As we age, many of us want to retain our youthful looks as long as we can. While Beauty is only skin deep, more help is needed to achieve a healthy, younger-looking face. It may be time to consider how facial rejuvenation procedures improve skin renewal.
How Facial Rejuvenation Procedures Enhance Skin Renewal
When people think of skin rejuvenation for their face, most think of facelifts. While some doctors still perform facelifts, new procedures that are less invasive and require less healing time have replaced surgical procedures for a wrinkle-free appearance at any age.
Today’s skin rejuvenation is non-invasive and allows your body to create more elastin and collagen. You will look younger, your skin will feel and look younger, and it will boost your confidence! These new facial rejuvenating procedures can also remove scarring, reverse sun damage, and heal skin conditions.
What is Rejuvenation?
By definition, rejuvenation is the act of restoring something. The treatments below do that and more. Facial rejuvenation restores your face to its younger self: healthy, glowing skin, wrinkle-free eyes, and smiles. While you won’t look forty years younger, your newly rejuvenated face will no longer show signs of aging!
You will have an even skin tone, increased firmness in your face and neck, and smoother, more defined cheeks and lips. Wrinkles and fine lines will disappear, but the best part is feeling younger and confident in your skin!
Signs of Facial Aging
No one thinks about how our skin will age when they are younger. All the sun, wind, pollution, and poor skin routines show on our faces as we age.
Spots and discoloration – Those cute freckles at thirteen are not so pretty at sixty-three: grey and brown facial spots (melasma), sun damage, and melanin-based discolorations (hyperpigmentation).
Wrinkles – Smile and frown lines result from years of facial muscle movement. Deeper facial wrinkles that pop up over time aren’t affected by facial movements but are still wrinkles!
Vascular-based conditions – Cherry angiomas, spider veins, and rosacea.
Loss of elastin – Lose or sagging skin such as waddle below the chin and base of your neck.
Dry skin – Lifeless, crepey, dull skin with a coarse texture.
Facial trauma – Scarring from injuries and surgery.
Adult acne – Acne that stays with you into adulthood and oily skin.
Treatments for Facial Rejuvenation
Treatments can be invasive, such as microneedling, or non-invasive, like chemical peels. Not all of these treatments have immediate results. Many will take a few weeks for results to appear and may need to be repeated in several months.
Chemical peels
Encourage cell exfoliation by applying a chemical solution to the face. As the skin peels, newer, healthier skin appears. The more chemicals added, the deeper the results and the longer the peel will last. A superficial peel lasts one to two months.
Facials
It can be a cleansing system, or a single product applied to your face. They are customized for your skin type and needs. Most facials treat elasticity and firmness issues, fine lines, and discoloration, eliminating oily skin and clogged pores. You will see results in forty-eight to seventy-two hours that last several weeks.
Stem Cell Therapy
It is a newer rejuvenation therapy. The Mesenchymal stem cells are harvested from donor cells and injected into facial cells. After the application of cells, they have been observed to potentially contribute to cellular regeneration and improvements in skin appearance. They may also help reduce swelling and inflammation. This technique allows specialists in stem cell use to design a treatment plan tailored to each patient.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this therapy is that stem cells have the potential to continue interacting with tissues over time. While changes may take time to appear, some studies suggest they could influence skin texture and elasticity, as well as the appearance of fine lines and other signs of aging.
Fillers
Such as Juvéderm are also injected into the area where they are needed to lift and increase volume. They are widely known for plumping lips and creating luscious-looking lips. But they also create fuller cheeks, define your face by removing fat, and rejuvenate while brightening under the eyes. Unfortunately, it may take six to eighteen weeks to see filler results!
Fractional CO2 laser
Face regeneration therapies use lasers to remove sun damage, skin discoloration, wrinkles, and scars via carbon dioxide. The lasers create holes in the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production and facial healing. Results last about three to six weeks, after two weeks of pink skin.
Injectables
Are done using needles. The most common of these is Botox, a toxin that affects the nervous system. It is injected into the muscle, temporarily paralyzing it for up to three months. Botox is used for dynamic wrinkles created by facial movement, such as smile and laugh lines, crow’s feet, and worry lines. You will not see the results for a week.
Laser resurfacing
It is fractional lasering without carbon dioxide. The laser extracts the skin’s top layers to encourage collagen production.
Microneedling
Stimulates regeneration through micro-punctures to the skin via microneedles.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
It is used to eliminate redness and sun-damaged skin. Light pulses destroy the targeted pigmentation to improve the skin’s texture and color.
Benefits of Facial Rejuvenation Treatments
Regardless of the method you choose, facial rejuvenation offers vast benefits. Many people combine several procedures to maximize the benefits. The results can be superficial, such as removing the first few layers of skin to increase collagen or Botox injections that stop muscle movement to relax wrinkles. All the above methods will make you look younger and improve the texture and elasticity of your face. You will feel confident in your younger looks, especially when stem cells are used to rejuvenate and regenerate your face.
Recommendations to Maintain Rejuvenated Skin
Maintaining your rejuvenated skin is not as simple as a good skin routine, though that will go a long way. Ask your skin expert for the best products to maintain your younger-looking skin.
- Use a good skin routine based on your facial needs
- Always use sunscreen. Choose make-up with sunscreen when possible.
- Keep your skin moisturized with a quality moisturizer recommended for your skin and drink lots of fluids to hydrate from the inside
