are off limits; sensitive skin can be treated with a number of anti aging treatments that can eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, reduce age spots and clear up an uneven skin tone. 

From the popular Vi Peel to Juvederm injections, here are just a few effective anti aging solutions for those with sensitive skin:

Lactic Acid Peels for Skin Rejuvenation

Lactic acid chemical peels are one of the milder forms of chemical peels, making them a good match for sensitive skin types.  Lactic acid peels help to detoxify the skin and remove any dead skin cells or cell buildup under the skin’s surface. Anyone with acne scars, pigmentation or mild blemishes can achieve a clearer complexion after just one chemical peel treatment, and full results are typically achieved within 3-5 days.

Restylane and Juvederm for Wrinkle Reduction

Both Restylane and Juvederm are non-animal based injectable fillers that can plump up fine lines and wrinkles and help you achieve a more youthful look. These dermal fillers can be used to increase the volume of the cheeks, fill out small lines on the lips and even get rid of fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead. Individuals with sensitive skin are less likely to develop skin allergies or rashes from these dermal fillers because hyularonic acid already exists in the body; the compounds will not be detected as ‘foreign’ compounds in the body, and can adapt more readily to the skin tissues.

VI Peel for Smoother Skin

The VI Peel is considered to be a ‘freshening’ facial peel as it helps to smooth out the skin’s texture and revitalizes the skin tissues. The Vi Peel is suitable for all skin types, and can help to reduce the signs of aging by clearing up freckles and age spots, reducing acne scars, increasing collagen production and ‘plumping up’ the skin to create a more youthful look. Results are noticeable immediately, and the skin becomes stronger and more resilient after just one treatment.

PhotoFacials for Facial Rejuvenation

The FotoFacial RF treatment and other photofacial procedures make use of high-intensity light waves to correct skin imperfections and stimulate the cellular repair process. Infrared light therapy has been used as a rejuvenating treatment for several decades, and the photofacial procedure makes use of intense pulsed light, infrared light and laser radiofrequency energy to help clear up freckles, skin discoloration and reduce the size of the pores. Photofacials can also help improve rosacea, a common skin condition for those who have sensitive skin.

From lactic acid peels to injectable fillers, sensitive skin types have several options for improving the texture, tone and contours of the skin in order to achieve a more youthful look.
