They say that age is just a number. But when you look in the mirror and see wrinkles, you may not like the number that comes to mind.
If your skin is betraying you and making you look older than you feel, you’re not alone. Nearly 60% of adults feel uncomfortable in their own skin.
The good news is that you don’t have to go under the knife to pull back the hands of time. Our team of experts at Serenity Women’s Care has a better way.
Here’s a closer look at how we take your skin from crepey and worn to envy-inducing.
What happened to my skin?
You know that wrinkles tend to crop up as you get up and over the hill. However, there’s a little more to it than simply time passing.
As you get older, your skin loses elasticity and becomes more fragile. You stop producing the natural oils that keep your skin moist and supple, contributing to a weathered appearance. Fat stores in the deepest layers of your skin also deplete, making your skin loose and sagging and exaggerating lines and crevices.
Some other factors that play a role in wrinkled skin include:
- Overexposure to the sun
- Smoking
- Repeated facial expressions
No matter where your wrinkles came from, you don’t have to look any further than our office for help in combating them.
What are my nonsurgical options?
Some of your friends may have sunk their money into creams and lotions that promise renewed skin; others may have gone to the extreme and opted for a face-lift. We have a better way. Here’s a closer look at our nonsurgical skin rejuvenation services.
Cosmetic injections
Cosmetic injections are by far the most popular nonsurgical option for wrinkle reduction — and we offer a star-studded lineup of products, including Botox®, Dysport®, and dermal fillers.
Botox and Dysport are derived from neurotoxins that temporarily paralyze the muscles in your face, relaxing the look of dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that show up when you make a facial expression). On the other hand, dermal fillers gently plump out loose, saggy skin, restoring volume in your features and softening static wrinkles (wrinkles that are visible when your face is at rest).
Both options are minimally invasive and come with minimal risk for side effects. Want more good news? You can usually get both types of injectables at the same time.
Laser skin rejuvenation
Our laser services address a wide range of skin issues, from wrinkles and sagging skin to hyperpigmentation and uneven texture. Our medical-grade lasers penetrate deep into your skin, stimulating collagen production and improving your skin from the inside out.
What else can I do?
There’s no substitute for our advanced treatments, but that doesn’t mean you’re useless in the fight against wrinkles. If you want to take steps to wrangle your wrinkles, try:
- Protecting your skin from the sun
- Using skin care products with built-in sunscreen
- Moisturizing daily
- Quitting smoking
- Eating a healthy diet
- Staying hydrated
You can also turn to us for other aesthetic services like microneedling, deplaning, and chemical peels to keep your skin as healthy and supple as possible.
