There is no reason that skin should not be healthy and beautiful for those who are 60 and older. We are pleased to help all of our clients find a skin care regime that works best for the changes that happen to their skin over time.
What Does Happen to Skin Over Time?
By the time a woman reaches her 60s, the worst hormonal effects on her skin have likely passed, although the collagen and elastin that kept her skin resilient in youth have also diminished. Lifestyle factors also play a role; smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and overexposure to sun can make it more difficult for skin to heal and renew itself.
What Can I Do To Maintain Healthy Skin Now?
There are steps you can take on your own to keep your skin as healthy as possible, including:
- Moisturize day and night
- Wear sunscreen every day to reduce further damage
- Remove makeup thoroughly to allow skin to breathe and eliminate bacteria buildup
- Get plenty of sleep for rest and rejuvenation
- Drink plenty of water to flush toxins and keep your skin hydrated
- Eat healthy foods, including foods high in antioxidants
- Choose quality skin care products, such as the Jan Marini Skin Care Management System MD, which can help soften the look of lines, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation
What Else Can I Do?
Our staff are pleased to offer several treatments for patients to help them look their best. They include:
Chemical Peels
Available in a variety of formulations and strengths, peels remove the top layer of damaged skin, clearing up a dull complexion, and reducing age spots or wrinkles. Read more about peels here.
Micro-needling
Micro-needling by a professional aesthetician stimulates the client’s skin into producing new collagen in a controlled way, making the skin more supple and softening the look of wrinkles. Learn about micro-needling here.
Dermaplaning
Our aestheticians use a fine blade to gently remove the top layer of skin, revealing smooth new skin underneath.
Facials
Our experienced Aestheticians customize a specific facial according to your skin’s unique needs, to cleanse and hydrate your skin, making it brighter and more youthful looking.
Dermal Fillers
These fillers plump up areas of the skin that have become somewhat thin or slack, such as lips or cheeks. Learn which filler is right for you.
Botox
The most popular minimally invasive cosmetic injection, Botox temporarily improves the appearance of frown lines between brows, forehead creases, and “crow’s feet” with minimal recovery time.
