Why Skin Loses its Elasticity

Although our bodies release fewer of the substances that keep us young and dewy as we grow older, the biggest contributor to aging skin is UV damage from the sun. That “healthy” glow that we didn’t worry about in our youth works against us later by destroying the mechanisms that prop our skin up.

These fibers, known as elastin, are what allow our skin to stretch and snap back with ease. However, lack of care, age, and sun exposure eventually break down the elasticity and allow our skin to sag.

Three Sure-Fire Ways to Turn the Situation Around Without Surgery

When the signs of aging are beyond what creams and serums can fix, it’s time for more drastic measures. However, you don’t need surgery to get good results.

In addition to good nutrition and plenty of water to keep your skin healthy from the inside, protect it from the sun and try one of the following treatments to reduce the damage.

1. Start Over With a Chemical Peels

Chemical peels allow you to have a sort of do-over when it comes to skin damage. Our VI peels are formulated to remove the surface layer so that healthy new skin can take its place. Not only do these treatments reduce the signs of aging and scarring, they also stimulate collagen production and allow new elastin fibers to generate.

2. Cutting Edge Technology to “Blast” the Problem Away

If you need a firming treatment that goes beyond facial procedures, consider Fibroblast skin tightening. This procedure can cover large areas of skin or target specific sources of concern.

Using a special device, your aesthetician will cause minor but beneficial damage to the surface layer of skin while transferring heat to the dermis. This stimulates new collagen and elastin production that lifts and firms the skin.

It’s basically a face or body lift without the scalpel that can target and correct:

• Skin around the eyes
• Fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck
• Acne scars and UV damage
• Baggy knees and elbows
• Minor abdominal sagging and scarring

3. Plump and Firm With Injectable Fillers

If you just want more fullness or wrinkle reduction around the face, injectable fillers like Juvederm® offer a solution. This treatment works by injecting a formulation of hyaluronic acid into folds and creases to increase collagen production and plump the skin. It can be used around the lips or nasolabial folds and to “fill in” hollowed-out cheeks or eyes.
