As much as we wish to retain the supple, glowing skin of our early twenties forever, our skin will inevitably change as we age. Some telltale signs of ageing skin include age spots, wrinkles, and fine lines, among other changes in the skin’s texture and appearance.
However, by adhering to a skincare routine and with the help of non-invasive anti-ageing skin care treatments such as Thermage FLX Treatment, you may support overall skin health as you age. Read on to find out about how anti-ageing skin care treatments can benefit your skin.
What is Anti-Aging?
Anti-ageing is a method of delaying your skin’s natural ageing process. These treatments come with manifold benefits, including:
- Retaining skin firmness
- Boosting brightness and radiance
- Refining your skin tone
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Even though there are several surgical procedures available to reduce the premature ageing of skin, non-invasive treatments with minimum to no downtime are preferred by patients. Certain non-invasive treatments may help improve the appearance of skin texture and tone, depending on individual factors.
Non-Surgical Procedures to Take Care of Your Ageing Skin
Depending on your unique skin concerns and beauty goals, you should first consult a qualified dermatologist to determine a suitable skin care plan based on your individual concerns. The skin specialist will first assess the problem areas of your skin and then provide personalised recommendations.
Sun Protection
Regardless of your age or the beauty procedures you follow, the first and most fundamental step in effective skincare is sun protection. Sun protection is vital in slowing down the skin’s ageing process. Excessive sun exposure is the primary cause of wrinkles and dark spots on the skin in the twenties and thirties. A sunscreen with an SPF 50 or above is recommended, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors in Singapore.
Topical Treatments
Your dermatologist may recommend an over-the-counter or prescription topical treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Anti-ageing products may contain alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHA and BHA), retinol, and vitamins A and C. These compounds may help eliminate dead skin cells and support skin renewal, which may improve overall skin texture.
Microdermabrasion
This minimally invasive procedure uses a specialised applicator with an abrasive surface to gently sand away the skin’s thick outer layer. This can help improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.
Dermal Fillers
As we age and lose collagen, our facial volume decreases. In such circumstances, dermal fillers may be used to address concerns related to facial volume loss, subject to medical assessment. Dermal fillers are used by skin care specialists as a wrinkle treatment, especially for deep wrinkles and fine lines that are evident mostly around the lips and eyes.
Laser Treatments
Certain laser treatments are designed to promote collagen stimulation and skin renewal. Furthermore, laser treatments also assist in the removal of age spots and reduce pigmentation and fine wrinkles in patients. Your skin care specialist can advise you on the number of treatments necessary to achieve optimal results.
How Thermage FLX Treatments Can Benefit Your Skin
Thermage is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to deliver controlled energy to deeper layers of the skin, which may support collagen stimulation. It uses radio-frequency technology to heat the deep, collagen-rich layers of the skin while vibrating and cooling the top layer while incorporating cooling features intended to enhance patient comfort.
Some individuals may observe improvements in skin texture and the appearance of fine lines following treatment. In addition, a single 30–90-minute Thermage treatment session (depending on the area that is being treated) has the following characteristics:
- Non-invasive: It does not require surgery or injections
- Maximum patient comfort
- Some individuals may notice gradual improvements following treatment. Results and duration vary.
- Multiple treatment areas: Including loose skin on the face, around the eyes, and on the body
- Downtime is generally minimal, though individual experiences may vary.
- Targeted results
