The change of season is an ideal time to give your skin a boost and freshen up your looks. As the summer days fade away to make room for cooler months ahead, you can prepare your skin to handle the temperature drop and ward off any signs of premature aging. Aging skin is especially vulnerable to extreme temperatures and changing weather conditions, and may become predisposed to developing fine lines from dehydration, sagging skin from cold temperatures, and even a duller complexion from the lack of sunlight. As you head into the cold and dark days ahead, consider some of these anti aging treatments to maintain your youthful glow:

Microdermabrasion for Deep Exfoliation

If your skin needs a deep exfoliation treatment after a long summer of drying and peeling skin, microdermabrasion can help buff away dead skin cells and even reduce fine facial lines. Microdermabrasion is a powerful anti aging treatment that can produce dramatic results after just 2-3 treatments. It’s a relatively painless and effective treatment that can give your skin an instant boost.

Chemical Peels for Age Spot Removal

Chemical peels are frequently coupled with deep cleansing facials and even microdermabrasion, and work by sinking deep into the skin in order to flush out toxins and dead skin cells. Chemical peels can be used to reduce the appearance of age spots, since they work from inside out to encourage fresh skin cell production.

PhotoRejuvenation for a Brighter Complexion

PhotoFacials make use of light therapy to brighten up pigmented patches of skin and reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes.  If you’ve developed age spots and skin discoloration from those long summer days, a series of photofacials can help create a natural-looking glow. 

Botox and Injectable Fillers for Smoother Skin

If you’re looking for ways to plump up the cheeks, enhance the lips or simply get rid of frown lines, Botox and dermal fillers such as Restylane can provide a temporary fix. These injectables can provide instant results for aging skin, and are quickly becoming a part of the ‘liquid facelift’ procedure that fills out key facial compartments around the face for a more youthful look. A series of injectable fillers over the course of the year – maybe one set each season –can help you keep up that youthful look and enjoy wrinkle-free skin.

Thermage to Tighten and Tone the Skin

If you want to look forward to a youthful appearance over the holidays, a series of skin tightening treatments can help smooth out the skin’s surface and plump up the skin for a more youthful look. Thermage and Titan are two leading skin tightening treatments that work by delivering heat energy deep into the skin’s layers to trigger collagen production. Increasing collagen leads to firmer and more resilient skin, and the skin begins to regenerate and heal in a very short period of time.
