If you don’t take steps to identify a problem, how can you expect to fix it? Understanding your aging process is essential for slowing it down and adding more vitality to your appearance. A board-certified plastic surgeon in your area can be a powerful ally in this journey.
At Allure Anti-Aging & Aesthetics in Huntington Beach, our mission is to help our patients find ways to combat signs of aging throughout all periods of their life. Below you will find an outline of common aging concerns and why they happen, plus ways to correct them.
What Causes Premature Signs of Aging?
The earliest signs of aging can reveal themselves in your 20s, primarily due to lifestyle factors like sun damage, sleep deprivation, and lack of a consistent skin care routine.
The cumulative effects of excessive UV exposure – including hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and fine lines – may appear early if you failed to apply enough sunscreen and shield your skin from sunburns in your childhood. Likewise, if you do not stick to a sleep schedule, you may deny your body the time it needs to repair and restore itself. One of the best ways to prevent untimely wrinkles and discoloration is to adopt a skin care regimen that includes daily cleansing, moisturizing, and sunscreen application.
Popular procedures to help reduce any damage you have already done to your skin include our HydraFacial, microneedling, and intense pulsed light resurfacing.
Is There Anything I Can Do to Prevent or Slow Down Signs of Aging?
In recent years, many people have started using injectable products for preventive purposes as early as their 20s. For instance, Botox® is an excellent way to stop forehead furrows, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines from forming. When your facial muscles can’t contract, you can train yourself to stop making the repetitive expressions that etch wrinkles into your face. As a result, you can enjoy smooth, youthful skin for years to come.
On the same note, dermal fillers can be ideal for averting undereye bags and dark circles.
What Can You Do About Lost Collagen and Elastin?
As your body ages, it gradually stops producing collagen and elastin – two structural proteins that are vital for your skin’s health and appearance. As a result, you’ll be more susceptible to wrinkles and sagging. Collagen induction therapies like microneedling and laser skin resurfacing can trigger your skin’s natural collagen production and keep your skin looking fresh and young.
