Make Laser Treatments Part of Your Life
Many different laser technologies have been developed for a wide range of skin problems, from skin revitalization to loss of elasticity and pigmentation. By consulting an experienced doctor with a wide choice of laser systems, you can choose the treatment that suits you best. These technologies have advanced so much that after many of them you can return to your social life right away. The basic principle of lasers is to trigger collagen production beneath the skin, activate stem cells and help form young, healthy skin tissue. Remember that any laser treatment aimed at revitalizing the skin is an important investment not only in your skin today, but also in its future.
Antioxidant Support for Anti-Aging
Whatever your age, make sure your skin care routine always includes antioxidants. The procedure called mesolift, performed in clinics, is the most effective way to deliver vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to the skin. This rich cocktail injected into the skin can be tailored to many existing skin problems such as spots, lines and dullness. Antioxidant and vitamin support is an important investment in the future of your skin. The richer your skin cells are in these valuable substances, the more resistant they are to signs of aging, to the harmful rays of the sun and even to the aging effects of pollution. Remember that these wonderful molecules, which we often come across in creams and in articles about anti-aging, are one of your most important weapons against aging. Don't worry if all the serums and creams you layer on contain antioxidants. The more, the better! It is also worth remembering that different antioxidants neutralize different free radical molecules. Vitamins C, E and A, alpha lipoic acid and coenzyme Q10 are the most effective antioxidants for protecting the skin against the effects of aging.
Restore Volume and Fill Wrinkles With Fillers
New-generation hyaluronic acid-based fillers are the most effective way to restore the volume the face loses with age and to smooth out wrinkles by filling them. The word hyaluronic acid may sound unfamiliar, but it is a substance that occurs naturally in the body. It has many important roles, such as keeping the skin moist and plump and helping the joints work properly, and it is also the building block of new-generation fillers. One of the most important advantages of this substance, which adds volume to the injected area by attracting water molecules, is that because it already occurs naturally in the body, it carries no side effects or risk of allergy. Its uses in the world of anti-aging are not limited to adding volume to hollow areas of the face and softening lines. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are also among the most important anti-aging tools for correcting facial asymmetry, the most important criterion of beauty, for camouflaging dark circles under the eyes and giving the skin radiance, or for creating fuller, more attractive lips — as always, provided they are applied by the right, skilled specialists.
Soften Expression Lines With Botox
When talking about the effective tools of the anti-aging world, we cannot leave out botox, which was developed as a treatment for involuntary contractions in the face. Botox injections have been used for therapeutic purposes since the 1970s, and their effectiveness in eliminating wrinkles was discovered in 1987. I would like to make a note here: botox is not a poison! In the hands of a skilled specialist, it becomes an anti-aging tool that makes very natural and effective results possible. Remember, the only way to eliminate expression lines is to relax the muscles that cause them, in other words to apply botox injections. Botox, the gold standard for lifting brows that drop with age and for eliminating frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crow's feet around the eyes, also has innovative uses, such as softening the vertical neck bands that become more visible with age and creating a lifting effect along the jawline. But remember that giving a slightly higher dose than needed, or placing an injection even a millimetre off, can create an artificial, unnatural effect.
Now Let's Talk About the Benefits of AHAs
AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), which have long been used in the anti-aging world and have never lost their popularity, gently exfoliate the surface of the skin, making it look fresher and brighter. Because their exfoliating effect makes the skin slightly sensitive, the sun and AHAs are not a good combination. There is no problem with using a cream containing a low concentration of AHA in the summer months as well, provided you regularly use a high-SPF sunscreen. However, it is worth waiting for autumn to use the more effective higher concentrations. Once the sun loses its strength, supporting your AHA cream with a course of in-clinic peels containing higher concentrations of AHA is a very smart anti-aging strategy. What's more, the benefits of this combination are not limited to what you can see (brighter, clearer skin); it also boosts collagen synthesis.
Cut Down on Sugar for Younger-Looking Skin
One of the most important anti-aging findings of the last decade is that sugar has aging effects on the skin. Let's take a look at how this mechanism works. When you eat sugar and starchy foods high in carbohydrates (bread, potatoes, cookies, cakes, pasta, desserts and fizzy drinks), they are quickly converted into glucose. Excess sugar molecules bind to collagen fibers and reduce their flexibility. This means the skin becomes less resistant to the sun's rays, wrinkles and sagging. To reduce this reaction that damages the skin, make a point of eating protein before aging foods. Or, even better, if you crave something sweet, try eating fruit instead. The fiber in fruit slows down the absorption of sugar by the body, which prevents a sudden rise in blood glucose levels.
Get to Know Your Face
Observe the changes in your face and the problems in your skin carefully. The only way to do this is to develop the habit of looking in the mirror. We are not talking about a quick glance while putting on make-up or in a dimly lit lift. Examine your face in daylight, look at your skin, assess what it needs, and see an experienced specialist to plan a program that suits you. You may not need any treatment at all, but consulting a specialist about the right skin care routine to follow at home is one of the most important things you can do for your skin.
