It might not always seem like it, but our skin is extraordinarily vulnerable. It’s exposed to the open air, toxins, and pollution. Harmful UV rays hinder its ability to produce essential nutrients. Internal factors like inadequate nutrition, the natural aging process, and significant weight loss can lead to a decrease in the skin's natural elasticity.
Even when we’re clothed, we’re really naked, incapable of fully shielding ourselves from the things that could harm us. Damage builds up–scarring, abrasions, burns, and hyperpigmentation–all made worse by the natural passage of time.
Ah, the unfairness of it all! In a perfect universe, we'd be eternal and indestructible. But alas, reality has other plans. Instead, we gaze into the mirror each day, witnessing the subtle signs of aging, like our skin's gentle nudge that time is indeed marching on.
With today's technology, we can turn back the hands of the clock—well, sort of. Aging and damage may be inevitable, but we have the tools to protect ourselves and our skin, allowing us to lift, rejuvenate, and maintain our youthfulness.
There are people who avoid the worst effects of aging well into their 60s and 70s. The signs are there, but their skin doesn’t sag. They eliminate spots and combat the loss of fat and bone. They do so by avoiding vice, eating right, and protecting themselves from the sun. They also undergo rejuvenation procedures.
When most people hear the word “procedure” they think of surgery, general anesthesia, scalpels, scars, and pain meds. That’s a taxing process that can leave you bedridden and incapacitated for long periods of time. It’s not for the faint of heart.
That’s why so many patients choose to ditch the scalpel and opt for non-surgical treatment options. Here at Avenue 1 Aesthetics in Royal Oak, MI, we've got your back. Let’s explore some of the many solutions available and how they can work wonders for you.
Anti-aging injectables are by far the most popular rejuvenation procedures. They can smooth the skin and sculpt the face, providing volume in strategic locations. The following are the two main types of injectables:
Lumeccca Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment, commonly referred to as a photofacial, uses pulsing lights to bombard the skin with multiple wavelengths, similar to what you would expect from laser therapy, but much gentler.
It kicks off a process known as photothermolysis, which heats the dermal layer of skin, creating a tightening effect. It also clears the complexion and erases hyperpigmentation. The result is a smooth, youthful surface, free of many of the impurities that can come on as a result of aging.
Morpheus8 is a patented device that combines the rejuvenating power of radiofrequency (RF) waves and microneedling–two different methods that both work by signaling the body to create more of the nutrients that keep the skin tight.
It’s a great way to address skin laxity, which is responsible for many of the signs of aging. It can also smooth wrinkles and lines, reduce the appearance of scarring, and improve skin texture and tone.
