As we age, we lose collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of our skin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that give youthful skin its plumpness (volume) and tightness (elasticity). Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, providing structural integrity and connecting cells together. Elastin is the protein that gives tissues and organs the ability to recoil - or bounce back – after stretching. We also have a slower rate of skin cell turnover in the outer layer as we age compared to when we were younger. These are some of the reasons why aging skin starts to appear dull, rough, sagging, and the visible appearance of pores, fine lines, creases and wrinkles becomes more prominent.
We offer multiple treatment modalities to comprehensively address the signs of skin aging. Our treatments are based on the science behind aging and should be started even before these skin changes become apparent. In addition to comprehensive aesthetic skin care, we offer injectable neurotoxins, fillers, microneedling, vampire facials using PRP, microneedling with RF, and PDO thread lifts. Our practice is unique because we can offer treatment options ranging from completely noninvasive to traditional cosmetic surgery.
