Whether it may be fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, or anything else, once you start to notice the initial signs of aging creeping up on your face, skincare can seem like an ongoing battle. You’re applying all of the right ingredients and products, so why aren’t you seeing any improvements in your aging skin? Why is your skin continuing to look older as each day passes?
Well, when it comes to topical skincare products, it can sometimes take a while for these to work. It usually takes months, rather than weeks, to notice significant results, and that’s only if you’re actually using the right products. Instead, if you’re hoping to see improvements ASAP, then it’s always worth turning to a reputable med spa, such as Plantation Med Spa.
We’ll be able to treat your skin with advanced formulas and procedures that don’t even come close to comparing to at-home products. Even better, many offer instant results. Intrigued? Read on as we talk you through some of the top med spa treatments for transforming the look of aging skin.
Botox
Let’s start with a classic; Botox. This treatment has become a go-to for people looking to reduce the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles, with thousands of success stories backing up its effects.
Botox is delivered to the skin via an injection into specific facial muscles. Once there, it blocks your nerves from sending signals to your muscles, which prevents those muscles from contracting. Since those muscles aren’t able to tense up, it puts a stop to the associated lines and wrinkles that form on your face each time those muscles move. This makes aging skin look significantly smoother and younger.
It takes a few days for the effects of a Botox treatment to show on the face, with full results visible after a couple of weeks. These will last for about four months, after which you’ll then need another treatment. Since each Botox treatment only takes a few minutes, it’s easy enough to schedule top-ups. You won’t need to worry about pain either – the needles used for Botox are tiny, making this treatment virtually painless.
Dermal Fillers
Just like Botox, dermal fillers are applied in the form of an injection, yet they work in a very different way. Rather than preventing muscle contractions in the face, dermal fillers focus on addressing the loss of volume that accompanies aging skin.
There are various types of fillers available, but they all help to plump up the look of the skin from within. This gives the skin a much smoother and firmer finish while doing away with the appearance of even deep wrinkles and folds.
In addition to giving the face a newfound fullness, fillers are also a popular lip treatment. Just like the skin on the rest of the face, the lips lose volume with age, making them look thin and creased. Lip fillers can help to plump the lips up again while filling in any lines.
Again, just like Botox, dermal fillers aren’t permanent. How long your results last will depend on the type of filler you choose, along with your area of treatment. Some last for 6 months while others can last for 18 months. Book your filler treatment with Plantation Med Spa and we’ll talk you through your various options and help you to decide on the best filler for your needs.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are another fantastic way to reduce the signs of aging skin. They essentially remove the dull and old outer layer of skin on your face to allow the smooth and fresh skin cells beneath to show through. At the same time, they help to boost collagen production, leaving the complexion firmer and tauter in the long run too.
Chemical peels come in various strengths. The deeper the peel, the more dramatic the effects. However, deep peels also come with a longer downtime, meaning that light and medium peels tend to be the preferred option when dealing with aging skin.
At Plantation Med Spa , we have a few different chemical peels for you to choose from. Our Advanced Corrective Peel, which is also known as the Jessner Peel, is a light-to-medium depth peel – we can adjust the concentration of the formula that we use depending on the results that you’re hoping to see. It’s a great one for reducing wrinkles, improving skin texture, and brightening the complexion.
The Perfect Derma Peel is another popular option. This is a medium-depth peel that features glutathione, one of the most powerful antioxidants out there. This enables it to not only tackle the signs of skin aging that you’re currently dealing with but also to help prevent new wrinkles and other visible signs of environmental damage from forming.
Venus Legacy
The Venus Legacy is a specialized, non-invasive device that’s used to tighten skin on the face and body. Whether you’re dealing with wrinkles and loose skin on your face or aging-related cellulite on your body, a Venus Legacy treatment can help.
This treatment works by emitting a gentle heat into the deeper layers of your skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, which causes loose skin to contract while boosting circulation.
The results of this treatment aren’t instant – you’ll need a few treatments at weekly intervals in order for it to work. However, since this treatment is completely non-surgical, there isn’t any downtime or discomfort involved. In fact, most people agree that the treatment is quite pleasant and relaxing, feeling almost like a hot stone massage!
Microneedling
It’s easy to see why many are initially put off by the idea of microneedling. After all, surely creating all of those micro-punctures in the skin with multiple tiny needles is painful?
However, in reality, this treatment doesn’t hurt. A topical numbing cream is applied to your skin before the treatment begins, meaning that you won’t feel any pain. Instead, you’ll simply be able to benefit from how the procedure significantly boosts collagen and elastin production. These two proteins quickly deplete in aging skin, contributing to sagging and wrinkles. By increasing the collagen and elastin content in your skin, you’ll be able to regain the youthful firmness and volume that you once had.
At Plantation Med Spa , in addition to our regular microneedling treatment, we also offer microneedling with PRP. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It’s essentially a potent serum that’s packed with growth factors that help to enhance collagen and elastin production even further. It’s delivered deep into the skin via the micro-channels created by the microneedling device, giving you results that are even more impressive.
LED Light Therapy
If you’d prefer to treat your aging skin with a completely non-invasive procedure, then LED light therapy is well worth considering. This treatment makes use of different light wavelengths to target various skin concerns.
When it comes to skin aging, red light therapy is the most effective. It stimulates protein production in the skin to improve elasticity, texture, and firmness. It’s an effective way to regenerate aging skin, essentially making it look younger and healthier.
While a single LED light therapy treatment will give your skin an instant glow, a series of treatments is recommended for long-term results. Each treatment takes about 20 minutes, and the results from a full course should last you for several months.
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening
Another popular non-invasive treatment for aging skin is radio frequency skin tightening. This procedure makes use of an electromagnetic device that gently heats the tissues that lie just beneath the skin’s surface. The result is an increase in collagen and elastic production, which leaves the skin significantly tighter and smoother.
Just like with LED light therapy, you’ll notice improvements in your complexion immediately after your first treatment. However, you’ll likely need about six weekly treatments for long-term results to be visible.
At Plantation Med Spa , we offer radio frequency skin tightening alongside several of our other treatments. That said, one that we would highly recommend for aging skin is our RF Aqua Facial Lift. It’s a hydradermabrasion procedure that will also exfoliate and brighten your complexion while helping to clear away any blemishes.
eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation
Our eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation treatment has been designed to resurface the skin. It’s a great option for aging skin because of how it tightens loose and sagging skin, therefore improving the look of wrinkles.
Of course, being a resurfacing treatment makes this procedure effective at softening, smoothing, and brightening the skin’s texture too. After all, it’s not just wrinkles that accompany the skin aging process – dark spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation are just as common, and this treatment will help with all of that.
How does this treatment work? It makes use of a special device that sends radio frequency energy to the layer of skin beneath the surface. This stimulates cell regrowth while also boosting natural protein production. It takes a few days for results to start showing, but these will then continue to improve over the next few months.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Another effective way to treat wrinkles, dark spots, and scars is with a Q-switched laser, which is exactly what our Laser Skin Rejuvenation treatment uses. This is an ultra-focused laser that’s able to hone in on the treatment area without causing any damage to the surrounding tissues or cells. The laser removes the outer layer of the skin to reveal the healthier skin beneath while also delivering a mild heat that stimulates protein production deeper within the skin.
You’ll notice a few improvements after your first treatment, particularly when it comes to discoloration. However, it can take a month or two for wrinkles to become less visible, purely because this is how long it takes for the skin to build new collagen and elastin fibers.
The best part about this treatment is that results can last for a couple of years. That said, we’d still recommend a top-up treatment once or twice a year to ensure that your skin continues to look its very best.
