5 Keys Signs of Skin Aging

The five key signs of skin aging are: fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, sagging skin, pigmentation and unwanted redness. The sun causes EXTRA red veins to form including diffuse redness, increased pigmentation like freckles, wrinkles and sagging skin, as well as pore enlargement which can create little bumps called sebaceous hyperplasia. It’s important to see a dermatologist regularly to check for skin cancers that are also caused by the sun.

We use a combination approach to treat skin aging. The first step is to ensure adequate sun protection, which means sunscreen on a daily basis as well as CLEAR UV-blocking window film for one’s car.

Second, a rejuvenating topical skin care regimen is absolutely key to prevent and reverse the signs of skin aging. Our Photon Effect® Daily Care Regimen consisting of Photon Boost and Recovery Vehicle are the perfect 1-2 combination to exfoliate and protect your skin from the outside world.

Third, we add injectables such as toxins like Botox®, Dysport®, or Xeomin® for those forehead lines or lines between the eyes (the 11s), as well as smile lines around the eyes. Injectable fillers like Juvederm®, Restylane® and Belotero® are mostly used for the lower face to treat lines on the side of the nose and mouth, the nasolabial folds, and marionette lines on the chin. Fillers are also used to plump up lips giving them a fuller look.

Finally, lasers can improve fine lines and wrinkles, redness, pigment, and enlarged pores. These would include lasers such as the: V-Beam Prima® and V-Beam Perfecta®, the Excel-V®, PicoWay® and PicoSure®, Fraxel Dual®, CO2RE®, UltraPulse®, Clear and Brilliant® and others, as well as microneedling radiofrequency devices such as the IntrCell®.

This combination approach to skin aging yields the most complete and quickest pathway to rejuvenated skin.
