Many women and men worry about their skin as they age because skin can become rougher and more fragile, slack, transparent, and more easily bruised. While some of these issues may seem contradictory, they can all happen. Besides those qualities, aging skin develops fine lines and wrinkles. Many members of both sexes try to bypass or minimize these aging qualities by opting for cosmetic products and procedures that will firm, even, and strengthen skin. Cosmetic companies have responded to users’ clamor for skin products by developing a range of dermatologist-approved medicines and treatments to combat aging. In some cases, these companies have bundled products to create deals.
For example, at one Medical Spa in Kansas City, several treatments comprise the session. If a client signs up for a medical spa appointment at Western Dermatology Consultants Santa Fe, the client will be treated to a rejuvenating cocktail made of Juvederm, Restylane, Botox, Coolsculpting, Thermage, and Skin Toning. This session aims to restore, invigorate, and protect clients skin from detrimental aging symptoms. Juvederm is a lidocaine-containing gel injection that fills moderate to severe facial wrinkles for up to one year. Restylane is an injectable filler that contains hyaluronic acid to correct wrinkles and folds in the nose and mouth area including the lips. Botox is an injectable product made from botulinum toxin and is used mostly for wrinkles and lines in the forehead, brows, and temples.
Coolsculpting is a noninvasive treatment that uses cryolipolysis to attack fat cells by cooling and eliminating the lingering fat. Unlike the injections, this session can last for one to three hours but with much less discomfort. Thermage, the last service in the Medical Spa in Santa Fe, seeks to tighten skin with a noninvasive method by using energy from radio frequency waves. Essentially, the skin is heated and cooled to encourage collagen to be produced and contract the skin. This time for this process depends on the amount of skin being covered: for a large area, the session can take up to one hour. As with all medical treatments and products, prospective clients should consult with the dermatologists about the above treatments before signing up as the services can have detrimental side effects.
