Prejuvenation With BOTOX® Cosmetic, Lasers, and Microneedling
- Posted on: Feb 14 2024
When it comes to aesthetics, most men and women focus on symptom reversal. Once their skin begins to sag or wrinkles start to form, then they start looking for the best methods to correct their skin issues. But, why wait when you can prejuvenate?!
With prejuvenation, both women and men get the chance to prevent a certain condition from appearing instead of trying to reverse it. This makes it easier to maintain a youthful look for a longer time, without having to go through an “awkward phase.” Let us help you learn more about prejuvenation and the best treatments to use for this purpose.
What Is Prejuvenation, and When Should You Start?
Prejuvenation involves setting a series of preventative steps to delay visible signs of aging. This option is used as an alternative to correcting after an issue occurs, which can be time-consuming and maybe even embarrassing for some people. With prejuvenation, patients use a mix of at-home skincare and preventative treatments to keep the skin in good shape.
The earlier you employ the prejuvenation procedures, the easier it will be for your skin. Most patients start in their 20s with this kind of treatment, but if you’re older than that, you can also begin prejuvenating your skin in your early 30s. The secret is to start before you notice signs of aging so that they do not have time to settle.
Popular Prejuvenation Procedures
There are several procedures that we offer at Azul® Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa to delay the early signs of aging, including the following:
1. BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is frequently used to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, but what very few know is that it can also be used for prejuvenation. Dynamic wrinkles often appear due to your muscles contracting unnecessarily under the skin. The constant contraction movement causes the skin to crease, preventing it from falling back into its smooth place.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is made using botulinum toxin, which temporarily disrupts the signals between your nervous system and your muscles. As the muscles are no longer receiving the message to contract, the skin does not crease or wrinkle as much, keeping your youthful aesthetic for a longer time.
2. MOXI™ and BBL™
No matter if you’re naturally aging or exposing yourself to sunlight, signs of aging often have one cause: the loss of collagen. The less you produce, the more difficult it will be for your body to keep the lines and wrinkles from forming. This is where laser procedures like MOXI™ and BBL™ come in.
MOXI™ is a gentle laser that resurfaces your skin, triggering your skin’s healing process while improving collagen production. BBL™ also uses IPL (intense pulsed light) with the same end, targeting minor skin concerns and triggering collagen production. By getting regular treatments, you will have a steady production of collagen, keeping the aging signs at bay.
3. Microneedling and RF Microneedling
Last but not least, microneedling can also be considered a great procedure for prejuvenation, without using any invasive treatments. With traditional microneedling, very small needles will be used to trigger your body’s healing response, helping the skin resurfacing process. The procedure also enables collagen production, preventing wrinkles.
For an even better effect, RF microneedling can also help you maintain a youthful look for a longer time. As the needles create microchannels in your skin, radiofrequency energy will also be delivered through them, which ultimately tightens the skin over time. This triggers even more elastin and collagen production, offering dramatic results in the long term.
