Healthy Skin After 40 - What are Your Options?


Advertisement

The signs of aging can creep up as early as your late 20s, but there are many ways to prevent premature aging from adding decades to your appearance as the years wear on. By the time you reach 40, noticeable changes in your skin can include fine lines around the eyes, sagging skin around the jawline and deep grooves forming around the mouth. 

They’re all side effects  of the aging process, but there are several ways you can stop the clock and even create a more youthful appearance. From chemical peels to facial liposuction, here are some options for healthy skin after reaching 40:

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a relatively painless buffing treatment that helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and helps tone and buff the face. Microdermabrasion works by buffing skin smooth with a diamond crystal wand; this removes dead skin cells and superficial scars, and may help reduce the appearance of age spots and blemishes on the skin’s surface. Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen production, giving your skin a chance to regenerate and grow at a rapid rate.

Good for:  Tired or sagging skin that needs an instant refresher.

Chemical Peels

If you have acne scars, blemishes and patches of skin pigmentation, a chemical peel can jumpstart the cell regeneration process. Chemical peels work by sinking into your skin and creating trauma deep within the skin’s surface.  This encourages the skin tissue to ‘purge’ any toxins, dead skin cells and impurities from deep under the skin’s top layer so that the surface is clear of oil and debris. Chemical peels can take between 2-5 days to work properly, but the process can create a dramatic difference.

Good for:  An instant lift that provides lasting results.

Thermage Skin Tightening Treatments

When you want to tighten and tone up loose skin around the jawline or sagging skin around the cheekbones, Thermage for the face may be a valuable treatment. Thermage works by emitting powerful heat energy deep into the skin’s layers so that muscles and tissues contract; this contraction can then trigger collagen production, which helps create a toned and sculpted look. A series of Thermage treatments can help your skin become stronger and more resilient within a few short months.

Good for:  Loose skin around the jawline, cheeks with little contour.

Facial Acupuncture

Also known as cosmetic acupuncture, facial acupuncture targets key facial compartments to increase circulation and boost collagen production. This helps create more youthful and ‘plumped up’ look, and may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Good for:  Tired-looking skin that is not responding to conventional facial treatments.
