It is not uncommon for men and women in Austin to start to notice signs of aging on the skin of their face and neck. Often this starts in the 30s, and it can be more pronounced in those with light skin tones or those who have spent a lot of time outdoors in the Texas wind and sun.
One of the reasons that skin can start to look old, dull and dry is a natural change in the cells as well age. This includes the loss of collagen, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles forming on the face. Sunspots, acne scars, blood vessels on the nose and cheeks and even skin that seems loose or sagging creates a look of age.
The good news is there is a range of non-surgical skin rejuvenation processes that are used by top Austin plastic surgeons to reverse these signs of aging. Different processes can be selected to match your skin type and the specific issues with the skin of the face, neck and even the chest area.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are carefully selected types of specialized acids that are applied to the skin and then removed. The chemicals remove the surface layer of skin cells, leaving a smoother, more youthful look to the skin. Without the old, dry surface layer the skin gets a youthful glow.
Lasers
There are different laser treatments available for skin rejuvenation. To remove surface discolorations or to create a firmer look and feel to the skin, pulses of light can be used to naturally stimulate skin healing from within.
For removal of the outer layers of skin that are damaged, or to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, ablative laser treatments are highly effective. These are in-clinic or in-office treatments.
Other options for skin rejuvenation processes in Austin include microdermabrasion, micro needling and the use of fillers and Botox treatments.
