Standards of beauty are timeless. However, skin care products and treatments are continually improving. Advances in science and technology have continuously enhanced the restoration of one’s youthful appearance. Many factors contribute to the aging process, including: genetic factors, sun damage, and smoking damage.
The average person receives the majority of his or her sun exposure before the age of 15. However, the damaging effects are not observed until after the age of 35. The same is true for smoking and it is this cumulative affect.
Treatment of the stigmata of aging skin is divided into three parts:
Prevention
Maintenance
Treatment
Prevention and maintenance are an ongoing, life long activity.
Ageing skin is thin, lacking in elasticity, wrinkled, leathery and rough, with uneven pigmentation; whereas youthful skin is characterized by its unblemished, evenly pigmented, smooth appearance.
The basic fundamentals of skin care maintenance include the use of the appropriate combinations of skin care products including: Cleansers, astringents, exfoliants, alpha-Hydroxy acids, Tretinoin, moisturizers, sunscreens, and make-up.
Advanced non-invasive “no-downtime” procedures are offered at Aesthetique Skin and Rejuvenation and Laser Center to remove the ravages of time and exposure. These treatments remove and reverse the aging process by improving skin tone and pigment, reducing wrinkles and stimulating collagen.
