In Your 50s

The fifties are a great decade for many people. You may still have children at home or you may have grandchildren. The youthful attitude and energy often reported by people in this age group may be incongruent with the aging changes they see in the mirror. You’ve established yourself in your career, and now is the time make sure you re-establish appropriate balance in other aspects of your life. Staying active, eating right, and making healthy choices are more important than ever, so we suggest the following:

Lifestyle

In addition to the health benefits, it’s important to keep active while maintaining a nutritional diet with plenty of water, omega fish oils, multivitamins, and nutritional supplements. Effective sun protection is critical, so remember to choose a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 15, wear a hat with a wide brim when possible, and choose sunglasses that protect the delicate skin around your eyes. Hormonal changes can dehydrate your skin and slow the cellular regeneration of the skin, so be sure to adjust your cosmetics and cleansers to keep your skin clean and exfoliated without causing additional damage.

Treatment Considerations

We can work with you to find a solution to help reduce signs associated with rosacea (redness on the face) and brown spots. Ask us how Intense Pulsed Light Skin Rejuvenation can help treat the areas that concern you.

Facial Fillers, such as Restylane, Juvaderm, and Teosyal, can provide a natural beauty lift in your cheeks, jowls, and the corners of your mouth while reducing the fine lines and wrinkles around your lips.

eMatrix, an effective sublative rejuvenation procedure, can reduce the appearance of acne scars while stimulating collagen to provide enhancement of the skin structure, resulting in a “lifted”, vital and more youthful appearance. Alternatively, today’s generation of chemical peels are highly customizable, gentle and effective on even the most sensitive skin types. Depending on the strength of the peel, downtime may be minimal. Peels provide an excellent alternative to higher priced treatment options. The strength of the peel will determine the amount of collagen production (fine line and wrinkle reduction), however all peels will leave your skin looking radiant with smoother tone, texture, and reduced pore size.
