1. Dry Skin
Dry skin is especially common during the winter months because of the cold weather and low humidity. Fortunately, there are skincare products and treatments that can help repair and hydrate dry skin. One treatment option is microdermabrasion, which uses an instrument with tiny aluminum crystals to exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal glowing new cells gently. This can help improve the appearance of dry, dull-looking skin by revealing younger, brighter-looking skin beneath the surface.
2. Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Sun damage is a common cause of wrinkles and fine lines, especially those who have spent a lifetime in the sun or other harsh outdoor elements without proper sun protection. However, one cause of wrinkles and fine lines is volume loss- as we age, the collagen and fat that give our skin its plumpness and volume start to break down. This can be a big problem for those with thinning skin, especially in the nose-to-mouth area (nasolabial folds), cheeks, and jawline. Luckily, there are treatments like Restylane that can restore volume to your skin. This way, you will be able to maintain a smooth and youthful appearance well into your later years.
3. Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is when the skin produces excess melanin in one body area, leading to an uneven skin tone. This is usually the result of some trauma to the skin, like a burn or scratch. Luckily, some treatments can help improve hyperpigmentation, like Photodynamic Therapy and chemical peels that strip the top layer of skin and promote collagen growth.
4. Sagging Skin
Sagging skin is common in aging populations because it's often caused by volume loss and the breakdown of collagen and elastin, both of which help keep your skin firm and plump. There are treatments like Endermology that can help improve sagging skin by boosting collagen production to plump up your skin and smooth out those fine lines and wrinkles.
5. Acne
Acne is a chronic skin condition caused by a buildup of bacteria, excess oil, and dead skin cells in the pores. One cause of acne is excessive testosterone production in women, which can stimulate the sebaceous gland to produce excess oil. Acne often occurs on the face or neck, although it can also occur on your back. Acne is an inflammatory condition that causes redness, swelling, and pain. It can be hard to treat because the body's immune system is involved in the inflammation that causes acne flare-ups. There are skincare products like tea tree oil and sulfur soaps that can help reduce the number of bacteria on your skin and speed up the healing process for your current breakouts, but there are also treatments like chemical peels, IPL Acne Clearing, and microdermabrasion that can help get rid of acne scars.
