Collagen is your skin’s natural framework, helping it to remain firm yet elastic. Over time, however, this supportive structure wears down, since we produce less of it as we age. By the time we reach our 40s, we don’t produce any new collagen. The remaining amount we do have breaks, thickens, and becomes less elastic, resulting in lines and wrinkles.
Fortunately, several treatments are available to help stimulate the rebuilding of collagen, giving your skin a more youthful appearance. The following are effective, safe treatments that have minimal discomfort. They can be done during your lunch hour with no downtime, quickly making your skin look younger and more refreshed:
Active FX CO2 – Laser Skin Resurfacing
This treatment utilizes radio frequency technology to precisely reach deep into your skin. Laser skin resurfacing helps to eliminate wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.
RED Light Therapy
Infrared light penetrates deep into your skin, improving your skin tone and healing blemishes. RED Light Therapy also improves your skin’s circulation.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Radiesse utilize hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in your skin, to give it a plumper, smoother appearance. You’ll see results in just one or two visits.
Intensif Micro-Needling with Radiofrequency
With this treatment, tiny needles deliver radiofrequency energy deep into your skin. It’s very effective at reducing the appearance of acne scars and deep wrinkles.
Retinols
Retinols are creams that help improve your skin a molecular level. They enhance the texture of your skin, minimize pores, and reduce dark spots. Retinols stimulate the production of new collagen and also help decrease its natural breakdown that results from sun exposure. We offer retinols from SkinMedica, a trusted name in medical-grade skin care.
