With time, your skin changes and becomes dull, wrinkled, dry and spotted. Your skin also loses its collagen and fat making it thinner, less plump and smooth.
The skin is one of features that is most vulnerable to change. Factors such as sun exposure also greatly affect the quality of your skin.
It is advisable that you take good care of your skin and use sunscreen when the sun is the strongest, which is between 10 am to 3 pm. Cigarette smoking also quickens the aging process and causing wrinkles to develop much earlier than they would have otherwise. The wrinkling increases with the amount of cigarettes and number of years a person has smoked.
Hence, we guide our clients to care about their skin and take some guidelines to ensure that their skin remains clear and healthy for as long as possible. Here are some ways through which you could revitalize your skin:
- Avoid the sun during the day time when it is the sharpest
- Wear protective clothing such as a hat, full-sleeved shirt and sunglasses with UV lenses.
- Always put sun block lotion before going out into the sun to protect your skin from UV light.
- Check your skin for signs of skin cancer. If there are, changes then consult your doctor right away.
- If you have dry skin use, a moisturizing body wash instead of soap. Also, use a moisturizing lotion regularly.
In addition to these protective measures, there are dermatologists or cosmetic surgeon’s prescribed treatments that produce remarkable results. For early signs of aging treatments such as using retinoid, vitamin C and alpha hydroxy acids may be a suitable option. Chemical peels, dermabrasion, or laser resurfacing would be a better option for moderate to severe facial sun damage and wrinkling.
Botox injections and fillers such as Hyaluronic acid injections would be best to treat deeper facial lines. You can even use your own fat taken from areas where it is unwanted such as the buttocks or the thighs and use it in the face to treat wrinkles. Another option is gore-tex implants that make the face plump and full of life again.
Many people also opt for surgical procedures such as facelift, brow lift, neck lift or upper lid surgery. It would be up to you to decide which procedure you are more comfortable undergoing also your doctor would determine which procedure would be best for you. Scheduling a consultation session with our surgeon’s would make you aware about the costs, risks, benefits of different treatments and make you more confident about which procedure you want to take.
