Here's everything you need to know about solar energy
Derived from vitamin A, retinoids are praised for their ability to reduce wrinkles and fine lines by increasing collagen production.
They speed up cell turnover, leading to smoother and more youthful skin. Retinoids are a firm favorite due to the significant and visible improvements they offer against fine lines.
Chemical peels have a following due to their versatility and ability to address various skin concerns, including aging, sun damage, and acne.
These treatments involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the top layers, revealing fresher, less wrinkled skin beneath.
Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles, which can reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. Once considered somewhat extreme and taboo to talk about, it's become a lot more mainstream.
Botox injections are non-invasive, offering immediately visible results in smoothing expression lines—particularly around the eyes and forehead. Botox has exploded in popularity in recent years, among a wide range of ages.
Similar to Botox, they offer instant results and can last for several months, hydrating and plumping the skin under the surface.
Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane use hyaluronic acid to plump and add volume to the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging.
It rejuvenates the skin, and has gained a following for its ability to give a fresher, brighter skin tone with little to no downtime.
A minimally invasive procedure, microdermabrasion uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface to gently sand away the thick outer layer of the skin.
Laser treatments remove layers of skin very precisely, stimulating collagen production and leading to tighter, younger-looking skin.
Lasers have a cult following due to their effectiveness in helping to treat common concerns including wrinkles, scars, and skin hyperpigmentation.
Microneedling is a popular anti-aging treatment thanks to its ability to improve skin texture and firmness, as well as reduce scars and pore size.
This procedure involves tiny needles that create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Despite scoring heavy on the ick factor, its more "natural" approach to anti-aging—using the body's own healing mechanisms—has seen PRP therapy become popular.
PRP involves injecting a concentration of a person's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and skin.
It stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the skin's foundational layer, typically addressed in cosmetic surgery. It does so without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin, and with no down time.
This non-invasive treatment uses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin on the face and neck, supposedly providing results akin to a facelift without the need for surgery.
IPL treatments use light energy to target and reduce the appearance of age spots, sun damage, and rosacea.
The popularity of IPL lies in its ability to improve skin tone and texture with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
Red LED light is often used for anti-aging purposes as it can stimulate collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
This therapy uses varying wavelengths of light to trigger the skin’s natural healing processes. It's non-invasive and suitable for all skin types.
It's particularly effective for deeper wrinkles and scars, and its precision makes it a crowd-pleasing, targeted anti-aging treatment.
This laser treatment creates microscopic holes in the skin in order to stimulate collagen production and resurface the skin.
This facial involves a machine that sprays highly concentrated molecules of oxygen into the epidermis (upper) layer of the skin.
Infused with vitamins and minerals, the oxygen facial promotes collagen growth and detoxifies the skin, giving hydrating and rejuvenating effects.
RF therapy is a non-surgical method of tightening the skin. The RF waves penetrate the skin to heat the tissue beneath.
The heat from the RF waves encourages collagen and elastin production, to provide skin tightening without downtime or discomfort.
