Top 3 Expert Skincare Recommendations
Your skin requires lots of love and care. It needs consistent hydration and protection from the sun, with any rejuvenating products as a bonus.
Here are our top 3 tips for maintaining gorgeous skin at any age.
1. Sun Protection
If there’s one thing you should take away from this, it’s that sun protection is paramount to all else. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays increase your risk of skin cancer and cause your complexion to age prematurely. And the worst part? Once UV radiation changes your skin cells’ DNA, the damage cannot be reversed.
We recommend wearing sunscreen with a minimum 30 sun protection factor (SPF). This level of protection helps protect from multiple UV ray types and prevents skin degradation. Most of our team uses Colorescience’s Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Face Shield Flex SPF 50 as a lightweight, everyday sunscreen.
2. Hydration
With time, our skin is less able to retain moisture. As a result, you may notice that your skin, rough, dull, and/or flaky.
We recommend investing in hydrating products that rejuvenate your skin from within. Hydrating aesthetic treatments can also repair your skin’s moisture barrier. We recommend the DiamondGlow facial and other custom facials for total skin rejuvenation.
3. Boost Collagen Production
One of the body’s most abundant proteins, collagen, provides the skin with structure, elasticity, and support. But our body produces less collagen with time, and with a loss of natural volume, we see the creation of wrinkles and sagging skin.
To remedy this issue, we recommend the following collagen-boosting treatments:
- Chemical peels – Available in a variety of formulations, chemical peels reach different depths to promote cell turn-over and improve different aspects of the sun such as texture, color and/or dullness. As a bonus, chemical peels also promote collagen production.
- Morpheus8 microneedling – Morpheus8 pairs radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to stimulate the body’s healing response and create collagen and elastin, which helps tighten the skin.
- CO2 laser skin resurfacing – CO2 treatments essentially vaporize the top layer of skin to smooth out texture and even out skin-tone.
- Sculptra – Contains a poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate gradual collagen production.
Our experts help you determine which treatments suit your specific aesthetic needs during your initial consultation.
