Unfortunately, we all age. While we know this is a reality when we’re young, it can still be a bit jarring when you start to see signs of aging in your own face and skin. The good news is that anti-aging treatments have improved by leaps and bounds over the past decade. Now, more than ever, there are countless ways to reverse and slow the visible signs of aging while also helping to support your overall skin health as you age.
If you’re in the Orlando area, Balance MedSpa is the place to go for anti-aging treatments. We specialize in non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments that require little to no downtime for recovery. We also take a very personalized approach to your care. Our practitioners consult with every client to better understand their skincare needs and concerns and then recommend the treatments that are best able to meet their needs.
Here are some of the most popular and effective anti-aging treatments that our clients enjoy.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a very simple, cosmetic procedure that can address a number of age-related skin concerns including:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Loss of skin tone
- Dullness
Your practitioner uses a special device to insert numerous, tiny needles into the surface of your skin. This creates tiny wounds, and as your body heals those wounds, your skin produces more collagen. Aging skin is usually suffering from a loss of collagen, and the collagen boost from microneedling can help create a more youthful look.
Botox and Neurotoxins
Dynamic wrinkles are a common, age-related skin concern. These are wrinkles that form when you move your face, such as when you smile, laugh, or frown. Smile lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles are all dynamic wrinkles.
When injected beneath the skin, Botox and other neurotoxins temporarily paralyze the tiny muscles in the area. This eases the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Botox is FDA-approved, has a long track record of safety, and the results last for months.
Dermal Fillers
Some wrinkles are static, meaning that they remain obvious whether or not you are moving your face. Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lateral cheek lines all tend to be static wrinkles.
For these types of wrinkles, dermal filler injections tend to be the anti-aging treatment of choice. Fillers essentially add volume to your skin – volume you’ve lost in the aging process. The results can last for a year or more. Some well-known dermal fillers include Restylane, Sculptra, and Juvederm. The practitioners at Balance MedSpa can recommend and administer the filler that best fits your needs.
IPL Treatments
IPL stands for “Intense Pulsed Light.” Sometimes, this treatment is called a photofacial. A special device is used to send intense, targeted pulses of light onto your skin. This treatment works really well for milder signs of aging, such as age spots, fine lines, and broken blood vessels. Most clients need several initial treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, and then follow-up sessions every 6 to 12 months to maintain their results.
Inifni®
Infini is a more specialized form of microneedling. Radiofrequency waves, or RF, are delivered through the needles while they are inserted into your skin. This is not as painful as it sounds! Practitioners can apply a numbing cream to reduce discomfort during treatment.
Infini treatments work really well for wrinkles and sagging. They can also help smooth out roughly textured skin.
Photodynamic Treatment
We all know we should be wearing sunscreen daily. But many of us were not as careful as we should have been when we were younger, resulting in sun spots and age-related sun damage. Photodynamic therapy can help erase signs of sun damage, including precancerous lesions.
This treatment begins with the application of a special, amino acid compound called Levulan. Then, your practitioner skins a specific wavelength of light onto your skin, which activates the treatment and yields incredible results.
Photofractional Treatment
Some of the first signs of aging are uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and less-even skin tone. If you’ve just begun to notice these issues, then photofractional treatment is an option to consider. This treatment combines IPL technology with a laser therapy called ResurFX. While there will be some post-treatment redness and soreness, the final result is skin that’s much smoother with smaller pores and more even coloring.
If you’re in the Orlando area and are interested in any of these anti-aging treatments, don’t hesitate to contact Balance MedSpa. We’ll schedule an initial consultation, evaluate your skin, and tell you more about the treatments that can restore your youthful glow.
