Anti-Aging Q & A
What common skin complaints are associated with aging?
As you get older, your skin and the soft tissues underneath lose their firmness and strength. Skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity. Your body produces less of the compounds elastin and collagen, which contribute to a youthful look. Aging skin often lacks moisture, so it can dry out and become rough.
Exposure to pollution, ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning beds, and a poor diet can accelerate these aging effects.
Can the skin effects of aging be prevented?
Although aging is inevitable, you can take steps to reduce and slow the effects aging has on the appearance and feel of your skin. Avoid excessive time in the sun, especially during the hours of 10am-2pm, when the UV rays are most intense. Use mild cleansers and appropriate topical applications, such as high-quality serums and moisturizers. Eat a healthy diet, avoid smoking and overindulging in alcohol, and exercise regularly to further promote radiant skin.
Dr. Lee can help you develop a skin-health plan to promote a younger, smoother, and more vibrant complexion. She offers some of the best topical formulas and other solutions to repair and revitalize aging skin.
How do chemical peels fight the signs of aging?
Chemical peels involve the application of chemical compounds to the skin to cause the outer layer of dead, damaged skin to slough off. This reveals newer, more youthful-looking skin.
Dr. Lee uses noninvasive chemical peels that don’t require a long recovery and lots of downtime. You experience a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, smoother-textured skin, and more evenly toned coloration following a chemical peel. Because Dr. Lee uses relatively mild chemical peels, you can repeat the treatments several times a year.
How does laser resurfacing fight the signs of aging?
Laser resurfacing removes the outer layers of skin that may be damaged or aged. You reveal fresher, newer skin and stimulate the production of new collagen to support a healthy complexion. With laser resurfacing, any scarring, hyperpigmentation, and lines become less noticeable.
