All About These 3 types of Mainstream Anti-aging Treatments
First and Foremost- Get A Killer Skin Care Routine
The basic staples of a skin care system are:
- A Facial Cleanser
- Exfoliator or Peel
- Serum
- Moisturizer
- Daily Sunscreen
A good cleanser won’t strip away helpful oils but cleans away pore-blocking oils, dirt, makeup, and pollutants. Moisturizer is key to replenishing and hydrating your skin and customizable to include anti-aging ingredients such as retinol. By now, you’ve probably heard sunscreen being preached from everyone in the beauty industry, and for a good reason. If you don’t use one already, invest in a high SPF face sunscreen to prevent the aging and dangerous sun damage effects (yes, even in the winter!). According to a recent study that followed participants over a four-year period, “those who used sunscreen daily were 24% less likely to show increased signs of aging, researchers found (CNN 2013).” Depending on your goals or concerns, a qualified esthetician or skin care expert can help you customize your skin care routine to nourish, treat and protect your skin.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
IPL Photorejuvenation Therapy
Using a computer-guided lamp, light pulses of varying strength target and heal specific areas to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, pores, the appearance of veins, rosacea, acne scarring, sun damage and more. This could be used for an all-over facial treatment or targeted to specific areas such as crow’s feet, neck, forehead lines or under eyes. This treatment is a marathon, not a sprint and will take 3-5 treatments each 1 month apart. Learn more...
Fraxel 1927 Non-Ablative Laser
A non-invasive, quick procedure with natural and sustainable results- It uses laser technology to target specific areas such as fine wrinkles, scarring and hyperpigmentation while promoting collagen growth. Best results can be achieved in as little as one appointment but up to 5. Learn more...
Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is a painless treatment that helps your skin to literally shed away years of aging on your skin. From dry scaly areas to aging spots and wrinkles, you will notice an improvement in the tone and texture of your skin from the first treatment. Optimal results are achieved at 3-6 treatments. Learn more...
Tissue Injections
Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins such as BOTOX®, Xeomin®, and Dysport® are injected into the facial tissue to prevent and smooth existing wrinkles by relaxing the surrounding nerves. Botox has also been used for Hyperhidrosis and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This takes no downtime and typically requires only one treatment every 3 months.
Dermal Fillers
JUVÉDERM®
This facial filler can restore volume and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Made from hyaluronic acid, which is already found in the body, it has a more gel-like consistency for natural and safer results that last 9-12 months. Learn more...
Restylane®
Restylane is also made of hyaluronic acid, although it is known for its granular texture which is ideal for building volume. Often used to augment the cheeks and lips, results typically last up to 8 months. Learn more...
BOLETERO®
Boletero is often a preferred starter filler for its more subtle results and shorter lifespan of every 4-6 months. It is also great for maintaining a natural and subtle look while erasing signs of aging and adding volume back into the facial features. Learn more...
