When you’re younger your skin has an abundance of collagen and elastin.
I say “younger” instead of “young” because, for most of us, those fine lines and wrinkles start appearing long before we would consider ourselves old.
And besides, age is just a number. It’s how you feel that counts.
Unfortunately, your skin doesn’t always mirror how you’re feeling, and as that natural stash of collagen and elastin starts to diminish, your skin starts to age.
Thankfully modern medicine can intervene in the ageing process by helping you to restore your collagen stash, and in doing so, maintain your youthful skin.
According to the doctors at Skin Renewal, the earlier you start the better when it comes to skin treatments.
They offer a huge selection of collagen-encouraging treatments to suit every skin type, age and condition as well as your budget.
For example, their Skin Tightening & Anti-Ageing Solutions packages are very focused on collagen creation.
The Standard Solution includes a Laser Genesis treatment that heats up the deeper layers of your skin in a way that triggers collagen production as well as a glycolic peel that will reveal a smoother, brighter-looking complexion while also contributing to collagen synthesis.
You could also try Advanced Solution, which makes use of several premature ageing prevention-focused treatments including a Laser Genesis treatment plus carboxytherapy.
Carboxytherapy involves using a tiny needle to inject CO2 gas beneath the surface of your skin where it boosts circulation and sparks new collagen.
Other injectable treatments include Botulinum toxin treatments like Botox or Dysport injections that are magic bullets when it comes to preventing wrinkles.
When it comes to the loss of volume and lines that develop in the lower half of the face, dermal fillers shine.
While they can instantly plump up marionette lines and smooth out the even finer ones that start to occur around your lips, they also have merit over time as, wherever they’re injected, they encourage the skin to produce more of its own natural collagen.
As with all things skin-related, it’s a process.
You’ll want to do a few treatments over a period of time to get maximum results.
Best practice would be to make an appointment with one of the highly trained pros at Skin Renewal.
You’re one step closer to looking the way you feel.
