Although the natural aging process is inevitable, it doesn’t have to stop you from looking and feeling youthful and energized. No matter your age, there’s an anti-aging treatment option that’s perfect for your skin care needs and goals.
1. Injectable Fillers
As we age, our skin begins to decrease the amount of important proteins it produces, which eventually creates the appearance of lines, wrinkles and a “sunken-in” facial contour. Injectable fillers like JUVÉDERM®, BELOTERO® and Restylane® are made with a naturally-occurring substance called hyaluronic acid to help fill in wrinkles and restore lost volume in your face or lips.
Although injectable filler results are temporary, you can enjoy the same smooth, youthful look for 6 months or even several years, depending on which type of filler you choose.
2. BOTOX® and Dysport®
Injectable wrinkle treatments like BOTOX® and Dysport® are some of the most popular anti-aging treatments among women and men of nearly any age. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscle contractions that lead to creases, lines and wrinkles.
Many people find that BOTOX® and Dysport® injections are easy and convenient to fit into their busy schedules, as these treatments only take about 20 minutes to complete, and you can return to work and your normal activities directly after your appointment.
BOTOX® and Dysport® can be great options for smoothing away forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet.
3. SkinPen®
SkinPen® uses the process of microneedling to give you a smoother and more even skin tone and texture, while simultaneously improving the appearance of acne scars and signs of aging. Because SkinPen® works by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production, this anti-aging treatment can yield long-lasting results.
