As youth fades, we enter the stage of life where dry skin, grey hair and wrinkles are common. Natural ageing can never be prevented, but with laser skin clinics we now have the ability to treat its appearance and feel a little better about ourselves in the process. There are many ways we can all contribute to this new relationship with ageing, and it all starts with how we treat ourselves as individuals.
Self Love
Smoking, diet and exercise - we've all heard about the importance these play in the ageing process, but it's still so fundamentally true that we're repeating it again. Have you quit smoking yet? Do you eat well and exercise regularly? Pay attention to these factors before considering going to a laser clinic, and you will be well on the way to living comfortably with ageing.
Protective Measures
As well as the way we take care of our body, there are extra things we can do to help ourselves on this journey - things like wearing sun cream (even on cloudy days), avoiding tanning, and wearing protective clothing like sunglasses and tops with long sleeves. Without this sun protection, prolonged exposure to the sun can speed up the ageing process significantly. Regardless of how much protection we take, however, eventually we must soon face the physical signs of ageing.
Wrinkles
Laser clinics can treat the appearance of wrinkles on the skin, giving a smooth, fresh and young appearance. These injections are practically pain free and are most commonly applied to crow's feet, the forehead, and frown lines between the eyebrows. This is only the start of what laser skin clinics can offer.
Dermal Fillers
In areas where you want volume added to your face, dermal fillers are used to create a firmer and more lifted appearance. Comprised of a hyaluronic acid based gel, this is a natural skin component that results in a classic fuller and plumper look for healthy skin. This is generally used on the cheek bones, for lines that run from the mouth to the chin (marionette lines), and under the eyes. And to get that skin really glowing, how about using your own blood in a laser clinic to rejuvenate your skin?
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy, or ‘The Vampire Facial'
Despite its sensationalist nickname, this procedure is actually rather benign in its contribution to the anti-ageing process. Using your own blood to produce concentrated plasma that's injected into the desired area, this laser clinic treatment sends out growth properties and natural stem cells to regenerate damaged tissue. Helping to produce more collagen, your skin will get that natural glow you've been searching for.
