As we age, our bodies change, and that includes our skin. Aging skin can make us look older than we feel or make us look tired – whether we are or not. Naturally, many men and women want to combat the signs of aging so they can look as youthful as they feel. While many over-the-counter lotions and potions claim to help create a more youthful visage, laser treatments can do in several sessions what no lotion or serum can. Here’s why you should consider laser therapy for improving your facial aesthetics.
Changing Faces
There are several reasons our skin changes over time. As we age, our collagen production slows, causing the skin to thin out, affecting the “bounce” or “snap back” our skin had in our youth. Diminished collagen also causes dryness and decreased cell turnover.
Another issue we face as we age is the slowed production of oils in the skin, which, like decreased collagen, can cause our skin to dry out, accentuating fine lines and wrinkles.
Thinned skin doesn’t just dry out, either. It can actually make us more prone to sun damage, which can make wrinkles and dark spots worse. It can also cause the skin to loosen, which causes that sagging, hollowed-out look in the face, jowls and neck.
Skin can also become red and inflamed thanks to an increase in blood flow under the skin’s surface. Redness can appear on the cheeks, forehead, chin, nose and ears, so basically on most of the face.
In addition to redness, sun spots, liver spots, freckles and moles can appear on the skin or become more visible thanks to previous sun damage.
Improving Facial Aesthetics
While they can’t compare to laser therapy, there are still many benefits to anti-aging creams and moisturizers, so don’t skimp on those. Look for products with active ingredients, and always choose products with an SPF of at least 15 for daytime use.
Eating a healthy diet full of essential vitamins, minerals and fatty acids is also an easy way to improve the condition of the skin.
Why Use Lasers to Improve Facial Aesthetics?
Anti-aging lasers have been proven to be both safe and effective since they debuted in the 1980s. These lasers target specific wavelengths of light that penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating deep levels of tissue. This encourages cell turnover and improved cellular function. It also stimulates collagen production, causing the skin to appear more supple and youthful.
We use the Fotona laser to target the problem areas of your skin to reduce redness, increase cell turnover, and improve the appearance of dark spots, wrinkles and more.
Laser treatments can also help reduce the appearance of scarring, stretch marks, rosacea, spider veins, vascular lesions and much more.
Different Types of Laser Treatments
There are many different types of lasers to improve facial aesthetics at Restore Modern Dentistry. They treat everything from the neck to the lips. Here’s a breakdown of the treatments we offer.
LipLase
Have you noticed a loss of volume in your lips as you have aged? Would you prefer to avoid injections? LipLase is the perfect solution. Using advanced laser technology, LipLase stimulates the collagen in your lips, improving their shape, size and overall appearance. This treatment can be used on lips that are showing signs of aging or are simply lacking volume due to genetics.
NeckLase
This fractional laser treatment targets the neck and can address everything from enlarged pores to dark spots. The fractional laser improves circulation and collagen production, eliminating wrinkles and providing smoother skin. It can even eliminate double chins from sagging skin.
SmoothLase
SmoothLase tightens the skin around the nose, mouth and chin, eliminating wrinkles, lines, skin laxity, folds and creases by stimulating collagen production.
SmoothEye
SmoothEye targets the delicate skin and muscles around the eyes and can combat eye issues like fine lines and crow’s feet. It can also target those smile and frown lines that make us look older than we really are.
